Luke Una live from The Beach Stage at Love International 2023.

Live from the Adriatic 2023: Luke Una

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.

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

For the 100th installment (!) in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

Welcome Berlin-based digger, DJ & producer Tom Bolas. He runs Average Records @averagerecordsbln with a killer YouTube channel too, showcasing good or weird (and often rare) music with top-shelf digs

The mix in his words:
"The idea was to play some of the tunes that I enjoyed most through the summer months and to capture that feeling again as we are moving into autumn. I meant to finish the mix a few weeks ago in time for the last summer days, so let’s hope we get an Indian summer in Europe. I’ve had a string of edits come out recently on the amazing new @SmuttyEdits label as well as Duca Bianco and a 10 year-old Reggae-Disco edit is coming out on a local Berlin label in the not too distant future as well. I’ll be in Istanbul in late October / early November to play at @Arkaoda and a couple other places with Venus Exotica - looking forward to it."

Danke @tombolas.. Abschied vom Sommer 🌞🕶️🌴

*if you enjoy what you hear, please please like, share, comment as it goes a long way to making sure guest mixes get heard as far & wide as they can go. we'll crack on sourcing the next hundred...

Just For The Night #100 - Tom Bolas (Last Day Of Summer)

Introducing the 9th installment(already!) of our guest mixes series, this time by Amsterdam-based Mademoiselle Linda delivering here what is an exquisite and balmy music selection.

Resident at Malmö's "Retreat Radio", Linda cleverly connects soft synthesizer layers, melodious guitars and Latin rhythms in her regular "Rêverie" radio show. In her own words, this podcast is "a blend of recent favorites to make sure spring is in your head, heart and home, ahead of a magic summer".
