" Julion De'Angelo is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ raised in North Carolina and based in Detroit, MI. Playing bass, cello and drums across many genres, from free jazz to metal, to noise and punk, has fortified De'Angelo's musicianship and cultivated a constantly evolving sound rooted in the Black American experience. With a steady stream of releases, De'Angelo has cemented his ethic as an adventurous sonic innovator both celebrating and pushing beyond the dancefloor with fearless and moving compositions. 
His acclaimed debut was a joint EP with Thomas Xu, "Roots That Talk" released on the legendary, Sound Signature label in 2017. He introduced the world to his genre defying rhythms and unique percussive exploits on "Stand on Your Square" for Tone Log. Collaborating with Viola Klein, he crafted two remixes for Meakusma, offering hypnotic, Detroit flavoured meditations grounded by Afro Cuban drumming. His 2021 EP for Japan’s Freedom School Records presented an experimental and playful sonic exploration that begins on the dancefloor and ventures out into freeform Black experimentation.
 Over the last 3 years De'Angelo has solidified his position as a world-class selector, worthy of carrying the Detroit torch. He has recently DJ'd at renowned venues and events such as Boiler Room, Meakusma Festival in Belgium, Tresor/Globus Berlin, The Hydra at Printworks London, Nowadays NYC and Underground & Black Detroit, contributed to iconic parties like Music Gallery, Black Music and Roots That Talk, alongside radio sets and mixes featured on esteemed stations such as NTS, Hor Radio, Kiosk Radio Brussels and Lot Radio. Forever connecting with his roots, he actively engages with African, Afro-Cuban, and Puerto Rican drum & dance troupes, fostering community connections and cultural exchange.
De’Angelo’s 2023 EP for his label, Maybee Hill Music, reflects his ever-evolving pursuit of fresh sounds and musical exploration. De'Angelo continues to make an indelible mark on the world of music as he challenges conventions and reshapes the sonic landscape with each electrifying performance, impassioned collaboration and distinct composition, honouring the transformative power of Black expression and pushing it forward."

Transmissions From Planet Groovy 006 — Lil Mofo

For someone who wasn't born there, Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann might be the most Detroit guy to ever exist.  Moving to the motor city from LA at only three weeks old, he has never "truly" left since. His music channels the musical legacy of Black Detroit – transplanted Delta blues, gospel, Motown and Fortune, Stevie Wonder, the Electrifying Mojo and the Belleville Three – with an unassailable verve. His dust-spackled opus "Silentintroduction" has hummed continously in the background of house music since its release in 1997, inspiring generations of producers.

For October’s edition of Carhartt WIP Radio, we’re welcoming London producer and songwriter Nathan Jenkins, also known as Bullion (@bullionness). 

Bullion made his debut in 2007 with the release of “Pet Sounds: In the Key of Dee,” a mashup project that remixed the music of J Dilla with The Beach Boys. Evolving this sample-led approach, he released the project “You Drive Me to Plastic” in 2011, composed of samples taken from YouTube clips, old vinyls, and incidental recordings.

A string of releases followed across labels including Honest Jon’s, R&S, and Young, before Bullion launched his own imprint DEEK Recordings in 2012, with the release of his 80s-pop-tinged EP “Love Me Oh Please Love Me.”

Alongside his prolific solo projects, Bullion often works with other artists, with credits ranging from Nilüfer Yanya and Sampha to Avalon Emerson and Ben Howard. Bullion’s latest album, “Affection,” highlights this collaborative aspect, featuring contributions from Carly Rae Jepsen, Panda Bear, and Charlotte Adigéry.

For this Carhartt WIP Radio episode, Bullion has created a mix featuring a vibrant blend of his solo work, as well as production for other musicians, and select remixes. 

Alongside the mix is an interview where Bullion discusses the influence of an early Pet Shop Boys album, the art of collaborating with other musicians, and his thoughts on technology’s effect on music. Read the talk via www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music
