Guest Mixes

For this month's Swirl show on @threadsradio, I invited @balamii resident and Alfresco Festival booker and promoter, @Franklin_dj to provide the guest mix.  Show is a 2 hour journey through the psychedelic cosmos; expect a load of guitars and spacey leads with a few surprises in between.

I soundtrack the first hour and then Franklin takes control in the last hour :)

""A love letter to the warm up set""
This mix is dedicated to the warm up set, it's a set that many djs did for years had to prove themselves as the warm up dj and eventually move up the ranks to a closing set and finally one day the peak slot. If you were / are lucky enough to be a resident dj you know what i'm talking about . It really educated me on being a dj and forced me to learn so many styles of music. It also taught me about "edging" , yes edging. How to bring it up and bring it down and trusting a crowd would follow the ride and take a few wrong or right swift left turns....  because let's be honest if you don't clear the dance floor every now then ya not doing it right. haha This set was recorded in Naarm, 28/9/23 at Subclub and it was a pleasure to start the night , it brought many memories of always being the warm up dj  , Boney days ,  how much I love it and how the art of the warm up set is sometimes lost in the modern day clubbing. It will always be the most important set of the night because it sets the tone for the rest of the night and you get to really play some amazing music and watch the night unfold right in front of you. Here's to the pure ecstasy of watching people dance to slow jams. 
Best feeling in the world. 
Thank you , Sub club team, Sam,  Zach and Rhys for delightful night it was ...

Rhythm Section Radio was founded in 2009 and moved to NTS in 2012, and has since pulled out the stops breaking new music, promoting independent labels and paying homage to the greatest music from the past, through a perhaps unhealthy obsession with record digging.

Disco Disco with Franklin & The Iron Glove - 14 January 2024

Guus Christian and Sander Emil are Shared Joy. When you can find them in a DJ booth, it’s all about togetherness & connection. With a shared passion for electronic music, a deep understanding of each other's record collections, and a great friendship as a starting point, it makes sense that Shared Joy radiates when playing together. 

 Guus & Sander are based in Nijmegen, where they run Blauwdruk. Blauwdruk is an event (and label as of lately!) that celebrates the roots and branches of soulful dance floor culture. Both are familiar faces at Open Source Radio, Nijmegen’s independent online radio platform. Sander had a role during its inception and Guus has built a great catalogue of radio shows, both through his own selections as his curations for guest DJs to come and play.'

Sander says: about the recording; it is a live recording from a club night last summer in Mesh. It showcases the more deep & electronic sounds of our spectrum. It will be our first recording online, and we wanted it to be a live recording from one of the nights we played. Might make it less perfect, but makes it real & we cherish good memories from this night :)

Lumberjacks Tapes 053: Shared Joy

"Art and music are the same, they're just different dialects." The Chicago house music legend talks about co-curating the photo exhibit Walk The Night and nightlife's '90s heyday. 

Ron Trent grew up in Chicago, where he dreamed of being a musician from a young age. He would end up becoming one of the architects of the Chicago house sound and working alongside contemporaries like Chez Damier, and across the pond, Basic Channel. His label, Prescription Records, became a renowned purveyor of the deep house sound. He spread his vision from the American Midwest to New York, Europe and beyond. 

In this talk recorded live at Miami Art Week, Trent talks to Resident Advisor music critic Kiana Mickles about the songs and dance floors that shaped him in this early part of his musical trajectory. In addition to playing some of his favourite jazz, funk and disco songs, he reflects on clubs like Studio 54, Paradise Garage and The Warehouse, which he claims matured him as an artist and irrevocably shaped the trajectory of club culture. Trent was instrumental in co-curating an exhibit called Walk The Night (which premiered at this multidisciplinary event), a photographic homage to these spaces and other historic clubs around the world.

To hear more about the legacy of Trent's favourite clubs and the music that shaped him, listen to the episode in full.

We're delighted to bring you the latest mix in our series from our friend and fellow music fanatic, @franklin_dj. 

We first met Harry at Love International a few years ago and got along instantly over our similar tastes whilst seeing Vlad Ivkovic & Ivan Smagghe hold it down in the Olive Grove. 

Since then, we've kept in touch and crossed paths on various dancefloors around the country, so it's a pleasure to have him on board the series with this classy mix of cosmic sounds.

Harry is a true music head and previously worked as a programmer for Alfresco Festical, and he currently works on other projects such as Disco Disco along with his own ventures, Club Hiatus & Moon Roq.

Check out our brief interview with Harry over on Instagram and we hope you enjoy the mix!

Disco Disco w/ Mr James & Studio Batsumi - 10 March 2024

It is not everyday we are sent a 5 hour mix from someone we have asked to join our Phonica mix series; but when Sheffield & Manchester legend Luke Una sends one… you have to jump straight into it! Having become first recognised in the late 80’s and 90’s as one half of production team “The Unabombers” with Justin Crawford, Luke over the years has shown to be a master in all genres be it Balearic, to Brazilian to E soul, House, Disco and Techno, you name it! With his Worldwide FM show over the years gaining a cult following Luke has gained an even more of a broader crowd from his curation of his E Soul Cultura compilation series via the label Mr.Bongo (Both comps topping our EOY lists in 2022 and 2023). This exact vast taste (that is displayed in these compilations) is very much pummelled into this five hour journey of a mix like a piece of clay and sculpted into a fine piece of art. We had a chat with Luke about this timeless mix and what he has been up to lately: http://offtherecord.net/phonica-mix-series-119luke-una/

Deck-A-Dance resident Franklin delivers the next edition of the monthly mix series, laden with guitars and memories of the summer that never was. It's enough to make you and your guitar gently weep!
