The first hour is a Latin American special of music he’s been digging and listening whilst away, before Soos steps in with an excellent guest mix in the second - Mexican gems, digs from around the world and even some unreleased productions from the Sunday Sunday resident and Magic Dolphin Club co-founder.

Heels & Souls with Soos - 14 May 2023

First 2hrs is just me, after that b2b with DTM Funk for the rest of the 5hrs. First time playing on a Euphonia for both of us. Hope we can do it again sometime soon because it was super fun. <3 

PS: bit of an abrupt ending to the set due to soil from a plantpot ending up on the record that was playing during the changeover.
PPS: Next Locomotion THURSDAY JUNE 13 with MERCHANT (UK) at NAR. (Free) Tickets: https://bit.ly/LMJUN


What is Locomotion?
Locomotion is about DJ artistry, the creative process & storytelling with music. Every month, I invite someone for an all night b2b DJ set and we go on a journey of spiritual grooves & futuristic rides, making you move like crazy.

The long set time allows us to play long tracks, not shying away from those 8-12min tracks, moving through emotions & genres like there are no boundaries.

For the latest instalment of the 'Nice to meet you' show, I was joined by fantastic Max Hammur for an hour of magic, with the first hour of the show recorded by myself, live at Psysquare Chiang Mai, and the second delivered by the Big Man himself...

Max Hammur, the Glasgow-based collector, selector, and dancer, has been making waves with his eclectic styled DJ sets. With a constant mixed bag of music sounds in his arsenal, MAX always has the right weapons to make the dancefloor explosive.

Starting his musical journey in his late teens through his family's electronic music obsession with help from his uncle's passion for 90s US house & UK techno. Then having the other side of the family tree creating an insight for more European psychedelic funk and italo. This unique blend of influences has shaped MAX into the interesting and dynamic character he is today.   Having honed his distinct sound, MAX effortlessly commands any crowd, seamlessly transitioning chill downtempo kwaito or high-energy zouk heat. His sets resonate inclusivity and cultural diversity, reflecting his deep-rooted fascination in global music and showcasing his ability to weave these influences into his performances.   

As well as this he runs club night residencies at some of the most successful venues within Glasgow city. One being the Aye Heavy residency @ Broadcast, this has been ongoing for 5 years with them booking Poly-Ritmo, Bonnefooi, Discotheque Tropicale, Hand-Made, Vandorta and others! The other is Mándalo which means to “send it” in Spanish. This party @ Nice N’ Sleazy has been active for 4 years now, booking local heroes such as Melting Pot, OOFT!, David Barbarossa & Joumana. Both nights have their own individual styles with Aye Heavy being focused on exploring different cultures styles of dance music and it involves hearing sounds around the world that you don’t hear anywhere else in Glasgow. Mándalo was set up as an “anything goes” policy with the night always being supplied with a total mixed bag of music.
 
MAX has been on lineups with some of the biggest names in the game with Optimo, DJ Poolboi, Minna and was invited to Ewan Macvicars first Pavilion Festival, with them also regularly performing at Kelburn Garden Party Festival, La Cheetah & Berkeley Suite. They’ve been fortunate enough to play all over Scotland, London, Switzerland & France and have had recent support with tracks they’ve made through Hunee, COEO, Eternal Love, Moving Still etc.

Nice To Meet You

Nice to meet... Max Hammur - 14th August 2024

There’s a moment at the very beginning of Frolojaz where the track seems unsure whether to reveal itself or remain in reflection. The rhythm stutters gently, as if sound were testing its own balance – not yet settled into groove, but circling it with curiosity.
Organic percussion – tactile, earthy, full of breath and hand – opens the space with a kind of living pulse. A soft yet weighted kick joins, not in insistence but in calm invitation. It doesn’t impose. It suggests.
Then come the strings – quartal, echo-drenched, gently disintegrating across vast imagined halls. They hover, not so much leading the track as dissolving into it. There is no urgency here. Just atmosphere, tone, and time – stretched.
Gradually, without fanfare, the structure coalesces. The four-on-the-floor returns, unobtrusive and patient. A vocal sample loops into earshot – filtered, cycling, shimmering. There’s a sense of French house here, but blurred at the edges. Less homage, more daydream. Labels like Kompakt, All Day I Dream, Sol Selectas or Do Not Sit On The Furniture might come to mind – aesthetics that favor tone over tempo, and repetition as revelation.
Then the tension shifts. A bassline sneaks in – playful, thick, warm. The groove fattens. Just before the break, the drums recede, as if stepping aside. The vocal remains, now fully exposed, soft-spoken yet commanding. A snare build begins – understated, but full of intention.
And when it returns, the track opens wide.
The second movement feels sunlit. Chords rise – smooth, cool, summery. The bass grows bolder, but never brash. This is house music, clearly – but refracted through warmth, ease, and texture. It's not about climax. It's about continuation. A horizon stretched out in rhythm.
Frolojaz doesn’t chase energy – it reveals it slowly. There’s a subtle lineage here, to labels like Lump Records, or Innervisions – imprints that understand dance music as architecture, as emotion in form. But Frolojaz keeps its own posture: steady, self-contained, and quietly generous.
It doesn’t demand to be heard. It waits – and for those who do, it rewards in depth, not volume.
