"We lost Curley way too early and at a point where he was about to become very well known. He had a unique talent but the thing that got me the most was that we were walking the same musical path. We had arranged to work together in the new year but we sadly lost him on new years eve. I was very lucky to have worked with him on the Sahara technique ep and several times in the Spiral Tribe Studio 23 when we were parked up in Den Haag 1993-94. I was most influenced by a record he did with Yan from Unit Moebius on a small label called Oxalis from near Paris. The record featured a flange/chorus being fed back on itself. I was blown away and have developed this sound ever since. You will hear it on this mix. I dedicate this mix to my fallen brother who i will carry in my heart forever and who I always think of before I start an improvisation !!!

Anyone who hears his music and and mine will understand why we are musical brothers."

Next up in our mix series is David Fogarty, the mind behind one of our favorite record labels; Transmigration. Born in Ireland, based in Berlin, David follows taste over hype along with careful art direction he’s been responsible for unearthing and reissuing some of the best psychedelic electronic music from the past three decades. David’s reach extends beyond Transmigration with Sacred Stones; a vinyl-only label for his own hand-stamped DJ edits, Crystal Ceremony; a platform dedicated to spotlighting emerging global talent, and Sound Migration; a joint venture with the iconic Sound Metaphors.

In this mix, David showcases his ability to blend nostalgia with futurism - mixing old-school pscyehdelia with contemporary functionalism - crafting a journey that’s as trippy as it is cohesive, filled with dynamic shifts in momentum, tension, and release.

One of the truest stylists in DJing.

Although leaving behind only a small repertoire, sadly cut short by an early and unexpected passing, what we have left as evidence of his deep dedication to the pleasures of music is so unique and designed with such charming consistency, that when listened to, can only be Zecky’s selection.


Since the late 2000’s we studied the few mixes we could get our hands on obsessively, to the point where for example: we will never be able to hear Pats and Pat “Tobago” without the expectation of “City Lights” to be mixed in next, courtesy of the 2008 Ebisu Bar Jam recording. To us, Zecky became a sub genre of music — "Zecky style tracks" — something in the realms of what we might consider as Balearic, but still somehow blurring the borders of acceptable Italo-disco, and then coming way out of left field with something contemporary like Simply Red...and somehow it all made perfect sense. A lot of these tracks may seem obvious now, but keep in mind this was mid 2000’s, a lot of these tracks were still not known, discogs was not what it is today: contextually, the calliber of his research was heavy. Imagine living in a time when the idea of what a good DJ should be doing is minimal techno yet you’re a Japanese guy going to Italy to look for completely expired Italo material, one can only imagine the facial expressions and dialogues that might have emerged between Italian record store owners and Zecky throughout his digging travels.


The role that talent plays in the DJ "profession" can sometimes feel fuzzy, especially in the post social media/CDJ era. In our humble opinions however, listening to Zecky’s oeuvre gave this mystery a good amount of inspiring clarity. The aesthetic precision of his selection supported by his simple but flawless mixing created compositions so striking that the mixes became new stories or soundtracks to beautiful movies no one had ever seen before. It really felt like he was making something larger than the music he was using to compose these moments. A common (and disturbing) cliche one often hears when people go about describing a DJ’s work is the idea of being a “story teller”. To us Zecky genuinely put forth this idea on a meaningful level, his stories were some of the nicest of all.

We learned so much from Zecky.


Thank you for the music and happy birthday — Zecky would have been 54 today.


Thank you to Daisuke, his party partner, for making this possible ❤️

DJ 界での真のスタイリストの一人。
残念ながら、予期せぬ早すぎる死によって残されたレパートリーはわずかですが、音楽の楽しみに対する彼の深い献身の証拠として残されたものはとてもユニークで、魅力的な一貫性をもってデザインされており、聴くとZeckyのセレクションを感じざるを得ません。
2000 年代後半から私たちは手に入れることができる数少ないミックスを執拗に研究し、例えば、2008 年の恵比寿バージャムのレコーディングのおかげでパットとパットの「Tobago」を聞くと、次に「City Lights」がミックスされることを期待せずにはいられなくなりました。
私たちにとってZecky は音楽のサブジャンル、つまり「Zecky スタイルのトラック」になりました。これは、私たちがバレアリックと考えるものの領域に属しながら、それでも許容できるイタロディスコの境界を曖昧にし、その後 Simply Red のような現代的なものによって予想外の形で登場しました... そしてどういうわけか、すべてが完璧に理にかなったものでした。これらのトラックの多くは今では当たり前に思えるかもしれませんが、これは 2000 年代半ばのことであり、これらのトラックの多くはまだ知られておらず、discogs は今日ほどではありませんでした。文脈上、彼のリサーチの質は高いものでした。優れた DJ が行うべきのことはミニマルテクノであるという考え方がある時代に生きていると想像してください。しかし、あなたは完全に期限切れのイタロの素材を探しにイタリアに行く日本人男性です。彼のレコード探しの旅を通して、イタリアのレコード店のオーナーと Zecky の間に生まれたであろう表情や会話は想像するしかありません。 DJ という「職業」において才能が果たす役割は、特にソーシャル メディアや CDJ の時代以降は、曖昧に感じられることがあります。しかし、私たちのささやかな意見としては、Zecky の作品を聴くとこの謎がかなりはっきりと理解できました。彼の選曲の美的精度と、シンプルでありながら完璧なミキシングが、非常に印象的な作品を生み出し、そのミックスは新しい物語や誰も見たことのない美しい映画のサウンドトラックになりました。彼は、これらの瞬間を作曲するために使用した音楽よりも大きな何かを作っているように感じました。人々が DJ の仕事を説明するときによく耳にする一般的な (そして不快な) 決まり文句は、「ストーリーテラー」であるという考えです。私たちにとって、Zecky はこの考えを本当に意味のあるレベルで提示しており、彼の物語は最も素晴らしいものでした。私たちは Zecky から多くのことを学びました。音楽をありがとう。誕生日おめでとうございます。Zecky は今日 54 歳になっていたはずです。これを実現させてくれたパーティーパートナーの大輔に感謝します❤️

Passing it clockwise (02:19 - Mascaras)

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Well, it’s been a little while (350,400 minutes to be exact) since we last caught up. Life has its way of throwing curveballs, but here we are. And today, we’re diving into the musical world of Marli—Melbourne-born, Paris-based, feet-stomper, head-bopper, and all-around magical force who’s perfected the art of the irresistible thump.

Over the past few years, Marli’s star has undoubtedly risen, and it’s been an absolute joy to witness. Her journey is nothing short of inspiring, earned through sheer hard work and dedication.

Now, let’s talk about this mix. Marli has absolutely crushed it. She’s given us a glimpse into the creative depths of her mind, stepping away from the typical dancefloor energy and exploring the broader spectrum of sound. The mix is a quixotic, romantic fever dream, woven together with off-kilter rhythms, ethereal alt-R’n’B, mind-bending ambience, and world-spanning soundscapes. Every twist and turn is soft and inviting, wrapping you in a warm embrace you won’t want to escape from.

Enjoy.

Much love,
