About the mix: Recording from my first gig of the year at Nowadays! This gig was so special in so many levels; I felt a surge of excitement and nervousness coursing through me.

From the perfect booth to the sweaty dance floor and a crowd that is there for the right reasons - make this space so magical. And so it felt in the same way to play for the first time there. Atmosphere was palpable and the hours flew away, they melted in sweatiness, connection and transformation thru music.

Daisychain 317 - ISAbella

Maximalist house from the sibling duo at the forefront of Berlin's new wave. 

Berlin is built on dance music. But of the many DJs who live, work and play there, few represent the evolution in the city's club culture like Tania and Dominik Humeres-Correa, AKA S-candalo. If the city was once governed by the tyranny of minimal, the post-pandemic era has cemented its reputation as the spot for "more-is-more" club soundtracks. It's still house and techno, but the chords are big, the drums are big and the basslines are even bigger. 

Nowadays, S-candalo are firm favourites at hotspots across the German capital, from Panorama Bar to Multisex and Radiant Love (not forgetting La Noche, their own burgeoning party). The duo find rich inspiration in '90s-era Latin house, a sound that takes New York house and incorporates rolling percussion from Latin genres such as samba, popularised on labels like Cutting Records and Strictly Rhythm (there's not one but two records from the latter in this mix). 

RA.956 fittingly lands at the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month in the US (more on that to come) and it's a resolutely fun affair. The duo's RA Podcast has got drive, sultry vocals and enough bounce to make you want to keep dancing way beyond the 90-minutes, marrying percussion-heavy house and ballroom with trance-inflected Eurodance from the '90s and early 2000s. (Oh, and a Shakira moment.) 

Genres aside, the duo's musical raison d'etre is pleasure. Perhaps the real scandal here is how it took us so long to get them on the series.

SMUT Press is delighted to present the 40th mix in our series by the incredible duo FAFF. 

The energetic DJ and production duo is made up of Elliott and Orny, serving as one of the most exciting acts to have burst onto the scene within the last few years. Residents of Big Dyke Energy (ldn), their unique and exciting style spans across club music genres, and has earned them spots playing at Field Manuevers, UNFOLD, Fabric, Draaimolen festival & Panorama Bar. FAFF’s production talent is also clear with their most recent releases on Planet Euphorique & Hot Haus Recs, they harness dreamlike synths and unique samples to create a genre-bending sound that can be truly said to be their own.

FAFF were the illustrious headliners of our second party ‘Sex Moves Us Together (S.M.U.T)’ back in November, finishing off an incredible day with a vibrant and frankly legendary mix of hard basslines and sexy samples. We are such huge fans of Elliot and Orny and are so happy to share this mix with you. Enjoy!

I made this mix as a reflection of what I’m playing out and about lately, with a focus on layering multiple tracks, long blends and carving out tension and release amongst the layers. It’s a mix of old and new, keeping things silky, finding tenderness in harshness, all different styles working in tandem, I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making it
