We're taking a trip back to summer with this recording from Huerta's sublime 2 hour set, supplying the soundtrack to a bustling beach stage dance floor on the final night of Dimensions 2022. 

Recorded as part of the VBX & Slapfunk takeover, Monday 5th September 2022.

Huerta - live at Dimensions 2022

I know we say this almost every week, but for our next edition of Trommel InSession we have something very special for you. The moniker Respond/React might be new but it is comprised of three artists that are certainly not new to the scene. Artists Man/Ipulate, Massaï, and Lamalice will no doubt conjure up lengthy Sentaku parties helmed by their founders and regulars that have helped the Parisian / London based label and event series to flourish. The ethos of the triple trouble combo offers fresh perspective in the relationship between crowd, the music and the emotion that comes with hearing a new track at home and the effect that it has on the audience at a gig. 

The three have illustrious solo adventures and so the prospect of all three artists working together behind the decks is mouth-watering. Luckily for you this ethos was cemented in the live recording of their set for the French brothers Mates in Bordeaux. At the Sentaku showcase Man/Ipulate, Massaï, and Lamalice deftly switch between banging house, grinding basslines and insistent breaks all with a special synergy between them that resulted in this vibe heavy recording.

Respond/React (Massai, Man/Ipulate, Lamalice) - Trommel InSession 096

London-based selector and Spaced co-founder, Tho, has risen to a position of prominence over the last decade for his honed ear and talent for joining the dots between disparate styles.  

Off the back of well-regarded podcasts for Timeless, Dimensions & The Ghost he graces the series with this sublime hour that's difficult to pin down; equal parts spacious and groovy but with enough twists and turns to hold attention throughout.

Partisan's label head Anthea steps up for our first podcast since Dimensions 23'. The British-born, Berlin-based artists' funk-fuelled take on house & techno has rightly won plaudits around the globe, and with DIM 295, Anthea showcases the deeper end of her collection over a spellbinding 85 minutes.

We'd also like to introduce friend of the festival Ginny PA, who's photography we'll be using in our new-look mix series artwork moving forwards.

Bizarre Trax co-founders Felon5 step up to the pod with this sprawling mix; taking in a number of genres and tempos but always with an emphasis on groove.

A trio of accomplished DJs and producers in their own right - with releases on LowMoneyMusicLove, LuckIsOn and of course their own Bizarre Trax imprint - there's an undoubted synergy between the three of them on display throughout this two-hour trip.

At the start of this year, we had the pleasure of welcoming Alexis Namur to Funke for one of our parties. Renowned as a co-founder of Beau Mot Plage, Alexis brings a style that flows seamlessly between house, tech house, and progressive house. Deepness and obscurity are at the heart of his sound. We were lucky enough to capture this special set, so tune into the third release of our podcast and relive the experience.

Happy New Year, you dirty little rascals. We are honoured to open 2025 with a special sequel in the Reptilian Mixes Saga: the very first recording of @atawel's live act.

Since the release of his Colors EP on 129 rec, our boi Raph has been fine-tuning his long-awaited live debut. The reptile farmer performed across multiple venues in Europe, with recent highlights ranging from the upper deck of our favourite Berlin boat, to deep in the ravy woods of the Cévennes. 

Take the middle row seat, grab your pop corn (sweet and salty), and don't skip the trailers. 

No director's cut but you can now listen to 192R-002 endlessly on your favourite streaming platform, and grab it digitally here: https://192rec.bandcamp.com/album/192r-002
