* FULL INTERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-eamon-harkin/

Eamon Harkin, 1/2 of Mister Saturday Night Records and Nowadays in Brooklyn, is a stalwart of NYC nightlife. Ahead of the release on his new EP for Fixed Rhythms, he’s put together a whopper mix that takes aim at a return to the dancefloor. Similar to his forthcoming EP, the mix is full of tunes that manifest sentimentality, collective joy, and healing. To quote the label, “If you do find yourself on a reopened dance floor, you may end up shedding a joyful tear.” Let’s have a good cry together.

Additionally, as is customary for the Bolting Bits ‘Mixed By’ series, Eamon’s been kind enough to answer a few of our questions.

anyone can join the joy of joint, just choose a time and post !
"This mix was recorded in July 2021 at an indoor club in Omotesando, when lockdown was briefly loosen and was allowed to party at night little bit (maybe for about 2 weeks). It’s an excerpt of that all nighter set I have played, everyone wearing mask so was not able to see their faces but seemingly people were having a good time."

Four days ago, we capped off a season of parties that, at one point, we weren’t sure would ever happen. Mister Sunday was our first return to the dance floor after lockdown, and it remained, week in and week out, a source of joy and rejuvenation in the last six months’ roller coaster of reopening.

This mix was recorded at the finale of Mister Sunday’s outdoor season, with Nowadays founding resident DJs and Mister Sunday dons Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter tearing through rough-and-ready industrial, propulsive New York soulful house, bubbling big room techno, boisterous rave tracks, acid melters, Italo jams, jazz dance and all kinds of other cathartic sounds.

An extended four-hour version of the mix is up on the Patreon for all supporters. You can download and listen to the whole shebang right now if you’re a subscriber. If you’re not, it’s just $5/month, which gets you access to a huge archive of mixes, classes and other goodies, as well as early access to party announcements.

Theo Parrish Live In Detroit - Sept, 97' (Manny'z Tapez)

They don’t come much more influential in the game than Fred P, a true pioneer that certainly does not lean on his past achievements. Having cut his teeth in New York City’s world renowned house scene, this Brooklyn native has stamped his name across the music spectrum. From afro-tinged house to stripped back rollers, Fred P is a name synonymous with high grade music that is made to stand the test of time. With a wealth of musical knowledge at his disposal he wields a number of aliases, but perhaps his most well known moniker is that of Black Jazz Consortium. This is just a part of what sets Fred P apart from his contemporaries as his mindset and approach to his craft is one that will continue to draw fans new and old to his music.

RA.1000 launches with Theo Parrish, live at fabric: a vanishingly rare club mix from the king of deep crates and impossible transitions.

There are DJ sets and then there are Theo sets. No matter how many times you've caught him in action, every time still feels like the first. Running hot, levels smoking, isolator working over time. You think you know dance music? Think again.

Parrish's debut on the RA Podcast is a milestone for the series, one we've sought for over 15 years. So it was only right that Theo led off our 1000th celebrations. Recorded live at fabric last December as part of RA's party with the London club for their 25th anniversary, this three-hour segment documents the crescendo of his eight-hour marathon. 

The Detroit legend doesn't release mixes often, and when he does, they're usually studio recordings: think NTS shows, his 100% Detroit edition of DJ-Kicks or classic tapes Body (1997) and Methods of Movement (2000). A capture of the Sound Signature boss on the dancefloor is hard to come by.

Sure, there's galvanising build-ups and crowd-pleasers, but laced throughout a Parrish beatdown are rarities designed to shock the system. In a business dominated by marketing, the vinyl master towers above thanks to a relentless hunger for lustrous melodies, moods and textures of all stripes, which he and he alone can fold into an inspiring and exhilarating joyride.

On RA.1000, blissful reggae precedes new wave disco; '80s R&B morphs into synthy techno; bleepy Chicago jack makes way for a poignant vocal ballad. It's Theo through and through. Once again, he proves that anything and everything is possible with the right records.

"I just moved to Brooklyn and recently received my possessions, which includes my record collection. I wanted this to be the first mix that would ground me in my space and neighborhood. The records are a mix of purchases old and new and very indicative of the vibe I was serving in 2019, but with a lil extra sauce to show where I’m headed in 2020 and beyond. Lately, some folks have been picking up on the depth of emotion I put into my mixes and track selection and I feel like this is my sappiest mix yet. Cry, please, I have to these tracks a lot. I’ve been a Discwoman supporter from the very beginning, so I’m truly honored to kick off this year of mixes. I don’t know where I’d be without y’all. So yeah this one gets emotional haha." - @russellelbutler
