wow...what a start! Grooving here in Atlanta!

Blasting this as the weather starts to warm up over here. Perfect selection. A lot of under appreciated cuts here! Thank you!

Karren Pollock should get some dough for the finest darkest bitterest Murk vocal ever is the only fault on that record

I wanted to share this mostly because I feel Miami's chapter in the American dance music canon struggles to be as well known here in the states as it is in Western Europe. Till this day, every time I am in Europe I get asked about Murk by music heads and DJs.

I met Oscar G and Ralph Falcon in 2002 while working at the old Space Miami. We immediately became friends and they soon got to teach me a great deal about music. It wasn’t until the following year that two other musical mentors, Stryke and and Danny Tenaglia, enabled my appreciation for their groundbreaking early records, as well as my understanding of their impact and legacy. Their catalog of revered works from the early 90s endures like few others from the era, continuing to be celebrated and played back on the regular at clubs throughout the world.

Turn it up.

"This mix from Diego Andrés highlights the work of legendary Miami duo Oscar G and Ralph Falcón, AKA Murk, from 1991 through 1994. Put simply, these are some of the most influential house tracks not just out of Miami, but anywhere in the world, and they still sound incredible." — Resident Advisor

Dade County 1991 — The Murk Sound

Dutch selector Tom Trago dials in a vinyl-only offering that provides a slice of warm, vibrant and sunkissed escapism just in time for his appearance at Puglia's Polifonic Festival. 

Speaking on the entry, which features tracks from house heroes Ron Trent and Soichi Terada, among others, Trago described it as an encapsulation of the "late-night emotions of the Bari area [in Puglia, Italy]".

"Working my ass off, to be honest," is how Eli Escobar starts our interview  below. That basically sums up his vibe. The New Yorker might not have the same household name status of other DJs who have been soundtracking Manhattan clubs since the early '90s, but he certainly deserves it. Any New York resident worth their salt should have him near the top of the list of their favorite local DJs. He plays anywhere and everywhere in the city, and he can play pretty much anything he wants to, as his RA Podcast will attest.

When it comes to his own music, Escobar puts out records equally informed by disco, hip-hop and house—in other words, a very New York sound. He hasn't been producing as long as he's been DJing, but his albums and EPs for labels like Classic, Night People and Razor N Tape are full of the soul, humor and talent of someone who knows dance music inside out.

As Escobar says below, he doesn't really have any one type of sound. His DJing varies greatly from night to night, and he's always adding to his considerable collection, so no one set is quite the same as another. For his RA Podcast, put together painstakingly with many specially edited tracks and recorded in a hotel room in Colombia, he strikes a relatively reflective tone, but it's still eminently danceable. He moves gradually through two hours of house and disco that ranges from celebratory to muted, from minimalist to rich with live instrumentation. It's the sound of New York dance music as passed through generations, from one of its best and most beloved musical storytellers.

Phonica dives into a new era, or season if you will, of our long established mix series after a stomping 100th mix from London legend Erol Alkan. 
We jump into our 101st mix from one of our most recent Phonica releasee's; French born and Swiss based DJ & producer Lea Lisa. If you some how managed to miss Lea's most recent outing with us we highly recommend it. Taking inspiration from legend Mark Goddard's (aka The Truth) classic "The End", Lea's "Love To The End" is her own various takes on this 1992 UK gem!  And thus is what we see in Phonica mix 101, a crossing of time, styles and blends. Passing through elements of deep, cosmic, tech and jacking styles of house Lea Lisa shows that she shares the divine skills of legends like Kerri Chandler and Ron Trent. We have a quick chat with Lea about her recent projects and to see what she has in store for the future.

As part of our celebration of 21 years of club culture, we're featuring some of our favourite DJs from around the world, highlighting the parties and clubs most important to their lives in dance music. 

The Loft is one of the most storied and sacred spaces in dance music history. Founded in Manhattan in 1970 by the late David Mancuso, The Loft was a party unlike any other: relaxed and gently psychedelic, with pristine audiophile sound played at a medium volume level kinder to the ears. You didn't need to blast the music to appreciate the sonic perfection of the music and the system it was played on. Over the decades, Mancuso invented his own influential style of DJing, letting the records breathe rather than mashing them together. Mancuso, who died in 2016, had many acolytes over the years, perhaps none more prominent than Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, who provides our final 2122 birthday RA Podcast: a tribute to The Loft.

Murphy has an impressive resume without The Loft: she's a long-time radio DJ, founded the Classic Album Sundays series and started her own Lucky Cloud Loft Party in London, in collaboration with Mancuso. Her DJing style, slow, steady and respectful of the music, channels those years spent at The Loft, and her RA Podcast embodies the disco-influenced sounds that define the party, played with care, love and reverence.

For our first APECAST back in quite some time we've got the absolute pleasure of presenting a live set from Man Power aka MPX before the legendary Jeff Mills took us on a three hour journey at World Headquarters back in October.

For a joint party between Man Power's label Me Me Me, ourselves and World HQ - we brought the techno originator to Newcastle for a wildly intimate show to headline the club's Black History Month celebrations. Naturally MPX provided the stellar 2 hours before which you're listening to.

MPX is also the next artist to be releasing on Ape-X Records with a 3 track EP called Mainframe, coming later this month!
