A spark of light erupting from a naked, crouched body adorns the cover of Sodomy, the new EP from Jorkes on their label Freeride Millenium. The image, serious yet playful, seems to represent an outburst of ideas and emotions from a person's inner core, literally. It's the perfect metaphor for Jorkes, whose palette of rugged house music, slick disco, '80s synth-pop and booming acid always feels unapologetically earnest.

Their sonic identity, built around their queerness and self-described empathetic nature, is both cheeky and deeply thoughtful, washing listeners over with feelings of love and human connection (and lots of catchy vocal hooks). Anyone who's attended their resident nights at Stuttgart club Romantica or listened to their shows on Munich's Radio 80000 can attest to Jorkes' sense of unbridled enthusiasm, sweetness and passion for their queer community.

All of that is tangible on their RA mix, a lively and poignant journey through exuberant house and emotive nu disco with plenty of classics like Club 69's "Let Me Be Your Underwear" thrown in for pure, feel-good energy.

My set from solstice festival is up on the cloud. 

Solstice is a unique festival happening in the northernmost tip of Finland. Since it’s so far out of civilisation (9 hours drive from Helsinki), the people who choose to attend are actually making the effort to travel that far and are purely there for the music & nature.

At this time of year, the sun in Lapland is never going down... the stage was up on a mountain giving a glowing northern view. I got the dance floor from Ajukaja & Ats who played a live set around 120 bpm and took it from there. It felt like playing at a club but it was at the open wide - probably the absolute perfect settings for me.

I've never been one to record my live sets, but this time I wanted to try and capture the essence of the moment. You can never fully recreate it, but you can feel its energy. I made sure to include the sounds of the room, the raving crowd, and even some funny insights at the end of the set 🙃

Thanks Joni, Denzel, Justus, Daniel and Andy for crafting it all, you are true pros! And to Gabrielle for holding my hand and making your birthday celebration in the woods one to remember! Lastly, thanks Yonti for joining me in purchasing this recorder just days before the festival :)

Hope you enjoy! 🫡

For the next instalment of our mix series the illustrious https://soundcloud.com/gabriellekwarteng has gifted us with a stellar mix of blended tracks and dance floor fillers. Gabrielle has already graced us with a set during our Cruise x IsBurning event at Blitz club in Munich and will be doing so once more for us at Orbit festival this weekend!

Gabrielle's journey so far is one of passion, dedication, and the occasional strike of fate. Born and raised in New York City, Kwarteng's prominent rise has been salient throughout a challenging time of uncertainty for dance music and club culture. A DJ, radio host and curator, her sets in only the last month have enchanted Love International, Solstice Festival, Panorama Bar and Butik Festival so we truly are over the moon for her to share this with us! 

We guarantee you will enjoy this mix as much as we did so head to the link in our bio and get listening!

Favorite Quote: Be genuinely nice to everyone always, you never know what the universe might have in store for you. Don't take anything for granted.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Don't stick to one genre, practice your craft as much as possible, learn the background of your scene and where does the music that you play come from. Get involved in your scene and try to support it as much as you can, you have a responsibility as a member of that community.

When DJs and producers @eris-drew and @octoocta first met, they felt an instant connection that has only grown over the years. Kindred spirits in both music and life, the pair released their first split EP entitled Devotion in 2018, sharing the same artistic values that make their music deeply moving in all senses of the word. Their DJ sets, meanwhile, light up the dancefloor — their back to backs can be as bombastic and high-energy as they are personal and emotive, speaking to a healing force that seems to drive all of their work. 

In this episode, we discuss their b2bs, their joint tour and label, @T4TLUVNRG, and their collaborative project Alchemical Sisters — the latest addition to a cosmic world in full colour.

For the next instalment in our very irregular mix series, we are happy to present Gill. We first met Mark in the Carpathian mountains and he has now become a face known to a lot of therapeutic regulars through relationship to the Fandango crew and his tireless searches for new sounds and new venues. A true rave activist and a beautiful selector, thanks for the mix, Mark!

We asked Mark a few questions for this mix:

This mix is stunning! What were your inspirations or thoughts when making it?
- The mix was recorded on the 6th floor of my friend Patrick’s apartment I was crashing at earlier this year. The room is full of beautiful plants and natural light, and glows so nicely during golden hour. Definitely was focused and serious recording this mix. Musical and mixing inspo from expressive and delicate DJs I’ve witnessed during this year. Trying my best to bring the listener on some sort of adventure via nice and interesting hypnotic & emotional percussion, prog and breaky sounds.

What makes a good party?
- Hehehe its an age-old question, and I don’t think there is a simple answer. But going beyond the obvious foundations, I know the best parties have collective responsibility evident in both participants and curators. Synergy on creating an atmosphere of respect and freedom for self-expression. Every detail and potential interaction are vital to evoke such atmospheres. This feeling most commonly found in passionate community orientated collectives or venues. 

What role does community play in creating raves?
- Community is a motivator, it’s the same special people and faces that keep us curators going. It is this community support that allows curators to be brave, bold and take risks that lead to rewards for all in whopper rave form. Beyond that, I feel community in party terms is a mutual acceptance and respect for ourselves and each other. With comfortability of regulars noticed by newcomers. Allowing for more significant rave moments in safer spaces.

Finally about pins. In or out?
- Pins are Out Always! Even in upcoming darker colder times, our Pins may go in, but we must go on. Remembering always that Pins Out is a State-of-being. One frees one’s pins, to free one’s mind.

Group Therapy at Home #5 : Gill

After a busy few weeks having plenty of festival fun, our podcast is back and rolling with self-certified 'rave mom' Partok next up. He's played standout sets at Glastonbury and Panorama Bar this summer and still regularly returns home to Israel to play all-night-long sets. It is there, as a resident at the Tel Aviv club The Block that he first made an impression many years ago. Since then his endless explorations of all forms of techno have earned him an international following. 

Partok brings his own distinctive party sound to our series this week with an electrifying mix of peak-time fun. He packs plenty in, too, dextrously switching up the mood as he weaves through evocative and emotional sounds that aren't afraid of a tender melody or soulful vocal, but are always powered by crisp drums. From banging grooves and brain-frying synth textures to psychedelic loops and hands-in-the-air piano chords, it's a high-definition, big-hearted selection that leaves you feeling good.
