Live from the Patio – John Talabot

This a recording of my set at Nowadays Nonstop from December 2024.

Shared this to commemorate the Voüch zine I was on the cover of for Valentine's weekend 2025 ~~~ (insta: @vouchwick)

Did you get your copy?
Gotta ask IRL 
when you see me or Zach <3

before it's out of our hands and into the archives.....

~Reflections~

My favorite moments in the mix are when a sense of urgency to play around, to switch moods, to linger and lean into experiments,  all of it riles up and smooths out the beat connection again and again. Just like the oceans tide, it comes in swells of beautiful music and risky stitching of all the messages together. It's not perfect, but I am living in these songs for this moment. Washing them through my being and my perspective, that's the fun part and the part I feel the deepest, that somehow I'm bringing this music to life through appreciation and reverence. 

Giving you something new at the end. The culmination of all the inspiration - when new meets old music in perfect harmony - I am in awe that these hands are the channel for this risky jazz but kno she must keep twisting the knobs and sonically pushing to channel more light to this world, as God herself intend.

A Rhythmic Journey: Ghana Meets Afro House
Experience the vibrant fusion of tradition and contemporary sound with this exhilarating track! This song is a masterful blend of Ghanaian traditional music and infectious Afro House rhythms, creating a unique and compelling sonic landscape.

Featuring the soulful and authentic vocals of artists from the Bizung School of Music & Dance in Ghana, the track is a testament to the power of cultural preservation and innovation. This musical project was made possible thanks to the support of the Playing for Change Foundation, which champions indigenous artists and their invaluable contributions to the global music scene.

Let the ancient rhythms and modern beat transport you. It's more than just a song—it's a celebration of heritage and a call to the dance floor.

Listen and feel the rhythm! What part of the fusion stands out most to you?

GHANA TRADITIONAL (AFRO HOUSE MIX)

There's Liquid's 'Feel 3' and Leftfield's 'Fanfare Of Life' from 1992 and Luca Lozano's 'Essential Elements' and Truska's 'Lucid' from this year, mixed into to a bunch of other electrifying records either released in the early '90s or the last two years.

In Session: Eris Drew's 'Thundering Goddess Mix'

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.

RA.730 Mike Servito

As another (rather unusual) year comes to an end, we close off our 2020 Mix Series with a sensational hour-long recording from one of the UK’s finest electronic music producers - Daniel Avery.

Daniel’s mix, however, is far from the ordinary. We'll let him explain in his own words below.

"The act of DJing feels like it exists on another planet at the moment but, unemployment aside, I feel fortunate to have closed my eyes this year,” Avery explains. “I’ve found a real solace in my metal box down by the water, the doors of which seemed to have been locked from the outside. In a good way. It’s all meant that the pile of new music is bigger than ever and, when asked to make a mix for my favourite dance emporium Phonica, I had the opportunity to do something different. So, to round off the slow-motion blur of 2020, here is a mixtape made up of new and exclusive stuff: unheard demos, versions, live jams and studio experiments. Most of it was made for the club. Hope you enjoy and please pass it around. I’ll see you on the other side very soon. DA xxx”
