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!

1 . The ratio of songs with vocals is much higher than the ones without, what is your relationship to words, singing and/or human made sounds when you approach a set?

Anyone that’s ever heard me play knows I’m a really big fan of vocals. The main thing that gets me about vocal trax is the meaning; I often play songs that reflect how I feel, or that express something that resonates with me.
It’s rare for me to find a vocal track that I don’t like, but it does happen. In that case I play the instrumental/dub and mix it with another vocal track instead.
 
2. We recognise some songs where samples have been taken from, I am thinking of Juicy from Notorious in particular - are you an avid digger of sample based songs?

Haha, definitely. Growing up on 90s hip hop in the early 2000’s and 2010’s I was schooled by many NY producers who would flip soul, funk, jazz samples left and right. At some point I started to recognize samples and was mindblown when I realized the favourite section of a hip hop track was actually a full song. One of the first records I ever bought was indeed “DeBarge – All This Love '' which was sampled on trax by Biggie, The Wu Tang Clan and AZ.
 
3. Coming back to the current situation, how has the last year been treating you in terms of musical approach?

Since I stopped gigging, I realised there was no big need to keep digging through dance music, and I spent quite a bit of time cleaning out my collection and digging through listening music I was familiar with but didn’t yet own.
 
This led to me falling into a rabbit hole of soul, jazz, funk, latin, soundtrack, reggae, hip hop and so much more. I still actively mixed dance music on a regular basis, but my sets tended to revolve around disco, jazz-funk, electro/electro funk and proto house.

Favorite Quote: Be genuinely nice to everyone always, you never know what the universe might have in store for you. Don't take anything for granted.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Don't stick to one genre, practice your craft as much as possible, learn the background of your scene and where does the music that you play come from. Get involved in your scene and try to support it as much as you can, you have a responsibility as a member of that community.

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!"

9. PANOOC - OH BOY
(05:42 – 136bpm) #House #Breaks

"With a long journey behind us, we camped out in London, UK. We dance our way down to a dark basement, diving into the roots of House music. A bittersweet emotion lifts our spirits, flirting with the Breakbeat. Synth lines and yearning vocals ring out, evoking the deepest sensitivities, begging for that which the world won’t give. The underground burns softly. The ocean linear awaits us. What time is it?"

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."

HatStandy & Kayshan - Firing Line (Retroid Remix)

"Floating" by Drawat is an aural odyssey that invites you to lose all sense of gravity. The track is built on a foundation of driving breakbeats, but they don't propel you onto a dance floor—they lift you into the stratosphere. A lonely, melancholic piano melody weeps gently through the ether, while mysterious synth pads unfold like a cosmic nebula, creating a soundscape that is both expansive and deeply intimate. This is the kind of sonic architecture that recalls the golden age of ambient electronica, echoing the ethereal, mind-bending spirit of pioneers like The Future Sound of London. "Floating" isn't just a song; it's a state of being, a journey to the quiet, serene space between thoughts.

Floating

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!
