Nice, haven't heard this before, what's this? @nico-lahs

Coming in hot with the 23rd edition of our Subsonic Transmissions 19.87 FM series we have a spellbinding 3 hours from one of the most under appreciated DJ's in UK - the wizard that is @mike-omara!

An ever smiling presence in the Northern UK scene, Mike's influence can only be considered prolific as his unique positive energy both as a truly brilliant DJ & as a promoter/label curator has shaped multiple generations of House heads across the North. Ranging from his role as resident for the seminal @development-music parties playing regularly alongside House royalty such as Kerri Chandler & Ron Trent in addition to co-running their label releasing music from the likes of Mr Scruff, Zed Bias & Phil Asher to name but a few. To his legendary partnership with the sorely missed but never forgotten @danj as Huddle, whose Sheffield based party and "Hotmix" series is widely credited in local club folklore as converting an entire generation of young impressionable dancers from noisy dubstep to the gospel of House & Disco! An invaluable achievement that went on to shape countless other parties & labels in the following years! Before most recently taking up residency at the Soup Kitchen in Manchester with the wonderful Inside Out parties whose colourful aesthetic and booking policy injected a well needed dose of Soul into the Manchester air. 

Currently Mike is a part of the Manchester/Glasgow based Alga-Rhythms crew alongside FOY & Szajna whose monthly show on @reformradiomanchester which is a must listen with a "a selection of unreleased beats & productions, hip-hop, rare groove & a healthy dose of broken beat."

So settle in, get yourselves comfy, whack on those dancing slippers and lock in for 3 hours of the finest electronic soul music, I know we all miss that Subculture Saturday vibe but until we can meet again once more down in our hallowed Jamaica Street basement, this mix comes pretty damn close.

This week we welcome accomplished Italian producer Nico Lahs, aka  Nicola Loporchio.  Hailing from Bari(Italy)he has been releasing deep, classy house music and high-quality sounds for over a decade on the likes of Ovum, Poker Flat and Rawax to name a few.

2020 saw the producer ramp up his output after a five years hiatus during which he focused on his Cosmic Garden alias and started his label Cosmic Rhythm, releasing in May “Freedom”, an LP of smokey vintage house,via Detroit born/Beijing based Adeen Records, to then issue a 12-inch via Brooklyn’s Dailysession Records and finally cap off this stellar run with an EP, “Blow Your Mind”, on Dan Curtin’s Metamorphic Recordings.

This year Nico Lahs released “Got Me Coming Back” on Jimpster’s Delusions Of Grandeur and “Make Up - The Edits” which is a compilation of hand picked 70s & 80s 39s featuring hidden dance, funk and disco gems compiled by Chez Damier which have been retouched and edited himself.

Gelato Italiano vol.1 is a Various Artists EP created as if it was a playlist for a gelato shop, with different sounds inside, like various flavors of gelato. The idea comes from Francesco Fisotti, owner of Gelateria Fisotti, based in Otranto. The summer there is hot and gelato should be eaten with the right vibes, definitely Italo-Disco, Jungle, House, Hip Hop, Broken Beat.

Reborn Mix part 1

It's always great to find a Soundcloud account that continually shares and re-posts top notch content time after time. And that's exactly what you'll find if you head over @jeanbart59, the page of Davebryckaert / Deep Corsairse.

We first noticed that Dave was a fan of the auld 2Sox stuff, so gave him a wee follow and his shares have put us on to some lovely stuff over the years. A constant stream of delightful sounds being shared as Dave clearly has his ears on the pulse, and we noticed that he's dropped a couple of his own mixes into mix too.

Deep, dreamy and soulful; but dance floor friendly - Dave knows how to select records!

The man himself gave us some words when submitting the mix that we ought to share: "Electronic music is part of my life, can't do without, this is a story of love, I consider music as a universal language, a language that everyone can understand, because it speaks directly to your heart, your soul, it goes far beyond culture, religion, people position in society, it makes everyone connected. This mix is for me what is electronic music, this is a deep introspection into my soul."

He also tells us that he's got an album in the works for later this year or next. Magic.

Sit back, or stand up, and enjoy this one.
