G'Day and welcome everyone, this is the IL MODO Podcast. Each week we take you on a tour of Planet Progressive, searching for the most exclusive beats and grooves we can lay our hands on. 

Today we are back in Australia, and the home of an ex-pat bringing the noise to his new setting. Manchester is still in the area though, so check out this exclusive set from Marcus Graham!

As a kid from the UK growing up in 1980s Manchester, Marcus was privileged to live through the Factory Records era and enjoy the booming music scene, reshaping the city’s image from ‘dirty old town’ to the global mecca of nightlife and creativity it is today. While the warehouse and club scene  began to bubble away, Marcus spent his early teens listening to mixtapes from the likes of Sasha (who began his career in Manchester) the DJs of the Thunderdome and Hippos (Jay and Moggy) and the legendary 808 State Show - at the age of 16 Marcus got an invite to the Sunset studios, and was asked to play a live  guest mix on the show, then shortly after he was booked to play his first club gig in the city, warming up at Parliament Nightclub.

He spent many years clubbing and DJ'ing around Manchester and the City Centre, developing his style, and taking influences from the DJs of the Hacienda, Bugged Out and Tangled. He soon became hooked on the Progressive House scene led by Sasha, John Digweed, Renaissance, Cream and the Global Underground mix series, and, after a summer DJ'ing in Cyprus in 1999, returned to Manchester.

He subsequently held several residencies in Clubs & Bars around the City; Dry Bar, Joshua Brooks, South, the wonderful sweatbox where he had spent his twenties bouncing, Tangled and more recently Soundcontrol. These gigs gave Marcus the opportunity to DJ with many of his idols, such as Nick Warren and Jody Wisternoff, Hybrid and Ashley Casselle.

30 years on, now living in Cairns, Australia, Marcus still hunts new sounds to share with anyone who will listen to this veteran of the Progressive House scene, creating mixes for a series called Just Add Sunshine, as well as producing guest mixes for other online platforms.

Enjoy the mix! 

'Big love to all the producers and DJs who continue to inspire and make us dance, and to everyone who stops by for a listen, encouraging me to carry on' - Marcus.

July '23

Damien Unbroken- July '23 Mix

Still processing the week in the dust, feeling grateful for the time we had there and the memories made.

Dusty Haze

For our first mix we have LUCY with a special 2 hour journey! @lucyarrowsmith

Lucy discovered dance music on a trip to Ibiza. As her love affair with this music unfolded she felt a growing sense of joy and freedom. DJing came naturally and it was the perfect vehicle through which to share the healing power of music. Her passion motivates her to keep learning and expanding as a DJ. She says, ‘Dancing connects you to your ‘tribe’… to an experience of feeling open, free, and truly alive’.  

Lucy’s musical style is unique. A deep groove runs through her sets as she segues between darker tracks and dreamy soundscapes along with driving rhythms which flow deep, soft and driving, taking you on a journey of self-discovery.  

She is primarily a progressive house DJ but she also enjoys the tribal and indie sounds right now and gets her inspiration from a multitude of DJ’s such as John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Tantum, Mira, Brian Cid and Frida Darko when she's indulging in her love for downtempo sets.

Lucy is relatively new to the Sydney dance scene and has shared the decks with Henry Saiz for Return to Rio, Bootz n Catz, Sunset Project, The Fan Club, Phil Smart’s Tempo Comodo at club 77 and most recently the launch party of the Return to Rio festival with Monkey Safari at The Abercrombie. 

Lucy also runs a bi-monthly progressive house event with Steve Marx and Andy Hardwick called Inside Out. 

You can catch her playing next at Return to Rio festival at the end of October.

Big Love,
TR

Undercurrents #024

What was supposed to be part 2 of my Summer Mix, went a different direction and became this. With some of the track names being very close to some loss the last couple of months, I thought it was very appropriate. 
Techy off the start, but gets into my usual dreamy melodic ethereal moody stuff. 
Hope you enjoy!
