The Mighty Zaf live @La Discoteca, Glasgow December 4th 2021

Disco is good for your soul. It was an honor to play alongside the legendary DJ Harvey, really dug deep into my crate for some classics that bridge the gap between disco and house :)

[4.2.22] @ Flash w/DJ Harvey

The final 162 mins of a session in which it’s fair to say both the DJs - and perhaps the crowd - had been afflicted by Saturday Night Fever. Recorded live at Brilliant Corners on 02/04/22 (which was a Saturday).

There is a certain type of artist that transcends generational and artistic boundaries, that channels their experiences while simultaneously fostering an environment for others to thrive.

Kai Alcé is a prime example, someone who witnessed the genesis of Detroit’s electronic musical landscape and strives to keep that spirit alive. For him it is imperative to pass on the lessons he has learned, to create a space where deep soulful vibes can reverberate while honoring the African Diaspora roots of dance music’s culture.

NDATL stands for the cities that Kai has called home and have played a role in his musical development: New York, Detroit, ATLanta.
The label and production company reflects the tone of each city in its input to the electronic music canon. It has not only been a vehicle for his own productions but a home for releases from contemporaries, personal heroes and up-and-coming artists such as Javonntte, ED Nine & Roberta. Never one to be content with the status quo, Kai’s dedication to the underground combined with his warm demeanor has made him a mentor to young Atlanta based artists such as Ash Lauryn, Stefan Ringer and Byron the Aquarius.

Kai’s long running party at The Sound Table, Distinctive, would act as a hub for house music over the last decade and put him in touch with the local youth. Concurrently it was his annual party back in Detroit that would become a Mecca for househeads. Deep Detroit is known for being one of the go to events for Memorial Day weekend electronic music festival Movement. What started as a reunion party for the Music Institute has become a pilgrimage and right of passage where the devoted can purchase highly coveted, limited edition vinyl-only releases from the party’s musical guests.

Never one to stay static he has recently curated a limited run of 7” House tracks with DJ Spinna for BBE Music and even stepped into the world of fashion. Kai has always been known for his vibrant fashion, consistently being complimented on his stylish glasses that match his outfits. Years of people inquiring about obtaining similar spectacles has resulted in the boutique Kai Alcé Eyewear line. “The Kaizer” never stops moving. A love of life, mixed with his flair for originality, willingness to experiment and devotion to the dancefloor has cemented his place as a pillar in American dance music history. Whatever comes next from Mr. Alcé, you can be assured that it will be classy, soulful, fulfilling and funky.

Stay tuned – you never know what the man will have for you next!

Live From Lille France 11/05/2023

While I consider myself to be a quite okay music curator, I bow down before a man like @propjoemusicforears because this guy remains a true expert when it comes to selecting proper tunes, surprising the audience and creating very cohesive vibes with his DJ sets. After being recently invited to be part of his legendary “Music For Ears” series (https://soundcloud.com/propjoemusicforears/music-for-ears-32-burnout-sumner-the-messy-mix) I’m now more than happy to return the favour by having the man from Sydney over for his very own edition of my “Messy Mix” series.

His one-hour set is less about big musical storytelling but more about creating a very specific vibe which he fittingly labelled “Irrational International”. This set is also a little different than Prop Joe’s usual style, being more European, Arabic & Caribbean. Usually he’s always up for strolling down the hip hop, street soul / reggae path but avoided that inherent temptation in favour of something more surprising. However, the mix keeps that vibrant smooth 80s/90s retro character which I come to love about his sets and the whole “Music For Ears” series. It’s a celebration of music, especially the one that’s harder to find. And I think that’s what the job of a good curator/ DJ should be - finding those treasures, putting them in a great setting and giving the audience a good time. And let me tell you - this set is definitely giving me a good time.

It’s the perfect soundtrack for hot summer days, pool parties and other social hangouts with your loved ones these days. Please give it a spin. The Messy Mix series is now taking a well deserved break before it’ll return in the fall. Until then, please enjoy the existing sets so far.

We’re thrilled to welcome Mark E back to Stan Radio for Volume 45. Mark previously blessed our airwaves back in 2021 with a deep and hypnotic mix featuring his signature sound and we’re happy to say this follows suit.

Mark Says: “Its been a while since I put a mix together and really enjoyed the process of bringing some of my favourite old and new tracks together in this Part 2 for Stan Ray, again it’s a journey into deep soulful house music and its various moods and feels, but it’s a genre that keeps fascinating me time and time again, I don’t think will ever tire of it.

Thanks again Stan Ray, a pleasure to be invited for a second time around.”

Get Stuck in, press play and enjoy.

Hailing from Chicago, the city which gave birth to House music Rahaan has been spinning house and disco since the 80’s when he started playing at house parties across the city.

In the 3 decades since Rahaan has become a Chicago legend, a DJ who is widely recognised for his exceptional skills behind the decks and his exquisite taste in music. Lately he has also been earning plaudits for his production skills with some truly outstanding releases.

Recently he has released on some key labels including Lumberjacks In Hell, Street Edits and Dopeness Galore. His tracks are steeped in dancefloor groove, music made by a DJ with the sole intention of moving that floor.

Rahaan is a producer who has clearly learned his trade via many hours behind the decks studying the flow of the dance-floor and the tracks which have the power to excite and enthral.

Starting off playing from cassette tapes with a group of friends under the moniker ‘Chuck Brothers’ he started to build an extensive house and disco collection in the 90’s after a move to Wisconsin. A return to Chicago in 1996 saw him start to build his stellar reputation as one of Chicago’s stand out house and disco DJs with residencies at ‘The Spot’ and one of Chicago’s best clubs ‘Buddha Lounge’. A reputation he would cement with gigs all over the globe in the proceeding years.
