Fair play fellas. Ive bought a hat shop and arrnaged for it to be tipped at a suitably respectful angle! What a ride. An absolute masterclass. Endless smiles to you both

Definitely the best set I've heard in a mighty long time, hard to get better than this...thanks guys ;)

Would Listen Again

As a big thanks to everyone that came down to plastic people for the first "You're A Melody" we decided to post up the recording from the night. And for everyone that couldn't make it down, there's a plan to do it again ;)
Big thanks to Red Greg, Jeremy, all the amazing dancers and the EMTs for behaving themselves.

You're A Melody #1

Kerrie started a label called Dark Machine Funk, a name which hints toward the kind of music she plays. And while the Irish artist might be a capital-T techno DJ, her idea of "dark" is a little different than the black-clad legions of her generation. You won't find whiplash-inducing BPMs or racy pop edits in her sets. Her idea of techno is more classicist, without veering towards the stuffy or the retro. Her DJIng and her productions bridge the divide between Euro and  American styles. Hints of breakbeat or other broken patterns bring in ideas from the UK techno that she loves so much, such as the pivotal label Blueprint, where she's become a regular  as of late.

With her, the devil's in the details (listen to those deliciously twisted hi-hats in recent track "Transient Belief"), and that comes down to mixing records, too. Her RA Podcast is a fast but measured run-through of 90 minutes of techno by artists like Exium and Tensal and from labels such as Token and Soma. Though none of her own tunes make the tracklist, this mix perfectly captures Kerrie's style. She's someone who appreciates that the real power and force of techno comes from its groove, not just the impact of the kick drum or pure speed.

We are thrilled to have the legend Ben Sims on episode 100 with a very special 4h mix! Over the past 25 odd years he has released countless bangers and founded the labels Theory, Hardgroove, Machine, Ingoma and Symbolism. He is one of techno’s most exciting talents - a DJ who has stayed true to the genre’s funk. Enjoy!

Recognise 081: Wata Igarashi

Our new SPND20 Mixtape comes from none other than the mighty @official-mr-g. 📼

If you know, you know: Mr. G is one of dance music’s true originals. From the early days in the legendary KCC crew and his influential work as half of The Advent, to decades of solo output under his own name, Colin McBean has never strayed from his roots. With releases on Rekids, Moods ‘n’ Grooves, Defected, and his own long-running Phoenix G imprint, his raw, bass-heavy electronic-tech-funk sound has moved floors and minds all over the world.

Now, for one of his rare mixtape appearances, we’re honored to share this special vinyl-only piece from his archive.

Recorded on two Technics 1210's and a Rane MP2015 mixer and mixed down to CD with added weight, the mix had been sleeping for years until Mr. G pressed play and surprised even himself. It’s meditative, deep, and packed with the personality you only get when the machines are running hot. It captures the raw energy, honesty, and unmistakable feel that only Mr. G can deliver: just pure groove, and even a cheeky cable cut halfway through that adds to the charm.

It’s not often he shares this side, so we’re grateful he let us dig it out. For us, it’s a perfect snapshot of where he comes from and what he still brings to the table today. A true original.

So you better put on those headphones and dive deep into this one!🔊

Me and Ben thought it would be fun to play a long DJ set together at Globus, the upstairs floor at Tresor in Berlin. 
We last played together (as Frequency 7) in May 2013. This time we played a ‘back to back’ DJ set, I’m pretty sure playing 2 tracks each for the whole six and a half hour set. All we had in mind beforehand was to start with some Dub and ‘see where it goes’. 

It was a lot of fun so we wanted to share the recording with you.

A cut of the set from the Unterwegs label party at Tresor in June just gone. Big thanks to Cami & Jack for the invite, massively appreciated, and thanks also to everyone who turned out. I've put it into three parts as I had a few issues with the fx chain and it sounded a bit bonkers listening back

Head Front Panel Live @ Tresor (Unterwegs Records Party) 13th June 2025

Never Sell your Soul by Dub Tropico takes you on a trip in the time machine along with Dub Grandmaster Buguinha outta Brazil. It's a track which has echoes of our late 90's influences like 4hero, a bit of Triphop, and Bristol sounds and Dub with a haunting mantra by Madha. Big Analog Tape Dub Vibe from Buguinha which really pushes the sub bass on your speakers! And some really nice rich layers all mixed down by Juan O Mago at 39D studios here in Rio.

DJ Relic: "Music haunts all artists, it's always playing in the different corners of our minds, and that era musically was a very special one for us. We wanted to evoke some of it but also keep it fresh and engineer it bass heavy with all the modern and analogue studio techniques and equipment that now allow you to push things sonically.
The track's been a while in the making. So many layers when you listen close. I think we made a track that will now haunt you too"

Wata Igarashi at Rural Festival Japan 2019

Rural is always a special event for me. Playing in the Japanese mountains in front of my friends, it means a lot. Last year I was on the Sunday night, full of stars, in between Function and Alessandro Cortini. With a 3 hour slot, I had the chance to dive deep and do what I wanted. It was a really positive experience for me so I thought it would be nice to share the recording with you all. Thanks for listening and hope to see you on a dancefloor soon, Wata.

Here is some of the music in the set: 
https://buymusic.club/list/wata-igarashi-rural-2019-set

Ruralは、2013年玉川キャンプ村で500人限定だった頃から毎年参加させてもらっていて、大自然の中、多くの友人の前でプレイできる自分にとって本当にスペシャルな場所。昨年は、3日目夜、星空の下、FunctionとAlessandro Cortiniの間の３時間スロットで作りたかったストーリーを描けることができたので、是非シェアしたいと思いました。聴いてくれた皆様に感謝します。そしてまたぜひ近いうちにフロアで会いましょう。Wata
