Archie Hamilton joins Nick Dansu for the 2nd hour of the Dansu Discs November show. Ahead of some exciting plans for 2022 for Archie Hamilton on Dansu Discs. Label Founder, Nick and Archie got together and showcased their favourite records from both past and present.

Dansu Discs w/ Nick Dansu & Archie Hamilton - November 2021

Egy kis live a nappaliból, megidézve a múlt év sok sok táncát, részemről a hálát, részetekről a támogatást. Ez mind új még kiadatlan saját szám. Csak, hogy folyjon szabadon szánkból a nyál... Meg egy rögtönzött váz: lássuk, halljuk ebben az évben mi vár ránk!

A little live from the living room, evoking the many dances of last year, thanks on my part, and support on your part. This is all a new, unreleased own track. Just to let the saliva flow freely from our mouths... And an improvised frame: let's see and hear what awaits us this year!

Grapes and Raves // Dance without hates

With what was mostly a full and fruitful year for us with many beautiful moments, we now turn our eyes forward to what is looking to be a very exciting year for us at Phonica as we walk into our 20th year of being alive. 2022 saw our mix series get even more killer contributions from artists like Paramida, Sally C, Fred P, Eden Burns, Alex Kassian, Erol Alkan and more. 2023's series line up plans to keep moving up and we have opened this years mix season in the capable hands of two of the finest DJ/Producers doing it right now. Bringing nothing but powerful, euphoric and goddess energies it can only be Octo Octa and Eris Drew of T4T Luv NRG. Amazingly celebrated for their strand of psychedelic, rolling progressive, trancey-house and break rhythms we can't think of two better selector's to take on our series. With an excellently curated compilation and mix for our good friends at Fabric last year as well as two banging cassettes on T4T we can't begin to imagine what this year has in-store for Maya and Eris but we have no doubt it's even more on the upward trajectory! Most likely to the heavens and back! We had a chat with Maya and Eris to see what they have been up to lately and little about how they approached the mix.

Phonica Mix Series 103: Octo Octa & Eris Drew

Mix number ~80~ … we’re starting the new year just as we mean to go on with an all mighty mix recorded by none other than DJ TEETH (@djteeth) and TPR (@tpr_dj) from one of our favourite Berlin collectives HYPERSOFT (@hypersoft_bln) 🧡

The first Patterns of Perception mix of 2023 comes from a luminous presence and dear friend of our collective - label head, mix series curator, promoter and esteemed selector Aaron J (@arn_j).

Over the years, a combination of passion, openness and tireless energy has seen Aaron become a trusted voice for experimental, boundary-pushing electronic music across both the US and the wider scene. 

Founded over eight years ago, Aaron’s much-loved platform @sure_thing is the embodiment of his forward-thinking curation and clarity of vision. Now based in Brooklyn, Sure Thing started as a series of parties in San Francisco before growing outward, later blossoming into a renowned mix series and record label. 

As a DJ, Aaron’s level of empathy and attention-to-detail are unmistakeable, allowing him to deeply connect with the dance floor no matter the context - layering, building and driving emotions ever onwards.

Aaron J's Patterns of Perception 106 is both radiant and personal - an idyllic snapshot of the perfect dance floor, glowing with wide-eyed energy. Pensive darkness simmers into hedonistic psychedelia. Intensity turns reflective. Endless rhythms vibrate and flare into nurturing light.

Patterns of Perception 106 - Aaron J

Fresh batch of unsigned / forthcoming tunes in the mix for your listening pleasure :-)

Abdul Raeva - 200% Unreleased

Butter Sessions is one of those labels that can go absolutely anywhere and still make sense because theres an element that tags it down to the ears of Sleep D aka Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos. The two label heads behind the absolutely iconic institution straight outta Melbourne, Australia have worked with aritsts like Roza Terenzi, D.Tiffany, Tornado Wallace, Yuzo Iwata and more creating a platform for upcoming and solidly established artists to broaden their sound and explore into the unknown. Like the artists they represent Sleep D as DJ's and producers have touched all sides of the club and eclectic spectrum having dropped many anthem filled 12's(including a very solid LP on Anthony Naples' Incienso) as well as experimental outings on labels like Play On Records. 
For Off The Record #37 Syawish and Kikos have dropped us straight into the elements of the main room. A smoke machine filled warehouse of house, techno, bass and percussive club rolling excursions. Strap yourself in(or don't?). 
We had a quick chat with Sleep D about the mix, the Melbourne scene and Butter Sessions and more!

Starting her journey behind the booth in Birmingham via collective Selextorhood, now based in London, L Daze has been shelling out masterful recent sets for prestigious names such as Goddezz, Aquatic Formations, Whomp and Rhythm Section. Drawing inspiration from the 90's / early 00's trance and prog era, this talented selector combines old-school hypnotic sounds with the paced up state of modern dance floors. This hour long mix for us represents just a taste of the sheer class L Daze has when it comes to crafting absorbing story telling through tripped out grooves and mind melting sonic atmospheres. Superb stuff!

Fixation w. Primitive Needs - 28 March 2024

Alkotó pályázat 2024

Having upped this one to our Soundcloud late on Friday afternoon, it dropped just in time for the eagle eyed follower’s weekend enjoyment but it was just shy of the time required to present it proper, right here on this blog. So when we arrived to the office this Monday morning it was pretty neat to see the sentiments of respect and appreciation its weekend listeners have offered the mix’s creator, Eddie Richards, which we think does a neat service to the position he holds as an artist today. 'Evil' Eddie Richards is a proper Godfather figure to London's house scene and he remains a key player as resident at Nathan Coles and Terry Francis's celebrated Wiggle party. Owner of the recently reactivated imprint, Storm, Eddie also partners with Terry Francis for their regular Room Three takeover, Demo; a night of four four blended music created to showcase who they both see as the next wave of talent on the rise. 

The next Demo event is set to take place this coming Saturday night with Moon Harbour protégé, Sable Sheep  set to join them on the floor. So, seeing as we're also huge appreciators of what Richards does we thought it well timed to ask him to produce his own fabric x Demo Mix to hear what he’s filling his sets with at this point in time as well as some of the latest productions his has in store for release on Storm...

Episode 80 has landed! Welcoming to the Comma family a quickly rising name within the London circuit going by the name of Julia SC.

Midlands-raised, SE-London-based Julia SC's taste for melodically tripped out euphoric dance music was shaped in Leeds when serving as an Editor for the (now defunct) Flux blog - the much loved House and Techno event, and label. Now making a rapidly growing presence for herself within the London trance and prog scene, Julia has graced us with a delicately crafted mix that paints a sunkissed hug in the form of vintage deeply dug electro, breakbeat, trance and prog. What's so distinctive about this mix is how much it showcases an individual sound for this absolute talent of a selector and how we are held in a space of complete escapism from the first track to the last. 

Thank you Julia for providing us with this hour of tripped-out bliss!

In the 1st hour you can listen to Debbie, followed up by Primitive Needs in the second hour. 

DJ duo Primitive Needs take their name from a tongue in cheek nod to the low-tech/high-art club-centric productions of yesteryear, which the duo pay homage to in their releases and behind the decks. Having showcased their wealth of influences with releases on Craigie Knowes, R.A.N.D Muzik and Naarm’s own DMO, the pair present themselves as both genre-spanners and DJ tools; wrenching every last drop of 90s nostalgia from their moderately priced hardware.
