In this episode of Released Control we have the one and only James Tristan, who has prepared a mesmerising one-hour vinyl-only mix filled with obscure 90s gems, ranging from Progressive House, Euro House to Techno. Followed by a one-hour mix by radio host Eclectic Elektra, who dove deep into her collection for some old school House, Prog and Trance goodies.
The Nottingham based DJ and avid vinyl collector has over 10'000 records of old and new gems, which he happily shares with the world on his instagram vinyl blog. He recently started a new event series Electroground, bringing quality music to Nottingham mirroring the blend of genres from his mixes and vinyl collection.

— Q&A —

Thanks so much for recording this fabulous mix. How did you go about it?

[JT]: I started to pull out records a few weeks back and ended up with about 30. I played around with them for a couple of days and narrowed it down to 14. It took me three times to record it. I kept messing up one of the mixes. Lol.

What style of music do you play?

[JT]: I play two styles, new and old. Sometimes they fit together, other times I will just stick to one type. The newer stuff is mainly Trippy House and Techno. The older stuff ranges from Acid House, Italo House through to Euro, Prog and Techno. The mix for your show is all old 90’s records.

Have you ever played in Berlin?

[JT]: No, I was booked earlier this year but annoyingly the event got cancelled. I’ve visited 4 times over the years clubbing though. I made it to Bar 25 before it sadly closed. My last visit mainly consisted of a trip to Berghain which is still really good.

What do you have coming up for the rest of the year?

[JT]: I’ve got some guest spots in Barcelona and London coming up. Also, my new party in my adopted home city of Nottingham starts on the 14th October.

The Phonica artist and innovative house producer Harrison BDP steps up for the next edition of our mix series with a tipping of the hat to the many sounds of the clubbing 90's.
Having released on an array of big labels like Haŵs, Shall Not Fade and Lost Palms over the years Harrison has cemented himself as one of the solid names in UK house in modern years. We had a chat with Harrison about the mix and what he has coming up below:

We are very pleased to present French Brazilian DJ @flomasse on the mix series this week. Originally a drummer, the mix bears the hallmarks of someone finely tuned to rhythm, with twists and turns through percussive-driven house, prog and trance.
 
Catch her making a debut at Dimensions this summer - if this excellent mix is anything to go by we're in for a treat.

Seven hours recorded from the all night b2b between Christoffer aka C.K and myself. There isn't a lot of recordings from marathon sets up online, so thought this would be a nice one to share for those of you who like a long uninterrupted ride.

C.K and I are both from Denmark, and our friendship goes a long way back. We worked together on a vinyl only podcast in the late 00's on blogspot.com for those of you who remember those times digging through blogs and Myspace. Since then C.K has been producing amazing records and doing fantastic mixes on his Safe Radio series (highly recommended!) as well as help the local scene with a wonderful voluntary-run venue 'Super' in the city of Aarhus in Denmark.

It has been a long enjoyable ride to run my label Delaphine for 10 years, a ride of surprises, and this night was a such a ride as well. A fun back-to-back ping pong of followups, layups, and curve balls. We hope you enjoy the ride.

Thanks to the always amazing Aether Club team that consistently throughout the years have provided such an amazing space for electronic music in the heart of Budapest.

The Venezuelan born, Bogotá based selector and producer Enrique Leon aka Leeon pays homage to what the words "Deep House" mean to him with an excellent funky and vibey hour and half for us this month.
Over the last while Leeon has been making moves having appeared on the acclaimed Beats In Space alongside Tim Sweeney as well as dropping mixes on The Bunker NYC not forgetting spinning a lengthy one in Berlin's famous clubbing institution Berghain.

@Prosumer's beautiful set from The Beach on Friday, now available for your listening pleasure. One of the OG residents of P-Bar, for us very few play house as deep, classy and downright sexy as Achim.

He joins us again this summer in Tisno - hips at the ready 🪩

The very much in demand Dutch producer and DJ Eversines steps up for our 116th Phonica mix with over an hour of his own productions!

