Mad whats this edit? Great mix too. Really enjoyed it

Closing sets at parties are a favourite slot for me, The White Hotel in particular is always a fun one. I’ve uploaded the recording from the last show back in March, bit of a sequel to the last one a couple years back. 

Started a bit dark then had some fun, some UK classics tucked away inside too! 

Big upsss to everyone there, was a great crew in that night.

Next Deaf Test May 20th at MOT in London!

5-7 CLOSING @THE WHITE HOTEL

Name:  Simone
Alias: Smokey / Smoke Dog (@smokey_cph)
Pronouns: She/her
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

Influences: Musically I’d have to say the UK, but I’m not too excited about borders(!) boxes, categories or purist ideas when it comes to music. There are a ton of people that I am inspired by both personally and musically; my girls and my crew: Mama Snake and Solid Blake, and ofc all the bass babes MSJY, re:ni, Darwin, Yeahlena, CCL, Mia Koden, DJ Voices, Mad Miran, Ciel, Niks, Bitter Babe, Azu Tiwaline, mi-el, Roza Terenzi. And my local Copenhagen icons; N.E.GIRL, Gavnlig, Daniel Savi, Lille Høg, Heste Jente, Lyra Valenza, Clara Lucifer, Mbizo, Deb Foam, Cecilie Nørgaard, Nina Marie Lange, 2000F, Purple Rave Club, Cirkeline, Téa, Fruit DJ + Drift Radio and the crew and many more! 

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Earlier this year I started in the position as Head of Music at Strøm Festival, which is one of Copenhagen’s finest institutions for electronic music. It’s such a privilege to be doing this, it’s wild! Before that I spent one and a half years mentoring and tutoring at Future Female Sounds DJ academy. It’s an organization that works towards inclusion for femmes, trans and non-binary people in the field of DJ’ing. So many good femme and queer DJ’s in Copenhagen, oopft. 

Favorite Quote: The more I see, the less I know for sure. (I think it was John Lennon who said it? So true though?!) 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:. Acknowledge your privilege, share your knowledge, open doors for those who need it. Reach out and don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice. Be kind and be brave (is this perhaps a Cinderella quote??) 
Be in it for the music, the art and the creativity of it. Keep digging and exploring. Anyone can learn how to use cdjs, but the real deal is digging. Digging and keeping your mind open to new influences, new people and new genres.

With this mix Smokey asks for you to please learn more about and consider donating to:
There are two really nice initiatives here in Copenhagen that I think could inspire other parts of the world in terms of creating safer conditions for vulnerable people in the streets.
❁ Fixelancen: a van for drug users to safely do their drugs accompanied by professional staff and nurses. This way right about zero people die from overdoses and also it helps protect women and femmes in particular. (https://trv.dk/support.html)
❁ The Red Van which is also a mobile harm reduction organization, it works the same way, but for street-based sex workers. (http://fixerum.dk/)

Hessle Audio feat. Nick León - 18 September 2023

@surusinghe is one of many exciting Naarm/Melbourne artists to have broken through in the last couple of years. She has been working behind the scenes in the industry for a decade but only started to release her own music in 2022. Now based in London where she has co-founded the Phenomena label, she has an international mix of influences that make her club-ready sounds utterly thrilling. They all draw on the fact that she is a clubber first and foremost, and one proud of her Sri Lankan heritage. 

She goes big over the course of an hour for us this week and threads together plenty of body-popping rhythms from dembow to techno to wobbly London dubstep. She drops in several of her own tunes, one of which is unreleased, as are two others from Doctor Jeep and Tom Kami. It's a fresh and futuristic workout of high-octane sound from an adventurous DJ who always brings the party in fresh new ways.

Laksa

Truancy Volume 318: Laksa

909 is a special number for us at RA—the name of one of the most hallowed drum machines in all of music, and one of the foundations of techno music—and we're more than happy to offer it up to a DJ who has been a long-time favourite of our team: Glasgow's Bake. In fact, we commissioned this mix roughly ten years ago, but you can't rush perfection. 

When Bake emerged as one of the heads heads behind the label All Caps—a relatively short-lived but influential imprint that released massive tracks like Flørist's "Marine Drive" and Kowton's "TFB"—he also quickly became one of the most impressive DJs in the post-dubstep access, appearing frequently at Hessle Audio events and sharpening his skills behind the decks at the country's best parties. Now he runs his own, Spirit, at Sub Club.

He has a wide-ranging style that touches on all kinds of leftfield techno and broken drum patterns. His nearly two-hour RA Podcast finds him at the end of a sort-of comeback year, and it touches on tracks from Shackleton, Laksa, Batu, Karima F and Levon Vincent, to give you an idea. It's the kind of mix that oozes expertise and practice without feeling showy—the signs of a truly great DJ. If you don't know Bake, then now you do.

Ploy & re:ni at Dekmantel Selectors 2023

"I've heard things you wouldn't believe," in the words of Blade Runner, this set equals a concert piece in which conductor Simo doesn't miss a beat in a dark, celestial, breath-holding selection. 
Mixing maestro, this set is an artistic compilation to be carried through time. Those who were there know. Those who couldn't be there, can listen back to this mix and relive a momento in Simo's legacy.
