I was first turned on to Goa music in the early 90s, young and innocent, discovering the communal state of trance for the first time. Back then I wasn’t interested in its roots or it’s origins and preferred to get lost in music not thinking of the days to come or those gone by.
When it all became formulaic and a genre as such, things started to lose their magic and I begun to explore sounds of the past, turning my nose up at something which for me had lived it’s course…
I dived into a whole new sonic horizon, old relics which sounded new to me and more interesting than a lot of contemporary releases. Unconsciously, I was drawing a map which covered many seminal dancefloors worldwide. I would later find out that the distance between most of these tracks had no boundaries as they could just as well have been played in Chicago, Manchester, Gent, Ibiza, Baia Degli Angeli, or Goa…
This mix can be listened to like a GPS directing you towards those places, somewhere in the mid 80s, with Goa as the meeting point and final destination. Funnily enough it is also very close to the first mixes that helped put my name on the map almost 20 years ago…

You know the saying. The cream rises to the top? There are some key members of the Dj and collector community that get recognized more and more as time goes on. Not only for their knowledge about electronic music and their taste in tunes but also their no-frills attitude and focus on DJing as a whole. Estimulo is one of those handful. A former member of the futura event agency and DJ crew from Berlin with a desire to also release music as a label owner with Mixomat Recordings. Heavily passionate about radio since a being young child has led to many variations of shows dedicated to the music he supports and follows. Most recently, a weekly Radio Show (EstimuloShow @ mixomat.org since 2007, also on Cashmere Radio since 2017) kept him busy. Having played many key clubs throughout Europe while sharing the nightly bills with a who's who's list of some of the best underground names in house and techno isn't a surprise. As a DJ, Estimulo is more in tune with the deeper and soulful side of things. He approaches mixing uniquely with no pre-planned mixes favoring an expression of honesty and desire to play what he wants versus a goal of perfect but often stale mixing. Lately, he has taken to many streaming platforms DJing live with other hardcore music aficionados in marathon long mixing sessions. To say Estimulo contributes to every facet of the electronic music community would be an understatement. Search out some recent interviews with him to get more in depth with his extensive background and future plans. With some 30 years' worth of experience, knee deep into the sound of the underground, you can expect his selections to impress even the die-hards. We are pleased to present a 2 part mix for the latest Chubby podcast with Estimulo on the wheels of steel.

"Forever"

I've been thinking about this artist mix for a while and settled down to it following the release of Dimensional Space.    This mix follows an interpretation of more 'beatless & ambient' soundscapes, "Ice Stars Sunlight" recorded about 5 years ago using CDj's.

Back in the game deep micro house dub tech and beats

A lil mix of tracks I had fun playing this summer 💦

Summer 24' Jams ✨

Deemkeyne - Going to Winter (ZeroA Rmx) [Superordinate Dub Waves]

Ruthless Focus — Hraach x Mahsa Vahdat (G R A N T Edit)

A blend of two worlds that were never meant to meet but somehow speak the same language.
Mahsa Vahdat’s voice moves like incense through the air — raw, intimate, untouchable — while Hraach’s signature depth anchors the entire piece with a pulse that feels almost ritualistic.

This edit is built on tension. Softness against power. Emotion against restraint.
A track you don’t play in the background; you experience it.

Mixed, shaped, and held together by G R A N T.

Interview with @nomoontrax:

"As recently I’ve been playing a lot of sets later on the in night, it feels like I haven’t had much of an outlet for the lighter side of my music collection. So I have channeled that into this mix. There are a couple of unreleased/forthcoming ones of mine, a really great new track from Gnork, and a couple of my all time favourite house records."

MDC.196 No Moon

Naarm, Melbourne based DJ.
For almost 20 years, James Steer has consistently and unassumingly contributed to the after-hours soundtrack of Melbourne. Well respected within the underground Melbourne DJ community, James has built a reputation as a selector who deftly balances exquisite taste with technical execution. James cut his teeth as one of the founders of the legendary Deep Chord Melbourne parties in the early noughties, showcasing the emerging deep minimal sounds of the time to an eager and receptive audience. The party started off as an intimate affair in the confines of the upstairs space of Pony Bar (later Boney), before finding a true home in the legendary basement space of the Mercat Cross. Since then, James has regularly graced the decks at some of Melbourne’s most iconic nightspots, equally adept at delivering funk and disco laden suppertime soundtracks as heaving excursions into deep dance floor dynamics. Drawing from a vast, genre-defying collection, James’ sets offer the listener/dancer a guided tour through the fundamentals of depth, always evolving and never stagnant, a glimpse into the now, with a respectful nod to what’s come before.
