As we all get vaxed for “rona” this mix reminds me of a coversation I had w/Larry Kramer in 2014 about his position that there should be an HIV vaccine and that PrEP was a mere chimeria for queer sexual health.... we can only now see how right he was

Super stoked to hear some classic Emmanuel Top get an outing for a contemporary audience!

“Love Hypnosis” is a message.

It’s a narrative meant for personal empowerment; to become the person you want to be. I’ve conducted a few “Love Hypnosis” rituals as extended six hour sets broken into three segments that signal my intentions about love, body, and spirit. For this tape series, they will be shorter missives meant to build upon one another and show a growing idea of how music can explore the magic and actualization of ourselves.

The act of DJing itself is to cast a spell. Dance music as an art form that sends an immediate direct statement into one’s body. It can shift and evolve over time to reveal information, but first it will move you. This message is meant to move you both physically and emotionally. “Love is the fire I need”. I believe it’s what we all need these days. We’re here together. Nobody can stop us now.

A limited run of Love Hypnosis Vol. 1 cassettes are available now exclusively from the label’s Bandcamp and hi-resolution versions are available for download on the same page. 50% of the profits the mix will be donated to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), which works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence.

Octo Octa - Love Hypnosis (T4T003 Mixtape)

I recorded this mix in 2018 for the Her Damit festival and titled it the Mystery of the Motherbeat. I was hungry to tour Europe for the first time and agreed to do a mix and play the festival on a shoestring budget. Her Damit went into bankruptcy later that year, failing to pay artists and others for their work.  They also let their Soundcloud account expire, losing all the mixes they commissioned for the series. 

I am re-releasing this mix under its original name. Its real name. It is one of my deepest mixes. It is filled with the love and hope for the future that I put into it. It was recorded a week before I went to visit Maya and Brooke for the first time in March of 2018, exactly two years ago. That visit would change my life.

Eris Drew’s Mystery of the Motherbeat Mix (formerly Her Damit)

I wanted to share a live recording that we have listened to multiple times in our home  :) 

Last year we spent some time in Bali at Potato Head (@potatoheadmusic). Alongside my night time gig I asked them if I could play a "sunset set" by the beach. Instead a biblical thunderstorm rolled through and we all huddled under the covers. 
Some records I have played before, some I haven't all of them special to me in some way.

Our new In Focus mix series have been brought to life during times of isolation. And what’s better than spending your time diving into new music or DJ-sets from artists you admire? That’s what we thought. The next couple of weeks, we will be asking one artist each week to deliver a mix build around a self-picked theme. Everyone is free to do what and how they feel like, and create something special for themselves and everyone who’s keen to give it a listen too. We hope you enjoy.

Who else would be better to kick off with than our dear friend Palms Trax? Not only has Jay been a favourite of ours for years, he has become probably everyone else’s as well. His contribution to In Focus is one we have listened to in one go: a “100% originals, features, edits and remixes by Joaquin Joe Claussell” mix, which resulted in a stirring and spiritual tribute to one of the all-time greats.

Palms Trax: “Over the last couple of years I’ve found his music to have this wonderful effect on a dancefloor where the whole place can feel like it’s levitating, so when lockdown hit I started going through his records at home and found it to be incredibly healing. Hopefully some people out there feel the same way!“.

For the final recorded set from Campout 2019, we wanted to share a special moment from the weekend. @midland played a stunning three hour set at Hemlock Hole that helped set the tone for the weekend. 

Reflecting back on this time together feels almost like a dream. The threat of COVID-19 and the quarantine we’ve been forced to endure has forced us to hit pause on our lives and rethink our immediate futures. As much as we’d love to dance with you this summer, we tearfully must postpone Honcho Campout to August 19-22, 2021 due to COVID-19.

Running Back co-owner Gerd Janson is one of those very few people who get referred to as 'a DJ's DJ' - an aficionado and general nice guy that always delivers the goods whenever you hear him!
We are very lucky to finally get Gerd to do a mix for us as part of the Phonica Mix Series, so we hope you enjoy it. He describes the more disco flavoured-mix as "more the 2007 Computer-Incarnations-for-World-Peace-Gerd than the sadly non-existent 2020 Ibiza-Gerd."
