Drone Time Podcast #032 | DJ Aakmael

For the next installment of our podcast series, we are more than pleased to welcome DJ Aakmael, who delivers on a one-hour mix filled of raw and deep house of the purist variety as per usual.

DJ Aakmael (aka Greg Stewart) is definitely not an ordinary deep house DJ/producer. The Richmond (VA) based artist is an absolute legend and storied DJ/producer who has got started behind the decks at the tender age of 16 doing parties, school jams, weddings, house parties, etc., playing everything from hip hop to r'n'b, house, classical, jazz, reggae and opera, and has been releasing records since the early 2000's (when all of the DJ magazines, radio and A-list DJs only paid attention to progressive, big-room, tribal house...), devoting his life to producing and curating some of the best house music the world has to offer and keeping the deep, soulful and raw house sound pure.

Whether it be educating the ears of countless listeners throughout his 20 years stint on WDCE 90.1 FM or representing the sound of Virginia on international labels, the American musician has done his part in keeping the fire of house music alive in the States.

Roughly 15 years into his craft and responsible for releasing heater and heater over the last decade for respected dance labels such as Second Hand Records, Nite Grooves, People of Heart, Uzuri, Scissor and Thread, Church, Freerange Records, Axe On Wax, Release Sustain, Kolour LTD, Hizou, Monologues Records, Dogmatik Records, Flumo/ANMA, as well as his own imprint UnXpozd Entertainment, DJ Aakmael is slowly, steadily making his mark on the lexicon of house and it seems like he is somehow only getting started and a bright future awaits him.

Aak has graced the dance floors of About Blank (Berlin), Fáklya Klub (Budapest), Good Room (NY), Bossa Nova Civic Club (NY), Output (NY), TBA (NY), MotorCity Wine (Detroit) and many more, and played alongside Frances Harris, DJ Spinna, DJ Sprinkles, Patrice Scott and Kai Alcé, just to name a few.

Enjoy this mix he exclusively delivered for us. A perfect blend of hard-hitting deep house instrumentals as well as smooth vocal tracks. We have a feeling this mix could just soundtrack the rest of your summer.

Drone Time Podcast #033 | Amaré

Amaré brings an immense amount of benevolence into everything he does. Known to his immediate circle as a modern-day Marco Polo, he unites his cultural upbringing deliberately into his sets as a DJ.

Born in Trinidad & Tobago and raised there until his family departed the small island for the busy city of Hong Kong, he was able to grow in a culture that thrives on dance music (soca, dancehall, disco). His move to Hong Kong as a teen exposed his eyes and ears to various international sounds, via record shops, thus establishing a passion point for deep house.

As the owner and A&R of his strictly vinyl imprint, Sole Aspect, Amaré will fuse his appreciation for quality sound into each release on the label and showcase his admiration and respect for the artists featured. Sole Aspect is an artist first and forward-looking label, where evolved aspects vibrate at a purer, more loving frequency and assists you as a guide on your current sole journey.

With more than a decade of record collecting, Amaré invites you to join his musical journey. Just under 2 hours with his latest mix, featuring cuts from some of his favorite labels such as People of Earth, Neroli, Balance, NDATL, Sistrum, Moods & Grooves, In Dust We Trust, Wave Music and Deep Explorer to name a few. Deep soul exclusively packed for us.

Drone Time Podcast #035 | Morgan

Originally hailing from Australia, Morgan's beginnings saw her experiment with hip hop, soul and disco. However, Morgan found her true calling in electronic and house music, listing in 2017 in Mixmag's 20 Artists rising from the underground and we definitely agree.
Nowadays she's a NYC based fresh talent, artist, producer and DJ known for releases on labels such as Budare, Sunday Money Music, Guy From Downstairs' GFD,  Loco Dice's Desolat imprint and for her collaborations with Guti on The Martinez Brothers' Cuttin' Headz. The latter, including a Dan Ghenacia and Chris Carrier remix, are expertly crafted tunes that vary from dancefloor focused tracks to more soulful and downtempo productions.

Beyond that, she's also one of the driving forces behind the infamous Golden Record NYC party series.

From the material she's supplied thus far, it's clear she has plenty of versatility to share.

Enjoy this 2-hour mix live recorded last August in Giovinazzo (Italy) for the last ENZIMI's night of the season.

Mu Gen | Techno Electro EBM | Tilt Shift Tuesday 26th Mar 2024

With a never waining passion for exploration and evolution within his relationship to music, Brett has been fortunate to experience a successful, varied, and full career within the industry over the past twenty-five years. With experience in film score work, live performance, and university music teaching, Brett finds musical fulfillment through collaboration, education, and sonic exploration. Since early beginnings, Brett's music has recently evolved into the more experimental and ambient. Exploring creativity through technical synthesis techniques melded with field recordings, tape manipulation, and meaningful intentions. With a keen eye for detailed and lush sonic landscapes, Brett has found evolving inspiration within the experimentation and practice of obscure sound design, and synthesis techniques involving filter pinging and modular systems.

