Jeffrey Sfire’s introduction to the underground dance scene and illegal warehouse parties of Detroit
occurred at the tender age of 15. This escape from suburba led him to some of the city’s most talented
DJs and musicians, who soon exposed him to a new culture of creative riches. Learning by example,
Sfire’s taste and skills as a DJ developed naturally and he soon began playing out at parties, clubs and
sleazy gay afterhours, usually entering covertly through back doors or with a fake ID. A move to Chicago
exposed Sfire to a whole other side of dance music history, including "Italo Disco" and genre jumping dj
styles of the Hotmix 5 radio djs. He spent afternoons digging through record store crates, meeting retired
DJs and developing his musical palette. Having held numerous club residencies, he regularly plays at
Panorama Bar and Cocktail D’amore in Berlin, The Carry Nation and Wrecked in New York, Hard French
in San Francisco, and his own party Loosen Up! In Detroit, consistently offering a finely-tuned selection of
Acid House, Italo Disco, Latin Freestyle, & 90’s NYC House. In 2013 Jeffrey and SOPHIE released the
first untitled “Sfire” record on Cocktail d'Amore Music out of Berlin which has become a cult classic. Since
then the duo has released 3 more untitled “Sfire” records. He is currently living in Detroit and is one half of
the Italo/Electro duo Looky Looky with Ian Clark released on Dark Entries records of San Francisco

Best HOUSE party vibes ever! 
Thanks to all the dancers that made this party so so special!

HOUSE music and vibes from the top!

As note on sound: Recording is a bit rough, the right turntable picks up
noise from the needle, and there are some skips and bops in the mix. But it's 
live and direct! So hope you still enjoy!

GALA Warm Up Mix - Tama Sumo & Lakuti

Jennifer Loveless steps up to the Phonica mix with a charged hour of sculpted house — poised between deep groove and melodic resonance. 
Born in Toronto and musically forged in Melbourne, she relocated to Australia in 2012 and quickly became a central figure in the country's underground electronic scene. Now based in Berlin, her fluid DJ style — steeped in queer dancefloor energy and late-night catharsis — has lit up some of the world’s most respected booths, from Panorama Bar and De School to Body Movements, Maricas/Mxricas, and Boiler Room’s Discwoman showcase in Sydney.
As a producer, her discography speaks in rhythms both personal and expansive. The debut Hard/Soft (Pure Space, 2020) blended meditative percussion and fragmented spoken word; 1.5m (Planet Euphorique) offered a pandemic-era pulse of emotional urgency. In 2021, the Water EP (Butter Sessions) landed with immersive, club-primed textures and was hailed by Resident Advisor as “career-defining.” Its 2022 follow-up Around the World expanded that sound with driving drums and psychedelic tones — its standout tracks appearing in DJ sets by Jayda G, D. Tiffany, and more.
Loveless’s mix here flows like her best sets: deep, intuitive, and full of movement. Sensual grooves fold into one another — not showy, just sharp. A warm, high-fidelity hour from a DJ who knows how to guide the floor from dusk to afterglow. We had a brief chat with Jennifer about the mix and what she has coming up:

Phonica Mix Series 133: Jennifer Loveless

I Know

A Daily Practice is a musical journey into balance, healing, and rhythm. The project explores equanimity as both a state of mind and a daily ritual, expressed through four distinct soundscapes.

The Soulful House original sets the tone with deep grooves and meditative spoken word, offering an uplifting experience that feels like the calm eye in the middle of the storm. The Disco House remix brings a hypnotic, floor-filling pulse, transforming the message of inner peace into a mantra for the dancefloor. The Indo-House reimagining infuses ancient textures with modern club energy, weaving tabla, dhol, and Urdu poetry into a transcendent groove that bridges cultures. Finally, the Roots Reggae version grounds the project in timeless warmth, echoing classic Studio One foundations where steady basslines and heartfelt vocals meet themes of serenity and stillness.

Together, these interpretations embody equanimity as sound: calm yet powerful, meditative yet danceable, a reminder that peace can be practiced and celebrated in many forms.

When Lakuti came through for our Nowadays Nonstop Halloween party last year she delivered one of the most memorable moments of our entire year - a stunning three hour set that started at 9am and seamlessly crossed genres rooted in her deeply uplifting, spirited and soulful approach to dance music. 

Unfortunately, our normally trusty Tascam recorder couldn't handle the heat on that occasion and failed on us, meaning the spectacular sounds from that morning existed only in the moment.

Fast-forward six months and thanks to COVID-19 the only dance floor we can safely gather on is the digital one so we reached out to the Uzuri boss in the hope of being able to recreate the magic of that morning last Halloween and helping us shine us a light in super dark times.

Across the two hours in this mix she's done exactly that with a beautiful blend of feel-good boogie, delightful disco and sultry, sun-kissed deep house perfect for the balmy evenings of a New York City summer. Huge love to Lerato for being down to put this together for us and help keep us going <3
