Based in Bristol, Ekto a.k.a. @erst-dj is a producer & DJ that takes the sounds of 90s rave and hardcore and twists them into new shapes - his productions can take influence from anything from the dubbed out grooves of bleep techno to full throttle jungle breakbeat chaos. In collaboration with @hartta, “The Happy Hardcore Hit of the Summer” takes the euphoric fairground stabs and diva vocals of happy hardcore, and sends them in a darker direction.

Out now on streaming platforms + available for download as part of “The Grooveyard: Volume 2” on cassette tape and digital format ⛓️

Not Like That, Not Like You

Not Like That, Not Like You [Worldwide Unlimited]

@maxcleo

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself? 

I’m Dre, I’m from Kansas and I live in Philly. 

What is your most played track?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teFsHLBOFfo

Describe the vibe of your ideal party? Space? Smell? Drinks? Anything you can think of ;)
 
Low lighting and friendly faces


Dream b2b? 

Tough one… I suppose if talent, time period, and worthiness aren’t a factor then I would say someone like Larry Levan or Frankie Knuckles just to watch them work. 


Ideal booth set up? 

Anything with a working play/cue button 

Guilty pleasure track?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCoF1Y0L7bs

Mentor in djing?

Universal Cave. They are buddies of mine in Philly. They have great taste and play like every style of music you could imagine. Love those dudes <3

Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation & you give me a track 

** Relaxing at the bottom of the sea

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFVsMRElP0U

** 5 pina coladas in…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCHRCTHUb9U

**1 track to sum up 2020 to your co workers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNIZofPB8ZM

** Burning Man but make it fashion

Lol wait I thought Burning Man WAS fashion now 
 
Advice to beginning djs?

Patience

Describe the best dj/live set you have seen this year? 

Popped into Nowadays at like 5 am a few weeks back and caught Analog Soul playing after Stingray which was a ton of fun, but other than that I’ve been on a winter rave hiatus. Now that we are all quarantined I am questioning that decision ;)

Most underrated artist at the moment?

Underrated is a weird term for me because I feel like everyone gets shine in their own way, but some artists/djs I really enjoy here in Philly that aren’t HUGE are Ulla, Dj Love, Sweater, Pontiac Streator, and Dj Delish but that’s just to name a few. Seeing great locals is just part of living here. 

What is your prediction on the next music genre re-vamp 2020?

Idk but I really like Trip Hop right now.

Fav club drink? 

Tequila. 

Describe what you would want your rider to look like as a DJ all star playing Ibiza… 

High Life and a bag of cutie mandarins. 

Favorite DJ trick?

I don’t have many tricks honestly, but I do love finding the weirdest/perfect time to play Fleetwood Mac.

Describe the first moment where you had an epiphany about your love for music?

First moment is hard to pin down but I do remember being 4 years old or so and always asking my dad to put on old classics like Marvin, Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, etc. Had a huge Spice Girls moment at one point and I def look back on that as some super early dance music love lol

DJ dream of yours?

For someone to invent something that prevents you from pulling out the usb that’s playing the fucking track . 

Any advice about what to do with free time during this moment of social distancing? 

Work on things that make you feel good. For me making tracks and finding diy projects around the house are really helping right now. 

Venmo or contact info to support a local club who is undergoing hardship

There is an underground spot here called Dustbunny that is so so important to so many Philly dancers and they deserve all the love right now. Venmo is @dustbunny666 <3

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Just that all the DIY venues across the states and beyond can keep their rent paid long enough to put this covid shit behind us. Small venues have a hard enough time keeping the doors open without throwing a pandemic into the mix, and they are so so important to any kind scene or culture or whatever you wanna call it. We can’t lose them.

DJ Dre - 570˚

NTS/Mutualism resident @clemencydj brings us a phenomenal 2 hour mix that explores all areas of the textural and murky, all whilst steering clear of inserting any overt instruction for the listener. Subjective, dark, with plenty of beauty sprinkled in - this is one to listen to start to finish.

Anuraag for NTS & Anu

@vani_t

Introduce yourself? Hello hello hellooooo
Preferred pronouns? she/her
Where do you currently reside? just outside Belfast very recently

How is everything going with you right now?

How much time you got? ;P I'm going through change and constant flux, learning every day and staying present amongst the uncertainty.

Who currently inspires your music-wise?

My Climax babes Lucy X (@lucyecstasy) and Abnama(@abnama) inspire me all the time, sharing music with them stimulates me a lot and makes me feel really connected to sound and why I love it and they connect me to myself. Then when we bring it all together, fusion & magic! We are constantly morphing in sound too.  I first started mixing on Lucy X’s decks and she inspired me to keep exploring them. Her ear, craft, and authenticity blow me away every time. I am inspired by Tommie True, my friend and collaborator (Satoena & spit service) Tommie shares powerful messages through voice and sound and I can’t wait to play live with her. stay tuned for more spit service!!

I really love what Berkley and Jonathan are doing, I love couple duos.

I am inspired and excited by what's coming out of  Ruin, a necessary and empowering femme voice in these times.

Noff Weezy (@noffweezy) is a mad phreak for sound and I am really inspired by her drive and obsession with it.

Sophie Sweetland (@-tiffany)is a big inspo to me, has helped me trust myself a lot, and always inspired by what she creates. She can go everywhere and isn’t defined by one thing. she gives many people the opportunity to explore through sound .. shares her resources and is a massive inpso to everyone around her. Girl daddy of the dance community I think.

my oozey friend Special Guest DJ (@specialguest-dj), the records he puts out and creates are filled with such depth and experimentation. he is mad for lifting up friends and providing opportunity too. 


4 djs you would want to see on a lineup for the first party post covid asap?

Lucy X, Abnama , Yoni, The neighbourhood character,


What other activities have you dipped into with a break from djing?

I like to read a lot. I spend time thinking about histories, mythologies.. and try to express my adoration of all of these through music. 

I’ve taken a bit of a career change and I'm now a care worker checking in and looking after the most vulnerable in the communities over here which feels very grounding and keeps me grateful and appreciative of what I have around me. it’s challenging work but I love to challenge myself and see what comes out of this in the future. 



Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation & you give me a track

Why do you think it's important to share music?

It's a way to connect, some sounds trigger something in us, and when that little thing makes someone else feel the same way it's cool. we can express how we’re feeling through sharing music. And inspire each other, challenge each other with the discovery of different sounds. and keep pushing it together, that's why I love working with lucy x and abnama through climax, they challenge me and we like to push each other with our differences and similarities in sound too..and to keep rocking not stopping with that.. you share yourself by sharing music. sometimes no communication needed when u share music together.

Vani-T - 33˚

Release date: February 5th 2021
The First Second Label family return for 2021 with Housebreaker, the highly anticipated return of ELLLL following her much loved Febreeze EP from 2019. Comes with an ace Slo’ Motion refix from Parris!
Haunted, scattered breaks loom over the title track, a modern apocalyptic Hardcore journey where rave sirens puncture the feverous rinse-out tension throughout. The Alantis Dub flips the script, doubling down on the atmosphere while upping the tempo to screw-face the chaos within its experimental D’n’B fever dream. Both tracks showcase ELLLL’s exceptional production chops with its nuanced textural trickery & immersive sound design skills. London’s Parris then rewires the OG, simmering the tempo down low to 110bpm for a sinister nocturnal skank for the night fiends who thrive when entering into first light.
All tracks made in Berlin by Ellen King except B2. remixed by Parris. Design by DC FSLMan. Back photo by Ellen King.
