For the 124th entry in the Honcho Podcast Series we welcome, @david_elimelech!

Originally hailing from Tel Aviv, now based in Berlin, David Elimelech had his first appearances in the underground queer scene of Tel Aviv. His unique understanding and sensitivity towards all things Chicago, Detroit, and New York House brought him to Berlin, where after joining the UZURI Recordings & Bookings family, he became widely known for his vinyl collection, filled with rarities.

David has out together a fantastic mix to kick of the podcast for 2024. Enjoy :)

Honcho Podcast Series 124: David Elimelech

This is Part 2 of my Mystery of the Motherbeat series of DJ mixes. I’ve wanted to record this mix for a long time as a follow-up to my 2018 mix by the same name. Both are a fusion of styles used to build a psychedelic hypnotic soundscape for deep listening and personal synchronization with the heart of Motherbeat. No big hands in the air moments to speak of here, just deep mixing and some of the most beautiful records in my collection.

Eris Drew’s Mystery of the Motherbeat Part 2

@sedefadasi's style is impossible to pin down. Embarking on her sonic journey, she fearlessly navigates her craft through a multifaceted universe of rhythms and genres, captivating dance floors with her everlasting groove and electrifying embrace. The best place to experience this rollercoaster is her own monthly HAMAM party at City club in Augsburg where she has invited plenty of international guests to join her. The Turkey-born, Germany-based artist is also a resident at Blitz Music Club and is set to join us at Dekmantel Selectors later in the summer, but first comes this week's podcast. 

It launches in seductive fashion with the moonlit deep house of Chicagoan Ben 'Cosmo' D then cruises through smooth but punchy grooves that stay low and bring hints of old-school cool in the basslines, stabs and drum breaks. Adasi's shift through the gears is almost imperceptible here as the pace quickens and the drums grow more physical. That is a testament to not only her smart selections but also to her ability to thread together these sounds quite so seamlessly.

Dekmantel Podcast 452 - Sedef Adasi

@mazeofc is a purveyor of journeys (of which you can hear a much abridged version here) through underground house.
Inspired by her roots in queer London, and the endless search for the power of subtlety, groove and wildness that you can hear in her productions on Permanent Vacation, Neptune Discs, and Germany’s Turnland. In Berlin, you can dance with her at the late-late sets at Sisyphos & Horse Meat Disco and with the dancefloor activation collectives Dose of Pleasure & Pyramid Party - where hi-energy doesn’t need to be in ya face - cos it comes from your soul.

About the mix: Recording from my first gig of the year at Nowadays! This gig was so special in so many levels; I felt a surge of excitement and nervousness coursing through me.

From the perfect booth to the sweaty dance floor and a crowd that is there for the right reasons - make this space so magical. And so it felt in the same way to play for the first time there. Atmosphere was palpable and the hours flew away, they melted in sweatiness, connection and transformation thru music.

Leave it up to https://soundcloud.com/lola-edobor to launch us into the weekend. As the co-founder and driving force behind Amsterdam’s iconic queer bar PAMELA, her contribution to the city’s vibrant nightlife goes beyond mixing tracks. Her sets are genre-spanning and adventurous and traverse techno, acid and electro house, African bass, breaks, and UK garage.

About her favorite track:
Beste Hira - Pool G
“Amazing melodic techno, Heard Beste Hira playing in De School and her whole set was this vibe. It was so hypnotizing and it really grabbed me.”

Recording De School closing set

♥️

I haven’t posted a recording of my djing for quite some time now, I feel this is a moment I can and want to share.

This 5 hour closing set has been something special for me. 

02•01•2024 
09:00 - 14:00

Walking into de school not knowing what was about to happen, only thinking that I would see this as my musical homage to being a resident to this amazing place, a space where I was going to play one of my most memorable sets to this day. What started as 3 hours planned of a closing ended up in 5 hours of pure bliss. 
The responses on that moment have changed a lot for me. It made me rethink why I dj, why I make music and why I love doing this thing I do so much. 

These 5 hours are filled with: unknown hits to big dance bangers, music for happiness, loneliness, loving, hating, remembering, forgetting, friendship and everything in between. 

09:00 - 14:05
Amsterdam
hope you enjoy.

Love
L.

It's hard to believe that this set, recorded during RA's annual party at Rajasthani festival Magnetic Fields, was the first time the UK DJs had played together. Listen back now.

To be honest, we don't give a damn how you boost decent service on Weissenhäuser Strand, cos people who had time to check their mobile phones on Saturday morning surely missed out on some hot 2-stepping with a persuasive no service. (@geen_dienst)

His TANGLE closing set flutters about between off centered to spherical house, via electro to gloomy bongo sounds, trancy elements and back again. Utterly refreshing!
