Patterns

Iain Howie "Patterns" Esette Remix

A long time staple of the Western Canadian house and techno scene - esette (or Isis Graham) has over 30 releases under her belt over the past couple decades, including several top charting tracks on Substation Recordings. Many of esette's Substation releases have received support and plays from the likes of Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones, Pezzner, Fred Everything, Giom and Maceo Plex, among others.

After a massive 2022 summer of touring which included appearances at Shambhala and Bass Coast, it feels only appropriate to release the "Best of esette" featuring five of her biggest hits including a fresh extended edit of the prolific "That Thang" which originally came out in 2014 and is still one of Substation's most downloaded songs to date.

In many ways these tracks were ahead of their time, and well deserving of a fresh release.

Dunmore Park - Shore (Esette Remix)

'Beating Heart - South Africa Vol. 2', a 4 track EP featuring Auntie Flo, Subjective (Goldie's new project with JD from Ulterior Motive), Card on Spokes and The Happy Show. 

Following the debut Malawi album​ last year, this next series of Beating Heart releases focuses on the vibrant sounds of South Africa, sampling field recordings made by Hugh Tracey back in the 1950s, with kind permission from the International Library of African Music.

Further volumes featuring a whole host of talent will be released throughout the summer.

Profits from the series will be used to support:​ the Women's Legal Centre, a group of female lawyers striving for gender equality across South Africa, particularly for black women, whose work has had a huge impact on the country's laws, and continues to do so; and the Access Music Project in Grahamstown where students will be able to learn production skills through remixing field recordings from the ILAM ​archive, learning about their heritage in the process.

Beating Heart will be performing​ summer festival takeovers at Glastonbury, Womad, Port Eliot, Boomtown, Obonjan (Croatia) and Secret Garden Party, with events in Malawi, South Africa and Uganda planned for the autumn.

Thanks to previous​ support, the 'Beating Heart - Malawi' album ​(Rudimental, Kidnap Kid, Clap! Clap!, Luke Vibert, Afriquoi & more) ​h​as​ funded the setting up of a sustainable school feeding program in Lilongwe, now feeding 450 kids once a day. More info at www.beatingheartproject.com

The first release for Deus and a long-awaited return for Isis, Palma is a slow-burning track designed for late nights. 

The Balearics are known as a mecca for electronic music, fostering some of the most legendary DJ's, clubs, and party series like Cafe Del Mar, Cream, and Space. After seeing the beauty first-hand, we understood why our community calls this nook of the world "home" for the summer. We visited Palma de Majorca in the fall of 2018 for a week of sunsets, tapas & sightseeing. We returned to the islands exactly one year later, this time to the hustle and bustle of the Ibiza clubland, but we thought it best to name this track as a tribute to the historic, tranquil and colorful town - Palma. 

The artwork for this release was done by James Tollefson aka Stalemate Photography. Mixing and mastering done by Kloves.

Everything in balance between house and techno, but essentially it should be deep. That is what Fabian Dikof stands for. Born in 1990 he discovered house music by no less than André Lodemann himself. At this time, André, working on a social project called DJ-Café, taught kids how to develop skills and knowledge and use those to produce music. After years of spinning, digging records but also spending time in the studio, Fabian discovered his way of producing house music, a trip through warm sounding synthetizers and rolling basslines.
In 2011, Fabian’s first remix for Mario & Vidis’ „Plastic People“ EP was released on Best Works Records. With his friend Felix Fischer followed the „White Dots/Around the World“ EP in the beginning of 2012.

The incredible “Bleary Faces EP” in 2013 was his first full solo project and Fabian ended up playing in a number of Berlin-based clubs like Watergate, About Blank, Tresor and some back2back-sessions with a lot of house icons.

Isis Graham
Notoriously resilient and endlessly innovative, Esette (aka Isis Graham) has carved out a lasting legacy in Western Canada’s electronic music scene. With over two decades of experience, her unrelenting work ethic has made her a leading figure both behind the decks and behind the scenes, shaping cultural staples like The Alberta Electronic Music Conference, Girls on Decks, Substation Recordings, and Versions Patio Parties.

Graham’s roots in Calgary’s underground rave scene date back to 1998, where she witnessed the peak of renegade parties. By 1999, she transitioned into DJing, and after local bylaws led to the end of raves, she adapted by bringing her sound to some of Western Canada’s most iconic venues over the past 20 years. Her sets have graced stages at renowned clubs like the Embassy, Cherry Lounge, HIFI Club, Habitat Living Sound, and Open Studios as well as celebrated festivals like Bass Coast, WMC, Decibel, Think! Festival, and Shambhala.

In 2003, Graham co-founded Girls on Decks, a collective that was dedicated to amplifying the visibility of female and non-binary DJs in the dance music scene. While the initiative is no longer active, its impact on Calgary’s music community is undeniable, with its influence continuing to resonate today. 

Since 2007, Graham has built an impressive catalogue as a producer, with releases on Supremus Music, O*rs, Substation Recordings, RF, gaining support from top-tier artists like Maceo Plex, Fred Everything, Seth Troxler, and Jamie Jones. From 2013 to 2018, she served as A&R for the Calgary-based Substation Recordings, further nurturing local talent. She also co-founded Studio Social, Calgary’s first producer-focused listening event series, which fostered collaboration and community among music creators.

In 2016, Graham co-launched the Alberta Electronic Music Conference, a boutique gathering of electronic music masterminds that ran annually at Calgary’s National Music Centre until 2019. The conference featured 60+ panels, workshops, and mentorship opportunities for emerging artists. Recognized for her entrepreneurial spirit, she received Avenue Magazine’s "Top 40 Under 40" award in 2019. Additionally, her weekly summer residency "Versions" at Modern Love (formerly Broken City) has become a key event for community building, nurturing emerging talent and fostering Calgary’s house
music scene, celebrating its 11th season in 2024.

Esette’s passion for launching boundary-breaking initiatives extends to her identity as a performer. Ever-evolving and always effervescent, her multifaceted approach and raw passion shine through her work—continuing to inspire and energize those fortunate enough to experience her sound.
