DJ Mag On Cue

Youngsta is one of dubstep’s most foundational figures, an integral force in shaping the genre from its earliest days at iconic club night FWD>>. A specialist through and through, he’s stayed true to the sound throughout its evolution, pushing the original minimalist style that’s now seeing a resurgence in interest.

Alongside his On Cue mix of stripped-back dubstep “ammunition”, he speaks to DJ Mag’s Rob McCallum about how the sound came to be, the vital impact of his sister, Sarah, his struggles with addiction, and his hopes for the future.

With his @shaytoonrecords label, @sepehr-a has built a platform for underground techno and electronic music from the Iranian diaspora. But the versatile New York-based producer and DJ fights oversimplified categorisations and pigeonholing at every turn, extracting as much influence from obscure ‘90s rave records as much as Persian mythology

Alongside a 90-minute On Cue mix demonstrating this sound, he tells Marke Bieschke about his Flower Storm project with Kasra V, the influence of Silent Servant, and his grunge-influenced new band.

For three decades, @yensung has been at the beating heart of Lisbon’s club scene. As a longstanding resident at Lux and its downtown predecessor Frágil, and as a producer of timeless house tracks, she’s rightly earned her legendary status in Portuguese dance music.

@ms-marcia is into her fourth decade behind the decks and has seen many trends come and go in that time. Throughout, she’s stuck with what truly moves her: an assortment of Black music from jazz, funk and boogie to gospel house, broken beat and beyond. She’s thought about giving up DJing on more than one occasion, but — driven by passion and faith — is now enjoying a well-deserved moment in the sun. Alongside an uplifting On Cue mix, she tells Ria Hylton her story

UK scene heavyweight @alwootton serving up a 100% vinyl blend for the mix series.

Revered for a dub-centric sound oscillating between breaks, UKG, techno and more, the producer FKA Deadboy has earned a reputation for oddball abstraction and dancefloor heaters alike. Borderless, dubbed-out pressure for the heads.

Collaborating with Murlo or cult avant-gardists Susumu Mukai and Valentina Magaletti to solo outings on Livity Sound, ZamZam and his own Trule label, there’s a Midas touch to all his endeavours and this mix is no exception.

Oranj Wine #38 Al Wootton
