We are excited to present this new set from, none other than, our beloved Mandrake tribe member, M.A.N.D.Y. 

Who else could know our sound better than someone who spent a week as an Artist In Residence, producing and performing DJ sets and live music together with his partner in crime: Jo.Ke, member of Feathered Sun.  

“We played at The Mandrake anniversary, together with the Thomas and Julien from Parallels and so we spent long nights and short days around the hotel, having a great time and absorbing the atmosphere of the terrace, The bars and the suites. This mix is ​​the soundtrack for that  crazy time” he says. 

We cant wait to have you back soon !

We hope you enjoy listening to the second episode of our monthly podcast sessions.

MANDRAKE SESSIONS_02_M.A.N.D.Y.

It has been quite some time since the last time we gathered for a night of MBTS. I wanted to take some time after the pandemic to be quiet and see how the dance music scene would evolve, and what sounds would come out of the standstill that was Covid. Now that I have a good sense of where I want to be sonically, and what kind of energy I want to spread onto dance floors, I am ready to restart MBTS in 2023. Stay tuned for more info, and enjoy this preview of what's to come.

Much love, 
The Scumfrog

Echoes Of Midnight - Radio Show

I've been making the most of summer here in Sydney, diving into the ocean daily.

Here's some tunes that bring me joy...I hope they have the same effect on you too! :-)

Diving Into The Ocean

Paying tribute to Cece Blake is a vexing task. She was such a multi-faceted character, any collection of words (or music) feels like it will be frustratingly incomplete. The longer you spent with Cece, the better you got to know her, the more you came to realize just how much more there was to her story. Rich new chapters with intersecting casts of characters that you didn't even know about. And yet Cece was no chameleon. She existed in many worlds but I never felt that she changed her colors. Quite the opposite, she always knew how to be herself. In hindsight, I think Cece was more like a prism - the colors were always there, if you only knew the angles from which to look.

Things I adored about Cece: her cool confidence, her seemingly effortless and unerring sense of style, her tough-as-nails pride (even if to a fault), her ability to gracefully ignore bullshit, her endlessly patient demeanor, her earnest love and encouragement of artistic expression.

Dance music was the initial force that brought Cece and I into each other's lives, long before we even realized. Years into our friendship, after it had grown well beyond the club, I recall our amusement at digging through online party photos and spotting ourselves unknowingly side by side on the same dance floors, there all along. I never thought of Cece as being the "life of the party." She was too reserved for that, not the type who needed everyone to acknowledge her presence. But she was very much the "soul of the party." Present for the right reasons, letting her energy flow, sensitive to the experience of others, available for connection without ever demanding attention. And yes, every once in a while finding the right moments to let it rip.

There is just too much music to pick from, and this mix is definitely not an attempt to express or summarize Cece's tastes. Honestly, Cece might find this a bit too sappy. Some of the tracks and artists in here I do know were very special to her, but mostly this mix is just about my fondness for her and the loving energy that she shared with so many of us, which I miss very much and will always remember.

Mix titled after the poem by Maya Angelou:

In Memoriam: Phenomenal Woman [Remembering Cece Blake]

Mark Slee - In Memoriam: Phenomenal Woman [Remembering Cece Blake]

I was saving some of these jams for months, waiting for the right moment to send our hearts, bodies and souls into a wild frenzy as we once again journeyed on the road to Black Rock City. With the feeling of an expansive and dusty sunrise always in my mind, I was warming up the main room at Great Northern in San Francisco and it took no time at all for the space to pack in with fellow wanderers, dreamers and playa people who were ready to give in to the waves of sonic bliss. 

As we dive into the deep end together with our hearts open, just imagine that I’m right there along side you dancing my dusty boots off to the bitter end. First on the floor, last to leave. I’m looking forward to seeing you all on desert dance floor and beyond in 2023.

Vitamindevo - DISTRIKT SOUND - The Great Northern - June 2023

"It was already a really overwhelming, but also exhausting, week for me at my first Burning Man. Then there was this Friday night. From the moment I started playing I felt so good and watching all those tiny lights on people's bikes heading towards the bus, it looked so beautiful. After my set I had so much energy that I stayed and danced on the bus for at least 12 more hours. This was a very special experience and that bus is definitely one of the coolest things I've ever played on, and I'm more than happy that I had a little role in this whole adventure.

cheers
Paul"

Art Piece: The Sonic Runway is a 1000 foot long corridor of lights connected to a sound system.  As thumping beats race across the desert, they trigger patterns of light that ripple down the corridor at the speed of sound. Wherever you stand, the lights and sound are in sync. You’ll never see sound the same again.

We knock the dusty gears into hyper speed and are quickly ported to a higher dimension. It's alien like the beautiful place we know as black rock city and we love it. We hear the 23rd is pink but as legend has it only the masters can bring us there. This is Dance Spirit, ready for blast off, at Pink Mammoth from Burning Man 2017. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Bespoke Musik Radio 136 : Daniel Cowel

My obsession with synthesisers, electronic music and all things audio technology has literally shaped my life. What started in the early 80s in UK high school, led to my career in Australia (Fairlight/Lake) and San Francisco (Dolby) and to decades of love and friendships forged on the dance floor.

During the pandemic, whilst isolating in a quarantine hotel, I decided to give the DJ thang a whirl (you can teach an old dog new tricks!).

I hope you enjoy listening to the music I love.
