Carrot Green & Trepanado — live from Boiler Room at Dekmantel Festival 2022.

Carrot Green & Trepanado | Dekmantel 2022 | Friday

Nueen has been mad busy in the last two years. The Barcelona-based Mallorcan has put out three albums of beautifully quiet and unhurried ambient. Each one has unfolded with its own intimate sense of narrative and showcased deft craftsmanship with both synth and guitar. The tunes drawn on the atmosphere of Nueen's home island so fits in with what you might call Balearic, but very much on its own terms. They are warm and gentle but underpinned with a melancholy that makes them all the more engaging. 

There is plenty of that on show across the opening of this week's podcast. Roomy arrangements are detailed with only the wispiest of pads but slowly a rhythm begins to emerge. It's dubby and dreamy and transports you out to sea on a sonic life raft that eventually sinks to the ocean floor. From there you roll along on supple drums, wispy pads drift by and shards of light pierce the surface. It is a perfect soundtrack to slowly awaken your soul on a lazy morning.

"I wanted to do something that was a bit more downtempo techno with an oldskool house vibe. Keeping it, sleazy, sexy. A lot of the tracks I've enjoyed playing out over the summer too."

"I wanted to capture what it was like to see me live. I set Jayda up, made sure she felt good getting up on stage – sang the last song to the crowd. I wanted something that was a look into what it is to hang out with me when I’m performing live – everybody has a good time, everybody feels safe and loved, you know what I’m saying?"

TMS. 488 JUNIORE SUPER & RIGO

We first caught wind of maya q earlier this year though her sophomore release for London imprint All Centre. Anyone with a penchant for hot footing it to a takeaway after a late night booze up will have had a chuckle at the title of the first track. Merrily, I hastened to the chicken shoppe / beno (soft) marked maya's second outing on the well-respected label, following 2021's I just wanna. 

Both EPs, along with the releases' predecessor on Scuffed Recordings, showcase her experimental approach to creating swung rhythms, low end frequencies and syncopated drum patterns inspired by jungle, UK bass, breaks and UKG, but with her own unique melodic and playful touch.

When maya isn't making music, she DJing as part of the Co-Select crew alongside the likes of TSUNIMAN, Airali and Will Hofbauer, the latter of whom released her most recent musical outing, break rev, on his Third Place imprint.

We got her on board for a mix that threads together the music she loves from poppy electronics to ethereal jungle, liquid DnB and playful vox-soaked rhythms.

Josh Caffé has spent the last decade on a breathless trip through the fringes of London’s shifting house and techno continuum. As a DJ, singer/songwriter, producer and activist of British-Ugandan descent, Caffe’s influence has been felt everywhere from institutions such as Panorama bar and Adonis to his own Love Child party, curated at Fabric, where Caffe holds an influential residency. Collaborating with international icons of dance music and fashion such as Honey Dijon, he has become an even more visible and respected presence in recent years. Recently delivering his debut album 'Poppa Zesque' on Erol Alkan’s label Phantasy, Caffe has made his boldest statement yet. Two singles, ‘According To Jacqueline’ and ‘Do You Wanna Take Me Home?’ (remixed by Steffi & Virginia) effortlessly captured Caffe’s vision of queer liberation and sensuality. Working alongside both Quinn Whalley of Paranoid London, for whom Caffe has provided memorable vocal turns, and saxophonist Alex White of Fat White Family, Caffe’s solo material is charismatic, frenetic and rich in inspiration, from classic Chicago house, UK acid culture, 00s rap and his twin heroes, Prince and Grace Jones. All of these influences, be they sensual, jackin’ or sexually playful, echo through Caffe’s selections as a DJ. Mixes for Honey Soundsystem, Beats In Space, Naive and Love International speak for Caffe’s standing in the queer and wider dance music communities. Having forged an intimate connection with dancers across the sphere of underground house and techno, whether on the dancefloor and on record, on the mic or in the booth, in the grimiest of clubs or owning festival stages, Josh Caffe’s attitude and talent continues to inspire radical freedom.

SonarMix 063: Josh Caffé

"With summer on its way, I wanted to record a mix full of some of my favourite soulful house, broken beat and deep house tracks to get me excited for festival season & sunny days in the city."

@maria-hanlon

Mantissa Mix 366: Maria Hanlon

"I had a blast putting this one together, I decided to get super weird, wonky, darker, and experimental. I would say that this is definitely one of my more experimental mixes, blending a selection of dark tech-housey, acidy progressive tracks and with some housey seasoning on top. I really hope you enjoy it and its ebbs and flows, and thank you so much again for the opportunity to be featured in part of the Mantissa mix series."

@madelica

Mantissa Mix 367: Madelic

"This mix weaves together a variety of melodic, proggy, percussive, and techy sounds.  I leaned into the kind of euphoric, high-energy vibe I naturally gravitate toward in both my DJ sets and productions, with a few left turns along the way!"

@loxxe

Mantissa Mix 368: Loxxe

"This mix includes some tracks I’ve been enjoying playing at clubs, festivals and on my SWU FM show this year. The mix starts on the deeper side then runs through some acid/303 bits that I’m loving at the moment, along with a few exclusives of mine that’ll be out towards the end of this year! Enjoy."
