This year marks 15 years since I started my service in the online underground. Time flies when you are having fun right?! I remember when I (as non dj) heard something on the radio back then, that was just it. Nobody put that on soundcloud or youtube for you to listen to again. I was telling myself there must be more people that want to listen to some tracks over and over again. That's how it all started. Ripping tracks from radio shows, uploading some cool tracks that were hot in that time period (remember post-dubstep & future garage?),there were even a few people sending me their music to upload! The moment I started doing the video edits was life changing. Not only for me but for all the people we (music youtubers) made hot in the era of lo-fi house. Happy to see some of them rockin big stages today!

Since then, this has been my everyday, 24/7/365! Paid my dues & made the sacrifices. Was it worth it? Damn right! Though I have to admit that I never intended to start djing myself. I was forced to by the community! I am happy I sold my bike so I can buy speakers and started.

Music took me around the world. With music I met a bunch of amazing people who did not hesitate to spend their money and time just to meet the guy they know from youtube. For this I will forever be grateful!

Like 5 years ago, also this time I have a mix for you! I just wanted to put together a mix full of my all time favorite jams. The result is an almost six hour journey through different genres & styles. I also wanted to include music made by people I have some history with. Baltra, Bambounou, Fjaak, Route 8 or Kettama, to name a few (and a whole lotta more!). Expect a lot of hits! Slow jams, House, Techno, UK sound and more.

Thanks for believing in me, it truly means everything!

One of Carl Craig's most iconic and influential early productions gets an official digital release for the very first time, newly remastered for 2025.

Taken from Jean-Cosme Delaloye's forthcoming documentary film, 'Desire: The Carl Craig Story', which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2024, 'No More Words' is a classic C2 production originally released in 1991 that became one of Detroit Techno's foundational tracks, capturing the emotive synths and tight grooves of Carl Craig’s sound that would soon resonate across dance floors worldwide.

Stay tuned for more news of the official soundtrack for Desire: The Carl Craig Story, coming soon on Planet E Communications.

With character and a refreshing light-heartedness, DJ City has built a strong following on European dancefloors over the last few years. Drawing from both old school Chicago, Italo, and contemporary producers, he playfully navigates the elements that make up a well-constructed dance floor. After a string of releases on labels such as Public Possession, he now also runs BAD DAD, his own party in Berlin, within which he cultivates, experiments, and plays around with the fundamentals of what it is to be a DJ. For the 51st edition of PHANTASYMIX, he's on hand to present a contemporary but classic vista of the timeless four-to-the-floor sound:

"There’s a lot happening in house music at the moment so I wanted to focus on recent releases for this mix. At the same time, you’ll hear a lot of grooves and moods that you'll instantly recognize and be familiar with. I love how House music always is referencing and pointing back in history. It constructs narratives and relationships that span time and space, something that feels extra important to me right now." DJ City

For Viscera 131, Kléo joins the series! 

“House is a feeling, a community, and a celebration of life.” For DJ, producer, and visual artist Kléo aka Clélia Zida, House music is a guiding light. French-born and Amsterdam-based, her love affair with the genre began two decades ago. She leads every dancefloor from the heart, with emotion, energy, and togetherness at its core. In her seamless mixes, the mood effortlessly shifts—from stripped-down, raw, and unapologetic jacking grooves to warmer percussive layers and vocal-driven energy with emotional resonance.

In early 2024, she launched her label Call 4 Rhythm, debuting with her first self-produced single, Agogo.. Across Agogo, Kléo reaffirms her commitment to House music’s ethos, blending squelchy TB-303 acid licks, jazz-tinged chords, interstellar synths, and sleek, soulful drum machines. Kléo will soon be announcing a new release on their label as well.

At the end of 2024, she launched the Call 4 Rhythm party series. In an era where inclusivity in club culture is more vital than ever, her mission is clear: advocating for love and acceptance by creating spaces where people feel seen, respected, and empowered. 

Beyond the dancefloor, Kléo is a core member of the Rush Hour store crew and a resident on Kiosk Radio, where she hosts In-House, a monthly show dedicated to her current selections. She has graced iconic clubs like Panorama Bar, De School, OHM, berlinClub, 20/44, and Peti Kupe, as well as major festivals such as Dekmantel, Selectors, ADE, Lost Village, DGTL, and LOVEFEST. 

As the great Larry Heard once asked, “Can you feel it?” When Kléo is at the decks, the answer is always a resounding yes."

In the words of Kléo: “Fresh home-recorded mix packed with House cuts I’ve had on heavy rotation lately. I Hope you dig it!”

The People In The Fog is a moniker of DJ Sodeyama. He has been a stalwart of the Tokyo underground for nearly three decades, cutting his teeth in the 90's and retaining a key presence at the forefront of Japan's house music scene.

Over the years he has released a sprawling array of music under a few monikers on the likes of Zenit, Rekids, Quartz and трип. However most recently he has been operating under the guise of The People In The Fog which has afforded him the chance to dig deeper into his sound channeling elements of funk, downtempo and the dubbier undertones of house.

He has released this material on Japanese record label Sound Of Vast and for dj's in the know those records have become a 'buy on sight' scenario.

This mix showcases versatility and class. Tight blends, excellent, deep thoughtful selections.
