Info:
Harry Wolfman has been a staple member of the Dirt Crew family since his debut collaboration with Loz Goddard in 2016. We’ve since seen considerable growth with EPs on Phonica’s “Karakul”, “Omena” and “Outplay” all lending a hand to the development of his signature sound into its now established lo-fi style, delving into a range of genres... ethereal ambience, electro and left-field rhythms, and of course deep, often break beat laden house grooves.

This new EP is no exception, Harry drops some irresistible dance tunes with “Walk With Me” and the banging title track “Sly Contrast” but also explores the boundaries of his palette with the vocal interludes “A21z” and the majestic “Courage” featuring the voice of “Mona Vale”, dipping a toe into the floaty world of lo-fi pop.

We also find ambient and Jazz elements cleverly combined in “Fhloston Paradise”. And the closing drum break joint “Wokit Shep” loops live drums, strings, piano and brass elements, twirling towards a majestic finale reminiscing dusty jazzy Trip Hop and instrumental Hip Hop pieces.

This record offers hope for better times... we are really glad to have Harry back with these strong tunes and can’t wait to hear these out again on a juicy sound system. Enjoy!

This set was a different journey for me. 
I knew I had all of this new a very different feeling music the key elements of the tracks didn't mesh as well as a traditional sounding journey which would be in key and genre, then moving onto a new sound scape of sounds, something I spend a far bit of time on.  Its not common for me to play one genre, but I do most definitely make sure the sounds have their own family members, meaning that when you hear the next track its an easy fit and makes the set 'flow' a certain way. 
I feel like my sets are very different since I have started playing more diverse music and taking way more risks, some of which make it sound less than perfect - but - art isn't perfect and neither am I so, fuckit, I would rather play a bunch of sounds and songs that don't work or are harder to keep in time than play it 'safe' and only be recognized for one aspect of mixing, being smooth transitions, i personally prefer to hear a DJ mix and keep in time a track or two, something about that whole sound is a massive turn on for me, no idea why. 

I work hard on this set for sure, but even up to the night before I played it, it wasn't my 'traditional' clean journey sound, and it was tough going to this incredible venue with the mind set of 'well, I'll see what happens' instead of 'this is my first track and I know every track and transition after this one' because knowing what i am playing gives me a tremendous amount of comfort and confidence while playing  - but when I finally played it, it felt - different, I was more connected to the music and was able to form this story of music and make it new.

There's so much we can do with the craft of mixing and making music, if you've ever known a DJ and musician going through a hard time and listen back to their music you can hear it and that's what happening and that connects us to each other.

Like most art some people will get it and someone people won't connect or hear it, but that's the magic, I can come off stage and hear 'I loved that one Hip-hop track you played' and have almost no idea what they mean, but understand what they are saying, the experience is 'Hip-Hop' to them.

I also used some mixing techniques that are normally used when mixing Hip-Hop which was great fun and was done to high light the next song choice, this is used when I  mix Hip Hop because its all done by ear and vibe you can't really go into a Hip Hop set wanting it to sound as smooth as a house or techno set, where you can layer 32 bars of the tracks together. I think I was doing this to pay attribution to the original sounds of Turn tables where you could and would see people using effects such as 'the show' of one vocal cut to bring the audiences attention to the following track coming in, which allows the DJ to get them ready for the incoming track and drop,  now we mostly use a cued point loop, which is great but it not the same as a 'show track style' because you actually need to use the count of the bar loop and bring it in at the same spot at each point, otherwise it sounds pretty rough and overall kinda, well, choppy. 

Everytime there's a massive change in the style of music I play, it feels 'chunky' because it takes a while playing it out in order for it to feel smooth and mesh with me well enough for it to be a very clean feel. 
The extra 10% of any craft are what make the good great, and the greats just good. 

Honestly, I love playing and making music, mostly for what it can do for our conscious state of being - the all inspired and loved up party people of today are the ones who make the world a better place tomorrow and if art has no place then we as a community will also have no place.  
I loved playing at the Revs Cage. 
The first track before the Nina Simone is one of mine.

About this track:
Music and Dancing have been always the best alternative to forget about our problems, Since dancefloors are banned, our relation with music has been more intimate, more spiritual and the only way to have a sense of freedom.
This track is inspired in the philosophy of equality, unity and love that house music and disco have brought to the world.

"House music is a feeling and when you feel it you will understand..."

Served up next for Sonic Cocktails #101 is a little secret weapon that goes by the name of Jovella.

While Jovella has only been mixing for a little under two years, she is no stranger to music, and considers beats to be in her blood. As an artist, Jovella dreams of being able to freely and fluidly mix an eclectic assortment of tunes to match the diverse taste that she has— ranging from hip hop, to breaks, to techno, to deep house, to organic house, and so much more. Today, she fancies herself a DJ and director for SubSessions, a collective from San Luis Obispo, CA, as well as being one of the founding members and a DJ for the Untitled Shrimp Collective, a collective hailing from San Diego, CA. 

In this mix, she attempts to encompass some of the sounds that have been pleasing her ears lately, having been inspired by artists like LUZ1E, Shay Whelan, Steffi, and Meg Ward. 

Enjoy!
