incredible sound from the very first second!

@hiroakioba good memories since years 😜

"I recorded this mix last fall at a really low point. I needed to feel heat in my body and to try to transform my frustrations into something positive through the music. The set starts fully ecstatic and hectic with lots of deck fussin' and cuts, but it settles into what I jokingly call the "Spa Eris" sound. In like a lion and out like a lamb my Mom used to say. I wanted to end gently, not just 'cause I figured we all needed it, but also out of respect for the other players and programming that day, which was sprawling and magical."

LOTR artist Alex Kassian on a warm up vibe.

LOTR X Refuge Worldwide | 30 July 2021

Interview: https://www.deeprhythms.com/guest_mixes/133_hiroaki_oba_for_deeprhythms.php

Mr. Lee aka Hiroaki OBA is best known for being one half of Opal Sunn (together with Alex Kassian) that have taken the duo's live sets to festival & club stages like Sonar and Panorama Bar.

The Berlin based, self-proclaimed "just a humble Japanese guy" is one to watch out for with some solo material coming out early 2024 on RMECR (yes, that's short for RAND Muzik x Echcentric). Hiro's productions are hypnotic and the ever-expanding textures are a great example of how countless hours of jamming live with hardware evolve into an organic & unique sound.

One of the nicest persons in my orbit, needless to say I'm super, super happy to have him as a guest (and soon on vinyl!). Stellar mix too!

"I made this mix mainly with the tracks I played in Tokyo a year ago when I was back there. When I finalized the selection of the tracks I also felt I should put something fresh for me (since I made the mix almost after a half year of my Tokyo gigs), but I decided to use those tracks to compile my good winter memories in Tokyo 2022-2023."

Nicely nestled amongst Sammy Dee, Moopie & Magda Bytnerowicz, I was asked to replace Grandmaster Zip (Perlon) for the party hosted by Lifeworld & Spincycle. I warmed up for Sammy Dee, and this is what that sounded like.

LIVE AT FANDANGO - Daniel Avery b2b John Loveless

The Tartan Records boss and equally boss DJ Wallace signs off on his recent stint down under with a mix packed with deep sea dubs and bumping 00s techy rollers. Based in England, and having previously run a string of club nights in Edinburgh, Wallace is a proud tartan enthusiast with a full tank of punchy dubwise grooves in his sporran, with plenty of nods to his UK roots here over a glorious hour and a bit full of chunky d-floor burners. Let's have it!

Q. What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. It’s been a pretty bruising winter back here in the UK but we’d just had our first smattering of sunshine when I came to putting this mix together. I think that shift—the changing seasons and the first signs of trees beginning to bloom in my hometown (as pictured)—definitely influenced the first part of the mix. The middle section leans more into the kind of stuff I’d play out, but I wanted to bring things to a softer landing toward the end. There’s certainly an outdoor feel to the selections so maybe a listening environment to match but equally I love music’s ability to transport us from our current states so bang it on indoors and see what happens.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. There’s a Steve O'Sullivan Dub early on which I recently found & it’s just a gloriously mixed and executed piece of dub techno. Towards the end another recent find by Argentinian producer Federico Molinari which to my ears sounds like a lost 80’s gem but was produced just last year. It's rare to hear a modern producer capture that classic vibe so authentically, without tipping into pastiche.

Q. You were just out here in Australia over the past weekend and from all reports the shows were on point! What kind of directions did you take people in during those sets, and how might the energy of your club sets differ from your mixes? 

A. Yes, so glad to have finally made it out here. Was a real joy to meet some lovely people in your scene and to get the chance to do my thing. Always revel in the challenge of playing in a new country as you’ve got to be on your toes to adapt but stay true to what you’re all about. I truly felt the warm Aussie welcome, so let’s call this mix a little parting gift to tide things over until next time x
