This month's mix is by yet another unsung legend of the San Francisco scene - Ken Vulsion aka Ken Woodard! I first met Ken in the late '90's when he was working as graphic designer for the Hardkiss Brothers' label Sunburn. Since then I've come to admire his design work as well as his incredible DJ history - whether as globetrotting DJ with appearances at Horse Meat Disco, Optimo, Cocktail D'Amore, NYC Downlow and so much more, or as co-founder of queer DJ collective Honey Soundsystem (and person responsible for its incredible design aesthetic) as well as local bear disco bash Go Bang!, not to mention his return to Acid House alongside DJ Spun as Acido Ahora. Ken is currently holding court at neighborhood haunt Underground SF, where Idle Cellars are posted up every Sunday afternoon for new Balearic venture ÜBar and regular appearances at new weekly evening party End of Day at Hawthorne in SF. We're so proud to present this wonderful mix of chilled-out classics and new jams alike, but I'll let Ken introduce the mix himself: 

"KEUKA LAKE (1983—Present)  Thunder awakens those not already awake. The all night party goes on and on. A bottle of Bully Hill Goat White tied to an inner tube, you are floating away."

Enjoy, and we'll see you next month!

Groove Resident Podcast 60 – Benjamin Röder

PBR Streetgang - 10 March 2025

Opened up the small room (which was still quite big) for Cartel Kingsday. Started with zero people on the floor, steadily worked our way out of the depths into the higher atmospheres. 

This is a CDJ set. I had fun. Cycling to a gig in the sun is nice. Mixing tracks for 1-2min is fun as well and not really possible without looping. Maybe I’ll play more CDJ sets in the future?? who knows🔊

Pioneer V10 & TC Electronics Flashback II Echo pedal - love that little machine!

Enjoy <3

10 - Reason With A Monkey

Se vi siete mai chiesti cosa significhi avere una drum machine o un campionatore al posto di un pacemaker, potete sempre domandare a Valerio Del Prete aka Delphi, che da oltre un decennio mette i dancefloor a ferro e fuoco. 


Sin dagli esordi per Pigna su altezze acid house (The River/ Suzuka, 2009), il DJ e producer capitolino si è imposto per classe, gusto e tecnica, muovendosi con leggerezza nelle zone d’ombra tra house, techno, disco, boogie e italo. 


Proprio quella prima release getta il seme per il fortunato sodalizio con Marco Passarani, con cui dà vita, nell’ombra e nell’anonimato totale, al mitico progetto Tiger & Woods, spaccando in due il circuito dance con una serie di folgoranti EP e ibride performance tra live e dj set con un tasso di groove pericolosamente sopra la media. Ma questa è un’altra storia.


Di proprietà del duo è l’etichetta T&W, che ospita nel 2016 un’altra traccia solista di Delphi, Blue Tuesday: un dancefloor killer tra house, ebm e italo, un gioiello che avrebbe fatto sicuramente fortuna nei leggendari passaggi di Hot Mix 5. 


Più recenti, tra EP e singoli, le escursioni su Orchid (The Loft), Skylax (Clutch Play), Running Back (7_11 House) ancora T&W (Unleashed Tapes Vol. 3), Neturalizer (Don’t Assume) e Raibano Records (Take Me): sempre e comunque brillante e prezioso materiale dalle bassline devastanti.


Per non farsi mancare nulla, Valerio coltiva più o meno da sempre anche una certa passione per beat e campionatori (e la Roma, quasi dimenticavamo), collaborando prima con il sito di podcast sportivi Fenomeno – per cui ha curato le sigle e la serie di show dedicati a calcio e musica chiamata Trequartista – poi uscendo con due dischi (Through The Window, Face the Music) registrati in casa in tempo di lockdown: brevissime schegge di boom bap scartavetrate nei loop e nella ruggine, agili quadretti hip hop pennellati su circuiteria e personale collezione vinilica, malinconiche soundtrack per osservare il mondo, per l’appunto, attraverso il vetro della finestra. 


Un curriculum che, in effetti, non ha bisogno di tanti giri di parole. Tra club e festival, Delphi il mondo se lo è praticamente girato tutto: Panorama bar, Coachella, Fabric, Printworks, Robert Johnson, Rex, Warehouse Project, Nitsa, Razzmatazz, Lux, Goodroom, Smart Bar, Video Club, Womb, Shelter, Sónar, Primavera Sound, , FYF Fest, SMS Festival, Garden Festival, Defected Croatia Lost Village, CRSSD…

Così, giusto per dirne un paio.
