Episode 56 w/ Planet B

Detroit-based artist Julion De’Angelo steps forward into his own with a new musical offering:
the debut EP from his new label, Maybee Hill Music. Named after the street that he grew up on,
the label celebrates ancestral guidance and reflecting on the past, so you can move FORWARD!
And forward De’Angelo moves, with two distinct tracks that cement his place among his peers as
a Detroit-based purveyor of deeply impactful musical endeavors rooted in Black expression.
Can’t Go Askin is a dance floor activator, a beater and a belter. An exuberant testament to Black
joy, building and shining triumphantly throughout its mesmerising 12-minute runtime.
The track centers on a riff that immediately locks you in, as it stretches and expands with a
seductive, propulsive groove, with percussion and keys all floating below a soaring and
shimmering Juno. This bold and idiosyncratic interplay results in a jam which takes you
HIGHER, transcendent in the spirited tradition of Chicago and Detroit.
The song is a sonic snapshot of De’Angelo’s life. A personal portrait of uplift in motion.
Both songs on this EP were made during a visit to North Carolina, a poignant trip that
culminated in estranged members of De’Angelo’s family being reunited. This feeling of
reconnection with friends, family, and community imbues the song with the spirit of
intergenerational healing and encapsulates De’Angelo’s central philosophy of music being a
vessel for self-expression. It makes perfect sense that De’Angelo would debut the song at Plastic
People’s Printworks party in London earlier this year, as it shares the club’s celebrated ethos of
forward-thinking sonics that unify the dance floor whilst defying boundaries and pigeon-holes.

De’Angelo completely switches gears for the flip side of this musical offering. Reflecting
Cancer Moon is an immersive descent into deep dubby waters inspired by a night walk in the
woods. A hypnotic, bare-bones meditation with crazy swing, that explodes into a rhythmic swirl
of percussion. Dub delay echoes in and out as we journey deeper into the forest with the moon
illuminating our way forward. Reflecting Cancer Moon stands on the shoulders of Basic
Channel, Rhythm & Sound, and the dub exploits of the mighty Mike Huckaby (Rest in Power).
This EP embodies De’Angelo’s restless urge to constantly seek out new sounds and open up
new sonic areas for experience and transformation, with two tracks reflecting two sides of the
musical spectrum. One a 12-minute rager for dancers to lose themselves in. The other a journey
into a dark forest of echoes, dynamic drumming, and narcotic reverb culminating in a calming,
Luna-lit stillness.

Episode 60 w/Julion De'Angelo

"Art and music are the same, they're just different dialects." The Chicago house music legend talks about co-curating the photo exhibit Walk The Night and nightlife's '90s heyday. 

Ron Trent grew up in Chicago, where he dreamed of being a musician from a young age. He would end up becoming one of the architects of the Chicago house sound and working alongside contemporaries like Chez Damier, and across the pond, Basic Channel. His label, Prescription Records, became a renowned purveyor of the deep house sound. He spread his vision from the American Midwest to New York, Europe and beyond. 

In this talk recorded live at Miami Art Week, Trent talks to Resident Advisor music critic Kiana Mickles about the songs and dance floors that shaped him in this early part of his musical trajectory. In addition to playing some of his favourite jazz, funk and disco songs, he reflects on clubs like Studio 54, Paradise Garage and The Warehouse, which he claims matured him as an artist and irrevocably shaped the trajectory of club culture. Trent was instrumental in co-curating an exhibit called Walk The Night (which premiered at this multidisciplinary event), a photographic homage to these spaces and other historic clubs around the world.

To hear more about the legacy of Trent's favourite clubs and the music that shaped him, listen to the episode in full.
