Name: Freaks - Situations (Dave Aju Remix) by Dave Aju in Selected Discography w/ notes
Duration: 9 min 30 s
Description: This remix selection is from the Freaks boys' excellent Psych album, when I had the choice of track to rework, this was an easy pick, loaded with fresh sounds, a wide spectrum of organic and synthetic tones, and of course the inimitable vocals of the mighty Diz Washigton as a cherry on top; melts away any doubts on the floor everytime.

Selected Discography w/ notes

Six months after releasing the 'Half Light Half Dark' EP, our fellow NY-er and usual suspect here at Delayed, Aspetuck, releases a remix package. The release features incredible talent from around the globe like Adam Strömstedt, Ben Kaczor, Jónbjörn, Sanguine, Forest On Stasys, and Caldera. Each track gives a new life and unique take on Aspetuck's already exceptional originals.

Our premiere for today comes from Lyssna Records founder and KANN affiliate Adam Strömstedt. Adam creates rich atmospheres and complex rhythms that work in perfect balance in his productions, and we see that recipe works magic once again in his take on 'Holding Pattern.'
The track is driven by carefully constructed broken rhythm layered with warm, cosmic pads, which lead to a signature moment of this journey when melancholic minor piano chords create a 'call and response' effect with a catchy tom sequence. This remix is an ideal soundtrack for sunny mornings on a fog-filled dance floor.

The 'Half Light Half Dark' remix package is coming out on March 25th on Bandcamp.

Peaking Lights “Television Overdose” - Sessions 6

AUX 88 (US) @aux88
Premiere at MUTEK Montréal | Édition 24
Nocturne 1 on August 23, 2023
Mastered by @pheek (audioservices.studio)

Aux 88’s live performances very much feel like a rousing old-school Hip-hop show. Though the latter certainly has legitimate claims on Aux 88’s sound, so do Techno, Miami Bass, Trip-hop and Funk. Still, the Detroit-based pair never aims to fit a narrow definition, but rather strives to make people dance, by any means necessary.

RADIO.D59B / THE NIGHT BEFORE #39 w/ Gilles Wasserman

The Quadrasphere 001 - Scavenger

[ A few words from Scavenger ]
"For this opening mix of the Quadrasphere series I wanted to showcase a lot of my more downtempo, ambient and house’ier sounds, stuff you don’t hear from me too often.  I specifically selected tracks that were all under 100bpm. I wanted the mix to have nice lazy laid back feeling, with little unexpected moments and sounds to keep the listener interested. Hopefully this is a mix you’ll come back to again and again"

02032024

This was my very first collaboration with the elusive and almighty Invisible Art Trio project - and started it all in terms of this new space and direction in dance floor music for me. Equal parts rooted in the past and future, with a potent simplistic groove and message, the world rightfully felt the energy right away and collectively acknowledged this tribute to the power of our true source of heat, light, love, and life spirit.

The Love Always

Be Like The Sun

Taken from my debut album Open Wide, this is a direct breakdown of my personal musical history, spelled out in chronological poetry by album/song/track titles from the earliest recollections of music I fell in love with up until my favorite cuts at the moment I had written this piece, around the summer of 2007. You never forget your First, especially with so much endless Love to draw from.

Open Wide

First Love

Also from the Open Wide debut, this album closing track oozed so many influences of mine at the time, there isn't room to list all of them - some clearly obvious, some not so much - but many thanks, love, and respects to the teachers and predecessors. Also to those not afraid of some sugar in contemporary song in the right dosage, and to my pops who gave me my first direct production props for this one. Big moment. Always with you too.

With You

This was the first remix I did that felt like a true lesson and musical undertaking. Dflex was a side project of Darren House aka Diesel and Felix Hopkins on the Tiny Sticks label, and the sound stems were a pure thing of beauty, full of live instrument recordings including some lovely piano and synth work, it was an honor and blessing to have the chance to rework it, and the result was eventually a proper meeting of the minds, bodies, and souls. As always, I used only the sound set from the original track, except for finger snaps and backing vox, but in this special case it was more than enough great material to endlessly work with.

