Others to the Front is releasing its first compilation EP next week, celebrating the second anniversary of the House of Others podcast, with the desire to continue strengthening the community, in permanent construction around HoO and its radical love for underground House culture, which has as its mission to bring back this Queer & POC music to its legitimate audience.

All the DJ-producers participating in this EP are already HoO's acquaintances. They shared their story in a 2-hour mix, making us walk through their vision of House, in dialogue with their other lives, resistant and rebellious lives, never banal and always disobedient.

Formed by 14 tracks that in alliance reclaim House music as the music of the otherness, as a safe place to let ourselves be, to question and seduce ourselves to the rhythm of melodies loaded with for-coming. 14 dissident pills make up this compilation, a celebration of the existence of Queer & POC bodies. An EP that dances collectively in search of the common history of the otherness. Deep bass lines that tell our history in the key of Groove, a history which remains, even today, clandestine, and unknown to many.

Get ready to travel through suggestive and dissident soundscapes, experiences of otherness that connect us and remind us that we are not alone, rhythms that move and transform the soul of the listener. The tracks of this EP tell a story and exist with you, they are just there and ask for nothing in return. They are there for when you want to feel them. They exist in case you need them. They are there for you to play on any dance floor that sweats glitter. They exist for you to dance to how, where and with whom you want. 

HoO vol.1 is the shared experience of 14 stories of 16 producers who travel together transatlanticaly, during 1 hour 18 minutes 41 seconds, in the format of House electronic music. A journey to dive into the overflowing world of the most underground House culture. All are welcome. Who enters, stays. The time has come, put on your best dance clothes, tie your shoe laces, fill your water bottle, because the dance starts here. WE ARE TAKING OFF!

GET IT NOW!

HoO Vol.1

Satoshi & Makoto's exclusive mix for Rainbow Disco Club 2022 podcast:

“These are a selection of several songs from past Satoshi & Makoto gigs. The sound is a gentle yet somewhat immersive atmosphere with the slightly hushed tones of an old Casio CZ-5000 synthesizer and an ensemble of pianos. It will be different from the live set at RDC and we hope you will enjoy both.”

“過去のSatoshi & Makotoのライブから数曲抜粋した音源です。カシオCZ-5000という古いシンセのややこもった音色とピアノによるアンサンブルで、穏やかながらどこか没入していくような雰囲気のサウンドです。RDCでのライブセットとはまた異なりますのでどちらもお楽しみいただければ幸いです。”

2. DON ESQUIVEL – TRÓPICO
(04:51 – 129bpm) #DubHouse #DeepHouse

We continue with a dubby vibe. Its dawn in Mexico and there is a breeze. We dance on a beach with a sample under our arm that transports us directly to the Solid Groove label. It could be the 2000's. It's a soundscape full of sentimental and nostalgic pads, where Mr. Fingers and Basic Channel merge in love and harmony in a village in Michoacán. How good this trip feels.

BIO:
DJ and producer originally from Michoacán Mexico and based in CDMX. Don Esquivel focuses his sound on house music, techno and its variants. Part of the roster of Por Detroit, an itinerant rave in Los Angeles and CDMX oriented to dissidents.

"A track inspired by the beach, the sunrise and the breeze, made from a sample that I found by chance, but I had heard it in a Solid Groove song of the 2000's, so the sound of the song also seeks to give that feeling for that years, something nostalgic and full of sentimental pads."

3. AKUMEN – LIGHT MY FIRE
(04:34 – 126bpm) #House #DeepHouse

We have landed in Los Angeles, USA. Our bodies are trippin’ with this bass roller, smoothed out with Rhodes-style piano chords. It's groovy but not heavy. A track that, without asking for permission, sets the dancefloor on fire, inviting us to join this journey without stop moving. We have to take the transatlantic line. What time is it? What day is it?

BIO:
Akumen (he/him) is an LA-based producer, DJ, and co-founder of Made to Move, a monthly event and live stream radio show. With a versatile sound that ranges from atmospheric, breaky, and lush cuts to high octane, full-on rave tracks, Akumen's tracks engage a variety of listeners. He has made notable releases on respected local labels like Juke Bounce Werk and Gyration Station, as well as New York's Fortune Signal. As a skilled DJ, Akumen seamlessly blends house, breaks, and rhythmic techno, delivering high energy sets at bars, clubs, warehouses, and through his monthly streams on Dublab.

"This is a fun early evening track. It is made for opening the night, warming people up to the dance floor. Something that is groovy yet not heavy. I used Rhodes-style piano chords to bring in a soft lead to the thick bassline. It should light your fire to dance!"

