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.

Lea Lisa presents "No Boundaries" #5 (Saturday Deep Service) Universal Rhythms radio

The next label to feature in the SB guest mix series requires little to no introduction. Minted 25 years ago by high school friends, Jamie 'Jimpster' Odell and Tom Roberts, and having amassed a mighty 412 releases (listed on discogs anyway) we welcome Freerange Records to the fold. 

With a discography as deep as the music therein, Freerange member, Conrad Lee has elected to "dig through the lesser explored corners of the back-catalogue, picking out tracks that still feel relevant today and pairing them with some, but not all, of my favourite releases from my time from starting as an intern up until now. So expect tracks from Jimpster, Shur-i-kan, Crackazat, Ewan Jansen and Ron Trent among others."

Kai Alce LIVE at Subdivision Toronto 12/03/22

Cacophony is by definition a collision of multiple sounds in discordance. Sounds that shouldn't go together basically. Bogotá, Colombia’s Felipe Gordon does this, but in euphony(bringing pleasure to ones ear)! Spreading himself blissfully across jazzy, disco, funky and soulful elements he pours this concoction into his cluby productions and sets which has now given him international recognition. Having put out forty plus 12" releases and an album since 2014, including his brilliant "Timeless EP" on our Karakul subsidiary, he has found himself on labels like Shall Not Fade, Razor'N'Tape, Toytonics and some of the most long standing greats more recently like Nervous records. For Phonica mix 104 Felipe walks us through what for him brings musicality into electronic music, what live elements bring humanity into our dance floors. We have a quick chat about more on this subject below and see what else the Colombian artist has up his sleeve.