Waltz (Remixes) - Single

Dflex - Waltz (Dave Aju Remix)

This was my first musical adventure with the Sol Percussion Ensemble outfit, whose manifesto was simple: to create other-worldy dance music compositions using only one chosen percussion instrument per track, in this case the Flexatone. The resulting pulsating poly-rhythmic voodoo vibe-out here still gets mad love in many a DJ set to this day, and the S.P.E. project is alive and well, due for a return release real soon.

This remix selection is from the Freaks boys' excellent Psych album, when I had the choice of track to rework, this was an easy pick, loaded with fresh sounds, a wide spectrum of organic and synthetic tones, and of course the inimitable vocals of the mighty Diz Washigton as a cherry on top; melts away any doubts on the floor everytime.

Freaks - Situations (Dave Aju Remix)

Virginia wears many different musical hats and always has. The Berlin based woman is a DJ, vocalist, song writer and producer who saw chart success early on in her career, as well as receiving underground acclaim for her album Fierce For The Night back in May 2016. She has written music with the likes of Steve Bug, has played a hybrid live and DJ set all over the world and has ties to labels like Ostgut Ton, Dolly Deluxe and Underground Quality. She has also famously provided vocals to some of Steffi’s most classic vocal tracks such as ‘Yours’, so is very much the voice of contemporary house music. 

Her podcast for us is entitled Greetings From My Garden - Music For The Heart Mix and shows off another side to the artist. It is made up of music more suited to home listening than dancing in the club, and features tracks from Massive Attack, Slam, The Orb, plus a new one of Steffi’s forthcoming album on Ostgut Ton. As such it’s a soothing listen of dreamy synths and comedown sounds, deep grooves and selection emotions that is the perfect soundtrack to the last days of summer.

Dave Aju is an internationally-recognized DJ, producer, remixer, sound engineer, vocalist and artist known for his distinctive voice and unique blend of musical styles. Born Marc David Barrite and raised by a respected Cali Jazz-head father, an early peer of Pharaoh Sanders, he soon became an avid young B-Boy and MC in the local Electro and Hip-Hop scenes before eventually finding his niche in the deeper left-field corners of mid-90s Detroit Techno and the global underground House Music movement, channeling all of the above influences into his retro-futuristic DJ sets and productions with a natural passion for dance music history, his Filipino/Ute Indian cultural rhythmic roots, and psychedelic-inspired sonic ingenuity into a raw handmade sound truly all his own.

An expansive discography which garners regular support from musical mentors-turned-fans such as Claude Young, Theo Parrish, DJ QU and Pepe Bradock includes his recently released fifth studio album Glossolalia with The Invisible Art Trio, the homecoming LP TXLAX and the follow-up Ciao Sun EP on Tokyo’s renown Mule Musiq, three previous award-nominated concept albums on Parisian outlet Circus Company, coveted remixes for select elite acts from Nicolas Jaar to STR4TA, celebrated EP releases for labels such as Ostgut Ton, Music For Freaks, and Matthew Herbert's Accidental Records, along with a deep history of notable headlining performances at globally-revered venues from London’s Fabric and Berlin’s Panorama Bar to the Sonar and MUTEK festivals, as well as regular contributions to tastemaker radio platforms like Dublab and Gilles Peterson's BBC shows. Dave Aju now finds himself in a well-accomplished creative zone at home in Los Angeles. Forever a fixture in his legendary studio developing next-level material, repping West Coast warehouse roots events with the DISCOS XXX aka DX3 crew, promoting culture connection truths with the LAXD series, penning lyrics and dropping soulful vocals for the exploratory band KAMM, while steadily mix engineering and working behind the scenes in support of a variety of LA projects, teaching production courses to future generations at Hollywood’s esteemed Musicians Institute, dropping DJ set science from his vast record collection, while running the Greasy Listening mix series that promotes new like-minded works that check the mind, body, soul boxes, and his home-base artist imprint Elbow Grease.
