This instrumental went down so well earlier today. Had to do a rewind while out walking and listening.

Incoming the third show of my residency for @eosfrankfurt. As wise DJ once said words can take away from the deepness, so no chat on this one just strictly bangers.

SH101 - June 2023 - Pop/underground crossover producers with Joe Delon

In this episode of Released Control we have the one and only James Tristan, who has prepared a mesmerising one-hour vinyl-only mix filled with obscure 90s gems, ranging from Progressive House, Euro House to Techno. Followed by a one-hour mix by radio host Eclectic Elektra, who dove deep into her collection for some old school House, Prog and Trance goodies.
The Nottingham based DJ and avid vinyl collector has over 10'000 records of old and new gems, which he happily shares with the world on his instagram vinyl blog. He recently started a new event series Electroground, bringing quality music to Nottingham mirroring the blend of genres from his mixes and vinyl collection.

— Q&A —

Thanks so much for recording this fabulous mix. How did you go about it?

[JT]: I started to pull out records a few weeks back and ended up with about 30. I played around with them for a couple of days and narrowed it down to 14. It took me three times to record it. I kept messing up one of the mixes. Lol.

What style of music do you play?

[JT]: I play two styles, new and old. Sometimes they fit together, other times I will just stick to one type. The newer stuff is mainly Trippy House and Techno. The older stuff ranges from Acid House, Italo House through to Euro, Prog and Techno. The mix for your show is all old 90’s records.

Have you ever played in Berlin?

[JT]: No, I was booked earlier this year but annoyingly the event got cancelled. I’ve visited 4 times over the years clubbing though. I made it to Bar 25 before it sadly closed. My last visit mainly consisted of a trip to Berghain which is still really good.

What do you have coming up for the rest of the year?

[JT]: I’ve got some guest spots in Barcelona and London coming up. Also, my new party in my adopted home city of Nottingham starts on the 14th October.

Released Control w/ James Tristan & Eclectic Elektra | BRL - 071023

The Casa Voyager rising producer shines the light on his favorite tunes for a delightful hour of timeless grooves. 

----

- Tell us more about yourself.
 
My name is Youssef Benjelloun, and I'm a music composer from Casablanca, Morocco.
 
- What is the main idea behind this selection?
 
I selected my favorite tracks of the moment, that's pretty much it. 
 
- What are your influences when it comes to music?

I lived in the U.S. for a few years and that has had a huge influence on me and my music. The American scene, both early and modern, definitely steers and shape my sound. I think the genres that have the most impact would be acid house and Detroit electro/technobass.

- What's your best memory when it comes to your music career?
 
That would definitely be the release of the first record on our label Casa Voyager. It's something we've been talking about for quite some time and thanks to Driss Bennis (the mastermind behind the project also known as OCB) it happened. The release was pretty well welcomed and that motivated us to continue the project and push harder.
 
- What are you listening to the most lately?
 
Mostly electro and breaks. A bit of acid. Some Detroit stuff too...
 
- As a Moroccan artist/DJ, how was your journey so far?
 
It's been great. A lot of good things happened since I came back to Morocco, and the best is yet to come.  
 
- What's next for you?
 
I have an EP on Casa Voyager, a few gigs in Morocco, and Oasis festival later this year. Catch the train.

FROM THE 212: KOSH

Our pal and DJ extraordinaire Tamas Jones emailed us last month with an early Spencer Kincy mixtape he'd uncovered from the very early '90s, which was given to his ex-girlfriend by Kincy himself when she was living in Chicago around that time.

His music, most often released under the name Gemini, was a critical part of the house music revival in Chicago around the mid-'90s, along with artists like Derrick Carter and DJ Sneak. Kincy's releases on key labels like Planet E, Peace Frog and Relief were played by the greats of the time, and his DJ sets were incredibly eclectic, astonishingly programmed and completely unique. He was truly one of Chicago house's greatest talents. 

After a brief move to San Francisco in 2000, Kincy returned to his home town in a bad state. He isolated himself from his friends and the music scene, and ultimately ended up homeless. Since then his whereabouts are somewhat of a mystery, and despite his music still being in hot demand with collectors and lovers of classic house music, it's unclear if much of it will ever exist outside of the original limited vinyl releases. 

With this in mind, it's even more exciting to come across this little nugget of house music history. Big thanks to Tamas for allowing us to share this. Enjoy!

Spencer Kincy aka Gemini Mixtape | 1990

Here are three 🦖🦖🦖mixtapes featuring some super-deep, bluesy and soulful Jamaican 7"s from my record collection. I started this “vintage" series back in 2007 and am long overdue making another fair few volumes since I been shopping non stop since then🕳💦⚰️. Some of the cuts are a bit scratchy and worn but personally speaking I think this adds realness and character. These are actual physical records with real histories, some of them 40 years old.....some of these tunes have gathered their sonic patina from some REAL 🔥🐗parties ....eat your heart out Spotify-playlist-on-an-iPhone-speaker generation.💪🏼😜
