New mix from Manchester-based dj & producer Simon Hindle aka @rufdug !

We invited Ruf Dug to play in 2017 at our party "Exotika" in Paris who definitely left us great memories of his skills behind the desks, his super solid vinyl selection between balearic, boogie, disco, tropical house, dirty techno and unclassifiable music and great humor and mindset.
Ruf Dug signed numerous records on labels such as Music For Dreams, Unknown To The Unknown, Golf Channel, Futureboogie Recordings, and lately on Shall Not Fade or No Bad Days. He also runs his impeccable imprint Ruf Kutz for more than 10 years. Monthly host on the prestigious NTS Radio, he reflects a wide range of influences in his shows like in this special podcast he delivered for our series !

melt mix vol. 46 - DJ Yassas

Number forty-five presented by a very good pal of mine and talented musician @djchrisellis. Chris' warm,  gentle and friendly aura as a person can really be felt in his musical leanings. The DJ and producer has contributed to series’ like Public Possession, Hope St Radio, Friendly Potential, Primer and Head Rush, spanning between house, electronic, Balearic, dub and IDM.  

Chris' productions are perfectly balanced --  groovy electronic dance music, but still maintaining a feeling of warmth and authenticity.  Beyond covid-lockdowns you can catch him play his playful live set, and he's also got a four track EP coming out on @publicpossession early next year.

Thanks again for the mix Chris! <3

~ DJ Aakmael [USA] ~

Richmond-based veteran DJ Aakmael was born to a trombonist father and a singer mother, which inevitably led him grow up in a jazz-and-funk-led environment. At the age of 16, he got his start behind the decks, playing everything from hip-hop and RnB to jazz and reggae at house parties and school jams, before getting into house thanks to Inner City's huge tune 'Big Fun'. On a mission to steadily educate the ears of his audience, he could have easily been part of those Founding Fathers of House who have devoted their life to producing and curating some of the best house vibes to date. Aak is mainly known for producing underground hard-hitting deep and raw house, assuredly filled with a touch of melancholy and nostalgia. Today, he no longer has anything to prove as his track record is as long as your arm; he first started to release records in the early 2000s on top dance labels like Note Grooves or Axe on Wax, before creating his own imprint UnXpozd Entertainment. Besides, he has been regularly gracing worldwide dance floors such as ://about:blank (Berlin), Fáklya Klub (Budapest) or Output (NY) alongside house geniuses including Patrice Scott or Kai Alcé.

Living up to his reputation, Aak has been extremely picky when putting his tracks together for this mix in order to uphold his standards. Today, he is delivering mellow but serious house grooves from Demuir, Local Options or Satoshi Tomiie. This could definitely be your new summer chill soundtrack!

LA-based music company, Godmode, is known for taking way-left artists and bringing them slightly more to the center.  After breaking Shamir and Yaeji, the label is back with their latest signing, Channel Tres. Channel grew up in the Compton neighborhood of Los Angeles, and his music is a clear representation of the surly attitude of West Coast rap reimagined with the stylings of Detroit house. Fans of Galcher Lustwerk would be wise to check out this project. Similar to the NYC legend, Channel’s voice is effortlessly deep, expertly processed, and a perfect compliment to his deep, sultry instrumentals.

“Top Down” oozes swagger. While a Paranoid London-esque acid bassline rips through ethereal pads, Channel croons, “bet you ain't never heard shit like this from the block before.” He’s not completely wrong. While he’s not the first to champion a sound like this, he certainly has few modern peers. Aside from how dope the song is, I really appreciate the emphasis he places on individuality as an artist. He says, “never let the scene choose you. Never met a man this cool.” For me, it’s essential for a musician to be original, to believe in the uniqueness of their music, and to not conform to the standards set by a saturated scene. Going forward, I hope Channel sticks to his words. It’s not everyday you hear a debut this polished and full of a variety of influences. I’ll be waiting to hear these tunes at my NYC after-hours, but until then, I’m about to cut the top off my Saturn and slow-ride through Brooklyn. Here’s your invite.

Channel Tres’ self-titled debut is out now.