Tilt Shift is an Event Brand Managed and Curated by Melbourne Artist @the-stockholm-syndrome

Tilt Shift sits firmly left of center, a difficult-to-label square peg that unintentionally fails to fit a pigeonhole. Borrowing from the photography term, Tilt Shift refers to two different types of movement, a selective focus with a large depth of field used to control perception. This can be applied to our music policy, tilting the vertical axis resulting in a sharp area of focus without reducing the depth of field. The selective focus that can be achieved by both tilting and shifting movements, It's compelling because the effect is different from that which you may have become accustomed to. This movement is often used to avoid the convergence of parallel lines, or as we have come to think of it, it’s where the lines blur.

Mu-Gen | Techno Electro EBM | Tilt Shift Tuesday 26th Mar 2024

Let'z roll back to tha yr of 1986'. I was 1 yr fresh in2 Chicago House & Detroit Techno but could NOT let go of my most passionate sound by my favortite Industrial Music group, Ministry. I was blessed 2 hear/see them live on this tour on their Orlando stop @ Electric Ave.
My cousin & myself had front row & my sister Angie was chilling with the group back stage.
This was a concert that still inspires me whenever I hear or play any of their tracks on this album. Also from Chicago, I would like 2 see a street named after founder of Ministry & frontman, Al Jourgensen. Most def one of Chicago'z electronic music pioneers.
In any case, if you're a hardcore industrial head like myself, then you can RELATE!!!

We-out!!!

Drone Time Podcast #021 | Jovonn

A native of Brooklyn and current resident of Queens (New York), Jovonn has been active in the music scene since the age of 10. Supported by his mother, a keyboard player, and father, a guitar/bass player, who were aspiring R&B singers, he was nurtured with a solid musical foundation.
Jovonn began his career as a hip-hop DJ at the age of 14 and started spinning records at those infamous New York block parties of the 80’s where he was introduced to the growing New York House music scene, hanging out in seminal Brooklyn clubs such as Sapphires, Club Saturn, Club Serene and years later in clubs such as The Loft, The Choice, Snobbusters and Zanzibar.

New York, early 90's, the haydays of the New York and Jersey clubhouse!
With labels such as NuGroove, Nervous, Freeze, Strictly Rhythm, Henry Street Music taking all the spot light, there is Jovonn working on a small but sensational catalogue of music that somehow gets overshadowed by the popular releases on the mentioned labels. The honest productions, jazzy melodies and playful vocals (rooted in gospel) were taking things into a more musical, more spiritual way, lacking gimmicks or dispensable samples. For the real diggers, the true lovers of house music Jovonn always was a name to watch, a producer of some of their favorite NY house tracks, tracks that have a raw edge combined with a sincere human touch and pure underground house vibes.

It was in 1991 when Jovonn exploded onto the house scene with his second release, “Turn and Runaway” on Warner Bros. Records, (which reached number 10 on the Billboard chart and catapulted Jovonn on to the global scene).
Then Jovonn set up his first record label, Goldtone Records, via Emotive Records and since then has produced more than 500 records in the house, R&B, hip-hop and neo soul genres, not to mention film scores and soundtracks although his true love has always been House music. 
Now after more than 25 years since his first release the man's small discography on his own Goldtone label and Emotive records stand out with his unique musical personality.

After the Goldtone experience, Jovonn started his new musical adventure with NextMoov Records and NextMoov Traxx, dedicated to releasing the hottest deep and raw underground house tracks from Jovonn and his crew of producers, such as Rex resident DJ Deep, who was a huge fan oh him and also collaborated on couple later productions with Jovonn.

A pioneer of the NYC, New Jersey, 90’s house sound, he’s produced tracks such as "Old Man Groan", "Jurassic House", "Circle Dance", "He’s More" (ft. Carolyn Harding), "Djoon" (on UK Basic), "Praise" (on West End Records), "Dont Waste Your Time" (ft. Stephanie Cook), "The Spirit" album (on Track Mode), the "Blaque House" album on Code Red as well as many famous underground classics such as "Back In the Dark", "Garage Shelter", "I Can't Make Up My Mind", "I Wanna Go To A Club", that all contain Jovonn's distinctive vocal delivery and trademark production with his gritty sounds, hard kicks, jazzy chords and phat basslines.

Slowly he started getting recognition from Europe which resulted in a handfull of records on European labels such as Distance, Coco Soul and Estereo.

After releases on other labels such as Apollonia, Dennis Ferrer’s Objektivity, Dogmatik, Deeply Rooted House and Defected Records, in 2016 Jovonn launched his new label venture Body ‘N Deep via clone distribution, where, at the end of 2018, released the album "Timeless", his first since "Blaque House" released on Code Red back in 2009. The album focusses on the deeper side of house and Jovonn's trademark New Jersey house sound, with contributions by Patrick Mangan (violin) on “Hesperia Soul” and Cassioware on “Turnin Me Out”.

So pleased to welcome this legend to the Drone Time podcast series. Enjoy over 60 minutes of solid house grooves. Press play and pump up the volume on the deep sound of Jovonn.
