15th Hizou podcast by Aleqs Notal:

Based in Paris, France, Alexis Talneau aka Aleqs Notal is a French DJ and producer. Born in the 80’s in the Paris suburbs, this underground music enthusiast could already be found behind the decks in the mid- 2000’s. The variety of formats through which he transmits music is dominated by a predilection for vinyl records which he collects from an early age. Notal belongs to a generation of artists building on nearly 2 decades of experience in their feld.  
Combining infuences from Detroit and Chicago, the sound that defines him reflects his early and endless fascination for the sharpest percussions. The always widening range of inspirations he puts forward, bears witness to the musical exploration he has been passionately leading over the years. From the most soulful House anthems to the deep Techno rhythms, the possibilities are endless.   

Coming from the Hip-Hop scene, he's no stranger to live performances. In early 2000's, after winning a few scratching DJ competitions (DMC, Red Bull...),  he makes a world tour for a few years with a French Hip-Hop group. While traveling, he began to dig underground House and Techno records and gain a foothold in the electronic music scene.

More than ten years after he started live shows, 2014 saw the release of his first extended project as Aleqs Notal, composer and music producer on ClekClekBoom Recordings. 
Bringing a raw yet lunar House sound with a seizing analogic feeling, he expresses that hybrid identity through involvements in the Paris Club Music compilations. After releasing the deep and powerful EP on Michael Zucker label Finale Sessions from Orlando in 2016, 2017 saw Aleqs Notal’s affirmation on the international scene with 
“Ascending Nodes”, on Patrice Scott label from Detroit, Sistrum Recordings.
In 2018 he went to Lagos in Nigeria, playing at the Fela Kuti's New Afrika Shrine and making an EP with Nigerian percussionist Wura Samba called The "Paris-Lagos Soundscapes" out on Phonogramme Recordings. 


Notal has been carrying out his activity of DJ sharing the stage with some of the most renowned DJs and producers like Larry Heard, Moodymann, Patrice Scott, Mike Huckaby, Paul Johnson, Honey Dijon, Rich Medina, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Gregory, DJ Jus-Ed, Mike Servito, Jenifa Mayenja, Aybee, Shanti Celeste, Kyle Hall, DJ Fett Burger and more...  
He gained a great visibility on Paris scene thanks to recurring shows at renowned clubs like Concrete, La Machine or Rex Club. The word is also spreading worldwide with frequent shows on Rinse France and playing at venues like Panorama Bar, Tresor, Fabric London, Contra, Cakeshop, Pistil in Seoul, B1 Taipei in Taiwan... 
 

Now Aleqs Notal regularly releases his music on international labels like Sistrum Recordings, Phonogramme, Visions, Release Sustain, and more... He continues to share his vibes and energies in frequent gigs and radio shows.   
In 2020 he launch his own label, Industrial Light (I.L. Recordings).

Immersed in music from a young age, Suze Ijó's path inevitably led her into the world of song and dance. The Rotterdam native found herself drawn to dancing and collecting records; a passion that notched up a level after she became a First Floor member.

A communal hub that used to exist in her home city, the space was designed for music lovers to come together to play, listen and talk, as well as collaborate on private events that are influenced by David Mancuso's infamous Loft parties.

That Loft manifesto feeds into the sounds in her own DJ sets too, whether in the booth or on the waves. From infectious Chicago house to uplifting 80s cuts and warm, soulful grooves; the mood transports you back to the heydays where dance floors were becoming spaces for freedom, self-expression and connection. It's music to bring people together, music to get you moving, and music to lose yourself in.

That's exactly the aim she has in mind with her Shine A Light On mix. A dedicated digger, fuelled all the more by her time spent behind the counter at Clone Records where she worked for three years, Suze dips into her collection to deliver an hour of music that touches on shuffling piano-led house, bouncy broken beat and synthesized 80s funk.

Suze Ijó: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Klasse Wrecks gives praise to Richard Brown. We are big fans of his music - from the techno driven productions of Cherry Bomb, to the progressive house and tech house collaborations(as Rhythm Invention and Swag respectively), and the sonic innovations under his own name - every Richard Brown song has an inimitable and unique sonic quality that is instantly recognisable.

Part 1 is compiled and mixed by Mr. Ho, stay tuned for Part 2 coming soon from Luca Lozano.

Raucous club jams from the trio setting pace for a new generation of electronic fans: Dazegxd, gum.mp3 & Swami Sound, AKA EldiaNYC.

Something exciting is happening on the margins of online club music. As one generation ages out, another, predominantly made up of Zoomers and Zillennials who fell into rave music mid-pandemic or arrived via gaming, is on the rise. Some of the most dialled-in electronic fans out there have threadbare connection to formalised nightlife, filling their diet instead with DJ Ess, Jane Remover, Jet Set Radio and a thriving ecosystem of global splinter styles that would draw stares from anyone who settled into their preferences pre-2019. 

Leading the charge—while pointedly reaffirming the value of connection as they go—are EldiaNYC, whose combination of jungle, garage, vintage Black American dance music, regional rap and screen-glued splinter styles hits like a shot of adrenaline. Swami Sound broke first with sexy drill-laced 2-step edits, and last year we named gum.mp3's "Black Life, Red Planet" as one of our favourite records—but it could have just as easily been Dazegxd's breaks-splicing "exhibition mode" instead.

Eldia stack sets on radio and at parties with startlingly-fresh producers, many still in their teens. This might also be the only RA Podcast to fold in soulful ghettotech from Mr De', head-in-the-clouds plugg from rising star 454, edits of both Bounty Killer and Toro Y Moi, and multiple names (Guido YZ, synta3x, DJ B) who haven't registered on the series before.

With one eye on the occasion, Eldia tip their hats to lineage, too. The trio kick off with a double scoop of Fred P, before ramping up steadily through slick forthcoming material and ironclad modern anthems on their way to a crescendo of footwork chops, baile drums and breakbeat delirium.

Leaders of a new wave in the US, it surely won't be long before Daze, gum and Swami have swept the international circuit. For now, RA.977 will leave your subs smoking.
