Kaytranada Boiler Room Montreal DJ Set

Back in April, I had the honor of warming up the dancefloor for the legendary LTJ Bukem at Smartbar Chicago. I played for 3 hours, running through some chill, liquid funk, jazzy numbers before ending on a high note with a lil footwork/rave/jungle flavor. Here's the last 80 minutes of my set for your listening pleasure!

Boiler Room Set Melbourne '22

Jares Live at Stereo Montréal w/ Soul Button [July 2023]

Maggie contributed an absolute smasher of a breaky, grimey mixtape as the tenth iteration of this series. Selfishly, I feel a connection to this mixtape that is so comforting, her selections being right in my personal comfort zone as a DJ and raver. So how could I not help but relate my own experiences in the dark warehouses to my Koreanness as well? What a gift.

Paso Doble @ Stereo Montreal • All Night Long • [14.10.2023] Part 1

It's time to ignite the beats once again! Join us in welcoming @n-tchbl DJ from southeastern Serbia, delivering a powerhouse of banging tracks that are sure to get you moving. Let's dive into Subterrânea 84th EP, a bumper collection of super-fresh progressive melodies that weave a unique sonic tapestry. 🎙️

For N-TCHBL, a pivotal realization struck – progressive house, with its distinctive bass lines and sublime emotions intertwined with colorful melodies, resonated with her profoundly. It wasn't just a genre she played; it became a lifestyle she embraced with passion. 🎚️

Her sets, reaching global audiences through major radio stations, found a special place on her all-time-favorite friskyRadio. After numerous guest mixes, including a coveted "Artist Of The Week" show, her dream materialized in March 2011 when she officially joined the friskyRadio roster! ⚙️ 🎼

"Subliminal" on friskyRadio became her canvas for showcasing the deep, dark, sublime side of progressive house. Every 3rd Monday, she unveils fresh stories, blending distinct melodies with a mix of emotional and rock-solid tunes, all delivered with a unique feminine touch. Embracing her roots, she often incorporates traditional and oriental sounds, vocals, and instruments into her sets, setting her apart from the rest. When you hear N-TCHBL's sets, you know it's her – no one else does it quite like she does. 🎧🎵

Stay tuned to her schedule; she might soon be hitting your neighborhood, continuing to share her passion for progressive house with the world. 🔊🌏

A heartfelt thank you to each and everyone for lifting up our Soundcloud with such an incredible response! We're filled with gratitude. <3

Subterránea Episode 084 – N-TCHBL

Drumskull feat. Despise - Aaja Channel 2 - 17 12 23

Andhera', darkness in sanskrit.⁠
⁠
Where there's darkness, we will find light.⁠
⁠
With every Full Moon or solar eclips I will present a new artist which I highly admire, respect and who embraces the same dark, ambient and hypnotic techno sounds like me.⁠
⁠
The Full Moon is a time of blossom and highlights.⁠
The Full Moon equals the spiritual and energetic culmination. ⁠
When the Full Moon has passed, the waning moon phase begins. ⁠
This is the time to let go what no longer serves you. ⁠
⁠
Last week we had our last Full Moon in Cancer, also called the 'cold Moon', which brings a powerful emotional energy. This water sign is in fact known for its deep feelings and strong intuition. Therefore, during this full moon, you may notice that you are more emotional than usual.
⁠
This Full Moon is in opposite of the Sun in Capricorn. This is an interesting dynamic because where Cancer is about emotion and intuition, Capricorn is about structure and discipline. This creates quite an inner struggle, where you feel like you are being pulled back and forth between two worlds....
⁠
On the one hand, you feel the need to let your emotions run wild and focus on your personal life. On the other hand, the energy of Capricorn calls you to focus on your ambitions and responsibilities. A case of "cry later". Balance is the key word here. It's a time to recognize that both your emotional well-being and professional achievements are important. You may find ways to feel as well as nurture both.
⁠
For this last full Moon I've decided to create a captivating journey with artists who've been a great inspiration for me in 2023.

Metalheadz Podcast 52 - Lenzman Feat. T.R.A.C.

Today, the online music portal of Mixmag magazine published an article commemorating some of the women who have shaped and contributed to the progression of electronic music. Taking into account the state of the underground and contemporary clubbing landscape we know today, amongst the various vanguards like Donna Summer and Heather Heart were Metalheadz co-founder and the second to none selector, DJ Storm. Renowned for her a pivotal part in the formation of a subculture fuelled by warehouse raves and momentous soundsystems and her close connoisseurs and fellow Metalheadz operators, Goldie and the late DJ Kemistry, the superbly progressive strain of drum & bass and the unadulterated territories that came with that time were critical in the ever evolving electronic movement. Even now, her role in the scene today is as imperative as ever, representing a label and a sound that’s still flourishing some 25 years later. 

A week on Friday Storm will once again link with her Metalheadz crew as the label takes hold of our Room One to toast the launch of label signee Mikal's debut album. To give us a snippet of what's in store the DJ aptly dubbed ‘the first lady of drum & bass’ has graciously taken the time to pull together another of her excercises in first class selections in this brand new and exclusive promo mix.
