Our next mix comes from a returning guest and a key part of the On Ro extended family, No Moon. Alongside iconic releases for Mechatronica, Craigie Knowes and Salt Mines, he has recently launched his own label, releasing club slammers on the No Moon Mean Series and warm house, IDM and ambient on the No Moon Cute Series. He's a fantastic DJ and someone we're always happy to run into, and we're very pleased to be able to present you this live recording. Some words from the man himself:

I'm very pleased to be able to share with you the recording from my set at Tag, Chengdu. I was meant to play for 3 hours but the recording ends abruptly at quite a high moment due to the club getting shut down by the police. Needless to say that was quite a memorable experience in itself and I also expected not to get a copy of the recording after that happened. But yeah such an honor to play there, and really happy to have the recording to remember it with as well.

Some background, I recently got the opportunity to travel around China and play in a bunch of different cities. The trip was pretty intense playing in 9 clubs in 3 weeks, which is also a very big difference to the amount I have been typically playing in the last couple of years. One of the things I've always considered important in DJ sets is improvising and not just playing something pre-prepared, but when you only play a couple of times a year this becomes really difficult. So yeah it was really great to have enough gigs in a short time to try and play like this again. Tag was the 6th show of 9 so by this point in the trip I felt really comfortable. The recording is full of new and old classics, blends and little snippets I'd worked out over the course of the tour, and even a rare instance of me playing a No Moon track. I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Very fond memories from my final stop on my India tour in a cute attic club in Bengaluru.

Id like to say thank you to the wonderful Satori crew for their attention to detail, hospitality and the special crowd that were dancing on the night.

Bakk Heia Podcast 004 - FROND

We are very happy to share our latest podcast from one of our favourite DJs - FROND. 

We are a great admirer of FROND's work, both as an DJ across the UK's subterranean/swampy rave scene, and through her precise production style, displayed in her recent People & Places release. We also have v fond memories of her masterful set at Bakk Heia last year, where she gracefully tunnelled through the gears towards collective joyful chaos.

This mix is a reflection of FROND's ability to toe the line between driving body movers, and euphoria inducing tear grabbers. It's a powerful combination, and one that drives straight to the heart. <3

Enjoy this trip friends :)

PREORDER - https://murmursrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/sonic-iterations-vol-1

This collection of music sits naturally as the first release on murmurs, exhibiting some of my favourite sounds and artists from around the world. It explores various moods of dance music, setting the sonic foundations of the label and giving a glimpse of more to come.

~ Through the furthest reaches of our feeling and thought, whispers of familiarity bring solace. It is this essence which simultaneously restricts and expands imagination. Let the adventurous nature of our beings embrace that which was, is and will be, in all its unfamiliarity. For only then can we comprehend the auditory murmurs of time. ~

Releasing on City Wall Records,
the second track of my first EP of the year

Been a long time coming but I'm starting to put out music again and it feels fitting to start with this EP. The EP is called Medulla /Stasis, and both themed around the mind, being stuck in thought patterns and the messy road to overcoming these challenges that often we place for ourselves, and new beginnings. Something which I've experienced a lot of this year.

Hope you enjoy this track, I wanted to create more of a journey here that just a 4 minute banger single. This track is very much inspired by old prog house classics from labels such as Hooj Choons.

The whole EP is out on the 9th May 2025
if any DJ's wish to pre-order it here is the link:
