San Francisco’s Loveshadow @loveshadowdjs is a dance collective / music project between Anya and Izaak, two bay natives whose underground paths have dotted across the bay, Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit, eventually landing in Oakland where their origin story finds them crossing paths working together at the former local Perch cafe. A shared love of a track by Aurra heard through the radio at the cafe becomes the catalyst that would eventually lead to their musical world building drawing from emotive sophisto-pop fused with balearic jazz and funk; through Anya’s vocal and songwriting set against the backdrop of Izaak’s productions. This has transpired through countless DJ sets that span across Fault Radio, Seance Center, NTS, Beyond / Below, among others, a release through Portage Garage Sounds with friend Ryan Spencer entitled S Transporter and their new Music For Memory self titled release.

As the year culminates, we are guided by Loveshadow delivering two hours of pure cosmic subterranean energy. Mining otherworldly realms imbued with esoteric atmospheres, they extract on the more offbeat offerings of jazz, post punk, dub, dark wave synth pop, and all the delightful intersectional sonic layers that can be found in between. A listening party that mystifies and opens portals into an unknown tomorrow.

Soeneido @aurora-mesa is a music producer and DJ residing in Oakland CA. His production explores the realms of Jungle / Drum n Bass styles both new and old deriving much of his inspiration from the early UK hardcore and jungle styles of the 92-96 era. He has self released much of his own original music available at soeneido.bandcamp.com. His latest conceptual jungle EP titled “Deadly Venom Weapon” released on NoBias is currently available at Coneshapetop and at nobias.bandcamp.com. Soeneido plans to release more music in the coming year with various labels including Nobias and also on his own startup label Lo-Tek.

For this installment, Soen guides us on a nostalgic trip, expertly cutting and scratching through early jungle and UK hardcore. Initiating with classic 90 bpm beat and then gliding straight into warm liquid styles flowered with jazzy vocals, 90s R&B anthems and hip-hop inflected jump-up. Each interval swiftly enters and exits, switching zones with new tessellations of dizzying rhythms, bass reverberation, lightning fast amen breaks and rave piano euphoria. For all true junglists, enjoy!

m50 @m50 is an enigma. Releasing music as Area for years, starting and running Kimochi in 2010, contributing to the Gramaphone Records blog, DJing worldwide, yet still remaining extremely low-profile, the attention always on the art and never on the person. This same ethos runs through Kimochi. No advertising, likely discovered via word-of-mouth (the way we did), small run releases that aren’t about moving units, always remaining true to a vision of immersive textural sounds presented in a unique and meaningful way. 

The Maybe More Oblong mixtape encapsulates this same spirit, deep melodic techno swims with hallucinatory house and euphoric trance-breaks, each turn a surprise, pushing us down into the murk only to pull us back up into a glowing light.

San Francisco’s Dyatron Industries @dyatronindustries transcends the realms of an indie label and DJ duo. Through a deeply commited love of music and vinyl and an extensive personal collection spanning Italo Disco, Electro, Synthpop, Hip Hop and Dark Wave Rave, an otherworldly universe exists and within it you will find the Man from Dyatron (Luciano Duran) and DJ Mechanica (Vee Reyes). Two robots transplanted to Earth from the Dyatronian galaxy with a mission to sustain, preserve and honor all Italo and Electro music through live vinyl dj sets within the deep caverns of SF underground clubs and bars, a monthly show on Sutro FM and limited reissues with wonderfully hand-drawn comics illustrated by Lu that draw us even deeper into their world. We are so thrilled to have them this month.

For this current installment, we dive deep into the galactic abyss leading us into a retro futuristic sci-fi rave. The first stop is a cosmic break dance circle with the Man from Dyatron kicking off the first hour mixing through deep 80s electro bass peppered with freestyle anthems and old school hip hop verses. The second stop, DJ Mechanica teleports us to a 90s blissful breakbeat rave Milky Way, interlaced with moments of melodic euphoria that closes with the enchantment of sunrise at the end of a party.

Very proud to have @whysufar on the 27th Selects. Part of the inimitable Translate crew of whom created some literal pillars of Eora/Sydney scene in the form of a sound system and who constantly impress with their events - Sufar has kindly shared this delicate, deep and bubbling warm up set for Donato Dozzy at the Strange Signals after party at a warehouse earlier this year.

To commemorate our recent tenth birthday we have a special one hour mix by our dear friend Vladimir Ivkovic. Vlad has been a great champion of the gun over the years and has supported us in every endeavour over the years. If you have been lucky enough to catch one of his six or seven hour Gun sets, you will know how special they are. when he plays, we always leave the pub knowing why we do this, as its always so special. Whatever the blend of styles, you always know you are listening to a Vlad set.. his ability to coerce the sounds into something larger and fabulously textured  is unrivalled, in our opinion.
So we are very pleased to be able to share with you this trimmed down mix from the man himself (Thanks Vlad). Trying to explain music is pointless when you can just listen, so i will sign off with that.. and cheers to all of you who come to well street and continue to support us.

Ten Years of The Gun - A mix by Vladimir Ivkovic

Nerve @lo4nerve is a Hong Kong based multidisciplinary artist whose practice mines the boundaries between contemporary music, sound art, multimedia theatre and underground subcultures. With a background in classical composition and 90s rave culture, he explores the extreme sound experience by mixing electroacoustic, beat, bass, fx and samples into a new form of free improvisation performance.

Fight or flight are the options during a global pandemic. Music can be relief, a space to forget, or it can be a mirror, a space to confront. Nerve gives us permission to dive in headlong. Told through the vernacular of bass and noise, this mix embodies 2020 in sound and sentiment. The opposite of escape. A pummeling reflection of the present and a foretelling of an unforeseen chaotic future. In this dystopian world, tracks dissolve into swift and relentless cuts, and just when it begins to feel overwhelming, you’re hit even harder with industrial cacophony and distant basement dance floor reverberations. The release is nothing short of cathartic; sometimes pain feels good too.
