PART 1: starting from 10pm

Last month I played an all-night set at Nowadays in NY, which I’ve described to many friends since as probably the best DJing experience of my life. 

As a DJ you’re constantly seeking a connection with those you play to, and sometimes it’s there, sometimes not. But I have never felt so intimately close to, and in tune with, an audience – whose faces I could barely even see – for the entire duration of a night. 

I’d slept for 2 hours, was jetlagged to the point of delirium and woefully underprepared for a 9-hour set. By the last hour and a half I had a crippling stomach cramp and was falling asleep on my feet. But by some cosmic rave miracle I had somehow slipped into a groove from the beginning and found myself tracing an arc that felt like it was drawing itself, as if all I had to do was relax and watch my own hands play the music. There were moments of intensity and euphoria and nostalgia and energetic catharsis, but throughout the entire set I felt fully empowered to meander in deep, subtle and confounding directions, somehow confident that wherever I went, the dancefloor would follow. 

The final stretch descended into a nostalgic parade of old and poignant favourites which, coming out of a recent period of personal upheaval, kinda knocked me sideways and left me frequently close to tears. I was a physical and emotional wreck by the time I finished. But it was a completely magical experience from beginning to end, which felt shared in a very genuine way by everyone in the room, and honestly I don’t care if anyone would listen to a 9-hour recording these days because I just want there to be a document of the night in its entirety out there for posterity. 

So here you go – a four part recording of the whole set, hopefully conveying at least some of the joy I felt on the night. Heartfelt thanks to Nowadays and to every person who was there. ♥️

Cartographies Imaginaires - Lefrit invite Blanca Brusci (Février 2023)

Ce mois-ci c’est Locus Solus qui nous fait l’honneur de ce mix, mélange de vieilles obsessions et nouvelles releases. Entre dub techno un peu déconneuse, avec la track d’Hallucinator, l'une des releases les plus jouissives sur Chain Reaction, une face B hyper directe de Jam City à la grande époque de Night Slugs, assaisonnée avec des expérimentations electro acoustiques du pionnier de la synthèse fm, Baby Keem mixé dans du Autechre, une instru atmosphérique mais irrévérencieuse de Tacteel sur Institubes comme des morceaux de techno beaucoup plus industriels avec RRose, Emptyset ou Mika Vainio, ce set est un parcours à travers des tracks qui ont fait leurs preuves, mais qui ont toutes la qualité de faire un pas de coté par rapport à la scène dont elles sont sorties. Un petit circuit entre Paris, Londres, La Haye, Berlin, Los Angeles, et Helsinki.

And so we arrive at the end of the year, New Years Eve to be precise and there was only one DJ we wanted to have us screw-facing and fist pumping in 2018. Enter Stingray with a furious 90 minutes of power.

Recorded at his set at Katharsis Festival, it's one of DJ Stingray's best and favourite performances of the year so we're naturally thrilled to present it you today.

2017, you were turbulent, you were, at times, stressful but throughout the madness, there was a constant and that was DJ Stingray knocking it out of the park. Each and every time
