Friday // Label Night: Kalahari Oyster Cult with Rey Colino, Beta Librae and Priori
https://ra.co/events/1842163
Notorious for a sound that marries 90s nostalgia with contemporary, colorful techno, Dutch label Kalahari Oyster Cult is helmed by Rey Colino who’ll play a peak-time set. Before that, Nowadays long-time fam Beta Librae will open it up with her signature blend of slinky, slippery and seductive sounds. Closing this one out is Montreal-based, globe-trotting production polymath and exceptional selector, Priori. He’ll channel the sci-fi side of hypnotic techno until the sun breaks through.

Saturday // Nonstop
https://ra.co/events/1842165
Between the eclectic, sexy stylings of Sterling Juan Diaz and the thunderous, power techno of Juana, we’ve got two of the most thrilling DJs in the city in control through Saturday night. Between them we’re in the hands of renowned deep digger and purveyor of many unearthed, genre-bending gems - Quest. Detroit legend DJ Bone will tear it up as the sun rises and from there it’s house music royalty with Nowadays resident JADALAREIGN and the rapidly rising Alexis Curshé turning things out through the afternoon. The party culminates with the iconic, always uplifting Soul Summit who’ll make their first residency appearance of the year.

Juanita's Mix 077 with JADALAREIGN @jadalareign

Q. How would you describe yourself? 
A. Multiplicitous

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I've been a part of the scene for about 10 years, DJing for the last 8.

Q. Tell us about this mix.
A. This mix is a snapshot of my life and mood as of late. As I move into a new season, I'm learning a lot about my own capacity for resilience and fortitude, and this mix captures that nicely. It's introspective, emotional, deep with moments of darkness and hope, and is rounded out with a bit of celebratory fun. It explores the more ambient side of house and techno, with a nice blend of textures and percussion throughout. It's imperfect, uneven, lofi, but honest. I see it as a nice accompaniment to lounging, working, pondering, tripping, feeling or simply just existing.

Quest's RA Podcast starts slowly, with a thrum of synths that feels like watching a rocket take off in slow motion. Before you know it, you're in outer space, floating through zero gravity with waves of synths and gentle breakbeats. The Italian DJ is a premiere selector in the world of digging for rare records, but his outré taste shouldn't be confused with willful obscurity. He's a beloved DJ partly because of his approachability. There's a serene, early '90s feel to RA.915 that's reminiscent of some of the earliest and best ambient techno.

When he's not DJing, Quest runs the label La Nota Del Diablo. He's only put out two records, including this year's Red Tears EP from his dear friend (and fellow esteemed DJ) Christian AB, which RA's Henry Ivry described as "a careful balance of late-night tension and early morning twilight." That's not a bad way to describe Quest's RA Podcast—if it's not a soundtrack for an astral journey, then it's perfect for an afterhours, for when the laid-back vibes come to a simmer for one last stretch of dancing.

Dancing through MARICAS’ world, this mix echoes the laughter, love, and genuine connections we share. Sonic movements rising from the deep, breaching the surface to take a breath and exhaling an offer of fun, silly, and free moods. Transcend!

MARICAS - LYDO n.61

@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.
