Name: Yaël Ohayon
Alias: Ygal Ohayon (@trashdisco) (I kept my deadname for my DJ activities and social networks. As it’s still around, maybe I should call it a zombiename :) ?)
Pronouns: She/Her
Location: Paris

Influences: From the soundtrack of my childhood and teenage years (North African and Middle Eastern music, New Wave, mainstream Italo Disco, Euro beat, early rave stuff…) to Disco, House, Electro, Early Goa and Cosmic Music. With a special mention for two DJs : Ron Hardy and Daniele Baldelli.

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects:
I have a monthly residency on the web radio Rinse France. Each time, I spin a 2-hour mix exploring a particular vibe, from downtempo and disco to house or progressive. I released a couple of years ago a compilation called "Studiolo" (Italian word for “cabinet of curiosity”) and dedicated to 90s Cosmic Music. It was released on the French label Antinote.

Favorite Quote:
“One must dance every day, even if only in thought.”

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
The most important is to protect our own mental health. The DJ/producers game can be really toxic for anyone, but especially for Queer people. We have to face daily micro aggressions, and we have to deal with the stress and anxiety generated by competing for attention on social networks. It can be devastating.

About the mix:
It’s a vinyl-only mix, as I usually do, recorded at home. First, I thought about making something really club and dance floor, but I was not really in this mood. I went digging in my house for progressive and trance records to make something more shiny, like a cocoon to face the coming winter.

With this mix Ygal Ohayon asks for you to please learn more about and consider donating to:
❁ SOS MEDITERRANEE France: It’s a French NGO rescuing and protecting refugees who try to cross the Mediterranean Sea. It’s really important to help them when French government tries to shut it down and when governments all over Europe vote to toughen laws regarding immigration.

Sordid Sound System made a storming entrance on Special place by remixing Treasure Island's track 'No Loss'. He returns to the label with his own productions, showing his mastery in the assembly of sonic atmospheres. Every element seems to fall right into place, every sound triggers yet another emotion.

This EP is the closest that Sordid has come to flirting with the 1980s. Throughout its duration, you can hear the sonic imprint of early 80s neo-noir cinema such as Bladerunner, Scarface, and Escape From New York.

'The Great Psychic Outdoors' is a masterpiece imbued with the DNA of the bastard lovechild of John Carpenter and The Cure. One of those tracks you could play on a tape loop for hours. Because it feels intriguing and frightening, but draws you in. Just like hiding away in a tree house and watching the world from above on a rainy day.

'I Dream Of Electric Sheep' delivers Sordid's so-called 'motorik dub', one foot in disco, one foot in the Caribbean, with a nod to Compass Point classics by the likes of Talking Heads and Grace Jones. Like the rest of this EP, these qualitative sounds called for a stellar remixer. With close to a hundred remixes under the belt for artists ranging from Radiohead to Isolée or Romanthony and a massive catalogue of productions that dared to leave dance music for ambient sonic explorations, Ripperton was the perfect pick.

His reimagining of 'I Dream of Electric Sheep' transports us into daring dreamlike realms of rhythmic exploration, Deckard's beat-up Spinner escapes the smog of the dystopian city for the clouds high above.

And to close us out with a vital burst of cracked up mechanical energy, 'David, I'm Just A Curious Soul' brings searing phantasmagorical acid-house to the imaginary dancefloor of a late 80s warehouse party on the lower East side of New York.

🔊 https://youtu.be/cGMU7zqgB8A

Belgian analogue duo Borokov Borokov present their new EP on Magma Records. Inspired by a surreal, feverish dream by one of its members, World War captures the raw energy of the band’s live performances. 

Incorporating live musicians, including the voices of Lara Chedraoui (Intergalactic Lovers) and Frankie Traandruppel, and co-produced with Youniss Ahamad, the EP showcases Borokov Borokov’s distinctive blend of chaos and artistry while venturing into new dimensions of their sound. Departing from their signature DIY approach, the band enlisted Youniss Ahamad as a co-producer to bring out a visceral, live feel. Drums, bass guitars, and brass instruments layer over their electronic foundation, with guest vocalists adding depth to each track’s unique intensity.

World War is a molten blend of sounds and emotions—a dance between chaos and order, built to radiate heat that pulls listeners into its burning core. Balancing raw analog sequences, mesmerizing chants, distorted effects and hypnotic synth loops, their new output embodies the sounds of a post-apocalyptic dream, influenced by DFA-inspired Electro Funk, echoes of the Italo Disco era, angular post-punk, and trippy Acid House. 

