Magique ce moment du voyage 👨🏽‍🚀

I made this mix for Cape Town based https://soundcloud.com/hamshackradio. The mix was aired on the 17th of November and is now online for yours truly.

2 hours of music exclusively from the Nordic countries - Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland. You'll find some more unknown stuff in this mix but also things that I guess are considered classics here. You'll also not miss out on some tracks that are yet to be released ;-) Chillout/intelligent stuff to more clubby oriented shit. 

I could've kept on for so much longer, but had to keep the 2 hour time limit. I know some skip the first hour or so, but this region has amazing non-club music. So yeah.. Shout out to the ones sitting the two hours through. 

HUGE thanks goes out to all the artists who have made all this fantastic music over the years. It is truly inspiring! 

Enjoy!!

This is the recording from Lewba & Revived Pleasure's set at the recent Brighter Days X Dunj rave. It was recorded at midnight in an abandoned sports centre somewhere in Sydney surrounded by our friends. We think it was an extremely fun set and takes us right back to that awesome moment so we hope you enjoy listening!

Big love

Brighter Days

Moments w/ k2k b2b Peach Milk - July 2022

There might have been a UKG renaissance in recent years, but some artists doing their thing underground since those early heydays. DJ Perception is one of them. A pioneer of the UKG underground, he's been pushing the sound for years through his slick DJ sets, signature rolling grooves and his Moodswing imprint.

The label originally began in the late 80s and after a hiatus was passed down to Perception to helm a few years back, now it's become a space for UKG offerings from himself, Sky Joose and The Stab Mechanics, with plenty more on the way.

When he's not running his own label, he's making music for others: the likes of Rhythm N Vibe, Vex White, Dansu Discs and Bluff Records. But it's his partnership with Timehri that has been a really fruitful one. The London-based platform-turned-label, run by DJ T Dunn, has had a hand in elevating Perception to his rightful status and introduced a new audience of UKG lovers to his old school sound.

He helped launch the label arm in March last year, then contributed a joint mixtape alongside Highrise that consisted of almost entirely unreleased music - now, he's returned for a long player which also marks the only album on the label so far. Arguably the first of its kind in the Garage world, Perception charts a voyage through space for his new concept Journey To The Star.

To celebrate the release, which dropped today, he gives us a taste of his stacked UKG collection as he travels through different eras, sounds and styles...

Borne Fruits with Amaliah - 31 October 2022

DJ Perception is lauded as one of the leading voices in the contemporary UK garage landscape. His sets are widely known for being jam-packed with exclusive dubplates and sought-after cuts of slick 2-step, and his productions are just as highly revered, blending elements of UK garage with house and soul. “I like to make all types of garage, but never commercial music," he tells moderator Heléna Star in his interview. "It’s just underground.”

In this live listening party hosted by Timehri Records and the Black Artist Database, the artist talks with Timehri head T Dunn about the production of his most recent LP, Journey To The Star, which landed on the label in October 2022. They also listen to segments of the record and discuss its wider concept and construction with a live audience. "The music I make has to be soulful," DJ Perception says. "It can be dark, but it has to be groovy and it has to be soulful. That's how I work."

To hear more about the album, the diversity of the UK garage continuum and the underrated practice of bedroom music production, listen to the conversation in full.

For the 283rd edition of our mix series we present the impervious Katya. Kindred resident and regular party starter, Katya has a love for all things electro. 

I wanted this mix to reflect the sort of sounds you may expect to see me play in a club setting at the moment —  spooky techno & electro really do it for me, especially if there’s a vocoder involved, so my sets are always infused with a bit of doom & gloom. I play happy stuff too but the moodiness gets to my soul more than any other style of music. Although the mix is punchy, I’ve kept it under 130 and stripped it back so it’s listenable during work hours. I feel like in the past, my guest mixes were probably too intense to listen to unless you were getting ready to go out, that’s something I’ll be doing a lot less of this year. Equally, I’m hoping this mix is the beginning of me coming out of my imposter syndrome fuelled creative block. Enjoy !

Mantissa Mix 283: Katya

Dubpulse - Mains Courantes invite Martien(Mars 2023)

"According to Barbarian legend, the world was created when a pine cone fell from the World Tree. All life sprung from its fruit, and still does."

For his next sonic sacrament, schuttle travels gallantly forward, unearthing the seeds sowed by the Ancients, to plant them anew in the shadow of the Mystic Mountains. The quest begins with ‘Shadout’. Fractured celestial voices materialise from a mist of frosted
percussion, a merciful kick drum splutters above the surface, bringing with it the viscous swamp murk from whence it came. Thereafter begins a holy union of shimmering light and cave dwelling darkness. 
Onward then, to ‘Souvlaki’. Playful impish chatter stumbles
over the moss covered bass line, whilst cascading snare hits tumble down abandoned wells; a gentle guiding presence through the forest

Thus the traveler emerges from the undergrowth, bleary eyes are rubbed clear to reveal that most rare of sights, the ritual of the ‘Swords Dance’. The Drum of Victory reverberates menacingly around the standing stones, entrancing a hoard of wayfaring Goblins - heavily intoxicated on honey mead and fungus. As the sacred bones are
ground, the Dance begins. The orkish revellers are joined presently by a local mage who unveils his mouth harp and enters the fray wholeheartedly. Then at long last the Sword is unsheathed in all its cosmic glory, conventional momentum is henceforth abandoned in favour of complete ecstatic, unbridled chaos.

After the dust settles on this fiendish bacchanalia, ‘Junkman’ creeps into the fore. Caustic mire oozes into focus, mist rising sluggishly from the reeds. An elemental pad sweeps across the terrain, cleansing our traveler, and warming their weary bones.
