DJ Mixes

One for the weekend: a rare live recording of me in Prague at the great https://soundcloud.com/ankali club, where I was invited to play by https://soundcloud.com/mikeh and https://soundcloud.com/trancekafka at their fantastic San Trancisco night. It was a blast and I can't wait to go back!

Live in San Trancisco recorded @ Ankali, Prague 06/05/2022

Alex Albrecht ( @melquiadesmusic ) is a local Naarm/ Melbourne based DJ/producer & label boss, running the charming, ethereal local imprint Analogue Attic ( @analogueattic ) alongside @sean_labrooy, which showcases the gentle side of music down under. 

Between running his label, dj'ing, and solo releases under "Alex Albrecht presents Melquiades", Alex is also known for his productions alongside his co-label head, Sean La Brooy, under Albrecht La'brooy ( @albrecht-labrooy ). The musical duo have an impressive slew of releases which combine elements of electronic and classical/ jazz influenced music, with a beautiful result. The two have also run various events in Melbourne across the last decade. 

Alex showcases his solo project in his mix here, with a bunch of his own productions embedding the mix. 

Thanks for the beautiful mix Alex!

Rooftop StunMix 05 ~ Pjenne | Millú | Katie Pearson

During summer lockdown 2021, it was forbidden to have dancing at parties. And so when exemplary north-east London record shop Hidden Sounds asked me to DJ at a sitting-down event, it seemed like the perfect workaround, and a wonderful excuse to explore some deep corners of my record collection. 
Think blankets, incense, rugs, chess, cushions, fungi, tea and 50 people laying around in a cosy space for a psychedelic, horizontal, evening listening session - pure bliss!
Here is the whole thing.

Shroom Sessions at Hidden Sounds August 6 2021

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Music is an anchor in life, useable in any if not every scenario to shift or change your current mood. It's something that you have complete control of (unless you’re in someone else’s car), this control, I find is somewhat taken for granted every now and then and I think in this strange time of our lives it's very important to take control of what you can. Speaking of control, it's something our next guest has mastered, A Naarm favourite Bex. 

Hard work, dedication, and a belief in one's self are the holy trinity to the path of evolution, All of these factors Bex has mastered. Through years and years of commitment to her craft, Bex has steeled herself amongst her peers and their dance floors, forever increasing her orbit and her listeners inside of it. Encompassing the pure aesthetics of Dj’ing (an understanding of rhythm and how people react to it), she has cemented herself as a staple DJ all across Naarm as well pushing the same ethos with her own party series “Spincycle” (HOT TIP!!). She’s here to stay and it fills me with confidence for the future. 

The mix itself beautifully encompasses the very thing I’ve set out to explore, the other side. For someone who is consistently filling dance floors, you can tell Bex has done herself justice in reaching into her musical peripherals and wholeheartedly enjoyed doing it. Ecstatic trips into euphoria electronica, A consistent theme explored in its whole, done masterfully. Computer-generated soul at its finest, using BPM as a narrative tool, she takes us on a trip through her own mind, leaving no stone unturned. After countless play-throughs, I still find little details that excite me, her technical skills on full display for the world to see. A perfect summary of Bex herself. Enjoy it every way you can. 

Her words >>>> "when I was making the mix I was kind of thinking it was like a bit of a love story. It has lots of songs that have been prominent in my past relationships and lots of songs about love and with love in the title. It’s a bit of a story of the history of love (and heartbreak)"

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

The stupid season approaches with much haste, Bublè is being defrosted as we speak, Mariah is on her way back to earth, the turkeys are scared and Santa is shitting himself. Don’t forget the good that comes with all of it, I.e time off work, being too full for days on end, and that first dip in a cold body of water on a hot day. Amongst all the chaos, it's very important to take some time to completely wind down and zone out. To help with such a thing we’re going to let Acid Chess Club aka Benji aka the mayor of Melbourne take the wheel and drive for the next 5 hours (no destination required). 

You ever meet someone and just be like “damn, this cat knows what’s up!” Well, that’s how I felt when I met Benji, and I'm certain I'm not alone. If/when some extraterrestrial beings finally come to this god-forsaken planet, I'm gonna vote to put Benji forward to be the first contact and show em around town. I reckon they’re not too far away after hearing this mix… A smile that’s better than a hug, and a hug that’s better than a tray of perfectly roasted potatoes. Music is his game, in all forms, and he knows it inside and out; Responsible for all types of conceptual avenues to enjoy music, including various jaunts into the hosting realm under the umbrella of Crate Mates, Chewin The Fat, and Tesselate, all whilst having a firm grip on the DJ’ing thing and playing in the band San Of The Rambutan (TIP!) A man of much know-how and he’s only getting started. 

Hmmmmmm, damn, where to start? It’d probably be quicker to go through the bases that aren’t covered in this masterpiece, but I won’t. This is a big mountain to climb, but a stunning one at that. The scenery, the serenity, the flora and the fauna are all beautifully captured. Completely chock full of picturesque backdrops and stunning saturations, it reminds me of an album of photo highlights from the best trip you’ve ever had, a soundtracked slide show if you will. Every picture is worth a thousand notes, each one adding to the overarching narrative. Benji has done this series justice tenfold, in doing so making me even prouder to present such a thing. So without further adieu, chuck on your Solomons, fill up your butter sessions water bottle, and go conquer this beast. 

With love. X

Curva Imposible II

Curva Imposible II ~ Alicia Carrera & André Pahl live at Mystic Room 01.02.2020

We are delighted to share with you a fresh episode of our mix series, this time with Alicia Carrera. 

Originally from Galicia based in Barcelona and with a long stint in Berlin behind her, Alicia Carrera is a woman of multiple talents: graphic designer, a photographer and, of course, a DJ of some reputation, thanks to her comprehensive knowledge of dance music and unique taste when mixing and recording sessions. Her musical obsessions run to genres such as new wave, psychedelia, experimental electronics, and darkwave; sonic passions that led her to find the fanzine Zauberstab, dedicated to making unusual and hidden music known.

In this episode, you can enjoy Alicia's always present signature in the selection of slow melodies, cosmic sounds, percussive rhythms and house, trance and new beat influences, always with the ambitious and praiseworthy objective of taking the audience to a new and unknown place.

Knekelhuis # 61 - Alicia Carrera

@aliciacarrera has been quietly working away in the underground for a number of years. She is Barcelona based after a spell in Berlin, and is a multi-disciplinary talent who works as a graphic artist, photographer and editorial designer all while managing the cult Hivern Discs label and (in other times) spinning weird and wonderful DJ sets all round Europe. She has a penchant for sounds that come from opposite ends of the spectrum - colourful and psychedelic, dark and experimental, slow and cosmic or more hard and techno - and hearing her join these up is always a thing to behold, as are her radio shows for the likes of NTS Radio amongst others.

This week, no doubt mindful of the fact many of us are spending most of our time at home, she takes on a far-flung journey through mid tempo grooves and cinematic sounds. It's a mind-expanding trip that opens with worldly ambiance and takes you through a number of wide open spaces littered with sombre trumpets, gently tumbling jazz drums and cosmic drones. It's pensive and absorbing as it slowly shifts through the gears, and is a perfect catalyst for escapism.
