‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

The unofficial mayor of Naarm aka Dawn Again brings us a gift from above, a three hour stopover filled to the brim with the deepest of chill core cuts and mind-bending principles. The literal embodiment of the soundtrack to spring. This is made for the sun. Slip, slop, slurrrrrp. Xo

FHUO # 89 // Dawn Again

London’s friendliest DJ duo Merchant summon their deepest club crates for two hours of summery prog and rhythm heavy house heaters!

Oozing their signature feel good sensibilities, this one’s a bumping ride with classy 90s groovers and contemporary UK dance music mixed up with love as the main ingredient..

Q. What inspiration did you guys draw upon when planning out and making this mix together, and what kind of listening environments might you see it being easily enjoyed in?

A. We’ve always loved a variety of different music and it feels really nice to be able to put out a dance mix that shows that side of our sound. We often spin dance music with our mates at home before a night out, so this could be quite good for the pre-game or as you’re gearing up for the dance in the festival campsite.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. Two of the three tunes we’ll be releasing in our first EP this summer are in the mix so look out for tracks Viva and Twenty46. We worked with our very talented producer friend Strath on those and we are excited for playing them more this summer. 

Another standout is Rockin The Boat by Reflex Blue. It’s got the perfect amount of groove to it with that sax coming over that acid line and it’s a great track for moving sets in different directions. 

We are also really fond of the last two tracks. 

Life Formation by Epsylon 9 is a 90s trance track that has got a lot of positive energy. We paired that with the closing track Please Come To My Show by Kolter which carries that atmosphere but with a more contemporary sound. 

Q. Harry I know you’re heading back to the UK to reunite with Al after spending the summer down here in Aus. What are you guys looking forward to upon your return, any new projects or parties in the works?

A. Mainly excited to give each other a big hug, crack a bottle of wine and chuck a few records on. DJing never feels the same when we aren’t together so we are really looking forward to some nice European gigs soon. Obviously the EP is also exciting. We are also starting a run of parties later this year so keep an eye out for that on our insta if you’re listening from London.

DREEMS

Beginning of the end or end of the beginning? Destined to close proceedings in 2022, cult leader Dreems simply refused to go down with the sunken ship, resurfacing shortly after with a sonic tribute to the greatest party that never was. 

Bittersweet as this post-apocalyptic transmission may be, a deep dive into one of Earths most colourful imaginations always lands us on the sweet side of bitter. 

From the comfort of hindsight, we invite you into ‘3 Hours Deep Inside the Fantabulous Imaginarium Crater’ a nod to what should have been & perhaps what’s to come…

PDA MIX 13 ♥ Mowgli

For the latest instalment of the PDA mix series - we are more than honoured to invite Rotterdam based DJ Mowgli. Mowgli’s sound has been shaped by minimal wave, proto EBM,  the noisier edges of Chicago as well as Italo and Hi-NRG downstream from the Dutch West Coast scene. You can hear these influences transmuted into this recording of expertly configured, left-of-centre mutant House music to jack your astral body to!

Tune in and drop out 🫠
