Mixes

@facta & @k-lone93 have been on a roll recently. Their Wisdom Teeth label has seen them put out not only excellent music from Tristan Arp, but also Facta's brilliant downtempo album Blush and K-Lone's recent Zissou EP. Both hail from London but are now Bristol-based and they mix up many of the different styles you'd expect from those two musical hotbeds. Everything from 2-step to Baltimore, post-dubstep to deep house gets distilled into their sets and productions, but always with well-swung drums and high-pressure bass. 

The pair kick off the New Year for us with a nimble mix that moves smoothly through glossy house depths, stripped-back broken beats and elastic rhythms. There is always a rich layer of percussion, sweet vocal or elegant melody burrowing deep into your brain while the beats keep your body happy. It's a perfectly persuasive listen that eases you off the sofa and back to the dance floor in no time.

The happiest of New Years to all of the Honcho family! We have a lot great artists lined up for 2022 and we're excited to kick things off with Lisbon's @joedelon. Joe’s greatest satisfaction comes from linking the most vivid elements of dance music’s past with the best of its vibrant present to create moments of pure pop catharsis.  

Joe has put in the work and built several platforms for himself such as  his long-running show Flamingo on Lisbon’s Rádio Quântica and his record label Welt Discos.

Enjoy!

Freakin Time with Freakenstein and DAWL - 04 August 2023

Silvio (@route8) is a self-declared “multi-genre artist.” His work since 2011 has placed Budapest on the electronic music map, shaping its musical landscape with his diverse compositions. Having released several EPs in 2013, Silvio was subsequently discovered via his SoundCloud page by @lobster-theremin founder Jimmy Asquith (@asquithhhhh). He has since founded his own label called @this-is-our-time and released his debut album in 2020. Now, with two Boiler Room gigs behind him, he continues to make and release his music while performing regularly again.

I played @ Soundfactory in Zagreb from 6am till 9am which was absolutely insane. 🎵Started off with some darker sounds then slowly moved to more brighter ones as the sun moved higher up on the sky. 🔥
Big shout-out to @burek for having me ☀️ and to all the dancers who were there. 🎷
Need a track ID? Just ask and next time you see me grab a bottle of cider with me in the DJ booth. 🥂

Route 8 @ Soundfactory, Zagreb (19-04-2019)

Today we’re all super hyped for for Lente Kabinet this weekend so to get us even more excited we’ve got Job Jobse making his entry to the series. He will play a closing set at the festival and as resident at De School is a master for serving up the perfect record at the perfect time. Initially a slow burner, he’s long been loved by Amsterdam locals for his richly melodic take on house, techno, Italo and disco, and himself is happy to call it trance. 

It’s certainly a spell being and emotional style that characterises his work here. With something of an old school slant, there are stiff vocal cuts and robotic grooves that slowly loosen up and turn to more hands in the air and zoned out fair before getting more sci-fi and occult later on. As ever with Jobse, it’s feel good and fun without being obvious.
