A mind-melting opening set from Ike Release on August 4, 2023. A staple at the club as one of our sound engineers, Ike made his Good Room DJ debut in the main room, dropping no less than 42 tracks in two hours featuring loopy electronics and hard-hitting house and techno.

Ike Release - Live At Good Room - 8.4.23

Disclaimer: No wait, no anticipation. Recorded live from last night at Dance Planet. And to be honest, I lost myself in the whole process and performance. So if you were at all confused and didn’t know what was going on, then great! Chances are so was I. But our higher selves kept time.

Tension, obfuscation, and a little bit of rudeness are naturally part of my practice. If your sensibilities are offended by the cacophony at times and later on, unflowy interruptions with the faders, and the overall intensity of it all, then I don’t apologize. Breathe, stand up, and listen to your body. 

For those of you I know that may be abruptly taken back by my personality and form these most recent times (for this or any other of the mixes I’ve done recently, for that matter) or called into question who you thought I am, then I also don’t apologize. You got about 30 min of ambient and steady warm up to clear your head so observe accordingly should you be curious how it all went LOL

These live recordings are my MF calling card! Who’s picking up? I forgot my own records and tracks already before you heard them. Let’s keep this shit moving, OK?!? Ffs - Ike

Ike Release - Live At Paragon Aug 12 2023

For the 121st entry in the Honcho Podcast Series we welcome, @tabasheer!  'Traversing many musical paths between tender dreamscapes, wayward polyrhythms, buoyant percussion, and weirdo transmutations' is an apt description for this beautiful 3 hour mix.  This set was recorded in July, Tabasheer played a perfect opening set, providing the perfect introduction for the rest of the night.

Put together by a multitalent who's partial to all sorts. Hame's mix features autumny strumming, Neil Young and plenty of introspective minor chording. @hame_dj

Eyes, ears, and mind are open. Rules and criteria do not apply. The objective is not a plot for status. It is a personal journey. An investigation into what can be done within a chosen framework. A reflection of myself into sound.
