A fresh dose of interplanetary house from the Perth based Butter Sessions producer @guycontact!

Much like his recent run of brilliant 12s, the latest of which are soon to drop for UK outfits @hawsmusic and @craigie-knowes, Guy Contact expertly transports us through a psychedelic time warp back to a moment when progressive house was at its peak, with tightly pulsating grooves met by metallic synth lines and dreamy celestial atmospherics. An alien trip through the blissful and serene with just enough bite to launch you into the unknown.

* INTERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-dj-life/

Pat Brick aka DJ Life has been on a steady rise since his debut record released in 2019 with Echocentric Records, corresponding with the labels first release. The Aussie DJ and producer has since had a total of eight releases with prominent underground labels such as Dansu Discs, R.A.N.D. Muzik, and most recently, Lobster Theremin’s Distant Horizons sublabel. The energetic and fun take at combining prog, trance and techno has landed DJ Life’s name amongst the top in his league of sound.

We caught up with DJ Life on this edition of MIXED BY to discuss a bit about his music production, influences and the Australian underground dance music scene.

INTERVIEW.

MIXED BY/ DJ Life

Back in April I had the chance to play at one of the coolest parties I've been to, WARNING in Berlin. Originally was booked to play as Space Cadets but Adam was ill so I did it solo, was quite nervous at the start (which never usually happens), when the pitch of the first track starts drifting by itself you know you're in for a real ride!

Luckily with the support of my friends and a really up for it crowd, I got into a flow pretty quick and everything just started to work - I think you can really hear that moment happen haha. The party was billed as a rave and I really leaned into that vibe, so lots of acidy bits, trippy tools and fast transitions!

Was a real pleasure to just play a bunch of my all time faves to such a great crowd on a ultra crisp and deep system, big love to anyone who was there! Hope you had as much fun dancing as I did playing <3 

Enjoy! x

Babylon X is the duo project by MYKI and Olsvangèr. Born through and for their own imprint Tofistock, they naturally unite together for a special need and common feeling to relieve times and energies on the dance floor or as they say the “sense floor”. Taking over Tapes #75, they bring you unreleased music for this high-energy mix. 

Their first track released in the label's boutique collection and considered the theme of the collection - ‘Hyper Love’ represents part of their perception of the space of time and nostalgia, a value that they deal with in their work consistently.

This month, on September 22, they released an EP called Truckupidööm, a conceptual and diverse 5 tracks that provides a journey in a disintegrating and creaking truck, rolling through magical landscapes, underground, in the deserts of the unknown.

Unable to put a foot wrong at the moment, whether it be through his homonymous record label or his own production work ranging from dance floor effective steppers to razor-sharp club bouncers, we caught up with Spray, and he’s delivered a steamy club mix built perfectly for smoke-filled dance floors.

The Sizeable Mix Vol. 1: Rey Colino

Cromby’s career is on a steep upward trajectory; the Irish DJ and producer who calls Berlin home, has played at major clubs and festivals all over the world including esteemed venues like Robert Johnson, The Warehouse Project, fabric
and Boiler Room. Becoming a regular at Panorama Bar, he’s been tasked with handling the infamous closing set on numerous occasions, twice keeping the club open past midday on Monday, a testament to his selector skills and the
depth of his record collection.

Cutting his teeth holding down a six-year residency at the legendary Shine in Belfast, Cromby’s first record came out in 2012 on New York’s The Love Revolution. Following this came two releases on Berlin’s Tenderpark and a relocation to Berlin via London. He enjoyed pivotal years in 2018 and 2019, releasing on three ground-breaking labels; Sulta Selects
Silver Service, Feel My Bicep and Unknown To The Unknown.

Despite the collective challenges faced, Cromby has continued to ascend in recent times. During the summer of 2020 he launched his own imprint Potency, aimed at exploring different realms of house, techno and acid. Combining old
school rhythms with new school flavours, the debut release was led by ‘Shake It’, which despite the lack of dancefloors, became a fan favourite throughout the year. Additionally, he was tapped by Hör to become a resident and continues to
play quarterly sets for the beloved streaming crew from Neuköln’s most famous bathroom. When a nomination came for Breakthrough Artist of the Year in DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards at the end of ‘20, it came as little surprise to
those in the know.

The two years have seen Cromby begin a monthly radio show with Berlin’s community initiative Refuge Worldwide, alongside debuting on one of techno’s longstanding tastemaker labels, Rekids. Another notable highlight has been ‘Qué
Sientes’ featuring vocalist Tee Amara, his maiden release for Erol Alkan’s iconic Phantasy Sound imprint. The EP stands as a crucial step in the Irish artist’s development and was lauded throughout the industry. A critically acclaimed follow up ‘Loving’ landed in late January 2022, picking up plaudits including DJ Mag’s Staff Picks tune of the month and a spot in RA’s best releases in February round-up.

The long-awaited Potency 002 dropped finally in February 2022, presenting a trio of tracks – ‘Obsessed’, ‘Excavator’ and‘Body Rush’, which reinforced his broad all-night appeal: "I wanted an EP that you can reach for in every dancefloor situation and imagined what it would be like in certain moments - the euphoric hands in the air one, the after-hours roller, and the straight up acid cut.”

A debut on Craigie Knowes titled ‘Freaks on Speed’ was another 2022 high point, before the Irish artist resumed a busy touring schedule with highlights including a debut US tour, Robert Johnson, Blitz in Munich, Lux Fragil in Lisbon,
Shelter in Amsterdam, Nation of Gondwana, Australia’s iconic Pitch Music & Arts Festival, plus a trio of standout sessions at Panorama Bar, reinforcing his position as one of the club’s vital go-to artists.

The new year sees a string of Potency EPs lined up for release, alongside a return to Rekids with a thrilling three-tracker ‘Skyboy’.
