Portishead tribute w/ OTON @ GIMIC - 24 May 2025

I had the enormous pleasure of playing for a very long time on a four-point Pitt & Giblin sound system in Hobart, Australia recently. Wish you were there.

all night long

Haruka x Craig Gonzalez opened the Dance Room at I.T. presents The Bunker, May 26, 2025, Day 3 of Return to the Source, at Tangent, Detroit.

Craig Gonzalez – @craig-gonzalez:

It's one thing to hop on the decks with someone during peak time at a party in a packed room like the first time Haruka and I played together in NYC but it's another to open a party during the last leg of RTTS weekend. So we started talking about the set a couple of months beforehand, but nothing really prepares you until you're in the middle of RTTS weekend itself. We were texting and chatting about the setup and direction throughout the weekend and eventually landed on keeping things a little funky and fun.  Playing with someone with a similar approach to DJing and also range really made the set feel so effortless for me and I feel that cohesion and the fun we had translated quite well to those that were in attendance.


Haruka – @haruka_ptc:

2023, Good Room (Brooklyn)
We were both booked to play a Bunker party that night and with an hour left before our room was about to shut down, I asked Craig to jump on for an unplanned B2B.  Craig had already set the room up with a deep, super-diverse selection and then vibe in our room was so good, I will never forgot it. So when IT asked us to do it again we got hyped.

RTTS, Detroit
Our slot opened the last day of the three-day marathon, and other parties were running in the daytime too, so it felt like one long 72-hour session. Craig also played Movement. It was my first time in Detroit, so I wandered around, popped into a bunch of events, but spent every night back at Tangent Gallery with Craig—talking, listening to other artists, and getting a real feel for the room. That helped us lock in the vibe and refine the ideas we’d been tossing around for months.

The set
Two words kept coming up: funky and fun (maybe sexy too). I played only a few recent tracks but most were older finds with some electro slipped in naturally. In hindsight the whole thing was a back-and-forth between electro and deep, psychedelic techno, with extra flavours layered on top.

Delta Funktionen's set recorded live on Saturday, 20th of September 2025 at BOSC - A short story by Paral·lel in Gualba, Spain.

Delta Funktionen @ BOSC 2025

Brace yourselves for a breakneck ride this month as our longtime friends and distributor Clone hijack RYC frequencies with a massive takeover for the whole month of October. Breaking this four-part installment in, Amsterdam’s Afra cuts in with two-hours of old-school Detroit electro vibrations, hi-velocity breaks and future-facing floor narratives beckoning us onto a whole distinct dimension entirely. All in finessed vortical dynamics and rapid-fire bass deluge, the Dutch DJ pulls out an absolute charge of a chiseled and finely-curated mix, locked-and-loaded on having ravers lose their mind to this effervescing fusion of frantic sci-fi-like atmosphere and proper nuclear propulsion. Buckle your belt.

The music you may listen just now is recorded and mixed by @oliviapaula - you doing right so, as it is a very well spent hour + a half and IMO the Noosa Heads - Mushroom track alone to start with is a very fine move.

Dust is such a simple thing, and even though when you think about what dust really is, it's kind of gross, it's still very easy to remove. How often you do this process depends on your home and the location of your speakers.
