beautiful track!! could I have the id please? :)

There's a track on HAAi's upcoming debut album, Baby, We're Ascending, called "Louder Always Better." That kind of sums up her approach right there. (See also: "Biggest Mood Ever.") Since her first record, 2017's "Be Good" her approach to dance music has been to make as dense, overwhelming and uplifting as possible. Much has been made of her background in psychedelic rock, which definitely informs records like the muggy, intense Motorik Voodoo Bush Doof Musik, but it's not the whole story. A better point of reference might be DJ Harvey lost in the Australian desert, but comparisons are beside the point. At this point, HAAi is completely unique.

The Australian producer has made quite a name for herself as a DJ in her adopted hometown of London, and while her album shoots off in all directions—from ecstatic rave-pop to sultry stunners—her RA Podcast captures the spark that makes her such a beloved force behind the decks. Weaving powerful techno from artists like Atrip and Piska Power with weirder, adventurous music courtesy of Cocktail Party Effect and Sha Sha Kimbo—plus a few tastes of HAAi's new album—it's an eclectic mix that's as windy and unpredictable as her records. Plus, it ends with classic track by The Cure. That's just good taste.

RA.829 HAAi

For our RA2122 series, we've been focusing on dyed-in-the-wool DJs paying tribute to the places that were most important to them. But what if you're an electronic music superstar and you didn't necessarily get your musical education in a club? That's how we come to Marie Davidson, a Canadian artist who counts among the world's most engaging and electrifying live performers, mixing techno with electroclash and post-punk for a sound that feels familiar but totally new at the same time. In 2019, she announced she was retiring from live club music, and then formed a band with fellow Montreal scenesters. But on her RA Podcast, she returns to dance music with a cannonball-sized splash.

To hear her tell it, Davidson only became interested in DJing recently—she's only been doing it for a few months. It's a new way for her to explore club music and also pay tribute to the artists she loves, without putting her whole self out there in the same way required of live performances.

But you could never tell that Davidson is new to DJing. Her RA Podcast is  a masterpiece of modern techno building and pacing, dipping into straight-up trance several times in a way that reminds us of Sasha's legendary Global Underground 013: Ibiza mix CD, with an hour of steady tension rewarded with one hell of a melodic payoff. She sounds like she's ready to play at some of the world's best clubs, proof positive you don't need to have the usual backstory to be an excellent DJ.

For this month’s episode of Carhartt WIP Radio, we’ve got a selection of speedy Berlin techno, gabber, hardcore, and trance, courtesy of @djgigola and the label @livefromearth Klub. The independent company and artist collective is run by DJ Gigola alongside a group of friends and features musicians and producers like Nene H, horsegiirL, MCR-T, or Bauernfeind.

A Berlin native, DJ Gigola began rising through the ranks of the local dance scene in 2016. She became known for her versatile club sets, which featured everything from techno, house and percussive rhythms, to hit pop records. Since then, DJ Gigola has  released a string of EPs, remixes and collaborative projects, sealing her reputation as a no-boundaries producer.
 
In anticipation of the release of her introspective dance album Fluid Meditations, out on February 3rd, DJ Gigola prepared a mix for Carhartt WIP Radio, which unlike her debut LP, features speedy Berlin techno, gabber, hardcore and trance, courtesy of a selection of Live From Earth Klub artists. Accompanying the show is an interview with the artist, who discusses how a recent leg injury led to a shift in perspective, the potential effects of ASMR on the dancefloor, and what her predictions are for the ‘sound of tomorrow.’ www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

This mix is a collection of recently discovered gems, all released in what is widely regarded as THE best year for dance music: 2007. Expect big room productions, glitchy sound effects and lyrics so sexually-charged it turns dance floors into some sort of sonic squirt caves, or – depending on where your preference lies – bassline bukkake bunkers. The mission remains: to serve cunt as severely and unapologetically as I possibly can – whether it be in music or in life. And with this mix, recorded for and dedicated to my dear Maricas, I might be considered bi-curious after all ;)))
