London-based DJ Chanel Kadir channels a sound that is anything but basic. If anything, it’s about as expertly woven and layered as Gabrielle Chanel’s famous tweed suits. And, like the popular contemporary fashion house, it’s clear that she appreciates the finer details.

Whether it’s her fascination with leftfield music scenes or her multi-genre mixes that focus on mood, emotion, and texture, her willingness to explore the slower and more intricate corners of the art form – and her ability to freely express herself in such a manner – is refreshing to see from someone, who in her own words; has ‘only been djing a year’.

It’s a modest approach from someone far more advanced than she lets on. A quick look through her resume shows her lengthy tenure in electronic music. Starting out as a journalist and PR agent, her career has led her to work for the likes of Listen Up, Boiler Room, and Draaimolen Festival, as well as running her own PR agency, DAWN Creative, representing the likes of re:ni, CCL, Tristan Arp, Ciel, and more. She has also helped curate @wavdotworld, a mix and editorial series that highlights the ethics and importance around the craft of the DJ mix, while also running her brilliant ongoing mix series @Untitled909.

It’s the latter that has given Chanel a more introspective view into the depths of the craft. As she transitions from one side of the industry to the other – whether for her artists or her sets – it’s becoming clear that Chanel’s appeal lies in her ability to create stories. Her mix is a slow blend of sonically tactile psychedelic techno tracks that gradually merge and evolve into one another. In her interview with //SNCMAG, Chanel talks about her mix, Untitled #909 impact, and the ‘low-end psychedelia’ scene that’s capturing her attention.

DJ FART IN THE CLUB 061224

innerworld - 10th December 2024

Ido Plumes brings an hour of not so clubby underground music from the UK focused on polyrhythmic, textures and alternative dance music.

Ido Plumes @ Kiosk Radio 06.02.2025

💥Recorded live at Bounce House on 9/7/24 between 4-6am💥

Our next teacher's pet is a hometown hero with bark and bite, a Bounce House alumna who's been riding hard with us since the very start: Security Dog. With a wide, rambunctious range and a real auteur's touch in the moments that it counts most (who remembers her Void appearance in fall 2022? chef's kiss shit, that was!) developed through dogged determination, a certifiably adversarial approach to practice, and routine appearances at gayborhood watering holes and DIY situations (including her Rumor Mill series), Security Dog has the chops to make bad boys obedient and make it fun to boot. We're happy to welcome her back.

o•rbyss aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

"After some excellent contributions to the o•rbyss series by friends of mine, I was invited to record a mix. Ambient and downtempo have long been part of my listening habits — often as tools for focus, unwinding, or finding comfort. I hadn’t listened to these styles much recently, but after a particularly reflective year, this mix felt like the perfect chance to reconnect and create some catharsis for myself. It’s a personal one, moving through moody and introspective moments before ending on a hopeful and uplifting note. I’m grateful for the opportunity and excited to share it - I hope it brings warmth and joy for anyone who listens, just as it has for me."

Command Control is a DJ and producer from London. He released his first EP ‘Essence’ in 2014, fusing his penchants for Dub, Detroit and UK techno.

Here is BMG rocking it after Eris Drew's No Way Back inaugural set, May 26, 2019. In his own words: "It was my extreme pleasure to follow Eris Drew’s propulsive debut at No Way Back, and to contrast it with another thunderously powerful take on the psychedelic vision of this party, transforming her vibrant energy into a deeply cathartic and transcendent groove, showing how many sides of the prism are contained within this, feels almost infinite."

/ˈɔ•bɪɪs/

A vast, mysterious expanse that exists between worlds, often described as a swirling, endless void of shifting colors and lights. A liminal space, a bridge between dimensions or states of consciousness.