If you are just getting on the Eversines train you have missed quite alot of stops but its not too late to catch up. Having released on a wide range of labels like Slow Life, Nous'Klaer Audio and the label he co run's De Lichting; Eversine's (real name Remco Hazewinkel) has been considered an array of styles spanning techy, euphoric and ambient variations of house. These diverse styles has been showcased into his sets; ambient, deepness alongside pulsating acidy bass into pumping driven moments that have caused a sweat and huge clubs and festivals like the recently close De School and Dekmantel. We are delighted to have Remco added to our long running mix series with over an hour of his own productions from start to finish. We had a brief chat with him about the mix below and what he has coming up in the near future. This is Phonica Mix 116 - Eversines.

Not many people can combine the worlds of contemporary, avant garde and club sounds the way 'A Colourful Storm' label head Moopie can. Having birth the label out of the highly regarded mix series of the same name releasing names like Klon Dump, Valentina Magaletti and some beautiful compilations curated from Time Is Away to name a few, Moopie real name Matthew Xue, has shown he has a phenomenal ear for the diverse and interesting. This same ear also applies to his outstanding DJ sets which have seen him join stages with the likes of Ben UFO, Helena Hauff as well as taking the helms recently in Pickle Factory all night long to a solid packed venue til morning. For this mix Moopie has supplied us with a live recording of his opening set for Objekt and CCL in Melbourne. A perfect example of his vast stylings bringing the mood filled room into a raucous party. We had a quick chat about the mix, whats coming up and the label with the man himself.

For the first time in our 25-year history, we are releasing a live solo recording by Craig Richards from the club. 

“This mix was recorded on the second of December at a Continuum party. I commenced just after five and finished at nine. The heady combination of nostalgia coupled with the past, the future and more importantly my daughter dancing next to me, resulted in a mix that I felt happy with. Historically, I have been very self-critical and have chosen not to release many mixes. Across nearly four hours this one seems to encapsulate the twenty five years of playing at fabric. In 1998 I was invited by Keith Reilly to play weekly at what was an imaginary nightclub. I had no idea that experience would continue for so many years. Playing vinyl on that sound system and mixer is highly exciting and a joy in itself. I am delighted that this has been my method of sonic communication and remain deeply grateful for my ongoing residency.” - Craig Richards


Craig will be joining us at the club on 30th March to celebrate his 25-year residency with a 25-hour Continuum party.

We are straight outta the bank holiday here at Phonica and right back into business with another killer mix in our Phonica series from one of our all time favorites of late; Spotlight Records and Panorama Bar regular Chris Cruse.

We are straight outta the bank holiday here at Phonica and right back into business with another killer mix in our Phonica series from one of our all time favorites of late; Spotlight Records and Panorama Bar regular Chris Cruse.

Chris has been a predominant figure in the queer dance scenes in America and in Europe over many years having represented his mainstay party, now label, Spotlight from L.A., the Club Toilet Crew from Detroit and now residing in Berlin the last couple of years where he holds down regular slots at the city's major clubbing institution Berghain / Panorama Bar (most notably the party Snax which takes place there). Chris has dug deep  and worked hard with these residencies to showcase the queer roots of house, techno, disco, and other forms of dance music.
For Phonica 118 Chris takes us on a heated, hot and heavy club ready mix which would get anyone out to party. We sat down and had a lovely chat with Chris about his mix, his approach to DJing and what he has got up his sleeve for the future.For Phonica 118 Chris takes us on a heated, hot and heavy club ready mix which would get anyone out to party.

It is not everyday we are sent a 5 hour mix from someone we have asked to join our Phonica mix series; but when Sheffield & Manchester legend Luke Una sends one… you have to jump straight into it! Having become first recognised in the late 80’s and 90’s as one half of production team “The Unabombers” with Justin Crawford, Luke over the years has shown to be a master in all genres be it Balearic, to Brazilian to E soul, House, Disco and Techno, you name it! With his Worldwide FM show over the years gaining a cult following Luke has gained an even more of a broader crowd from his curation of his E Soul Cultura compilation series via the label Mr.Bongo (Both comps topping our EOY lists in 2022 and 2023). This exact vast taste (that is displayed in these compilations) is very much pummelled into this five hour journey of a mix like a piece of clay and sculpted into a fine piece of art. We had a chat with Luke about this timeless mix and what he has been up to lately: http://offtherecord.net/phonica-mix-series-119luke-una/
