Futuristic disco master Ichisan is back. After releasing 'Baba Mustafa' EP on Gouranga Music, he brings us more italo grooves with his newest release 'Voda' on Nang Records.

The shimmering electronics and dancefloor energy of the Italo sound felt like a signifier of a future fast approaching Eastern Europe in the mid 80's, and as we lurch into the second quarter of the twenty first century, Slovenian producer Ichisan's fourth studio album VODA (Water) has warm and welcome roots in that hopeful era.

After the last 14 months, it's no surprise that the (seven track) album isn't particularly focused on dancefloors, as made clear from the outset by airy, moog washed opener Gozd Reka (River In A Forest). 
The glistening arpeggio's of second track Gospa Jensen (Mrs Autumn) are a sonic theme that filters in and out of the album, as is the easy listening / BBC Radiophonic style playlfulness of the likes of Konjski Rep (Horse Tail).

When a bit of 4/4 lead dancefloor structure does makes an appearance, as with Mornarska Kapa (Sailor Hat), the mood remains light and breezy, and is quickly followed by the cautionary Cabernet Pa Na Taxi (Always take taxi after drinking Cabernet) which opens with the sound of cork exiting bottle, and proceeds to strut artfully around a breezy funk groove of agreeable vintage.

LP closer Tiha Voda (Quiet Water) drifts comfortably from arpeggiated glissando's into a breezy cocktail jazz rhythm, and feels like a fitting end to 30 + mins spent in a place many will be happy to return to in the brighter days ahead.

Watch out closely... Ichisan and Gouranga have been working on something truly special coming this Fall.

It was such a great honor to have the chance to perform live at Maxa and Mayan Warrior event. The lights, the lazers, all the art installations were amazing. I didn't realize when I was playing on the car but when i saw the videos from the audience I was blown away. It was magical. Mexico is magical <3

Thanks to our brothers of @mayanwarrior for the collaboration

Ivan Fabra is an eclectic Barcelona-based DJ and artist who was first exposed to electronic music during the late 90s where he frequented clubs. 

He has skillfully mixed his wide music influences and demonstrates his deep love for creating atmospheric pads, groove bass lines and unique cosmic funky-disco sounds with the pure physical energy of club and dance floor sounds in his productions. His sound is defined by powerful drums and driving synths, with a unique touch and a strong ability to blend the past and the future. Sharing a passion for vintage analogue synthesizers.

Best known for his heady mix of nu disco, dreamy balearic, psychedelic house and synth-driven techno along with his ability to read the dance floor has enabled him to work a crowd either warming up with sleazy laid back grooves or ramping things up into peak-time misbehaviour and up into the stratosphere.

Many of his tracks have been remixed by artists like Prins Thomas, Gerd Janson, Alinka, Touch Talk, Manuel Costela, Alberto Melloni, Tech Support, Ainz, Mau Maioli, Sauco, Yuki Tosaya, Ella de Vuono, Vincent Inc., Something’ Sanctified.

EPICAST #042 - Ivan Fabra

With previous releases on the likes of Nervous and Street Tracks, Melbourne's Jwalker is fast becoming a very dependable name for house thumpers. Returning to local label Refuge Recordings, he serves up another two weapons. 'Bad News' fuses juggernaut bass with classic '90s house beats, ravey stab samples and Detroit flavoured strings to make for one serious workout, while 'What U Put Me Through' takes an almost dub-style approach to its undulating low end and tense organ notes, veering towards the UKG side of things with cheeky spinbacks and sorrowful, soulful vocal samples.

PREMIERE : Jwalker - Bad News

EPISODE 10 - IMMANU-EL
1H15 • APR 24 2024
 PLAY
Emanuel aka Immanu-El is playing with different styles of music for a long time. Through his personal journey and life's challenges he discovered shamanism and found lots of inspiration through folkloric and multicultural electronic sounds. His DEEP GROOVY HYPNOTIC SOUNDS mesmerize crowds, turning the dance floor into a spiritual place. He founded the label Sunna Records and the german party series "Into the Woods".

This music journey is created to take you back to your native roots and guide you into the new year. All that was, is and will be is already anchord within every living cell. By gently peeling off the artificial layers around our existence we'll be able to discover those memories of the future, which will guide us towards our highest purpose and self-fulfilment.

We're sending clarity and ease to all of you & wishing you a wonderful listening.

Big Hugs - @immanu-el

Hello everyone, last year, as Christina and I made our first journey to Burning Man, excitement would be understated with plans to deliver an electrifying set at the iconic Robot Heart Bus after Lee Burridge. However, nature had other plans — unprecedented heavy rains and flooding at the event meant that, unfortunately, my performance could not go ahead. 

On my recent US tour, our ever-supportive friend, Benjamin from Robert Heart and the rest of the crew, extended a heartfelt invitation to play at their unique San Francisco-Oakland residency. 

This mix is not just a set; it's a token of appreciation to all who were there and an offering to those who couldn’t join us. 

Immerse yourself in a slice of the magic from that night. Whether you're listening from near or far, I hope it transports you right there with us. 

Looking forward to the next gathering at the Robot Heart residency in San Francisco / Oakland on May 9th. 

Enjoy the journey, HOSH

HOSH - Robot Heart Residency - Oakland 2023

Virginia Grohl, mom of Foo Fighters rockstar Dave Grohl, wrote a book titled From Cradle to Stage. She met with the moms of many rockstars and gathered stories about Dave Matthews, Zac Brown, Amy Winehouse, Pharrell Williams, Adam Levine, Mike D (the Beastie Boys), Kelly Clarkson and the list goes on. What Virginia Grohl uncovered after speaking with all of these rock moms is fascinating.

In this episode Virginia tells us what Dave Grohl was like as a child and the challenges that can come with having highly creative and energetic kids. Virginia, who’s a retired school teacher, shares her thoughts about our education system and also what parents can do when they have a child with explosive energy on their hands.
