‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

The stupid season approaches with much haste, Bublè is being defrosted as we speak, Mariah is on her way back to earth, the turkeys are scared and Santa is shitting himself. Don’t forget the good that comes with all of it, I.e time off work, being too full for days on end, and that first dip in a cold body of water on a hot day. Amongst all the chaos, it's very important to take some time to completely wind down and zone out. To help with such a thing we’re going to let Acid Chess Club aka Benji aka the mayor of Melbourne take the wheel and drive for the next 5 hours (no destination required). 

You ever meet someone and just be like “damn, this cat knows what’s up!” Well, that’s how I felt when I met Benji, and I'm certain I'm not alone. If/when some extraterrestrial beings finally come to this god-forsaken planet, I'm gonna vote to put Benji forward to be the first contact and show em around town. I reckon they’re not too far away after hearing this mix… A smile that’s better than a hug, and a hug that’s better than a tray of perfectly roasted potatoes. Music is his game, in all forms, and he knows it inside and out; Responsible for all types of conceptual avenues to enjoy music, including various jaunts into the hosting realm under the umbrella of Crate Mates, Chewin The Fat, and Tesselate, all whilst having a firm grip on the DJ’ing thing and playing in the band San Of The Rambutan (TIP!) A man of much know-how and he’s only getting started. 

Hmmmmmm, damn, where to start? It’d probably be quicker to go through the bases that aren’t covered in this masterpiece, but I won’t. This is a big mountain to climb, but a stunning one at that. The scenery, the serenity, the flora and the fauna are all beautifully captured. Completely chock full of picturesque backdrops and stunning saturations, it reminds me of an album of photo highlights from the best trip you’ve ever had, a soundtracked slide show if you will. Every picture is worth a thousand notes, each one adding to the overarching narrative. Benji has done this series justice tenfold, in doing so making me even prouder to present such a thing. So without further adieu, chuck on your Solomons, fill up your butter sessions water bottle, and go conquer this beast. 

With love. X

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Another 8760 hours have passed yet again, another full lap around the sun, another new year upon us... And what comes with this new year, for I know not, nor do I want to. It is, although a good time to realign, reassess, reevaluate, and appreciate the opportunity to do so. Our sound-tracker for this sectional period is from all the way in Ukraine, and he goes by the name of Sid-Nine aka Anton Potieriaiko. 

I don’t know much about Sid, just that he’s a young guy with exceptional musical taste, an amazing result of what this series has evolved into. Sid sent me some mixes a few months ago, and very kindly asked if he could contribute. After listening to them, I hurriedly replied with a big fat ‘yes please!’, and here we are. It fills me with immense pride that this series has reached the other side of the world and given someone the motivation to truly dive deep into their own existence and produce something so pure. Especially when your country is forcibly participating in a war that shouldn’t be happening. 

This has been an absolute pleasure to listen to over and over for the past few weeks, I honestly don’t think I’ll ever get sick of this mix. The talent that Sid puts on display in this two-hour stint is nothing short of amazing, each arch so perfectly placed, each mix so perfectly executed, each twist so rich, each turn so precise. The sheer wealth of musical knowledge intertwined throughout the mix is astounding, all rolled up in ethereal euphoria and soaked in rhythm overnight. Progressively paced-out house music, steeped street soul, splinters of future pop, deep space synth, milk bar ambient folk, converging harmoniously to create something magical. This kid truly gets it, and I know damn well he will use these powers for good. Sit on the couch, and reach for the lasers. 

Happy new year. X

«Тільки для домашнього використання» — це антиклубне спілкування, можливість познайомитися з кимось/щось. Серія передач, присвячених дослідженню іншої сторони.

Знову минуло ще 8760 годин, ще одне повне коло навколо сонця, ще один новий рік перед нами... І що прийде з цим новим роком, бо я не знаю і не хочу знати. Це, хоч і сприятливий час для перебудови, переоцінки, переоцінки та оцінки можливості зробити це. Наш саунд-трекер для цього розділового періоду – з усієї України, і його звуть Сід-Найн, він же Антон Потеряйко.

