A spark of light erupting from a naked, crouched body adorns the cover of Sodomy, the new EP from Jorkes on their label Freeride Millenium. The image, serious yet playful, seems to represent an outburst of ideas and emotions from a person's inner core, literally. It's the perfect metaphor for Jorkes, whose palette of rugged house music, slick disco, '80s synth-pop and booming acid always feels unapologetically earnest.

Their sonic identity, built around their queerness and self-described empathetic nature, is both cheeky and deeply thoughtful, washing listeners over with feelings of love and human connection (and lots of catchy vocal hooks). Anyone who's attended their resident nights at Stuttgart club Romantica or listened to their shows on Munich's Radio 80000 can attest to Jorkes' sense of unbridled enthusiasm, sweetness and passion for their queer community.

All of that is tangible on their RA mix, a lively and poignant journey through exuberant house and emotive nu disco with plenty of classics like Club 69's "Let Me Be Your Underwear" thrown in for pure, feel-good energy.

Fantastic Man live from The Beach Stage at Love International 2023.

Live from the Adriatic 2023: Fantastic Man

Lezure is a collective from Glasgow which has since risen to prominence in numerous cities. Energetic, fun filled parties with a focus on spotlighting both local and international DJ’s to great effect.

Over the years they have booked and supported a steady stream of artists who have since gone on to do great things. Lezure as a collective are very much tastemakers in their own right.

From a musical perspective the sounds that they have pushed are pretty broad – however it has never necessarily been about hype and the importance of each guest and their approach to DJ’ing remains pivotal in making the party what it is.

Calum, aka Sloan, is one of the key figures behind the long running party series and brings with him a reputable array of knowledge across a broad spectrum of Electronic music.

When we saw the tracklist for this one we were pretty stoked as we feel it represents both the proper thinking sensibilities of the Lezure crew as much as it does the party orientated gang they are known for.

https://soundcloud.com/sixsixsixties co-runs traveling queer safe space SPEK covering the walls of sleazy basements, Turkish wedding venues and crummy nightclubs with festive fluids and plays parties as one third of dj-collective Snoephut. He holds a monthly residency on Kiosk Radio and has been touching ground in Berlin, London, Kopenhagen or anywhere a crowd of free spirited dancers is awaiting his dubby grooves, balearic excursions and joyous house beats.

About his favorite track: “there's an old Samantha Fox remix which I've been obsessing over for years but never found a good spot for until now. It's uplifting and fun and the melody gives me goose bumps every time I hear it."

After a busy few weeks having plenty of festival fun, our podcast is back and rolling with self-certified 'rave mom' Partok next up. He's played standout sets at Glastonbury and Panorama Bar this summer and still regularly returns home to Israel to play all-night-long sets. It is there, as a resident at the Tel Aviv club The Block that he first made an impression many years ago. Since then his endless explorations of all forms of techno have earned him an international following. 

Partok brings his own distinctive party sound to our series this week with an electrifying mix of peak-time fun. He packs plenty in, too, dextrously switching up the mood as he weaves through evocative and emotional sounds that aren't afraid of a tender melody or soulful vocal, but are always powered by crisp drums. From banging grooves and brain-frying synth textures to psychedelic loops and hands-in-the-air piano chords, it's a high-definition, big-hearted selection that leaves you feeling good.
