Music For Heat Wave I

Long standing NTS DJ's and curators Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney, commonly known as Time Is Away, step up next for the 47th edition of the Off The Record mix series. Having been recognised for their vast knowledge of folk, esoteric and eclectic sounds which is displayed in their curated compilations for labels like A Colourful Storm and Efficient Space - they have also been known to dig deep into more clubbier sounds like house, rare leftfield and DIY electronics. For their mix Jack and Elaine focus more on the latter but bringing tracks that would pay homage to more melodic sounds. We had a brief chat with Time Is Away about the mix and what they have coming up.

Francesca Macri also known by her now well known moniker System Olympia has been stretching the genres of new-wave, disco and club sounds to her whim since the mid 2010's. With her 2020 debut album "Delta Of Venus" still in huge demand sitting on discogs for a keen collectors price it only speaks volumes about Macri's fan base. Having followed up her successful debut with the synth driven "Racing Heart" and the stunning "Always On Time" in more recent years, not to forget most recently her critically acclaimed new EP "Sanctified"; System Olympia has won fans over with her unique ear and keen eye to her sound, each time bringing something new to the table. As well as performing live shows, the artist also enjoys taking punters on journeys in her diverse DJ sets and this is where we move on to the mix. An hour of leftfield disco, rare boogie gems and synthy anthems all mixed to perfection. Pop that bottle of champagne, cue up the system and shine your phone light at the disco ball in your room.  This is Off The Record 48: System Olympia!

Off The Record is back for the 49th mix in its series! As we near half way to the golden centennial mix our eyes move over to two of the UK’s deepest diggers and independent musical minds.
Stuart Leath aka Chuggy is commonly known for his work running the very excellent Emotional Response / Emotional Rescue imprints as well as a few other note worthy projects and Piers Harrison – part of the Brighton four piece Soft Rocks with a mountain work out in the world as well as being a very solid selector; together they make up the Mysticisms label.

Mysticisms is an imprint that seems to focus on digging deep into the old as well as discovering the new and fleeting into obscure sounding club sounds. With a bag of certified legends like Persian and Nail along with more recent fresh names like Deep Dean & Coral D the label has perked ears from some of the biggest DJs in the game, not forgetting enticing the eyes with a solid visual aesthetic to match.

For Off The Record #49 Leath & Harrison put together some choice tracks from the label new and old. Mixed by Harrison it is a perfect calling card for the label and really showcases what its all about.

Off The Record returns with its semi-centennial mix from Dublin born, London residing guitarist, producer and DJ Glimmerman. 
Real name Ethan Begley Hughes, Glimmerman has found himself as a producer following two paths as of late. Firstly his three large sounding 2-step 12"s on Dublin's First Second Label as well being featured on EMA's powerhouse Woozy imprint compilations. Or secondly finding him taking centre stage as the lead guitarist in his most recent venture: post-rock band Better Living. Listening to his latest release "Temple Sublet" it definitely feels like these two crossroads meet somewhere in the middle (not to mention the excellent track featuring London wordsmith Old Brother). Aside from all of that Hughes has been known to be a solid pair of hands behind the ones and twos having this year alone taken to Berlin's Paloma as well as touching down in the usual London hotspots MOT, Avalon Cafe and Ormside projects. For this mix Glimmerman ventures into more techno inspired roots as well as letting rip with some guitar related influences while still showcasing his knowledge bassy and D&B sounds and of course all harmoniously mixed to perfection.

Not many people have done two Phonica mixes but Govind Singh is a man of many talents and his Silsila Dubs alias is something that we most definitely needed to visit.

A former staff member of Phonica and now handling things at Above Board Distribution it goes without saying that Govind lives and breathes this industry. Commonly known under his Kylin Tyce guise which has put out garage, house and a little bitta D&B for labels like Tesselate, PIV and Oldivibes over the years he has now focused on another deep love of his.
Silsila Dubs is two records deep now and is all about Govind's passion for Dub and soundsystem culture. Having had both his debut "Perseverance" and his follow up "Walk The Light" (featuring Trumpet from our own Luther Vine) being blessed at Notting Hill Carnival by the legendary Aba shanti I soundsystem it only speaks volumes of Govind's in-depth knowledge and ear for this sound.
For Off The Record 51 we asked Govind to put his Silsila Dubs hat on and show us what inspired and is currently motivating the project with an hour of Dub selections.

We unveil Ambiotica EP, the latest addition to our catalog by @odnmusique , a Québec-based artist and co-founder of Saisons Musique, who also curate the downtempo label, Phases.

This two-track journey invites listeners to immerse themselves in a vibrant electronic cosmos, where dub vibrations resonate through minimalistic reverie.

'Ambiotica' unfolds as a hypnotic exploration of soundscapes that ebb and flow, drawing the listener into a dreamlike dance of rhythm and texture.

Complementing it, 'Biosis' channels the organic pulse, merging intricate patterns with meditative energy that bridges the realms of downtempo serenity and the slower side of house music.

We hope you’ll enjoy as much as we do !

We change up the pace for Off The Record 52 with Palestinian/Egyptian DJ & producer Oldyungmayn.
With a multifaceted identity layered through both his productions and performances, influenced from 90's era rave, sharpened sound design, and a wide spectrum of music he fiinds these stylings have taken him to the decks at Amsterdam’s Garage Noord, Herrensauna and a performance at the experimental festival CTM to name a few. For this mix Oldyungmayn digs deep into more leftfield sounds and less so 4/4 club sounds, that being said this mix can find its way to being played at all hours of the night. Driving yet euphoric. We had a very brief chat with the artist about the mix and what he has coming up.

Don't Make Me Wait

"Awaken" es una canción tribal vibrante que captura la esencia de la conexión con la naturaleza a través de su energía propulsora y una percusión orgánica que invita al movimiento. Con ritmos envolventes y melodías hipnóticas, la canción nos transporta a un estado de conciencia primitiva, despertando instintos ancestrales que nos conectan profundamente con la Madre Tierra. A medida que avanzan los compases, "Awaken" nos impulsa a liberar nuestras emociones y a sincronizarnos con el pulso de la vida, celebrando la esencia de ser parte de este mundo maravilloso. Este himno contagioso es una llamada a la acción, un recordatorio de que debemos honrar nuestras raíces y vivir en armonía con el entorno que nos rodea.

Magic Teapot Records is an exclusive online record store in Barcelona, but also a recently launched record label (run by Daniel Baughman— A&R at Hivern Discs, booker at audiophile venue Nica —, Marco Gegenheimer - who releases on Studio Barnhus as MLiR - and Jens Ingelstedt). The DJ duo though is made up of Baughman and Gegenheimer, and when they come together they unleash hidden vinyl gems that get you dancing and romancing. Their sound is one that has a lot to say and draws on steamy tropical delights and intoxicating world music that could be thirty years old or brand new. 

Their mix for us is a 90 minute live recording of them doing what they do best at Nica, namely taking us around the globe on a real adventure that has a sense of musical wanderlust running right through it. There are intimate moments of acoustic heaven bleeding into soft, drunken synths and glorious passages of churning reggae and twinkling disco along the way. It’s music with meaning threaded together by a air of expert curators.
