There's an old-school touch to ISAbella's sound. Breakbeats, rolling tech house, progressive house and trance pepper both her studio mixes and her debut EP, transporting listeners to a place of peak '90s indulgence. It's no wonder, then, that vintage rave sounds are a signature tenet of MARICAS, the club night and label that she helped start in 2018.

Her love for the '90s is tangible on her RA Podcast, an emotional journey across breakbeat house, trancey techno and funky electro. First-rate throwbacks such as Canyon's "Move" and "Lightspan Soundwave" by The Shamen exude a carefree euphoria, while heavier cuts like Desert's "Moods (Club Mix)'' intensify the feeling of rapture. Even the contemporary releases, like Bashkka's excellent "C-quence Of Calamities," feel rooted in nostalgia.

MARICAS mixes are usually energetic from the get-go, but ISAbella starts out nice and relaxed this time around. The mix's most striking element is how personal each track feels—a reflection of her intimate relationship with these records. Each one evokes a special poignancy and though these ephemeral selections were largely improvised, ISAbella believes they "show what's going on lately and what's going on forever."

The Iranian born & London based powerhouse Kasra V steps up next for the Phonica mix series.
With a heap of solid releases out in the last while from labels like Byron Yeates' Radiant Love imprint and Sepehr's Shaytoon Records - Kasra V's production styles reaching the realms of breaks and techy club numbers have been forward thinking and truly head turning. As a DJ he has earned the respect of some of the biggest names in the industry, played in some of the biggest clubs in Europe like Panorama Bar and Fabric as well as recently marked his 10 year residency on NTS radio. With a new label "V-SION" and its first release focusing on his tenure at the long running radio institution in London things are only moving further in the upwards trajectory for the artist.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
The lesson I keep learning over and over, is to be patient and stay true to what excites and inspires you.  That is your North Star, and all that matters.  Also, there are no shortcuts!  Rushing the process, comparing yourself to others or expecting to keep a certain timeline will only dull your unique sparkle.

About the mix: This mix is actually the first 2 hours taken from a 3 hour set I played at Sisyphos in mid June.  My set time was 5-8am, and I was extra revv'd as I love nothing more than a wake and rave.  The sun was rising, and I think this new morning light holds so much hope and excitement for the new day ahead.  Plus, I love the cozy Sisyphos cafe, having a hot tea while playing might just be my favorite way to approach a set.  As for sounds, the tracks fit my mood ~ fast, cruisey, not too heavy for the early morning.  Plus few ID's and friends in the mix!

LUCA LOZANO of Klasse Wrecks fame, also known as planetluke.com, is now on DREAMING MIX. 
On the weekend incl. 31 August 2024, typhoon No.10 had been hitting Japan, and almost all the transportations between Tokyo and Osaka seemed to be stopped on that day. However, and surprisingly, he made it. This live recorded at Compufunk Osaka, under such circumstances, sounds like a swirl of acid, bleep house far more potent than that typhoon, and a climate changer on the floor. 
Typhoon could not stop him.
