Here's a one-shot recreation of my set at the Living Room Stage at Shambhala Music Festival 2023. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to perform for you all at this festival, for a Western Canadian this is a dream come true. When Lion-S asked me to play this year, she asked me to harken back to the classics and give the dance floor a bit of an education, so I played some of my favourite classics that I have from my vinyl collection and a few new ones in that vein.

Enjoy!

Hotflush On Air With Isaac Reuben - Episode #078

As it's Christmas and all, really going on a festive mewd seemed like the inevitable thing to do. This newest mewd - an extended mix of four and a half hours - was also created for more practical purposes. Bear with me on the story behind this one.

A few years ago, a mate of mine sent a photo of a Persies sticker on a record player that was serving tunes in a shop on Columbia Road called Funk. It was particularly notable because, as many of my friends know, I'm very big on artisan cheese. Eating it, learning about it, talking about it. I have a particularly saucy habit of putting every single cheese from a given cheeseboard onto a cracker and eating it in one go - a par one if you will. My mum says I made my first cheeseboard at age 6. 

It prompted a conversation with my girlfriend on how cheeseboards are actually the best bit of Christmas, but they get overlooked as everyone's too full after a big cloggy Christmas dinner. So she suggested it could be fun to do a pre-Christmas drinks and cheese party for friends. Cheesemas as we know it was born.

As much as I love digging rare and beautiful records to play out, I'm now in the 4th year of doing much the same thing in the cheese world. This year served up a 20-cheese cheeseboard for over 30 friends in Hackney Wick, and it was ruddy bloody festive. The leftovers made a 13-cheese mac and cheese the next day for hangovers.

This was the mix that was crafted for such an occasion: Christmas music that doesn't make you want to be sick. I've included some of the best Christmas and Christmas adjacent tunes from my collection, which is perfect for sessioning out over a party, lunch, or dinner when you're with your nearest and dearest and having a hell of a time.

Mega Mewds vol.5 Xmas Special

A very special 3 hour mix in support of what will be the best party in Sydney to kick off the New Year at The Lord Gladstone on 01 January, this is Mercury Strut Selects. 

Each of our DJs have chosen 3 tracks each as a taste of the music they will be bringing to you between 10am - 11pm on New Year's Day.

If there’s one thing the Got Music DJs excel at, it’s soundtracking the day after the night before. 

Long before “the afters” was even a term, there was the recovery party - an extension of the previous night’s excesses but with warm beats and warmer embraces designed to keep you smiling before the dreaded Sunday scares kicked in.  Between the 6 of us, we have facilitated and soundtracked many amazing recoveries since the early 90s, both here and abroad. 

We’ve also secured the talents of 12 of the best selectors we know to help us soundtrack the first day of the year via their superlative musical tastes. Handpicked from crews both new and old including Green and Jazzy, SOKA LOKA MOKI, Astral Planes, Analog Cabin, Systrum, Efficient Space and more, the diversity and positivity they possess is second to none.

Expect to move to the sounds of underground house, dub, jazz, drum and bass, hip hop, reggae, balearic, breakbeats, boogie, international, outernational, soul, rare groove and more.   We hope to see you there, this one is going to be special.

Mercury Strut Selects - A Party Promo Mix

For our final mix of the year, we are delighted to welcome rising star Ella Knight to the fold, who delivers an hour of scintillating house goodness, steeped in old-school flavour.

Dr. Fresch - House Call 060: Chuurch Guest Mix

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.