4. GIO - MISSA 7AM
(07:08 – 130bpm) #DeepHouse #ProgressiveHouse #TribalHouse 

It could be Sunday, the bells are ringing and it's time to go to mass. We are in Berlin, it sounds like a small town in Brazil. Its 7 o'clock in the morning, we reluctantly live it behinsd and are ready to dance to this exhilarating spiritual rhythm. Our past must be danced through. We swap the church pews for Tribal House and get back on the dancefloor.

BIO:
GIO (Giovani Goltara, he-him) has discovered that electronic dance music is where he feels most comfortable expressing himself. Ever since his early rave days, he's been drawn to electronic beats infused with Latin American rhythms. Digging through records from the 1990s, GIO uncovered a treasure of productions that appropriated diverse sonorities from the global south. Now, he's on a mission to bring these sounds back and re-appropriate them for queer dance events, particularly in Berlin, where he's been organizing parties since 2021. One of his standout events is Coven, which focuses on celebrating queer Latin American culture through music and dance.

"Missa 7am is a visit to my Christian roots. Originally from a small town, my main musical outlet was church. For a decade, I played keyboards at Catholic masses, weddings and events. As I recorded the synthesizers for this track, I remembered Sunday mornings, reluctantly going to church, except when I was there to play. The atmosphere of those days remained etched in my memory, but fortunately, I traded the church pews for the dancefloor."

5. FEASTING - INVANO
(05:47 – 130bpm) #ItaloHouse #TranceHouse #TribalHouse

Without going far, while staying at 130bpm with the celestial rhythm ascending, in this Italo-House-Trance spacey cut. We are still in Berlin, even though now it smells like Santiago de Chile, reminding us of the migrant experience, that strange idea of crossing the Equator in a matter of hours, and crossing the fragile summer-winter temporal membrane. The impossible bouquet.

BIO:
Feasting (Miguel Jara, he) is a migrant queer DJ, born in Santiago de Chile and based in Berlin for more than a decade. His music makes visible the queer roots of electronic music and the dancefloor as an engine for social change. 
His spectrum of sounds has a broad understanding of house in the realm of deep, progressive and power house, with a high energy and marked Latin influences.
In 2020, together with his queer family, he founded the Coven collective, his current residency and main project, an event that has gained respect and recognition in the Berlin underground, focusing on migrant artists and/or artists from the global south.

"The image behind this track comes from an art historical topic: the impossible bouquet. Baroque painting was obsessed with the impossible idea of reproducing images of flowers that in reality could never coexist given their blooming at different times of the year. The migrant experience (especially for those of us born in the southern hemisphere) sometimes goes hand in hand with experiences of contemporary existence: the strange idea of crossing the Equator in a matter of hours, and of course, experiencing winter and summer separated by the fragile temporal membrane of a transatlantic flight."

9.	PANOOC - TOUCH
(06:11 – 131bpm) #House #Hardgroove #HiEnergy 

After recharging our energies we open our eyes in Scotland, UK.  We head straight to the club´s dancefloor to seduce and touch each other dancing with this sexy and eerie Hi-Energy tinged track. Feel the 80's twist that's distinctly queer, deep & sensual, before submerging yourself into a dreamlike finale. A time hole appears, taking us back to where we came from. The spiral starts.

BIO:
Originally a jazz saxophonist and forever influenced by electronic music in all its forms, Trans DJ/Producer/Instrumentalist Panooc (They/Them), jumped into the NYC House & Techno music scene in 2011, producing and releasing tracks on legendary labels such as King Street Sounds and Ultra Music/Sony before cultivating a name for themselves locally and internationally as an accomplished DJ, radio host and co-organizer of XOXA NYC.       
When it comes to musical chops, Panooc is second to none, and you can hear it in every track they produce and every DJ mix they perform. Their deep reverence for a variety of styles and their deft combinations of rhythm and melody are a true pleasure for the ears and a salve for the soul, finding that dance floor inside each of us where we are truly free.

"I wrote this track in the midst of winter and I'm finding more and more during those seasons I get into a deeper zone with sounds so wanted to come up with a house track with an 80's twist that's distinctly queer, deep & sensual, before submerging into a dreamlike finale - it's a track you could fit into an array of dancefloor moments and moods :)"

1. AWOOD – RIDE WITH YOU
(04:46 – 135bpm) #DubHouse #DeepHouse

This story begins in Vancouver, Canada. We land as the music starts to play and we feel a strong vibe, in key of Dub House, of open spaces and wide horizons, it smells of freedom. Can you smell it? With delicate synthesizers supported by a thick bass line, we start the engines towards a warmer dimension. The Groove begins. And don't let it stop!

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!
