NYD SONIC TREASURES
Here's some worms from Kris:  Now a much-anticipated new year’s tradition, Nina Walsh’s fourth annual Sonic Treasures mix might be expected to celebrate hard-won triumphs such as finally releasing Phonox Nights, the final album she recorded with lifelong creative partner Andrew Weatherall, which hung precariously in the ether as 2023 dawned. Now with that mission accomplished, and after this stunningly evocative new mix blasts off with two previously unheard Phonox Nights sizzlers that didn’t fit on the album, Nina unveils All That Bluster, the long-awaited Nina and the Fireflies album that will be her next major release in 2024. Partly comprising her lost soundtrack to Killing Eve, the album’s supernatural psych-folk gumbo emerges as a companion set to Phonox Nights, simultaneously recorded with guitarist Franck Alba at Facility4 and coming with four remixes that were among the last completed by Mr Weatherall before he passed away nearly four years ago. This highly personal odyssey climaxes with three unreleased gems from the bulging Walsh-Weatherall vault, starting with legendary 20-minute epic ‘The Acid Trip’ built around Andrew’s hilariously vivid account of his first LSD experience, captured at rehearsals in 2016. Once again, Nina has gloriously pulled off highlighting past achievements with both eyes set firmly on the future. Happy new year!

NINA WALSH MIX NU YEAR SONIC TREASURE MIX

🌞💓 🌞 💓 Hello my dear friends 🌞 💓 🌞 💓

I am thrilled and honored to share a new guest mix for the Sunset Lovers show from the boss of one of my favorite labels Tici Taci, a veteran producer, DJ, and all-around lovely man from London UK, Duncan Gray.

With nearly three decades of production experience behind him, his first vinyl label was started in 1997 (Scatolological), he is best known these days for establishing the Tici Taci label with help from the late great Andrew Weatherall. Tici Taci has more than 100 releases and celebrated its 10th year as a label in 2023 with a lot of special releases.

This label consistently releases superb leftfield dance music- chuggy, slinky, dubby, wonky floor-filling dance music. Uz Pa Gaz's Tiranan Balearica Omo Can was featured here in April and various tici taci artists, including Duncan himself, Rude Audio and Dan Wainwright, Boy Division, The Long Champs, Jack Butters, Mystic Thug, Mr BC and Fjordfunk have graced these pages in the past.

Tici Taci - bringing you electric funk rekkids at tempos below 120 bpm. No pre-packed freeze-dried loops, all tracks have live instruments well to the fore, from funky wah-wah guitars and deep chunky bass to temperamental analog synthesizers and live percussion.

Over the years Duncan has released tracks that have proved widely popular with DJs ranging from The Guv himself through to mainstream crowdpleasers like Boy George. As one half of the seminal early 2000's electro band Sons of Slough Duncan played many live shows as well as DJing around Europe and the US, and released records on a wide variety of labels including Skint. In recent times he's played as far abroad as Australia and has remixed the likes of Primal Scream, David Holmes, Red Snapper, Yothu Yindi, and Andrew Weatherall. He also played guitar on several remixes by Andrew Weatherall and regularly contributes guitar and bass parts to a host of producers worldwide.

The past decade has seen Duncan champion a sludgy, slow-mo take on dance music that favors chugging bass guitars and psychedelic sound palettes over software VSTs and drag-and-drop samples.

In recent times he has partnered with Sean Johnston as "Hardway Brothers meet Monkton Uptown": a mostly dub-based remix project which has also led to the pair DJing together.

Last year (2023) Duncan and Ian Weatherall resurrected the Sons of Slough for the 10th Convenanza festival in Carcassonne in honor of Ian's late brother, and will be playing more Live shows in 2024.

The Sunset Lovers Show

The Sunset Lovers 66 with Duncan Gray

The Sunset Lovers #66 with Duncan Gray

Matt Cowell is the co founder of longstanding web zine meets label Viscera as well as a resident of London based party Optick.

Having been heavily involved in electronic music for many years he has fronted several parties and become a familiar face in the East end of the city having moved to the big smoke from the coast a few years back.

He brought with him a cheeky smile and a record bag full of exquisite House and Techno which demonstrates a depth and maturity in the dance.

A keen champion of friends and a familiar face front left, his taste is broad and eclectic, lending itself perfectly to deeper, longer sets of which he has become a stalwart of as a resident for Ransom Note.

This mix demonstrates a deep rooted knowledge in respect to selection – weaving its way through a number of key moments and creating a cathartic well rounded soundtrack which few DJ’s are able to achieve.

Matt Cowell: The Ransom Note Mix

✦ Mix 030 by Joe Morris ✦
Track ID - @joemorris

Joe Morris has been involved in the underground music scene for over twenty years. While not pinned to one particular sound, Joe’s inimitable style has taken him to perform in New York, Moscow, Paris, Milan, Ibiza, Geneva, Barcelona, Berlin, Hanoi and all over the UK using his vast experience to expertly craft emotive atmospheres from chill out scenarios to dance-floor energy. 

Crystalizing this ethos into his productions Joe has enjoyed a string of well received releases on a myriad of diverse record labels. It's an intoxicating cocktail that has seen him gig around the world and back again; from smoke filled basements to festival stages and all points between. 

Joe strives to leave no stone unturned in his search for the perfect beat through his Shades Of Sound record label and radio shows.

We leave you this beautiful mix for you to listen to with the shy rays of sun that are starting to come out, for your walks or your lazy Sundays. Either way, we loved this Balearic gem and can't get enough of it.

Thanks for sticking around and we hope you enjoy it.

Dancing Dolphins 030 | Joe Morris

Al needs no introduction as one of the most familiar faces in the underground dance scene for over 30 years.

He started out dj'ing at various warehouse parties around London in the late eighties, his big break came after running several successful parties at the notorious Brain Club in 1990. He then moved on to be resident at the legendary Love Ranch In Leicester Square. He was also one of Danny Rampling's resident djs at his Pure night at the Milk Bar in London.

During this time he formed a musical partnership with Peter Cunnah and D:ream was born. They captured the number one spot in the U.S. and U.K. dance charts in mid-1992 with their first single, 'U R The Best Thing'. The follow up single, 'Things can Only Get Better' hit No.1 in the UK and several charts worldwide in 1994 when re-released. Their first album, 'D:ream On Vol 1', went platinum in the UK. D:ream's latest EP, Meet Me at Midnight, was released in May and a new album is due for release later this year.

He went on to set up the very successful Retroforward in the mid-90's, bringing some of the world's finest underground djs to Birmingham, which still runs at the Hare & Hounds and still sells out every time. His Field Of Dreams project with Chris Kentish has been met with global recognition and their massive remix of Les Crocodiles 'La Nuit Des Tropiques' has become an ALFOS staple. Further EP's have been met with critical acclaim and sold out within weeks. 

Al has dj'd at some of the finest clubs all over the world, including Back To Basics, Miss Moneypenny's, Cream, Up Yer Ronson, Clockwork Orange, Gatecrasher, Love To Be and Rise and we are absolutely delighted to welcome him as the latest addition to our roster of guest mixers.
