This two-hour set was recorded live at Waterworks Festival in 2022. 

Evan Baggs and Dr Banana played The Water Tower, a circular stage in the middle of the Gunnersbury Park site. Two masters of their field threw down slamming garage and breaks across a sun-filled Gunnersbury Park. 

Waterworks is back for 2023 on September 16th. Tickets available on Resident Advisor.

BLANK STATE PODCAST 23 / KASHAWAR

Dea is one half of the duo ERIS, she has joined our [dys]functional family  as a solo artist just over a year ago and like everyone that joins I ask for a piece of music where I can present them to the world, generally a Dj set so back then I asked her for a mix.

What I love about most of the artists with us, is that they are patient and understated, a feature that in a world of self entitled egos it comes as quite an asset.  I do adore those that take their time, specially to record a set, meaning it is more important to be and feel right about it than it is to rush through it. In a form of contrast to patience, there is Dea’s personality, which is pure  “fire” , you see, artists can have great mixing techniques and great record collections  but what we should be looking for is personality which in her case, she has in abundance.

In a beautiful world of polarising contradictions where patience meets fire Dea has recorded this special set for this special occasion, the Toi Toi takeover at fabric celebrating mine and her birthday, as good as a Sagittarius, as I am as she is, not surprisingly a fire sign.

Join us for celebrations and for now, press play to what is a beautiful journey of a set, patiently structured, fiery music. :)

Toi Toi Mix Series 40 by Dea

Dr Banana is a name that commands a lot of respect in certain corners of the dance music world. The man has his Ph.D in record digging—not literally, mind you, but play along—and key to his success is the sense of fun, joy and ecstasy he brings to his DJing. UK garage historian? Sure. Blinding DJ? Definitely. He likes to play records you've never heard before, records that not only make you dance but might remind you of some of your favourite, formative records of yore.

The UK artist started out with a fashion line and some records and ended up an influential label boss, collector and DJ. He made his name with skippy, retro UK garage—sometimes from new producers and sometimes unearthed from the archives—and nicely coincided with the genre's explosion in popularity. Since then, he's highlighted everything from old-school German garage to new-school producers like K-LONE. His DJ sets have only become more adventurous and, crucially, even more bumping. Jungle, R&B, tech house, you name it. His RA Podcast zeroes in on a vintage-sounding, rollicking kind of house music, full of seismic disco basslines and quirky vocal samples. It's as celebratory as it is mysterious.

Once, Dr Banana was a not so well-kept secret for the heads—the kids in Berlin and London who were starting to realize the similarities between UK garage, minimal and tech house. Now, he's for everyone, and starting to earn the wider recognition he deserves.

Of all the Berlin DJs who make a living spinning strange, I'm-not-sharing-the-tracklist kind of records, Sugar Free, originally hailing from Madrid, might be the most fun. She plays bold, colourful tracks with an air of sci-fi and sleaze, somewhere between Italo, hi-NRG, electro and house. (Her Dimensions Mix last year was one of our favourites of 2023.) She's the kind of DJ who messes with your perception of genres and tempos by how she blends tracks together, and also a DJ with a rare grasp of mixing melodies and moods—just check out the first transition of this RA Podcast for a spine-tingling example.

Sugar Free doesn't speak much publicly, and you won't find a lot about her on the internet. She prefers to let her DJing speak for itself. And her RA Podcast says a lot: proggy basslines, heart-in-mouth descents into reverb-heavy breakdowns, eerie vocals and a general feel of psychedelia and '80s decadence. It's difficult to tell what era these records are from, which is part of the charm. For a bonus point, try and pick out two just-completed Sugar Free originals, some of her first productions ever after her debut track came out on Limousine Dream in 2022.

Dear Undersounders,

We are back with a new mix for our podcast series, this time with a slightly different approach. This is a Live set recording from Chris Geschwindner, a very young Frankfurt based producer, who was also featured in our latest release on UndersoundLAB, with this track "Cirrus".

This live recording is entirely composed by  Chris's own tracks, most of it still unreleased. We really like this artist's style, and we are quite impressed considering he is only 21 years old and was able to put a live set together like this one.

We truly hope you will enjoy this mix, and be sure you will be hearing more of Chris Geschwinder's music from us in the future ;)
