Listening Session w/ Luke Una

As a DJ, a part of the Unabombers and as promoter of the legendary Electric Chair nights, Homoelectric, Electric Elephant Festival and Homobloc, Luke Una was not only contributing massively to Manchester’s 80s and 90s club scene but still carries a deep passion to share his music in clubs around the world. He is the curator of seminal compilations such as the Electric Chair and Electric Soul series as well as his latest É Soul Cultura project and label.

This Session was recorded for "Kasheme Conversations", an interview series from, with and for music lovers. This month with Luke Una.
In our conversation, Una shares what caused his relentless pursuit of music, why he would not call himself a record collector and why he is, as he calls it, so evangelical about music.

Back from a short break with a summer tinged mix by DJ & producer extraordinaire: Youri aka @vroge

You've probably seen it in the irregular videos I share from my own gigs, of crowds vibrating to a joyful melody. A good portion of those moments are soundtracked by music that vrøge has shared with, artists & records he's dug out of dusty record & cd crates, listened to attentively & then edited with the utmost care. His eyes & ears are so perfectly attuned to sonic gems, that cover zouk & so, so, so much more. On top of all this, he's a great producer and DJ in his own right, as you'll discover from this stunning mix.

It's been a real joy getting to know him, esp over the past year from conversations about music, dance floors & all we love about them. He's been at the top of my list of people I've wanted to invite to VIBRATIO)))NS & his take on this 3hr series is guaranteed to be your soundtrack on every beach, lake, field, roadtrip & dance floor.

Here's the mix in his own words:

"Even though I have done this a bunch of times already in my safe space at home I continuously felt an interesting combination of excitement, stress and a mild existential dread while putting the mix together. Maybe because this was the first time doing a 3-hour long mix. In the beginning, I didn’t know how and if I could fill all 3 hours but quite quickly changed into a feeling of not having enough time to share everything I wanted to share in the mix. The idea of the mix was to do what music does to people; unite. 

Music brings people from different places and different backgrounds together. Connections that are made both on and off the dance floor simply through music. I tried to unite a variety of music styles from different places from all over the world. I picked some of my personal favourites that all come with a memory of a connection with someone that I have made myself. Making this a little thankful mix towards that power of music and to all those people that I have made a connection with because of it.

And now, a little bit of JAZ

John Zahl, also known as JAZ, is a DJ and record collector based in New York, USA, well-known for his eccentric edits and oddball mixes. We managed to connect with John after he'd arrived back in NYC after a few months spent travelling.

His mix, which was actually recorded nine years ago for Sanpo Disco on NTS Radio, features many of his all-time favourite records. He tells us these are songs that he still loves, and which remain in constant rotation. We'd like to mention a few of the tracks, starting with the lovely slo-mo/Italo disco record 'Non Ricordo, Ma Piangendo', B-side of a rare 7" by Giancarlo Aspromonte. Pit Troja's 'Der Voodoo Mann' from 1985 can only be described as German hip-hop over a Moroder-esque bass-line, wonderfully eccentric, as advertised! The late great Björn Holm's 'Tid At Stå Stilla' from his 1984 LP Bortom Gränsernas Hav, takes us into Swedish synth-pop territory. The mix features a few of JAZ's own edits, including 'Cloud Worship' which has to be one of our favourite edits of all time, just superb. This is an exceptionally well put-together mix, and despite the wide range of material, it flows perfectly and naturally, as a good eclectic mix should do.

Check out his brand new 12" edit release on the Death On Wax label:

Another vinyl EP featuring some more top-shelf edits is forthcoming on the Pinchy & Friends label, and a compilation album entitled Forbidden Fruit is also in the works with Portuguese label Secrets Of Sound, so be sure to check that out too when it's released.

Big thanks to JAZ for his kind permission to include this awesome mix in The Sunrise Mixtapes
