DJ Mag On Cue

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]".

Crack Mix 454: Tom Trago

There's nothing like being sent into a trance during a DJ set. Head down, eyes closed, no signs of making any bee line for the toilet or the bar, and suddenly hours have passed... That's the effect Stevie Cox has when she's playing.

Originally hailing from Manchester, Stevie has now found herself settled in Glasgow where she's been making a real impact over the last few years. A regular at Sub Club, one of the UK's most heralded clubs, you'll find her propping up the booth alongside fellow residents Harri & Dom and Telford. Last month she was made an official resident and a permanent fixture at the club's Saturday night party Subculture, and for good reason, Stevie's ability to have the crowd hanging on her every move is second to none.

Moving into production was the natural next step for Stevie. Her first official outing sees her team up with London-based producer Fossil Archive, alongside Kiara Scuro's ZaaZaa, for a four-track EP on Hammer's Remmah imprint, plus we hear there's plenty more collabs and her first solo release on the horizon too... 

As you may have gathered, when it comes to hypnotising listeners this isn't Stevie's first rodeo. Over an effortlessly fluid hour of acid, house, techno and garage she shows us exactly why she's a regular fixture at the revered Glasgow institution...

Stevie Cox: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

As part of RA2122, our ongoing celebration of 21 years of club culture, we'll be featuring some of our favourite DJs from around the world, highlighting the parties or clubs most important to their lives in dance music. First up we have Tama Sumo and Lakuti, both residents at Berlin's Panorama Bar, the house-focused room upstairs at Berghain. Panorama Bar has played host to thousands—if not millions—of people's most formative dance floor experiences, with an unparalleled vibe, near-perfect sound and window blinds that have taken their own place in dance music mythology. 

The duo's mix highlights the style that Tama Sumo and Lakuti have brought to the club and represents its anything-goes energy, mixing tracks from iconoclasts like Hieroglyphic Being (including one of his best-ever tracks) in with old-school favorites from Reel By Real, Larry Heard and even Ministry, moving from house to industrial to disco without batting an eyelid. Tama Sumo and Lakuti's loose but impeccable flow ties together house music history with a deep love and knowledge of all genres and, perhaps most importantly, the desire and know-how to just make people dance. We couldn't be more thrilled to feature Tama Sumo and Lakuti for the first mix in our birthday series, and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

Laani (@alanna-henry) is all about introducing you to music you love but don't yet know it. It’s the Londoner’s exceptional taste in all things jazz and Afro, soul and hip hop which makes that so. She demonstrates it with her regular The FullJoy Experience shows on Worldwide.fm and her work with Strut Records, but this week she heads into a different world of sound. 

House, acid and breaks are the order of the day here with cuts from the likes of Lady Blacktronika, Paula Tape, Soichi Terada and K-Lone all making for a lively selection. There is a classical leaning to start with as lush synth soul permeates the good-time grooves. Celebratory piano chords, peak time house and deeper moments all reflect the sound of a DJ able to play loose, free and with an irresistible sense of fun.

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!

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.

But as April Clare Welsh learns, she’s busier and more energised than she’s ever been. Alongside a  thumping On Cue mix of pure dancefloor energy, she shares her story

@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