Designed for the eccentrics of the dancefloor, the EP is slated for release on February 28 on vinyl and all digital platforms via Magma Records.

The first track, "Alles," creaks and groans, dragging the EP into motion. Featuring the imposing German chants of Lara Chedraoui ‘Alles’ is both visceral and haunting, raw yet ethereal—an all- encompassing sonic punch to the face, while luring you into the post-apocalyptic unknown. Fueled by a raging dichotomy—like fire and water—the single thrives within a dreamlike setting. Powered by Tim Caramin’s (Youniss) fierce drums, pounding like industrial machinery in full swing, all elements of this track converge in a relentless rhythm.

With its steady bassline and murmured vocals, "Wrong π" lures listeners into Frankie Traandruppel’s meandering musings on pastries—a hypnotic spiral where each word dissolves into a sugary haze. The track’s punchy rhythm and groove evoke the energy of an old DFA record, as if recorded live at an abandoned warehouse in New York, with the groove gradually melting reality like caramel flan and embodying a chaotic discipline. In a world teetering on the edge of order and chaos, Frankie surrenders to entropy, devouring the entire pie: "DON’T BUY MY PIE!"

'If This Is The Title Of This Track You'd Better Listen To A Bob Dylan Song' delivers a layered, rebellious soundscape that boldly declares itself a protest song. Belgian musician Benjamin Hermans’ brass runs against the grain with shifting time signatures, defying conformity while evoking the melting surreality of a dreamscape. Over this, drummer Simon Pas adds a dub drum beat that wavers like a mirage in the scorching sun, his vision blurring until everything fuses into a single black spot—a “dubsturbance” born of heat and dissonance.

In "Uomo," the EP’s final track, Lara Chedraoui’s voice resonates with the line “Ruins bathing in light,” setting a haunting tone over an electro-funk beat in D minor, the saddest of keys. Here, human oblivion shifts to manmade extinction. Switching at times into Italian, the lyrics reveal a striking vision: the driver of the Anthropocene isn’t just “human”—it’s “uomo”, a figure both powerful and tragic. With a nod to Italo disco, "Uomo" flips melancholy on its head, trading lightness for sadness in a dance at the edge of oblivion, like boogieing backwards on an escalator to hell.

Alles (ft. Lara Chedraoui)

Benedikt Frey is many. Or just one? He is a composer. An arranger. A DJ. A Liveact. A ghost producer. A fan. He also plays in bands like INIT, or Dolphins or KEYS +++ produced the last two albums for Chris Imler. Downbeat in experimental dub zones. The goat for Edits and remixes. When house was his nation, he used to listen to pen names like Suedmilch or Venedikt Reyf. He still likes the music formed under their umbrella, but today his tomorrow is not echoed in yesterday. His sound signature moved on. Into the open. He founded labels like R.i.O. or Serious Trouble. 

He lives in Berlin. Physically. In mind Benedikt Frey is at many places. Traveling far thru his home studio that is a flat a studio a flat an instrument a record collection a flat a studio. Everywhere gear, vinyl, tapes, instruments, rooms for spontaneous sonic notions, these moments, when a sudden strike of stimulation falls. He is inspired a lot. For music to dance. Music for films. Music for live shows. Music for dancing glows. Techno, house, downbeat, ambient, jungle, electronics outside the norms. Those transportive ones. Jamming with others. Jamming with his mind. In Berlin Wedding, North of the town, where the lights dimmed low, neighbors share the flow, and a small river runs slow.  As a DJ he plays here, there, everywhere. Big clubs, small shacks, festivals, gatherings. From fast to 90 BPM - as he feels. 

For himself. For the crowd. In the spur. He still remembers his club kid days. Going to dance with friends. Down there in Offenbach. Doing the Robert Johnson. Collective emotions for a better tomorrow. These he still seeks. In his music. His shows. His collaborations. You can book him for a party. For enlightenment. For ecstasy or introspective perspectives. Dancing slow, whilst pirouetting a high-pitched show. 

Since more than a decade. His own music is out there, too. Bringing his spirits in sound. On his own labels. On international imprints like ESP Institute, Hivern Discs, Craigie Knowes, or Emotional Response. Solo works. Driving ones. Slow drills. Teased during his DJ dates around the planet. 

The music plays day and night. Inspiration comes. From a simple kick drum. A movie sequence. A bird on the sill. A picture, totally still. Can’t kick that feeling when it hits. Benedikt Frey. In dreams. In streams. In music. Emotions. Situations. At night. In those flashy lights, when it bites.
