There is a certain type of artist that transcends generational and artistic boundaries, that channels their experiences while simultaneously fostering an environment for others to thrive.

Kai Alcé is a prime example, someone who witnessed the genesis of Detroit’s electronic musical landscape and strives to keep that spirit alive. For him it is imperative to pass on the lessons he has learned, to create a space where deep soulful vibes can reverberate while honoring the African Diaspora roots of dance music’s culture.

NDATL stands for the cities that Kai has called home and have played a role in his musical development: New York, Detroit, ATLanta.
The label and production company reflects the tone of each city in its input to the electronic music canon. It has not only been a vehicle for his own productions but a home for releases from contemporaries, personal heroes and up-and-coming artists such as Javonntte, ED Nine & Roberta. Never one to be content with the status quo, Kai’s dedication to the underground combined with his warm demeanor has made him a mentor to young Atlanta based artists such as Ash Lauryn, Stefan Ringer and Byron the Aquarius.

Kai’s long running party at The Sound Table, Distinctive, would act as a hub for house music over the last decade and put him in touch with the local youth. Concurrently it was his annual party back in Detroit that would become a Mecca for househeads. Deep Detroit is known for being one of the go to events for Memorial Day weekend electronic music festival Movement. What started as a reunion party for the Music Institute has become a pilgrimage and right of passage where the devoted can purchase highly coveted, limited edition vinyl-only releases from the party’s musical guests.

Never one to stay static he has recently curated a limited run of 7” House tracks with DJ Spinna for BBE Music and even stepped into the world of fashion. Kai has always been known for his vibrant fashion, consistently being complimented on his stylish glasses that match his outfits. Years of people inquiring about obtaining similar spectacles has resulted in the boutique Kai Alcé Eyewear line. “The Kaizer” never stops moving. A love of life, mixed with his flair for originality, willingness to experiment and devotion to the dancefloor has cemented his place as a pillar in American dance music history. Whatever comes next from Mr. Alcé, you can be assured that it will be classy, soulful, fulfilling and funky.

Stay tuned – you never know what the man will have for you next!

Sorry as the recording is not the best quality & volume levels were not the best, I noticed halfway the recording level was too low, caught up in the evening action I guess..

About her favorite track:
Patrice Scott - Rain Dance 
“ This track is such a soul cleanser, the singing instruments, the groove…everything feels so warmand vulnerable. The first time I heard this track I danced soooo hard!”

Influenced by Brussels diverse music culture, Soufiane developed a healthy passion for obscure and exceptional records.

His style ranges from soulful bossa nova to Ethiopian jazz, but is especially characterised by a deep love for disco. Eager to share his musical revelations, he learned to mix and started to organise parties.

With Souf' behind the turntables, you'll get your faire share of violins, trumpets and euphoric organ solos; don't you worry.

DJ JUS-ED GOLDEN RECORD18.05.2024

This mix is dedicated to all the ladies out there that aspire to become a DJ. Never in a million years did I believe I would be doing what I do. I was that girl on the dance floor losing her mind to the amazing music played by the most awesome Chicago DJs. I rooted for them, learned the songs and started buying the vinyl. 
This passion for the music lead me to starting my own online show in 2007 "Nice Night 4 A Jam" I didn't know it would take me down a rabbit hole of becoming a collector, a vinyl selector!!!! But it has been an amazing ride. It has taken me places and introduced me to people I never thought I would meet. 

So I am so grateful to be able to play this music. I am so proud to be able to share this music with the masses. And i hope you enjoy this mix as much as I enjoyed playing it.  

Side note....I heard this genre of music is dying.... So I hope this mix inspires the youth to keep it alive!!!!

Happy listening 
Nosha

Thank heaven for lil' girls

Ge-ology In Conversation

DJ.
Life is a spectacularly failing prank, thanks to people...
Music is magic, it creates bonds, brings joy & smiles.
It is also made by people, what does that tell you?
Magic can come out of a turd, beware.
