RADIO D59B / PONOCNI PROGRAM #55 w/ DJ Brka (the Best Of 2024, Sort Of)

www.openlab.fm | 106.4FM in Ibiza & Formentera

Over the years, I’ve done more than 100 shows across various stations. Yet no matter how many I do or who it’s with, I still get just as excited as I did for my very first desk pop at RTRFM, many moons ago.

Australia takes me back to the first time I locked eyes on the sweet and unassuming Nick Mulvey. My mates and I caught him on tour with Ben Howard, and let’s just say—his musicianship absolutely blew us away. From that moment on, I was a massive fan (even though I’d already been hooked since the early Portico Quartet days).

Fast forward nearly a decade, and there’s Nick standing outside my café, WOM Radio Café Ibiza, asking if he could come in for a bite before we’d even opened. It felt like another one of those serendipitous moments that life throws your way.

I joked that he could have one of my famous burgers on the house—if he played a set for us at WOM. He respectfully declined. Haha.

But a few years and a few more chance encounters later, we were friends—brothers, really—soul-searching through life and riding the waves of the island together. Nick ended up performing a deeply intimate gig at WOM last year, one that’s now etched into the venue’s history. We shared that moment, not just as artist and host, but as friends.

Now, one year on, we’re creating the stage again, this time at a sold-out Teatro Pereyra Ibiza on April 4th, alongside OpenLab Radio, Tintin Chambers, Strictly Poolside, and Antonio Prosper.

Back on the radio today, it’s about celebrating music, life’s wild journey, and the beautiful way moments weave themselves together across time. And above all, it’s about remembering to have fun.

Because if you’re not having fun… what’s the fucking point?

Word Of Mouth 79 - Harry Charles [with Nick Mulvey]

"I am a fragment of the world spirit, the genius loci of Revachol. My heart is the wind corridor. The bottom of my air is red. I have a hundred thousand luminous arms. Come morning, I carry industrial dust and let it settle on tree leaves. I shake the dust from those leaves and onto your coat. I've seen you, I've seen you! I've seen you with her — and I've seen you without her. I've seen you on the crescent of the hill."

Shivers come when the temperature drops and you become more keenly aware of your surroundings. It enables you to hear the city itself, to truly belong to the streets. It is a supra-natural ability; old wrongs play out in present time, scenes across the city happen in front of you. But who is speaking to you?

At high levels, Shivers may make you seem mad to the outside world – as you listen to the city, you don’t listen to others. Your superiors may begin to worry. With a low Shivers, though you will seldom hear the city speaking to you – and if you cannot hear it, how can you ever save it? 

This is the first part of my tribute mix series about the game called Disco Elysium.

Fade In Gently 15 April, 2025

Avenue Red welcomes back Glasgow DJ & producer Chris Curtis AKA Theta Waves (moniker for his deep & moody production works). Here we have an immaculate and expansive 2+ hour mix session whose centre of gravity is firmly in the sphere of planet deep techno.

And here's some related news... We are hosting an Avenue Red event @ OverDraught in Levenshulme, Manchester on Saturday 10th May from 3pm-1am, where you can catch Chris playing alongside Dubrovnik (UK) (also travelling down from Glasgow for the occasion), Tomas Bexton heading up from Maidstone in Kent and Avenue Red boss Alec Pritchard all commandeering the decks. Get involved!

"Electronic music hasn't just always been a love of mine but playing a set has always been a great way to de-stress and focus on nothing but music for a few hours. Last year was a busy year as I kicked off a new night in Glasgow (Trace) which ran for 6 months, plus preparing the monthly subSine Sessions show takes some time, although it's something I love putting together.

A short while ago I had an opportunity to spend an evening putting a mix together with no reason other than getting into the music and seeing where the journey took me. As opposed to playing live, putting a mix together gives you a great opportunity to plan a set list that really evolves and puts thought to deep transitions.

Unlike most of my other mixes this one was totally unplanned. The only thing I had in mind was capturing the essence of a Trace night into a compressed set of around 2 hours, feeling the vibe as I went, so I guess this is more like a live set in some ways.

When I'd finished the mix I thought this would be a good contender for Avenue Red, I'm glad Alec agreed.

I use Traktor with timecode vinyl on 1210s. Although a pain sometimes in a club it's great for the home setup as it allows me to switch between digital tracks and vinyl without anyone noticing. This also lets me play loads of unreleased material on the monthly subSine show. The Pioneer DJM800 is my weapon of choice mixer-wise.

Delighted to be providing another instalment of Avenue Red. Thanks Alec. Full track list to follow. Thanks for listening." Chris Curtis, April 2025

Simpler Times Mix 001: David - A Long Way To Go

I’ve been meaning to resurrect the Dusky Delay mix series for quite some time since I left Openlab radio a couple of years ago. Well, it’s back! bi-monthly transmissions will appear here on SoundCloud from now on.

This episode was inspired by a recent trip to the Isle of Skye to play at the magical Skye live festival. Special times with special people in one of the most beautiful places on the planet!

Peace & love