Я мало знаю про Сіда, лише те, що він молодий хлопець із винятковим музичним смаком, дивовижний результат того, у що перетворився цей серіал. Кілька місяців тому Сід надіслав мені кілька міксів і дуже люб’язно попросив, чи може він зробити свій внесок. Вислухавши їх, я поспішно відповів великим «так, будь ласка!», і ось ми тут. Мене сповнює величезна гордість, що ця серія досягла іншого кінця світу і дала комусь мотивацію по-справжньому зануритися у власне існування та створити щось таке чисте. Особливо, коли ваша країна вимушено бере участь у війні, якої не повинно бути.

Це було справжнє задоволення слухати знову і знову протягом останніх кількох тижнів, я чесно кажучи, не думаю, що мені коли-небудь набридне цей мікс. Талант, який Сід демонструє в цьому двогодинному виступі, не що інше, як дивовижний, кожна арка настільки ідеально розміщена, кожен мікс настільки ідеально виконаний, кожен поворот такий насичений, кожен поворот такий точний. Величезне багатство музичних знань, переплетених у всьому міксі, вражає, усе згорнуте в ефірну ейфорію та просякнуте ритмом протягом ночі. Прогресивна хаус-музика, стріт-соул, уламки майбутньої поп-музики, глибокий космічний синтезатор, ембієнт-фолк молочного бару, які гармонійно зливаються, створюючи щось чарівне. Цей хлопець справді це розуміє, і я чудово знаю, що він використає ці здібності назавжди. Сядьте на диван і потягніться до лазерів.

Щасливого Нового року. X

Jura Soundsystem aka Kev Griffiths, the mastermind behind the always on point "Isle of Jura Records" serves up a 90 minute micro vacation triiip to a place we all wish we could escape to. 

ID Requests ~ @jura_soundsystem

1800 triiip - Jura Soundsystem - Mix 052

"A transposition of emotions to sound… a journey through what I was feeling at the time. The beginning is broken and jarring, erratic and unsettling… riding through false peaks and fragmented breakdowns. It’s a bit dark and unclear as to what will happen next. As time goes on, there’s a slow build up of clarity: you can feel yourself coming out of the darkness and into something brighter… something freeing. You feel lighter at the end…. skin tingling with tenderness and elation."

Our third installment for this year comes from @jem4u, a community organiser & DJ hailing from Detroit, determined to introduce us to the new sounds breaking through from the next gen there - and we’re all about it.

Hue & Saturation Mix #049: JEM

MIX DESCRIPTION
To stick with the theme of self-preservation I wanted to keep it chill and relaxing. This mix reminds me of Sunday afternoon, it covers a lot of ground from genre, release date and country of origin, but I tried to find the common thread across them all.

DJ BIO
Founder of New York's first mobile record shop, Duty Free Records.

The unofficial mayor of Naarm aka Dawn Again brings us a gift from above, a three hour stopover filled to the brim with the deepest of chill core cuts and mind-bending principles. The literal embodiment of the soundtrack to spring. This is made for the sun. Slip, slop, slurrrrrp. Xo

FHUO # 89 // Dawn Again

As the annual trip to Houghton kicks into full gear, we're thrilled to announce the return of our close friend from the label, Picasso. 

Coincidentally, it’s been a  year since his last appearance on the show. Expect nothing short of an overflowing collection of fresh, mind-bending tunes, adorned with a touch of refined edits.

Known for delving into every nook and cranny when hunting for tracks in the depths of South London's most obscure record stores, he provides a soothing balm to land softly into the chaotic weekend ahead. We sincerely hope you enjoy.

Fraise Pres: Eclectic Blends on Voices Radio w/ Picasso 11.08.23

Sunday evening... An unexpected visitor from Chicago named duKe comes to Kiosk Radio to enjoy the good weather, music and vibes... all of a sudden the owner of the establishment asked if he would like to play... that was accepted and exclusively as an impromptu demonstration of finds from an afternoon spent digging at Crevette Records, and after an all-nighter at Fuse’s Motion Room. 
Lock in for the ride!

Live at Seekers x Faciendo's Weekender
Hoppetosse, Berlin, downstairs room
Sunday 11.02.2024 (2nd night) 
10:15PM - 01:00 AM

Live recording of one of my two sets at seekers x Faciendo’s weekender this winter. A special moment behind the booth of my favourite dance-(but-not-too-much)-floor, with great friends by my side and many familiar faces from here & abroad or lovely strangers in front of me. A recording can hardly translate the cosy atmosphere and the warm and round sound of this room, but here is a good memory to keep on the cloud! Sorry for the few dusty needles in the first hour.
