As we near our 100th mix in our main Phonica series, we up the game with a journey from New York born and Berlin residing, deep house legend Fred P AKA Black Jazz Consortium for number 97. Deep is truly in the essence of everything Fred does and its honest reflection shines brightest in his two latest albums "Oasis" and "Abstract Soul" which dropped back to back this year accompanied by some heavy in demand 12's on his Private Society imprint. That very essence is showcased in this mix he put together for us. Grooving through all sounds that have inspired the mind of this artist and cutting into deep layered moods of house, funk and techier bits this is a divine look into how Fred P approaches sound.

A longtime conductor of contagious positive vibrations, Danny Bodega is a much loved name among balearic dance music enjoyers round the globe! Co-founding Gazebo Records last year, his killer ear for breezy coastal cruisers and deep crossover club jams make Bodega's effervescent energies the perfect tone setter for those long 'n' balmy summer nights. 

Step back in time for 3 hours of extended hangs and zesty hedonistic pleasures with Danny Bodega as your good time guarantor!

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when planning this mix, and what kind of listening environments might you see it being easily enjoyed in?

A. Last year I went to my neighbour Lenny’s night at a tiny basement club in Hackney with Dan Beaumont and Wes Baggaley playing records together. Had not felt that feeling in the club since the early days going out in Naarm with locals playing records all night at Lounge, Liberty Social and Roxanne Parlour. This mix is a nod to that vibe and best suited to before, or after the club hangs…or triathlon training.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are particularly close to your heart? 

A. There are quite a few records in here that I’ve had for more than 10 years and have only ever played to myself at personal kick-ons, so it’s a delight to share them more widely. The Usual Suspects remix of Mr. C and Robert Owens’ ‘A Thing Called Love’ is one. While I’ve never been a fan of Robert Owens’ vocal stylings, this remix is an overlooked $2 Layo & Bushwacka! banger. Will put it up on the Gazebo YouTube channel soon.

Q. You and Nick managed to gather a tonne of support for your inaugural Gazebo Records release last year, releasing Fuemana’s 1994 cult classic New Urban Polynesian on vinyl for the first time. What was your favourite part about that whole process?

A. The response to the Fuemana family’s story and musical talents from a whole new generation of fans really blew us away. Having Tony and Mamma Fuemana fly over from Auckland for the launch party was the perfect culmination of family, friends and community spirit around the release that was also the perfect send off for me moving to London the following day. News on Gazebo 002 incoming shortly…

Q. Where can people catch you spinning next?

A. All night at Frequence in Paris this Friday, Feb 21 at Bodega Nights, April 12 with Daisy Records and Evie at the Jago. Nick and I are putting on a Gazebo party over here on May 3 with some special guests that we are excited about!

Plaisirs Sonores Records is proud to welcome back two familiar names to the labels roster with the release of Green Time EP — a stunning collaboration between Maezbi and Agustin Ficarra. 

The two talented producers join forces for a deep and moving journey across two captivating originals: Green Time and Vibrant Drips. 

Maezbi, who previously made waves on the label with his highly successful Wonderland, once again showcases his distinct melodic sensibility and ability to merge warmth with hypnotic grooves. 

Agustin Ficarra, following his acclaimed The Return EP with Kabi and Kamilo Sanclemente, brings his refined sound design and intricate rhythmic touch to the collaboration. 

The title track Green Time unfolds as a lush and groovy soundscape — its evolving layers, organic percussion, and emotional melodies reflecting the duos deep musical chemistry. On the flip side, 

'Vibrant Drips' offers another driving mood, blending fluid textures and subtle tension to create a mesmerizing late-night club atmosphere. 

"Its always a pleasure to welcome back artists who have already made a mark on the label", say Hicky & Kalo, founders of Plaisirs Sonores Records. "Maezbi and Agustin both have a special ability to craft progressive music on the edge of deep tech that connects instantly with listeners. Green Time EP captures that essence beautifully."

With Green Time EP, Plaisirs Sonores Records continues its mission to present timeless progressive house music that bridges energy, and artistry.

Octo Octa is an artist for the heads. Maya Bouldry-Morrison's creates a finely-tuned marriage of exquisite compositional flare, meticulously-sculpted sonics, and primal dance-floor functionality. Based in Brooklyn, she's been pushing her unique sonic perspective and shimmering club-ready earworms since 2011 with releases on Running Back, 100% Silk and Argot. 

She's put together a mix for the 26th Good Room Podcast ahead of her live set at the club on February 12 saying "It's kind of funny because it's not what I DJ a lot, but it's what I listen to the most at home. I mostly DJ vocal house, probably carry a few too many Chandler records".

Octo Octa is playing at Good Room with Session Vicitim, Honey Soundsystem and JKriv & Aaron Dae (Razor-N-Tape) on February 12. Tickets - http://bit.ly/1JPhetS
