I recently played a 2 hour opening set for Communion; a spring summer fall party happening Sundays in DT Minneapolis.
This mix is a selection taken from the live recording of my set. The first 49 minutes.
90 to 180 bpm bass stonkers, poly-drum-jamming, a little live edit biz, and swung sub 120 house and techno builders.
Much appreciation to anyone listening & supporting <3<3

Vinyl & digi set. I had a lot of fun in the booth. I tried some things, goofed some things, always trying to push in the mix. Energy stayed right. 

Recording provided by Freak of the Week & mixed (thanks Evian) with external mic/crowd noise. Love that. Additional mastering by me.

Intro is me mixing in Japan Blues drummed up & lovingly rinsed Stoned Bird classic 'Beak'.

Wednesday, February 19th, Cafe Ha welcomes Minneapolis @unb0theredddd Boss @yasmeenahxo onto the show live with a guest mix on hour 1 + some Q&A conversation beginning 7PM Pacific / 9PM Central on particle.fm

Resident host @erlaab with some words/thoughts -
“I cannot recall where or when the first-of-times I heard Yasmeenah DJ. In Minneapolis surely where we both reside. What I do remember, what stuck out the first time & any times following were the drums.
Her selection always hitting with that drum that makes me wanna ________ . Take your pick but for me that’s the thing. Drums, drums, goddamn drums. I’ll take the bass also, thank you very much, but really where are we without that drum? A beat, the pulse, a heart, from always and for forever essential. Trust we are so much better for it. I definitely am. I mean thank you for the drums Yasmeenah:)”

Please do check out & follow more from the artist at her instagram profile & soundcloud account. U know what to do.

Drop us a line in the chat if you are about Wednesday night! ❤️✌️

March 19th 2025 - Hello, my name is esten aka erlaab, host of Cafe Ha.

Tonight I welcome back the immensely talented DJ - Multi hyphenate, my good friend El Niño indigo @elninoindigo. 

His first appearance for the show, a year ago January, was staff picked as a standout show EOY 2024. It is archived & streaming on the Particle FM soundcloud & mixcloud.  

He is deft on the decks, stylee blends for miles, locking it all down with deep, adventurous & instinctual song selection. No.doubt it is a pleasure & privilege to welcome my friend back for another session🫶

Join us tonight at 7 PM Pacific / 9 PM Central with El Niño indigo kicking off hour 1 of the show, myself joining later for hour 2

Only on particle.fm ✌️
