“When I was asked about the mix around a year ago, I already had some records that I wanted to play in mind. My intent was to showcase some swedish sounds, but of course I couldn’t just keep to that. Like the australian record for example, or the fake reggae track in the middle. 

My goal with the mix was to create that sunny feeling that, especially us people in scandinavia, long for during the harsh winter months. And I think that I succeeded with my blend of dub, jamaican grooves, hiphop, UK street soul records, and of course a token italo track.”

Hailing from Philadelphia, Shawn, Alex, and Brian have been consistently putting out some of the most wonderful mixes out there. With an incredible ear for all sort of genres and a pallet that is deeper than the Mariana trench, they only went and smashed our expectations with this mix for 5918mins. Get ready for soothing soft rock,  slow jams, sleazy funk, and upbeat disco amongst many other things. (If you are in luck you might even get some of those juicy IDs, but there already is a line for that :))  
Thank you Universal Cave !

Outsiders: Customs @ Kiosk Radio 08.04.2024

Recorded live at Giant Steps on Easter Sunday, 31 March 2024.

The clocks went forward. The speakers were still moving. (They don’t call it a travelling sound system for nothing.) Once the sound settled and after a needle change or two, the dancers flooded in and the sun dipped out of sight.

This recording picks up from about that moment. Just a fun, loose energy from a crowd that knew Monday was a freebie. Flowing between groovers and steppers as the night got extended (twice). 

We felt the love and gratitude, and hope you enjoy the listen back.

Special thanks as ever to Aneesh and Amit, and to Juan for sound at the venue.

"When I selected the tracks for this mix, I wanted to talk about ‘love’. Hope you all listen to this mix while thinking of ‘love’ with your lover, friends, family, animals, etc. :).”

Please join us for this put together by PBR Streetgang in conjunctions with Love International festival.

Love International returns for its 2nd season in summer 2017, fresh from the success of its debut odyssey. Continuing the legacy left by the region’s founding festival, The Garden Festival, it has brought a new sense of magic to the idyllic coastline. By day a harmonious holiday beneath the sizzling sun, and by dusk as the beats shift gear and introduce each balmy night beneath a canopy of stars, the intimate setting holds a unique energy, sound tracked by some of the world’s leading underground DJs and producers. Drawing a vibrant and diverse audience from across the world to a tiny strip of paradise set near the picture-postcard coastal town of Tisno, it is a wonderful and unique adventure taking place across a beautifully intimate site, boat parties, and the spectacular fully open air night club, Barbarella’s, with the picture-postcard town of Tisno a short walk away.

We are more than happy to welcome Nick Stropko (@nickstropko) for our new series of hallooo Mixtapes featuring some spicy chord progressions paired with sticky melodies. Enjoy his contribution suitably named The Spicy Sticky Mix. Q&A here below:

hallooo: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

Nick: Thanks for having me! The mix started from a record bag I packed for one of my favorite local parties, Air A Danser. I tried to then grab some other favorites from the past six months or so. On the whole, I think the mix encapsulates some of my favorite qualities in dance music — spicy chord progressions paired with sticky melodies.

hallooo: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

Nick: One song in the mix came to me from some of my coworkers. I work in a restaurant where the rest of the front of house staff is from Montenegro. While we’re closing up, they usually play terrible Balkan pop songs, but one night, a tune came on for about 15 seconds before they skipped it. I immediately knew that it was right in my lane, and after insisting they replay it, I took a photo and bought a copy the next day.

hallooo: Walking into a record shop can be quite a intimidate experience. Do you have a digging process and/or what kind of things do you look for in a record when you’re out digging?

Nick: The process varies from store to store — what do they specialize in? What am I looking for? But generally it’s a matter of looking for labels I don’t recognize, releases that look distinctive or like they would’ve been overlooked in their day. That, and spending quality time in the listening booth. Ultimately, you have to trust your ears. 

hallooo: Is there a record, that has continued to be in your wantlist over the years?

Nick: While there are loads of records I’m always on the hunt for, ultimately, I find the chase of finding new stuff more engaging. The pleasure of dropping the needle on something that immediately grabs and stays with you is a bit more fun than finally tracking down (or, more likely, paying boatloads of money on Discogs for) an old favorite. That being said, if anyone wants to send me a copy of “Need More Time” by Nick Allen, I wouldn’t be opposed. My bootleg is terrible.

hallooo: Is it possible for you to sum up what the collection means to you in a more general sense?

Nick: It’s just an overview of the records I’ve been listening to recently — some favorite finds, some tips from friends (or coworkers) mixed together in my bedroom.

hallooo: Music bonds people together. Any local heroes/parties you would like to shout out?

Nick: Outside of the aforementioned Air A Danser and a little shameless self promotion of my Japanese mix series/party Nippon Leagues (with my mentor and perpetual inspiration Alex Tebbs Mitchell) I’d be remiss if I didn’t shout out my dear friends at Universal Cave, Extra Water, and Earth Beat.
