SonarMix 063: Josh Caffé

Albion Street Mix6(Mostly 00s deep/tech house from bay area labels & artists+other west coast stuff)

exclusive | Natebytheway - Snazzy init | Beatnik Collective

With Beatnik Collective stepping into its third chapter, the Manchester label - helmed by Adam and Rossa - ushers in its first full artist EP, “Hardtoknow” by Natebytheway. The four-tracker marks both an end and a beginning for the San Francisco-born producer: his last works produced in Berlin before returning home, yet also the latest step in a steadily rising trajectory that already saw him turn heads with a standout release on Growing Pleasures, championed by the likes of Dr. Banana.

The A2 cut, “Snazzy init”, distills Nate’s sonic identity into five and a half minutes of understated mischief. Opening with otherworldly, space-flecked tones, the track swiftly grounds itself in a supple, groove-laden house bassline - neither flashy nor forceful, but irresistibly head-nodding. Falsetto-style vocal chops weave in and out like fleeting apparitions, giving the track a playful eccentricity without ever breaking its cool. Piano stabs punctuate the mix, trading places with those airy cosmic flourishes, lending a subtle tension-and-release dynamic that makes the track feel alive without ever overreaching.

It’s laidback, it’s slick, and it’s got that sly “must-drop” character that sneaks its way into nearly any set. “Snazzy init” slides in, takes control of the floor, and leaves you wondering why you’d ever want to play anything else. Natebytheway proves once again that his grooves may be born in Berlin, but their pull is universal.

@valentinlamar pilots this earthy, spacey, groovy transmission through isolation & community. this mix is inspired by the realities of inevitable endings, and the elation of new beginnings. a reflection of space and time, and how all movement happens in waves. weary and hopeful expressions about the future of the planet. 

a soundtrack to the life of nature, human history, technology, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul. as above, so below.

Premiere : Natebytheway - Hardtoknownow (BKC003)

Amateur DJ, jazz enthusiast, and HI NRG cofounder Nathan Kruse mixes his heart out on this latest installment of our mix series. 

The great jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal was once ridiculed for being a “cocktail jazz musician”, because of the quietude, space, and mellowness of his recordings. However, there’s nothing trite or unartistic about his playing; he was one of Miles Davis’ inspirations in the Cool Jazz movement, and Bill Evans once said “it’s a real thing he’s doing.”

It is this style that informs this mix: quieter, mellower, but not without an elegance, an artistry, and, often, a foot-stomping, head-bobbing groove underneath it all. Enjoy tickled ivories, schmalzy horn blows, and restrained brilliance from the musicians on this mix - perfect for a peaceful morning. Cheers!

HI NRG RADIO VOL. 5 - Nathan Kruse

There’s something quietly magnetic about Duncan Thomas. A London-based producer, live performer and lifelong digger, his sound sits at the crossroads of warm soul, deep groove and harmonic richness. From his early work with TR Trio and Size 8 to recent solo outings on The Check In and his forthcoming label Slam Duncs, Thomas has steadily carved out a space that favours feeling over formula. Whether behind a keyboard or a pair of decks, he approaches music with a jazz musician’s ear and a selector’s instinct — patient, playful, rooted in depth.

His Phonica Friends & Family mix is a love letter to that ethos. Rather than chasing dancefloor peaks, this is a set built on timelessness — music he wants to return to in ten years and still feel connected to. These are deep, soulful cuts that lean into warmth and atmosphere, curated from both dusty crates and digital rabbit holes. True to form, the mix resists trend in favour of tone, inviting you into a space where melody, memory and movement meet. It’s subtle, emotive, and unmistakably Duncan Thomas.

It's that time again, another Somecast!
This time around we have Flavio, also known as Albion Street Music, one of the most passionate diggers I've met, with a deep passion for West Coast House music, but it doesn't stop there.
A digger who eats & dreams vinyl, I got the chance to meet Flavio when I played at a renegade in San Francisco this past May and we connected right away with our love for digging and sharing our discoveries with the world. If you're not familiar yet, you should browse through his Albion Street Music YouTube channel with over 500 uploads of juicy cuts! You can also check his discogs, where he buys and sells and trades records from his vast collection. Happy digging!

Enjoy!

Somecast # 6 • Flavio [Albion Street Music]

art:cast °188 | Goodtunes97

Some mixes feel like a night out; others feel like paging through someone’s most private record shelf, each pull revealing a new side of the story. The latest art:cast, °188, leans toward the latter - an invitation into a world where groove, subtlety, and deep knowledge converge. Guiding us through that world is Dylan Rutledge, better known as Goodtunes97, one of the West Coast’s most respected diggers and selectors.

Dylan doesn’t just play records, he lives them: running the Goodtunes label, curating two recommendable YouTube channels, and circulating rare finds as both a collector and a seller. That broad perspective is etched into the DNA of his art:cast, which digs as deep as his crates do. It’s housey, minimal, and funky, laced with a laid-back Cali attitude that gradually tightens its grip as the mix evolves - building toward clubbier peaks, break-esque turns, and darker notes that give the ride its shape.

The result is simply what a mix should be: a journey of discovery, a shifting play of moods, and a reminder that the right records, in the right hands, can redraw the map of where we thought the night might go.
