preserving something like this is the single greatest upside for the borg i have known yet

so cool, but why did the recorder skip Mojo's comments??? tape pause? unfortunately it ruins the genuineness of the whole thing! :(

The electrifying mojo was legendary in Detroit Music History almost as big as Motown itself

Mars & Specter • 6hr Session • 8/2024

In just a short space of time and with but a few releases, Berlin based Brit Jay Donaldson has carved out his own house style. Referencing old school Chicago nostalgia whilst coming laden with analogue textures and jacked up beats, his sounds have come in the form of a couple of EPs on Lobster Theremin and are soon to be released on a debut EP for Dekmantel (out on March 16). His In Gold EP features three more spiritual house cuts with crisp percussion and elastic basslines, cosmic synths and heartfelt pads that have real purpose. Ahead of that, though, he serves up the next instalment in our podcast series. 

Starting with some deep, melodic house music the mix then smoothly transitions through some tropical sounding beats and painfully emotive vocal grooves that being to pick up the pace.  Classics like No Smoke’s 1989 cut ‘Koro Koro’ then proves Palms Trax digs deep for his musical nuggets as he journeys through hip house, Latin inflected broken beat and more experimental and harder hitting fare in the final section. The style is considered and cerebral, the music is lush and evocative and the selections are brave and fresh. As such, this is a subtly stirring mix that will awaken your week in the nicest of ways.

Dekmantel Podcast 005 - Palms Trax

In the summer of 2024, I was fortunate enough to spend the summer in New York City. And I couldn't pass up the chance to see Legendary Theo Parrish. He played a six-hour set in his signature style. I was so hungry for that sound and dancing to those rhythms and vibes. I spent the whole 6 hours in front of the DJ booth... in front of this magic sound system, dancing non-stop, all 6 hours! As a keepsake of such a rare and very significant event in my life, I decided to record the entire DJ set in full on my phone's voice recorder. After six months I decided to share this incredible and magical musical Universe in which there is one God and that is DJ! And his name is Theo Parrish! I apologize for the raw sound of the audio recording on the recorder, and all the noise around the music, but it emphasizes the atmosphere and mystique of that morning! Yes, that morning! Theo started playing at 9am and finished at 3pm! It was like a Sunday service at church. I'm blessed! Thank you Theo!

Highlighted track: Josh Wink - Used to be

“This song is quite new, but captures the essence of a sexy acid house record. In a timeless way. The vocals always make me wander through my mind, and makes me reflect on my past life. For some reason it really triggers quite some emotions with me”.
