Richard Akingbehin @ Draaimolen x Sustain Release, Tilburg - May '24

the 6th chapter as the previous 5 chapters is education 
that a lot of alleged "House" DJs and Producers are 
obviously lacking showcasing modern, vintage and 
out of print/promo labels:

trax records, underground, house records, precision,
sunstar records, dezzarotic records, l.a. club resource, 
gherkin records, chicago connection, still music chicago,
dark entries and chiwax to productions from: 

ron hardy, felix de housecat’s 1st production, sweet d,
gene hunt, larry heard, farley jackmaster funk, virgo 4, 
x2, dmarc cantu, steve summers, boyd jarvis, juju, 
leron carson, g strings, ron morelli, terence woodard, 
delroy edwards, mutant beat dance and a new production of jakbeat to come from chicago 
with a new alias project dropping later this year 
in 2025 for a label we support.
(more news on that later)


⚠️ warning ⚠️ 
this selection covers the building blocks of the 
early dance music scene with selections of today 
and yesterday incorporating musical blueprint dubs,
a couple of vocals in between but overall: 
a raw style of basement underground tracks 
of Chicago and New York’s timeless heroes & icons 
we admire, honor and inspired by their education.

we hope this will give people the chance to 
listen to music many may have never heard 
on this side of sound that provides a provocative 
and thoughtful musical workout in your mind 
with vinyl turntables, a vintage mix console 
with an effects box and cd players.

this selection is personally dedicated 
to my beloved heart ♥️ vicki, jason, nestor, 
mark grusane, naughty wood, ron morelli,
kozmik, strangeland, alex from queens, uncle tom
and the dancers and dreamers for the continuation 
of the lessons and storytelling of chicago with 
sincerity 🎶✨

runtime: 3 hours 50 minutes

{Traxx} Presents- The Definitive Articles of House Music Chapter 6

Mike Servito's closing set from 10:30am until noon at No Way Back, May 25, 2025, Day 2 of Return to the Source at Tangent, Detroit. 

"Mike Servito is an artist intertwined with his Detroit origins. No matter how far he travels and how long he lives elsewhere, the essential imprint of this city remains in everything he does.

If you asked where this mix was recorded, I would say "Detroit" without hesitation and if I thought about it for a bit, I would guess that it was most likely one of Mike's legendary closing sets at No Way Back at Tangent Gallery. The level of care and reverence that go into these sets is very evident in this mix from start to finish. The track selection moves effortlessly from past to future playing with darkness and light, depth and joy, tension and release. It's a remarkable demonstration of taste and skill but also a paean to Mike's personal artistic history that calls to the creative power center that Detroit comprises. This mix provides a true glimpse into Mike's long-term dedication to the art of working in tandem with the dancefloor, creating a shared journey where the challenge is to let go and just trust the DJ."

B12 pres. Electro-Soma at UFO II - Dekmantel Festival 2025

Proud champions of community and inclusivity, Lakuti and Tama Sumo are long-time Dekmantel favourites and true underground bastions. Deep diggers and lifelong collectors, the iconic Panorama Bar dup built a reputation for sets where pretty much anything goes, as long as it has soul. And the way they mix it, with a rare instinct that pull their crowds in deep is what makes them one of the most revered back-to-back duos in the scene.
This week’s mix is yet more evidence of that: over 80 minutes, they blend old and new. Rooted in house but shaped by global travels, it moves through soul-soaked broken beat, classic US depths and Afro rhythms – always carried by an emotional rawness that resonates. A masterclass in both selection and flow from two of the best.

Dekmantel Mix 497 - Lakuti & Tama Sumo

The first-ever live recording from an elusive icon of dubby electronic music.

Lore is an underrated quality. Neuroscientists have mapped that music elicits similar feelings in the brain to when we satiate cravings, but what about the psychological impulse that drives listeners of a certain disposition toward everything they don't know?

It's tricky to put your finger on, but artists able to conjure intrigue without overhawking the backstory can really cut through—just ask SAULT, [ar:pi:ar] or Gerald Donald. Then there are those who don't try whatsoever. These are the ones who stay in mind the most.

In 2001, a striking 12" called Ship-Scope emerged through Chain Reaction, credited to Shinichi Atobe, with no other info available. Okay, mulled fans, this is probably a cat-and-mouse game dreamed up by someone on a label with a fine line in foggy obfuscation. Vainqueur on a wind-up? Another Moritz 'n Mark alias?

But no: Atobe was real, and really had posted a demo to Hard Wax. It was that simple. Then he went back to his day job—until, after 13 years of silence, an even better follow-up emerged.

From the near-perfect Butterfly Effect onwards, Atobe has built up one of the most revered catalogues in underground circles. A steady clip of elegant, transportive dub techno and deep electronics has arrived on Demdike Stare's DDS, complimented by the launch of his own label, plastic & sounds, earlier in summer 2025.

Atobe has also made strides into the public domain, DJing intermittently, as well as performing live for the first time in 2023, gracing WWW at the tender age of 52. It's that debut 2023 show heard on RA.1009: a hypnotic yet comparatively pumping set full of Atobe staples, as well as material you won't find anywhere else.

Contact with the big man, as you might anticipate, is glacial: since we first reached out, the RA Mix has changed name, look and rolled over into its second millennium. Still, patience pays off. This is a one-off we're stoked to run. – Gabriel Szatan

RA.1009 Shinichi Atobe

Loco Dice b2b Vladimir Ivkovic at Draaimolen Festival 2025

A statement mix from the Dutch artist also known as A Made Up Sound, 2562 and ex_libris. 

What makes something sound like Dave Huismans? His music carries a signature you can't quite name, a tension which has defined every chapter of his career. And unlike most producers, he really does operate in phases. 

A man of many monikers, Huismans resurfaced this year after nearly a decade away with two new aliases, ex_libris and In Transit. His latest ventures, though sonically a world away from the work under his most recognised projects, share the same slipperiness, intricacy and disregard for tidy genre borders. 

"Naiveté and a lack of prejudice… a really wide-eyed type of open-mindedness," Huismans once told RBMA, recalling his youthful forays into dance music and that ethos is alive and well on RA.1015.

Huismans's second RA Mix is as equally thrilling as his first one 15 years ago, traversing a map of influences from Madlib and Gyrofield to Prince and Autechre.  There's no shortage of atmosphere (Losoul's "Sunbeams and the Rain" is one particular highlight), but the throughline is groove: soulful, vocal deep house into driving techy depths, walls of glitchy drums and frantic percussion into guitar funk. 

"I got carried away a bit," Huismans says of RA.1015 below. And that's no bad thing. It sounds like someone enjoying himself again, and perhaps, after letting a few old skins fall away, Huismans is ready to shift shape once more. And if it's anything like the last time, a lot of good music awaits.
