For years now, an old recording of Jeffrey Sfire at Cocktail D'Amore's one and only cosmic hole was one of the highest references for us in terms of downtempo Italo sleaze - an almost 6 hours recording serving more like a PhD aural dissertation specialized in some of the most remarkable dancefloor digs (mainly Europe) had to offer in the 80s at under 115BPM. To be able to share it publicly on the HAND Mix Series as we reach number 50 is a huge honor and we're greatly thankful to Giacomo and Giovanni, the two cuties behind Discodromo that made this possible. We hope you can appreciate it as much as we have over these past years. Here it is HAND #50 featuring the unique sleazy wizardry of Jeffrey Sfire captured in a special moment in time during the moist and lubricated atmospheres of Cocktail, now online - listen carefully! Big thanks to Jeffrey for all the amazing research and excellence in cosmic Jockeymanship ❤️❤️❤️

H.A.N.D. MIX 050 Jeffrey Sfire

The Bristol city stalwart shows us how he does it with an extended session that moves through galaxial techno grooves, retro trance cuts and Villalobos-esque, scatty minimal, before building gradually to peak time floor shakers.

Jane Fitz took the stage twice with a B2B set this at rural 2024, and she appeared on the final day with her musical partner Jade Seatle, who co-hosts the DIY party “Night Moves” in their home, London. The final day started out rainy, but ended up with sunny skies. This set was deeply connected with such a dramatic ending. Enjoy this euphoric collection of left-field tech house gems.

2024年は、二度にわたるB2Bセットでの登壇となったJane Fitzが、最終日のクロージングを共にしたのは、彼女の本拠地であるロンドンで共にDIYパーティ〈NIGHT MOVES〉を主催する相方のJade Seatleでした。雨模様で幕を開け、最後には陽光差し込む晴天にまで辿りついたドラマチックな終幕と深く結びついた展開。多幸感溢れる珠玉のレフトフィールド・テックハウスコレクションを堪能ください。

Xiaolin's exclusive live mix for RDC 2025 podcast:

The reason I love to do live set is that it’s a completely different approach from DJing - while DJ focuses on adapting to the crowd and the room, liveset is a raw expression from the heart, music that was created in the comfort of home and studio - kind of feels like: “this is all I’ve got, love it or leave it.”  My livesets normally focus on 3 different kinds of energy:  Sun energy, Moon energy and Body (Earth) energy.  This 1-hour liveset was originally designed for Sound Metaphors’ 9-year Anniversary at Panorama Bar, drawing from Sun energy - it is driven by joy, romance, warmth and a shared feeling of “things are gonna be okay… we have each other, let’s go on a fun journey together”.  I used Juno60, Korg Minilogue for sequences, Linn Drum & 909 samples, RD-05 for live melodies and pads, plus Ableton Push, midi keyboard, electric violin and vocal.  There are a few alternate (live set only) versions of released materials, and a few unreleased collab materials, as well as of course the “Moods Of Love” Canto series released on Bless You.  The first Cantonese vocal track in the liveset will be the third vinyl release coming end of this month (BLESSYOU029).  It is a cover version of Tina Lau’s “Half A Dream/半個夢” from 1987, but completely redone from scratch with a different take and original vocal.  There will be a few different versions including a club version and Mogwaa’s Latin-style remix.  I hope you enjoy it!

"One Note" (UnbrokenOne Remix)

Glenn Underground needs little introduction. Raised on disco classics and freeform jazz on Chicago’s southside and taking cues from deep house pioneers Larry Heard, Ron Hardy and Lil’ Louis, Glenn Underground has built a formidable catalogue of soulful, deep house records for labels such as Casual, Prescription, Peacefrog and his own Strictly Jaz Unit. He turns in a deeply musical rework of Nobody Like U — the Dancer’s Cielo mix — that steadily evolves over its six minute runtime. It takes several harmonic twists and turns, showcasing both Glenn’s skill as a keyboard and bass player and his ear for Mizell-inspired arrangements.
