Waking life check

Standing out in the overcrowded DJ world is not easy. To do so when you're just 17 is almost unbelievable. But that is when Belgian-born AliA (@aliamusicc) first started making people take note of her fresh selections and technical skills on the decks. They were way beyond her years and since then she has gone on to become a resident at Belgium’s HORST Festival and a guest at the likes of Worldwide, Dimensions and Lowlands. 

This week's mix is pure vibes. It shows off AliA's ability to seamlessly join dots between seemingly disparate sounds: in her hands a transition from lo-fi house to breezy jazz-funk is easy. A lush vocal cut into dark and dirty bass rhythms? No problem. It all adds up to a selection that will be suited to any occasion, from a pre-party warm-up at home to a long drive in your car. Good music is good music, no matter the speed or style, and never is that more obvious than when listening to AliA do her thing.

@adab arrived at a love of electronic music on the dance floor of queer-run techno party In Training in their native Cleveland. Before long, they went on to established themselves as a DJ who plays electric sets of house, techno and club beats as part of a constant quest to "seek the unifying elements in the world and themselves." The Pittsburgh resident and radio regular is now half of Cleveland party Heaven is in You and has an international profile that is only set to grow as they continue to confound expectations with each new set. 

That starts with this week's mix, which is an other-worldly trip into genre-less electronics. Dense and cinematic ambiance and sound design set the opening scene - it's a world of searching synths and shadowy alien life forms in which a skeletal rhythm eventually appears. Deconstructed dub, club and jungle flavour the ensuing grooves which are heads down and dark. They evoke all manner of dystopian futures and make for a brilliantly unconventional ride.

Our 2nd new resident for 2023, Cosmo Sofi comes through with a beautiful, heady and tribal wordly mix for #3 of our mix series.

Uruguayan born, London based, Sofi’s passion and curiosity for music has led her to dig a wide range of sounds that span different times and spaces. She is always discovering rare and soulful sounds to share with the world, previously showcased on her monthly 'Spectrums' show on Worldwide FM.

Sofi plays the Secretsundaze Residential party on 11th March 2023 at Corsica Studios, going b2b with Norsicaa, and our other incredible new resident Macca will be going b2b with Sofie K. Meanwhile our own James Secretsundaze plays a 7 hour set in Room 1.

Giuliano Lomonte hails from Andria, a town located in the southern part of Italy, but his love for music has taken him far beyond the Mediterranean. A passionate clubber who has traversed Europe, he developed a fondness for electronic music, particularly deep, tech, hypnotic, and extended cuts that are pressed onto vinyl. This is the kind of sound that he pursues as a DJ.  Based in Berlin since 12 years now - where he’s really come of age as a DJ and producer - he’s played at virtually all the city’s greatest clubs, from Hoppetosse to Club der Visionaere to Watergate and many others.

First arriving on our radar thanks to his classic track, La Musique (released via his own label point of view), we’ve since discovered a whole host of Lomonte gems. Indeed, you can experience his musical vision in its purest form through his releases on various labels, including Sammy Dee's Ultrastretch, his own aforementioned label, Point of View, and Arno’s always-excellent Pressure Traxx.

We’re really hyped to have Giuliano deliver a mix for our live mix series, which you can listen to here. A recording from a recent gig at Red Dot V in Cluj in Romania, it displays Lomonte at his very best. You can also head over to www.nightclubber.ro to read the interview.

Nightclubber Live... with Giuliano Lomonte @ Red Dot V Festival, Cluj

Having been a permanent fixture at Sunwaves for some time now, Romanian maestro Cezar is regularly called upon to put the finishing touches to the bi yearly marathon. For the huge 30th anniversary edition he was slap bang in the middle of the long weekend nestled in-between Rhadoo and Petre Insperescu. Cezar is one of a few acts who is capable of standing out from selectors of this calibre with the kind of track choices that leave even the most seasoned clubber wide eyed and jaw agape.
