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.

Cosmic Simmering is a very personal new album of unreleased material from Chris Gray on Saft. The 13 track album has been composed of previously lost archives, restored DAT tapes and old CDs and it plots the musical evolution of one of house music's most underrated artists.

Gray has been producing since the mid-nineties, and in that time has crafted some seminal moments in deep house. He's landed on a range of labels, but most often Saft or his own Deep4Life. He has put out seven superb long players that explore a rich palette of moods and grooves, and this latest is another adventurous collection that travels far and wide into rhythm and sound. 

Work on this album started in March 2020 when Chris started digging around in his archives. Some of what he found was sketched in the late 80s, while other tracks were written a few months after Chris moved to Chicago and was living in his uncle's south side attic in early 1993. There are also some cuts from 1995 onwards which have been salvaged from deteriorating DAT tapes after a friend of Chris fixed his player. There is also a selection of early 2000s deep4life material taken from 20-year-old backups on cheap CDs, all brought back to life for this record.

Cosmic Simmering is a beautifully widescreen album that works equally on mind, body and spirit.

MUSIC IN MY CAR ...mix

Even though a cursory glance at the reams of pages available on the interweb won’t give you much to go on when it comes to the story of London based DJ and producer, Jonny Rock; there's plenty of music out there to demonstrate that he's well versed in the world of disco-skewed and decidedly underground house music. He's also part of the imperative Freaks project with Luke Solomon and has independently released music on Wolf + Lamb, Playhouse and Music for Freaks among other top imprints. He’s also set to join Prosumer in Room Three on the 20th December to launch his fabric 79 album. 

To hear a bit more about what he's going to bring to the party in a couple of weeks’ time we invited the kind of mysterious producer to put together a mix to give us a taste of what we can expect from his set and if these 63 minutes are anything to go by he'll be bringing a whole load of soul, quirk and vibe to the floor.
