"Kind of like we used to play on the radio or at Wonky (our monthly London night) - Not really mixed, but always using ambience and spoken words. Letting the songs play out in full." - Swayzak

Asylum celebrates 4 years of crazyness and quality music with Danny Howells. This is Danny's first time dropping in on Hawaii!

Danny's been around for bloody ages .. a bit too long actually, although he still has his own hair, albeit slowly greying, and can still squeeze into his favourite 32 inch waist flares on a good day.

He plays other people's records all over the place (and occasionally some of his own), sometimes he does it well, other times not so well, but he tries his absolute best and always has the best time in the world and encourages you to join him, cheers!

He has a record label called Dig Deeper which is fabulous, has done lots of compilations and is generally pretty damn ace.

He's not one of those DJs who wins awards or anything that's worth boasting about here, but don't let that put you off.

His favourite TV show is Coronation Street closely followed by Eastenders and he's currently on the lookout for someone to write a decent biography for him.

The in-demand US DJ unfurls dubby, dance floor poetry.

Where does sentimentality fit on the dance floor? For Liv Klutse, AKA livwutang, the answer is everywhere. The New York-based DJ is guided by a deep desire to stir connection, finding themes and points of correspondence across an impressively broad range of sounds, tempos and eras. 

This emotional intuition lends Klutse's sets a depth few others can match. Her selections can seem unpredictable, rooted in an appreciation for feeling over genre—hard and soft sounds are carefully balanced with surrealism and bursts of nostalgia (for instance, the Lazy Dog bootleg edit of Everything But The Girl's "Tracey In My Room"). But as versatile as she is, a few signature traits colour her style, such as a love for dubwise music and rhythms from across the Black diaspora, alongside a refreshingly introspective energy that invites dancers to find moments of meditation—even during peak time. 

A former staffer at our New York office, Klutse has long merited an RA Podcast. Her slow-burning blends and mystical selections have graced near-enough every major festival and club out there, from Dekmantel and Sustain-Release to Nowadays, where she's been a resident since 2022. Despite this cross-continental touring schedule, she still plays plenty of grassroots venues—testament to her days with TUF collective and Orphan Radio in Seattle, as well as her enduring belief in the power of DIY, community-orientated dance music. 

"How did you come down off life?" James Massiah asks at the beginning of RA.975. Across nearly 90 minutes, Klutse's downright beautiful mix seeks answers to this question, reflecting on hedonism in times of political decay. She's in full-on dub mode, moving through meditative bassweight, glitchy house and flat-out weirdo techno with a deftness we've come to expect from one of the most promising, singular voices in dance music right now. She's got there all on her own terms—and we couldn't be prouder.

We are incredibly excited to have the amazing Byron Yeates as the 45th mix in our series! 

Byron is a DJ that really needs no introduction. As head of Radiant Records, based in Berlin, Yeates has served his signature sound at Club SMUT, Bassiani, Club Raum, Nowadays and Fold, amongst others. As well as heading up La Noche alongside S-CANDALO (sibling duo THC and DHC), Yeates also holds a bimonthly residency at Berlin's Refuge Radio. 

Yeates' sets, which have been known to span over 8 hours, bounce, tease, punch and often soar. They are inflected with an attitude that can at once be incredibly playful and theatrically sincere, a duality that animates the queer lineage of electronic dance music in which Yeates places himself. The femme vocal is mixed into thumping progressive trance, which in turn meets a throwback house track, or swerves down to the nod of downtempo. What remains consistent through Yeates' selections is a heady depth, keen and delicate melodies, and a forcefulness that never lets surprise step off the dancefloor.

If you know us, you know much we adore Byron.. we’re so delighted to finally have him on our mix series after his quite legendary closing set at Club SMUT this past February. Enjoy!!
