Cannot believe the series is a single mix off hitting #50! Ones continues the series for number #49 with a lush mix reminiscent of summer days.

I discovered Ones through his Hope Street Radio show "Casual Dance", when I was working there earlier this year - the beginning of my shift soundtracked by his lovely and diverse selections, spanning between genres such as dub and minimal in a seamless fashion.

Born in Indonesia, Ones began DJing in 2007, and has been involved in a range of DIY parties across the country. He is a member of ENERGYROOM, an underground party crew that has been active since 2004. He also founded Happy Swinging and 480Minutes, both iconic outdoor dance parties based in Yogyakarta. In more recent years,  he has toured the Philippines and South Korea.

Now Naarm/ Melbourne based, Ones continues to push what he loves in music through his Casual Dance show, and as the Music Director of online radio show Paddy Grooves ( www.paddygrooves.radio ). His latest work is a documentary exploring the evolution of the dance music scene in Yogyakarta –Katalis Kota ‘Yogyakarta.’ I hope you all enjoy this lovely mix as much as I did.

Thanks so much for this one Sostenes! <3

Norio's dedication to music of almost all genres is deep and methodically insightful, his mixes have been inspiring references to us at Sound Metaphors for a while now, so to be able to share this one is a proper delicacy for us. 

In his words: "This time, I made a mix of my friend's tracks from Japan (Boogie, house and Nu disco ... etc) and a little bit of 90's and 2000's Japanese obscure breakbeats tracks.
I hope you like it."

On top of that, his generosity has gone as far as offering us a detailed track list and short description for each track with links to find the record...proper record store owner academic approach to sharing music - big thanks to Norio for this one <3 <3 <3

DJ and production unit of Eddie Ruscha (Secret Circuit/E Ruscha V) in context of cosmic leanings and meanings. Labels BEATS IN SPACE/RVNG, INVISIBLE INC., GOOD MORNING TAPES, EMOTIONAL RESPONSE, INTERNASJONAL SPESIAL, E.S.P. INSTITUTE. Dented drum machine overlords and also Technics power plays with moat rock drum settings and synth VCO boats to float over-which. I have drum machines and synths and remix artisté. Market value of gear unridden to the test of earth salts and flats. I appreciate desert views and sunsets, but mainly I try to make new tribal surf music.
