Ahead of their forthcoming EP on our brand new sub-label, Phonica A.M., we asked the mysterious Voodoos and Taboos to piece together a recording for our ever-eclectic Mix Series. 

The duo first came to our attention back in 2019 when the first release in their vinyl-only series landed at the shop. Their unique, spooked-out house, tech-house, garage and breakbeat inspired sound resonated with us, and when the idea of a new, more after-hours focused label was floated we knew exactly who to get in touch with for the debut release. 

Their one hour and fifteen minute long mix is online now. Check out the full feature here! 🙌 bit.ly/phonicamix86

Phonica Mix Series 86: Voodoos and Taboos

Pon da peak of Mount Utah, above the highest clouds, you'll find the wildest avalanche seen this century. Where delectable bass riddims rumble and galactic bombastic snowflakes tumble back to earth.

For some dance music fans, Hamish & Toby may be their new favourite DJs thanks to a recent US tour and excellent sets at festivals like Glastonbury, Dimensions, Houghton and Freerotation. 2022 was, after all, a breakthrough year for the UK duo. But in their own, close-knit world of Discogs fanatics and vinyl purists, Hamish Cole and Toby Wareham are admired and established names. They met while studying in Leeds, bonding over a shared love of wiggly bombs at countless clubs and hazy afterparties. They ran events (Butter Side Up, Dog Eat Dog), DJ’d tirelessly and continued to dig for obscure gems. Within a few years, they were both working full-time music jobs in London, booking Dimensions Festival (Hamish) and The Pickle Factory (Toby). (Hamish is now a director at Dimensions.) All in all, they’ve dedicated the past 15 years of their lives to dance music.

For all their behind-the-scenes work, Hamish & Toby’s true love is DJing together. They’re known for their long, expressive sets that go, in their own words, “all over the map.” Their RA Podcast, which was recorded live at Philadelphia party Subsurface in May, is a four-hour odyssey through golden-era house, tech house and UK garage. Proper party music, in other words. According to the duo, they were “fully locked in, as comfortable as we’ve ever felt DJing.” It really shows.

Home Diggin' a été crée par D’Julz lors du premier confinement . Une fois par mois ce dernier mixait une selection très personnelle de disques souvent rares, parfois oubliés ou plus recents ‘diggés’ dans sa collection de 15000 disques.
En passant du salon de D’Julz au studio de Rinse, Home Diggin, gagne 1 heure supplémentaire qui lui permettra de creuser encore plus profondément dans sa collection et d’inviter occasionnellement des ‘diggers’ nationaux et internationaux

Ba Dum Tish founder, Alec Falconer, takes time off from his busy schedule of writing two sentence blurbs to deliver a two-hour Ba Dum Tish mix. Arguably this mix is almost three years late but it takes a while to think of a two sentence blurb.

It’s safe to say that Resolute is to New York what Secretsundaze and Half Baked are to London, Sash! is to Sydney and the likes of Sunrise are to Romania. In onther words, it’s a party that’s very much at the heart of its country’s electronic music scene. And at the heart of any great party is its residents. Maksim (real name Maxim) is a Russian DJ/producer who’s been a key part of the Resolute party and a resident since 2013. 

Known for his groovy and infectious sets (that clearly, reflect his playful nature), he found music in his teenage years and is truly someone who’s worked his way up: he even worked as a lighting guy before turning his hand to DJing. It was in Brooklyn where he’s found his calling, impressing the Resolute crew and securing a residency that would lead him on a whole new lifepath. As we’re such fans, we decided to invite the man himself back for another mix. And this one's another cracker!
