May 15th marks the birthdate of one of our favorite DJs - Roy Thode. Technically masterful, pioneering some of the most progressive methods in DJing whilst manifesting an exceptionally educated and tasteful selection of music, Roy Thode is truly an artist when it comes to the craft of DJing. Personally, as DJs, we've learned so much from listening to Roy Thode, 40 years later he continues to inspire us in such relevant ways. 

Roy Thode, a native New Yorker from Long Island, moved to the city in his early 20’s after establishing his DJ skills as a young man growing up in Wantaugh. Roy was perhaps best known for being the DJ for “Saturday Nights at the Ice Palace” in Cherry Grove. His NYC DJ career was highlighted with residencies at both Studio 54 and The Saint however it was the Long Island Gay club scene that fueled and created the foundation for Roy’s illustrious career as perhaps one of the best technical DJ’s of his era.

This mix was recorded at the Ice Palace - in many ways, his home. Being able to share this previously unreleased mix is a tremendous honor for us and we hope you can appreciate this as much as we do. A huge thank you to Marsha Stern for working with us and making this little project a reality.

“I made a mix thinking about a lot people i know who were going through it with the nuances of this thing called life. I meet a lot of people working at a bar and this is dedicated to all the people who feel things a little more deeply.” - @ivanberko

Oscura Resistentia, Mysteriously oscillating between downtempo, cosmic-disco, library, alternative melodies, psychedelic rock, synth-pop and dub, Oscura Resistencia also turns to darker worlds with post-punk, new-wave or techno accents. Through a ballad with varied and moody electronic vapors, she explores the limits of the balance between softness and darkness. A good soup of often unclassifiable elements simmered with love and sometimes surprising.

Big thanks to Mrs. Sandra Stein aka Frinda Di Lanco for this exquisite contribution to our mix series, highly appropriate for the higher temperatures instilled by this Summer's realities. A beautiful display of Frinda's brand of historical dancefloor heavy weight, an aesthetic that has been brewing and elaborating by virtue of her years of research throughout countless worldwide record bin assaults, co-running the "Avec Plaisir" label and throwing the "Ciao Amore Baci" parties. Her path in navigating the contemporary dancefloor scene has been truly refreshing and inspiring to follow. 
Listen for yourselves <3 Thank you Sandra!
