Dive & Lie Wrecked Tour 2011 (live set)

REFRACTION welcomes Luís Bravo to its podcast series.

The Portuguese DJ and producer brings a deeply atmospheric blend of Deep House, Dub House, and Techno—rooted in minimalism and emotional depth. Active since 2008, Luís Bravo has steadily built a refined catalog across respected international imprints, always channeling the introspective warmth of island life into his sets and productions.

After contributing a standout remix to Pedro Capelossi & Aeikus’ Side Effect, a release that became a staple in the REFRACTION catalog, Luís now steps in with a signature mix—textured, immersive, and profoundly connected to the essence of the label.

REFRACTION Podcast Series #20 - Luís Bravo

LEGEND ALERT: “Silicone Soul’s techno-tinged house productions have captivated the world’s dancefloors for 25 years. From heroic releases on Soma, including the crossover hit ‘Right On, Right On’, to deep excursions on their own Darkroom Dubs imprint, they have always remained a benchmark of quality. Enrapturing you with blues one moment, damaging you with disco the next, then blindsiding you with a deep tech tease - these dynamics have defined their style. Respected studio artists who’ve honed the dark art of hypnosis and immersion, in-demand DJs who can spellbind ears in all capacities from Panorama Bar to the Boiler Room via two Radio 1 Essential Mixes, and influential independent label Darkroom Dubs: However, wherever you encounter Silicone Soul’s operations, their kaleidoscopic, electronic ethos is unfailing.

Entrenched in Soma schooling, Darkroom Dubs maintains Glasgow’s record label tradition of never compromising and encouraging the most honest records from all artists who work with them, from supporting early and breakthrough cuts to working with innovators of all generations. Over 20 years, Darkroom Dubs has amassed a rich catalogue of unique and inspiring electronic music with breadth, soul and a subtle sense of cosmic consistency, just like Silicone Soul’s productions. The fact that they only ever sign tracks they genuinely believe in means every Darkroom Dubs release is worth checking, with their sporadic-but-always-on-point Darkroom Dubs compilations vital for any card-carrying house lover.”

SILICONE SOUL: SPÆCIAL MIX 406

Lunacy Sound Division returns with Altruism, a deeper, more atmospheric journey into electronic music while retaining his signature acid energy. With infectious grooves, nostalgic rave synths, and soaring 90s Detroit-inspired chords, the track even cheekily nods to Mark’s new neighbors, who complained twice during its creation. On remix duty, Rhythm Cult boss Paul Loraine teams up with rising talent DCLVIII OFC. Their rework transforms Altruism into a hypnotic, euphoric journey—melding its rave energy with rich piano melodies, soaring strings, and killer tribal rhythms. Whether in a pulsating club or on a sun-kissed terrace, this release is built to captivate dancefloors with its deep, melodic allure.

Danny Howells arrives on Radio Slave’s Rekids for the first time with the three-track ‘Throb’ EP, landing 16th May 2025. Howells, a quietly revered figure in house music since the mid ‘90s, delves deep across the ‘Throb’ EP, which celebrates subtle drum programming, otherworldly keys, and soundscapes throughout. The cossetting warmth of ‘Throb,’ a track which tips the smallest of nods to Danny’s role in the heyday of progressive house, was born out of a late-night studio session—long forgotten about and then rediscovered, re-appraised, as so many great tracks are.

‘Thrunk,’ another supremely heady cut, follows and sees keys slide around the mix, modulated and tweaked just enough to create a constant feeling of movement without losing balance, firmly rooted by a bassline that Howells, contrary to his usual practice, wrote first. Rounding things out on ‘Throb’ is ‘Threads,’ a track born out of a Fred P listening session and one that enlists London’s Elliot Herrington on keys. It’s an epic ode to classic Deep House, delivered in 2025 widescreen technicolour.

Danny Howells is a darling of British dance music. Emerging in the late 1990s with the likes of the era-defining Jackpot Records, his journey in dance music has always been about music, which has seen him eschew frantic touring and production schedules in favour of doing what he loves. Famous, for those in the know, as Cassy’s favourite DJ, Howell’s deft touch and subtlety as a DJ and Producer are evident in spades on ‘Throb.’

“I’m really pleased with this EP—three quite different tracks that have all been fitting really nicely into my sets recently. To have found a home for them on one of my all-time favourite labels is a dream come true!” - Danny Howells.

The Barcelona based DJ and producer's influence across the tech house and techno scene over the last 20 years is indisputable. 

His melodic masterpiece "Diabla", released in 2001 became a huge global hit and DJ Mag's 'techno record of the year'. Played by house, progressive, techno even trance DJs, its release saw the Scot’s career soar to new heights! 

Other hits "Jack Me Off," "Bad Coffee”, "Emotional Content", remixes for Underworld, New Order, and Laurent Garnier, plus releases for Bedrock, Drumcode, and All Day I Dream, are just a mere snapshot of his discography. 

Seminal mix compilations for Balance Series, Soma's Sci-Fi Hi-Fi, and Cocoon followed, further cementing his place in dance music history. 

Still not content with conquering techno, Sandberg was mystery figure behind “Francois Dubois”, with releases such "Blood" and "I Try" named as a big influence for Darius Syrossian, plus many other leading tech house DJs of his generation.
