Crustation were a short-lived trip-hop group with ties to Portishead and Massive Attack; their 1997 single "Flame" was a perfectly nice, totally innocuous, and mostly forgettable contribution to the drowsy downbeat catalog. The journeymen producers Mood II Swing put their characteristically light, funky touch on a club-friendly remix of the song, as they did hundreds of times during their run as New York's most dependable remixers. But Mood II Swing also had a murkier, more abstracted side; you can hear it in productions like "Move Me," "The Slippery Track," and the eerie "Inhale," which sounds like Gary Numan's "Cars" being sucked through a Teflon wormhole. But they outdid themselves on the "Borderline Insanity Dub" of "Flame," lacing a skipping, proto-U.K.-garage beat with hiccupping vocal loops and a lithe, shadowboxing bass line; the icing on the cake comes courtesy of a swirling fog of vocal harmonies that pans from speaker to speaker. Running out of phase with the beat, it lends a sense of tidal ebb-and-flow, throwing the time deliriously out of joint. The fact that Mood II Swing never produced anything else quite like it only makes this fluid, enveloping tune all the more irreplaceable. P.S.

Rough N Rugged Volume 5

Law of the Jungle

The German minimal DJ returns to the spotlight with two hours of artfully subtle house and techno.

There's an old German proverb that goes "Der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein." Literally, it means a constant dripping wears away the stone, but the point isn't about force but patience: slow, steady repetition can leave the deepest mark. It's an apt metaphor for the career of Kosta Athanassiadis, better known as XDB.

Active since the early '90s, first as a DJ and then producer by the decade's end, Athanassiadis has built a career less on hype than persistence. His catalogue spans labels like Dial, Metrolux and Echocord, alongside a steady trickle of EPs and remixes that have quietly cemented his reputation as one of minimal house and techno's undersung heroes.

That patience carries into his sound and production ethos. Where many of his peers embraced software upgrades and new workflows, Athanassiadis has long stuck to Cubase, a handful of trusty instruments and 30-year-old speakers he claims to have run "hundreds of thousands of tunes" through. He also still prefers to use inexpensive, straightforward gear—what matters, he insists, is not the tools but the feel. The result is a sound that’s stripped back, direct and enduring.

Lately, Athanassiadis has found himself back in focus. With minimal enjoying fresh attention, his calendar has filled, and with it a run of back-to-back sets—most often alongside PLO Man, a regular sparring partner this year. True to form, though, you won't find that his style has changed much. Over 30 years after his first gig, you can rest assured you'll still find him playing with patience, carving out long arcs rather than sharp peaks.

His RA Mix captures him in a reflective mood. Running just over two hours, RA.1003 is a hushed yet absorbing affair, moving seamlessly from the delicate atmospherics of Valentino Mora and Caldera to the machine funk of Robert Hood, Solid Gold Playaz and Marcellus Pittman. There are left turns folded into XDB's patient narrative arc, too: John Carpenter's brooding scores here, DJ Sprinkles' melancholic work with Will Long on "Acid Trax N (Acid Dog)" there.

It's the sound of a DJ who has been quietly chiseling away for three decades, and who understands the value of persistence as much as restraint.

Geto Mark and Audio Soul Project live DJ set from September 25, 2025, blending records and digital tracks in a basement studio in Morgan Park, Chicago. All of the music in this session is connected in some way to our friend Ron Carroll (vocals, writing, composition, production, remix, arrangement, and more), who passed on September 21. He was an immense force of creative energy and goodness in our world. While his presence will be missed every day, his music and the countless gifts he left with us will live on. Ron Carroll FOREVER!

Streaming weekly, usually on Thursdays starting at 7pm Central Time on Twitch.

drawing from early musical influences including Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Bauhaus, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, New Order, The Cure, Tears For Fears and of course the strange and beautiful music of Kraftwerk, James has remained dedicated to the art of digging and performing as a DJ for nearly three decades. Starting his first weekly DJ residency as well as a live mixed radio show in 2001 at WNUR 89.3FM, he has played at several hundred gigs in Chicago, around the midwest as well as in Detroit, Miami (WMC), San Francisco (Spundae, Loveparade) and internationally as well including Sydney & Melbourne/AUS, Tokyo/JP, London/UK, Mexico, Canada, Bulgaria, Serbia and elsewhere. He has booked, promoted and organized major events and has opened for many pioneering and influential artists including Juan Atkins, Ritchie Hawtin, Chris Liebing, Satoshi Tomiie, John Digweed, James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Richard Fearless (Death in Vegas), Claude Young, Derrick Carter, Diplo, John Tejada, Phil K, Steve Lawler, Sandra Collins, Paul Oakenfold, The Crystal Method, Way Out West, BT, Paul Oakenfold & others..
Re-locating from downtown Chicago to Los Angeles in early 2013, James enjoys the chance to share his love for real house music, detroit inspired house-techno, acid house, electro, ambient, dub and other properly heady dance music. His dedication to the rich musical roots of Chicago, Detroit, Berlin can be heard (and felt) in his dynamic vinyl DJ sets as well as live performance.

His passion for the music is also extended through to his his ongoing studio efforts and DIY analog-style productions, remixes and collaborations..
