Ben UFO - Essential Mix 25.09.21

Laani (@alanna-henry) is all about introducing you to music you love but don't yet know it. It’s the Londoner’s exceptional taste in all things jazz and Afro, soul and hip hop which makes that so. She demonstrates it with her regular The FullJoy Experience shows on Worldwide.fm and her work with Strut Records, but this week she heads into a different world of sound. 

House, acid and breaks are the order of the day here with cuts from the likes of Lady Blacktronika, Paula Tape, Soichi Terada and K-Lone all making for a lively selection. There is a classical leaning to start with as lush synth soul permeates the good-time grooves. Celebratory piano chords, peak time house and deeper moments all reflect the sound of a DJ able to play loose, free and with an irresistible sense of fun.

Dekmantel Podcast 412 - LAANI

This month, UK duo Mount Kimbie put out a double-album that is essentially two solo records welded together. It's not terribly surprising: each member lives in different countries (the hip-hop inspired Dom Maker in LA, techno head Kai Campos in London) and they've talked about their differences and what each brings to the table in past interviews. MK 3.5: Die Cuts | City Planning splits the duo's kaleidoscopic sound into its constituent parts, with Maker's side focusing on woozy hip-hop and R&B and Campos's reflecting a love of straightforward '90s techno, as dance floor-friendly as anything the group have ever released.

It's the latter that we're here to showcase with this week's RA Podcast, which is a recording of Campos's new live set. In a way it's a more fleshed-out, comprehensive companion to the his side of the album, but it stands on its own as a blistering techno performance. Combining the melodic sense and quirky arrangement tics of Mount Kimbie with a pulsating, stripped-back approach borrowed from Detroit techno—classic drum machine sounds used to the fullest—Campos reinvents himself as one of London's best techno artists. Like the new Mount Kimbie album, it's different, welcome and impressive.

Bristolian DJ Danielle met Detroit-born Panorama Bar resident Ryan Elliott for the first time about five minutes before their debut back-to-back. We just knew this one was going to work.

“With this mix, I've been very inspired by a specific uplifting yet rolling sound that I've only been able to categorize in my efforts of organization as "forward feeling". Its a sound and a feeling that has always been a feature in my sets, and doesn't necessarily feel tied to a genre. Recently I've been digging for it more and finding a lot of fun and happiness when I play it out. It feels like the moment of when you're surrounded by friends and locked into a groove and the crowd is dancing together as one. Diving deeper into this sound has been a process that I've really enjoyed and this mix captures some of my favourites of this sound to play in a club at the moment. Hope you enjoy x.” @ohpeach

@kasra-v’s retro-injected club cuts are propelling dancers into the future

"The mix is kind of retrospective musically, and I am retrospective personally and I’ve come to terms with that in the past year or two. I was listening to a lot of Danny Tenaglia’s Twisted label and Global Underground’s mix series and this Tony De Vit 12-hour mix from TRADE, which back then must have been like what, 500 records? And also going out a lot at the time and listening to friends who I find inspiring every time I see them DJ, like Marie Malarie again, Byron Yeates, Alex Kassian, THC – so it was probably a mix of all of that."

This is the set I played at Dekmantel Selectors festival in 2019. I closed out the evening, following sets by Mad Miran, Khidja and OKO DJ.

I'm really missing the dancefloor right now, so it was fun for me to relive a memory this joyful. I hope you guys enjoy it too.
