DJ Masda - Live At Dimensions 2021

We're delighted to share this week's podcast from Sugar Free, a DJ many attendees of Dimensions over the last few years will be familiar with, and rightly so, she's been quickly rising through the ranks as one of the scene's most sought after selectors, and it's clear to see why ✨

Sit back and enjoy this beautifully crafted mix; 70 minutes of exquisite records and tight mixing skills. Thank you Ale, this one’s a real treat.

'If you know you know' - a great description for the man behind our next mix, as well as the name for the label he runs.

We first met Connor at a South London record store last year, before spying him next to the booth at the infamous Terminus stage of Houghton festival a few days later. After a quick chat, we knew we had to get him on!

LA based Connor Mikami has shared lineups with some of the worlds best, hosting some superb underground parties across the pond. Also a mean producer, be sure to check out his releases.

Dipping between deep groovy sounds, before stepping into some progressive numbers and dubby breakbeat, we are really happy to present this 6th instalment in the series.

Quest is one of those new school selectors who have taken the art of crate digging to an all-new level. Italian-born, Berlin-based but having spent time in London working at the legendary Vinyl Pimp, he has long been mining the depths of everything from UKG to outré techno, Italian hip hop to long-lost house. Importantly, he uses those sounds to tell his own stories, often with an air of mystery and intrigue that plays out like an adventure into the unknown. 

Many mixes follow a traditional arc of increasing energy levels but in this week's podcast, Quest plays with those expectations to build up and then pull back, threading together minimal rhythms then raw and crunchy wave sounds. Twisted electronics lead into celestial acid and the smooth and seductive sits next to the dark and edgy. It's a low-key, low-lit selection that draws from mutant strains of house, techno and electro that are both futurist and dystopian. Quest might be his moniker, but it is also a perfect description of his mission.

Dekmantel Podcast 436 - Quest

Closing set at Organik Festival 2019 in Hualien, Taiwan. Last 1,5 hours was a b2b with Diskonnected. 

Picture this: A slow steep drive down through a narrow jungle path, 
the sound of distant ocean waves, frogs, and insects is all you hear until suddenly the jungle opens up and you've arrived at Organik Festival.

Located on a secluded beach on the Taiwan east coast facing the seemingly infinite Pacific with awesome mountain rocks and jungle kneeling to it. A beast of a brand new model Funktion One sound system tuned to perfection and a rare gathering of the most loving and kind people you can imagine. 

This is the spirit of Organik. Nature, quality, peace, and a big coherent mix of dreamy techno, ambient, experimental, house, and disco. Personally have I never experienced a better festival. Was such a pleasure and honour to close the festival on a late Sunday night playing after Dorisburg. I got around different styles and wanted to play a non linear set and instead take people on a journey. I hope you feel some of the festival vibe in the recording.

The last hour and a half my friend and Smoke Machine Taiwan resident joined me in a b2b showing a rare housy side of his palette.

Surely one of the best DJs in the game of House Music, Gene has not only presented killer mix after killer mix showcasting the immense depth of his collection, he also is a very good producer himself - constantly raising the bar on his very own "Limousine Dream" imprint. 

For 5918mins., Gene slows things down a couple of BPM and leads us through the downtempo side of things, with the same combination of thorough- and playfulness that has become a hallmark of his mixes. We're very happy to have him onboard and will patiently wait in line for track IDs. Enjoy!

Gene on Earth

Love dedicated to basslines.

DJ, producer and co-founder of the More Rice collective, DOTT is building a reputation far beyond his hometown of Bangkok. Well-respected on the SE Asia scene for over a decade, in recent years releases on both vinyl and digital labels in Europe and the US as well as overseas touring have introduced international audiences to his highly modern take on underground dance music.
 
With a DOTT production you’re never quite sure where you’ll end up. Tripping grooves and complex emotion take precedent over genre conventions: deep house may reveal a subtly dark edge, while a minimal cut can unfurl into the brightest of colours. Moods range from warm and analogue to futuristic sci-fi, but the attention given to basslines and groove remains a constant. Behind the decks, DOTT stays true to his musical personality by foregrounding his own unreleased material alongside favourites by other producers. He has translated years of experience on the Bangkok circuit to the international stage, from clubs like Hoppetosse (Berlin), Bret (Amsterdam), Folklor (Lausanne), Tag (Chengdu), Savage (Hanoi), Modeci (Seoul) and his home ground Never Normal (Bangkok) to festivals including Houghton (UK), The Air House (South Korea), Wonderfruit (Thailand) Epizode (Vietnam) and the Montreux Jazz Festival (CH).
 
DOTT is one of the three co-founders of the More Rice collective, who run a vinyl-only label and specialist dance music record store in Bangkok. Their goal is to support upcoming talents in Asia and connect them to international artists around the world.
