First Listen

A long time coming, the third and last installment of NHJ's "No, I" mix series. 
6 years on and our protagonist is still paying the mortgage… along with child support and now victim restitution, stemming from an unhappy ‚ misunderstanding’ whilst waiting for a Żabka hotdog.

NO, I? 3  ||  2023

It’s been quite some time since we last put out a mixtape on the Fuaim series, and we’re delighted to kickstart things again with a feature from NYC talent jek. Jack has been making quite the name for himself within the US scene, all the while gaining plenty of traction across the pond, with the first release of his Earth Dog Records (@earthdogbk) imprint coming out earlier this year.

Recorded live at Nowadays (@nowadaysnyc) back in September for Aurora Halal’s (@itsallhalal) residency, this mix effortlessly glides from deep & dubby tones to bouncy, pumping club tracks. It’s one of them mixes that epitomizes the development of an opening slot, maneuvering it’s way through a myriad of psychedelic textures before handing over to Maara (@maara) on the night.

"Our first listen into 'Afterimage' from the release is a unique feel into the moodiness and hazy house alterations that sing throughout this calming and appeasing soundtrack Akasha System has built."

Vague Response

First Listen :: Akasha System - Afterimage [100% Silk]

"Our first listen into 'Lakeside' off the cassette nicely pockets Foans' funky bassline and whirling chords that resonate throughout the 8-track cerebral boogie down that Foans has successfully wired and coalesced."

I’ve been holding back on this as I had hopes it would get picked up exclusively by online media or for a podcast series as I did with my 2017 set, but I’ve decided to put it out through my own channels before the year is out instead (as nobody seemed to be interested in anything other than studio mixes!!??).....It might also come as an early Xmas present for those who came along with me for the ride and have been eagerly awaiting the recording - better late than never I guess! 
What can I say about the gig - it’s hard to put into words, I was completely overwhelmed by the energy that I witnessed rapidly coalesce in the sweltering hot room that night. The Freerotation crowd is surely one of the world’s most musically open-minded and supportive that you could ever hope to find as a DJ, and so many inspired & magical moments promptly ensued with the distinct sense of musical freedom that had overcome me. DJ-ing on the opening night was an absolute pleasure with so much excitement in the air, and to have the opportunity to play music at this wonderful event once again, was truly an honour. 
I hope that these sentiments are reflected in this recording, and that it gives those that were there the chance to re-live some of that magic. Peace.

Gratitude to all my friends for their continued love, support and encouragement.
Respect to all the promoters who have got behind me with bookings.
Big-Ups to all the ravers for the boundless energy they’ve brought to the dance-floors I've played to.

Alex Downey Live at Freerotation 2018

@SolarSF and @Mozhgan have been kind enough to let us upload their barnstormer of a set from The Island, and by gum this one’s a humdinger. 

For those of you who live under rocks, Solar and Mozhgan popped over from San Francisco to give Bristol’s best venue a proper talking to - and a proper talking to they indeed gave it. The duo took us through selections of punk-laced EBM, futurist minimal synth, headbang techno and old-school acid drivers, solidifying their status as our favourite Bay Area couple! 

As a mix, it is unpredictable, obscure and diverse, but without meandering from a central theme of dark, moody, fun-as-fuck party slammers (DJ Bigos hit us up) - we feel incredibly blessed to have been able to host these two and add this to our humble little series.

Not to mention preserving one of our favourite parties, and some fond memories with 2 of our favourite guests!

Recorded live at The Island, Bristol, 31st January 2020.
