Killer mix man!! Listened to this on California's coastal highway and felt like I was flying ✈️

Jack Danzey’s a Naarm/Melbourne based DJ and collector. As one half behind the newly minted Australian label, Lunatic Music and party LUNACY, he’s played host to the likes of Conrad McDonald (Idjut Boys), Castro & Nemo (Sound Metaphors), DJ Honeypants and Trent (Cocktail d’Amore). With a reputation for the unexpected and exciting, often in the same beat, Jack's freestyle approach and genre-bending selections are hard to define and even harder to do without.

Live recording from Locomotion #8 with Ajuma! 

We've known each other for years but never shared the decks before and so happy we finally got to do it. Really fun night, hope you enjoy the recording <3

What is Locomotion?
Locomotion is about DJ artistry, the creative process & storytelling with music. Every month, I invite someone for an all-night b2b DJ set and we go on a journey of spiritual grooves & futuristic rides, making you move like crazy. 🤪

The long set time allows us to play long tracks, not shying away from those 8-12min tracks, moving through emotions & genres like there are no boundaries🚂

Next edition on 21/12 will be a special one with a guest who'll be announced later (through my newsletter first) :-) Save the date!

Follow us on Instagram to stay up to date as well please ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/locomotion.nl
and share the mix if you enjoy it please💕

Locomotion #8 - Ajuma b2b DJ Tracksuit

Safe to say this one has been worth the wait! Relentless Sydney digger @daniel-lupica uncovers some seriously next level 90s kwaito and mid-tempo house from South Africa for a summer time spread full of pure under the radar heat! 

Q. Hey Daniel, what inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time/place in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. Kind of, but it wasn’t super intentional; obviously I’m into 90’s sounds (in particular South African Kwaito and House) so I wanted to share some of my favourite finds of this year and string them together in a cohesive mix, keeping a steady mid-tempo vibe, where everything sounds both similar and different the whole way through. Nothing groundbreaking, just trying to keep an emphasis on quality and not play too many jams I’ve heard before in other DJ’s mixes.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart, or new or old favourites that you’ve been keeping up your sleeve for the right moment?

A. There are a few! As a lot of the SA stuff is not easy to come by, it feels like it’s by chance (right place, right time) that I ended up with a couple, so pretty grateful to have some of my grails in hand, such as the “Shima - S'Phete Vibe” LP, the song “Dlayani” is in the mix but it’s packed full of heat. Another is the “Andile - Want Me (Viagra Mix)” (recently added to my YT) that is red hot fave at the moment.

Q. With so many great under-the-radar South African records in the mix, can we expect to hear a few of these popping up on your youtube channel in the months ahead? And what other rabbit holes have you been exploring for the channel of late?

A. Yes for sure! There’s 3 or 4 in there that I plan to throw onto my channel. But hopefully I don’t sit on them too long and miss the boat.

The other rabbit holes that I’m always exploring include 90’s Latin/Spanish/Brazillian Hip Hop and Hip-House, as well as Reggae and Dancehall covers of 90s RnB and pop songs. Always nice to throw something familiar yet different into the mix when playing in a bar or club.

With the success of Jam City Vol 1 it's time to start 2024 with a bang and release Vol 2 of the Jam City Kwaito project. With the club season in full effect at the moment it felt like a good theme for this mixtape. Expect higher bpm Kwaito by the early hour legendary producers released on everybody's favorite labels. These tunes will vibrate every water molecule in your body on a proper PA system!

Caressing your skin like a soft warm breeze, Danny Bodega hits all the sweet spots with this lovers special. Straight from the Balearic cowboy himself “ The vibe is to float on through a valentines evening with your squeeze of choice. From the dining table, to the boudoir, then out to the discos, with a few tiffs and trips to the powder room along the way, as is tradition.” Let this one run as you reach the pleasure dome.
