Others to the Front releases HoO Vol.2, a second compilation celebrating the third anniversary of the House of Others podcast. 120 mixes, curated by @materia_hache, that highlight House as a feeling rather than a genre, reaffirming our commitment to building a radical House community. Because we are still here, queer, black, brown, trans, dissident, undesirable, noisy, we are here and we are dancing, loudly. Because House is ours. Because it always was. And it will continue to sound, as proof of our collective existence.

A new sonic journey starts, one of 15 tracks that expand the frontiers of House as a space of resistance and shared ritual. Sounds from multiple geographies and bodies, a constellation of producers who claim this music as a territory of otherness, as a vital pulsation, as a political manifesto that vibrates in every beat. It does not ask for permission. It does not seek likes. It does not want to be a trend. It is made for the creatures of the night, for those who live on the margins, for those who know that dancing is also fighting. That making music from the otherness is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

In this second release, mastered by @lanasaints, the EP becomes an intimate and global conversation: Get ready to immerse yourself in scars turned into underground House for 1 hour, 23 minutes and 50 seconds. They are beats of worlds that do not yet exist. They are a rabid, bright and noisy embrace. Because we will not be erased. Because we create future in every track. HoO Vol.2 is a communal experience to be listened to with the whole body, to let yourself go unconditionally. It's here for when you need a refuge, an explosion, a caress or a trench. For when you need to remember that you are not alone.

Turn up the volume, press play... LET'S TAKE OFF!

HoO Vol.2

042 - MICHELLE MANETTI

1. DIEGORS – ESCALOFRIANTE
(05:01 – 121bpm) #House #AcidHouse #DeepHouse #JackingHouse

"The journey starts. The ritual begins. Imagine it's the early days of House and that either Ron, Hardy or Trent is playing that raw, dark, underground, deep music, somewhere in Maipú, Chile. Do you feel that acid? Do you hear how the jacking shakes our bodies and fades into the almost emotional ambient? It's almost midnight. Eyes closed. The atmosphere causes shivers, and yet it burns."

2. SEEPS – THE FUTURE, (WE’RE STILL WAITING)
(06:12 – 126bpm) #DeepHouse

"We open our eyes in Los Angeles, USA, where, as in the rest of the world, life is uncertain and unfair. Music plays, reminding us that the dancefloor is political territory, where rage shakes and quakes, and the body reclaims to the future: we are still waiting! It is difficult not to feel the weight of the past in every present. It blows a breeze charged with memories, where heroes and relatives give meaning to each beat, with an exclusive flavor."

***

BIO:
SEEPS, profoundly shaped by her Nuyorican roots in the Bronx, NY, cultivated a deep passion for dance, dance music, and its associated culture from an early age. Inspired by icons like Masters At Work, Pal Joey, Two Without Hats, and Deee-Lite, she was shaped by her massive family's spirited basement parties and their love for vinyl records. These early experiences played a crucial role in shaping her musical taste, production style, and record collection. During the pandemic, SEEPS seized the opportunity to showcase her talent through regular streaming sessions. Her infectious energy, extensive vinyl collection, and adept mixing of both vinyl and digital formats quickly drew the attention of industry greats. In LA, you can frequently catch SEEPS in action, whether at DJ Sneak’s CHI LOVES LA warehouse parties or at her own events which always celebrates the sounds of NYC.

4. FRISSON - DANCE ON
(04:51 – 126bpm) #House #BigRoomHouse #SummerVibes

"Flight to New York, in search of an antidote to the hard times, to the wear and tear of the world. The night continues and we enter a dive that vibrates: new refuge. We are in Rochester. An emotional, uplifting tune plays, reminding us that the fun has just begun, that after the storm always comes summer. The body gives in, loosens up: hips, shoulders, neck... Did you take the dancing caffeine? It’s the time!"

7. RIVA + BIANCA - BACK
(06:01 – 130bpm) #House #HardHouse

"We appear in Philadelphia to the rhythm of playful noises interwoven with percussion, while the funky bassline whispers that the call is as important as the response. Hi-hats and shakers with plenty of rebellious swing shape the groove in this laboratory of disobedient sound textures. It's 4 a.m. and a thick, sexy bass drags us to the eye of the hurricane, to the center of the dancefloor in a b2b that, if you know, you know."

3. PHOTONZ - EXTIMACY
(06:00 – 124bpm) #House #Techno

"We cross the Atlantic on a ghost ship, bound for Lisbon, Portugal. The club lights up as a sound barricade. It sounds like a driving rhythm, tense, on that fine line between Techno and House. The rawness cannot be disguised. Between red strobe lights, smoke, and bodies in trance, the extimacy appears: the otherness recognizes aspects of our interiority that we are not able to see. The community has arrived. You are not alone."

***

BIO:
Active in the Lisbon scene since the early 2000s, Photonz is a local mainstay whose work spans community projects like Rádio Quântica, mina and Planeta Manas, as well as a myriad solo releases and many hours behind the DJ booth, both locally and internationally.
His off-kilter yet dancefloor-ready music has resonated widely, with key releases on Unknown To The Unknown, Crème Organization, naive and a 2019 LP on San Francisco’s legendary Dark Entries.
Photonz has been touring far and wide, bringing his own genre-mangling sensibility and murky bangers. His sets can easily move between raw house & techno tracks to heads-down subwoofer rattlers - from bruk to dubstep and jungle - and euphoric, serotonin-depleting emo rave.

5. SPARKLY PONY - MAKE ME WAIT
(05:55 – 127bpm) #House #SummerVibes

"Delayed pads and real water recordings drag us through oceans, rivers and lakes... finally we arrive in Berlin where the summer is colliding with the first rays of sunshine. The dancefloor, barefoot and fierce, lays smiling on the sand. There is grain, there is texture, there is earth, there is history. There is a cool breeze that brings loops of voices with filtered whispers and an almost hypnotic melody that jumps between kicks, generating tension and release."

BIO:
Sparkly Pony is a DJ and producer known for bouncy rhythms and dreamy atmospheres. A lifelong lover of dance music, he began DJing in his teens. As co-founder of SWEAT, a queer & trans collective, he’s helped shape the Swedish and Danish club scenes since 2014.

Episode 29 brings Boymeetsgirl and Sam U into our Humble Abode.

The frost is gone, the sun returns. What better way to step into the new season than with a mix that feels both grounded and uplifting? Across 90 minutes, they deliver cuts that are deep, smooth, and playful, carrying a kind of dreamy charisma that feels perfect for those sun-filled days. This one's made for sitting in the park (where i'm writing from xx). Tuck in!

DIY DANCEFLOOR FOR FREAKS, QUEERS & FRIENDS
Party / Podcast / Record Label based between Berlin & Madrid

Others to the Front was born from the desire to create a non-existent and needed space, where it is possible to criticize, through music and dance, a system that oppresses us and which dictates rules to which we do not belong, nor to which we want to belong. Others to the Front is a political bet of transformation, intervention and action coming from the dancefloor, the club, the music, the mix, because otherness is so sexy!

Our wish: to promise us a better world!
