The KDMS: Music to... Drive Into The Unknown To

Parachoque (Vinyl Set)

@waaarning

Introduce yourself:

Part-time Dj dedicated to keeping the dancefloor pumpin at all hours of the night. Committed to spinning bongo driven techno, bouncy house, and sensual trance.

What was your inspiration for this mix:

Lately, me and homies have been talking about “tracks you want to hear when you are walking into the club.” That’s what I wanted for this mix, a bunch of sassy, vocal heavy, ravey progressive cutz that gave you the feeling that if you walked into the club while any of these tracks were playing you’d be like “damn what is this?” Or “who is deejaying right now”. 

I also always wrap every mix around one song, I call it the “thesis” of the mix. For this one it was Shytalks - Touch The House released in 1995 on Consolidated Records. I imagine what it felt like walking into the club in 1995 and hearing that track blasting.... It was prolly crazy af.... It’s the perfect “club walker” track! 

Favorite Djs:

Trax Unit, 1morning, DJ Miss Parker, Sekucci, Sterling Juan Diaz, Dj Rush, Misstress Barbara, Patrick Prins, Eris Drew, THC, Peach, Powder, Robert Armani, Vincent De Moor, Commander Tom, Thomas Schumacher, Olav Basoski, Dj Bam Bam

Dream collab?:
Any of those Djs up there ^^^^  at a jumpin day party in the summer. Like 85 degrees, a chill out room with mist, simple drinks, sexy people, and a banging ass soundsystem 


If we were going to a party and needed to get the pre-game turned up what would be the song you play?: 

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean 


In and outs for 2024:

I don’t really know….. all I know is that there are certain aspects of myself that were left in 2023, and certain parts of myself in 2024 I intend on uplifting.
So….

Advice to the new upcoming DJs:

If your goal is to get booked at clubs/raves then your primary focus should be on recording club/rave ready peak time mixes. I think about mixes like the sports homies that go back and watch films of their games. Listen for everything you did wrong (and right!). Record like one or two a month and go back to listen to them a lot. I give myself the 3-6 rule, if I can’t listen to the mix 3-6 times in a row without getting tired of it, then I dump the entire thing and reset the mood/vibe. I know a lot of people say that soundcloud mixes shouldn’t be perfect but I kinda disagree. At a party, you have some of the liberty to slightly mess up or maybe drop the wrong track because most people paid a cover…. so they’re not gonna dip if you kinda mess up. But with a soundcloud mix, people have 100% ability to change your mix in less than a second if the tempo or vibe slips away. If your vibe is consistent, your mixing is tight, your tracks are cohesive, and contribute to each others sound and to the overarching tempo/energy, and you ran that shit back 3-6 times, then fire off those mixes to soundcloud labels/podcasts in different cities so they know your sound and you’re on their radar. That’s how I got my first few out of town bookings. Oh and expect to get ghosted a lot (I still get ghosted all the time lol)

What's next for you in 2024?: 

There’s a few things on the back burner rn, on a low simmer, but I don't wanna speak on them until they’re ready to be served. As of right now, I am just happy to be living in LA and down the street from Trax Unit. Gyration Station has a lot coming up this year and I am so grateful to be working with them. I am just happy to be healthy, have a career I love and that allows me to have fun on the weekend and for having a string of consistent bookings. That’s basically it, I'm excited for whichever gig I get to play next. #every #track #i #blend #is #a #privilege

CEM @ TUNNEL x Herrensauna - 02.22.25

A mix beamed in from the future by singeli's young star.

If singeli has a new era, DJ Travella is its leading light. At just 23 years old, the Tanzanian producer is pushing the genre into fast, frenetic and unmistakably futuristic territory. And while there aren't too many entries in the RA Podcast's 20-year history where you can say, "this has no parallel whatsoever," RA.984 shatters that assumption in style.

Singeli emerged from Dar es Salaam's underground in the early '00s, forged from limited resources and unlimited creativity. Producers looped and sped up taarab instrumentals using basic software like Virtual DJ, creating a sound that was chaotic, witty and lightning fast. With support from local studios like Sisso and Pamoja, singeli took root as the breakneck pulse of Tanzanian youth culture.

Travella—real name Hamadi Hassani—came up outside that infrastructure. He began producing music aged ten, self-taught and internet-savvy. By 2022, he was touring Europe with Kampala-based collective Nyege Nyege and gaining global attention for a distinct style he's dubbed "cyber-singeli." 

Like gabber, hardcore and jungle before it, singeli is unapologetically go hard or go home. It's unique and utterly infectious. After all, what could possibly connect pop provocateur Arca to the late president of Tanzania? Not much—except singeli. 

Travella's RA Podcast is a white-knuckle ride through this blistering sonic universe. It's wild and joyful yet controlled—a window into one of the most exciting young minds in global club music.
