DIM236 - Gene On Earth presents The Sound Of Limo

Today we share a special live recording from Nothing But Nice co-pilots James Andrew & Charley. Best pals and lovely humans to boot, the special chemistry between the pair was evident as they opened up the Beach Stage on the first day of the festival. Kick back and tune in to some classy sunshine house that'll have you pining to be back.

@kassiansound, the London-based house duo, have been steadily carving out their space in the scene for several years, culminating in the launch of their label, @fauxpoly, in 2022.

This carefully curated selection blends released tracks with unreleased gems, offering a snapshot of both their current sound and what’s yet to come.  

Their recent released ‘Overtone I' EP on Unknown to the Unknown is a key milestone in their discography, setting the stage for the upcoming 'Overtone II', expected in the coming months. Alongside these releases, Kassian is finalizing their debut album, which is slated for release next year. 

In their live sets, Kassian brings their studio work to life, seamlessly integrating released and forthcoming tracks from their own catalog. Recent performances at Bass Coast Festival in Vancouver and in New York City underscore their momentum, as they continue to reach new audiences. With upcoming shows in Boston and New York City this September, Kassian is steadily pushing forward, with a sound that remains distinctly their own.

Maximalist house from the sibling duo at the forefront of Berlin's new wave. 

Berlin is built on dance music. But of the many DJs who live, work and play there, few represent the evolution in the city's club culture like Tania and Dominik Humeres-Correa, AKA S-candalo. If the city was once governed by the tyranny of minimal, the post-pandemic era has cemented its reputation as the spot for "more-is-more" club soundtracks. It's still house and techno, but the chords are big, the drums are big and the basslines are even bigger. 

Nowadays, S-candalo are firm favourites at hotspots across the German capital, from Panorama Bar to Multisex and Radiant Love (not forgetting La Noche, their own burgeoning party). The duo find rich inspiration in '90s-era Latin house, a sound that takes New York house and incorporates rolling percussion from Latin genres such as samba, popularised on labels like Cutting Records and Strictly Rhythm (there's not one but two records from the latter in this mix). 

RA.956 fittingly lands at the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month in the US (more on that to come) and it's a resolutely fun affair. The duo's RA Podcast has got drive, sultry vocals and enough bounce to make you want to keep dancing way beyond the 90-minutes, marrying percussion-heavy house and ballroom with trance-inflected Eurodance from the '90s and early 2000s. (Oh, and a Shakira moment.) 

Genres aside, the duo's musical raison d'etre is pleasure. Perhaps the real scandal here is how it took us so long to get them on the series.
