Incredible mix so far, such good flow ⭐️

This is so awesome makes me think about the mjølfjell and the scifi tunnels

You might describe Cormac as a late bloomer. Or he might describe himself that way. Though he's been in the dance music game for a long time—a regular at Trash and Nag Nag Nag, and a resident and booker at the old Sunday WetYourSelf! parties at fabric—it's only more recently that he's come into a sound that he can call his own, something that connects more clearly with who he is. (These days, you're more likely to find him closing Panorama Bar.)

That sound is rooted in the queer history so important to him. You could call his <i>RA</i> Podcast hi-NRG, to be general. It's that vibrant, pounding, melodic and synthetic sound that came out of the post-disco early '80s, combining the flair of disco with the strut of Italo. There's new and old here, because Cormac is a champion of evolving iterations of the genre. Over this two and a half hours, you'll hear Patrick Cowley and Madonna, but also a whole lot of other, less obvious stuff too. We could go on, but Cormac explains himself pretty eloquently in the interview below. Two hot tips: watch out for his label, Polari Records, and his upcoming Queerly Beloved podcast series, where he talks to queer artists about their relationships with music.

Blank Wave is back with a very special guest for our 15th guest mix: Lauer! Get ready for two hours of synth loaded jams, live recorded on our Blank Wave club night at Silbergold May 27th this year along Shia LaBiff. 

Philipp Lauer has had his fingers in quite a few pies over the last 2 decades or so, following the release of his debut 12” in 2000. As CEO of the infamous Pyramide II studio his remix count goes way beyond 200 (still ceaselessly rising), including work for Sven Väth, Pet Shop Boys, M83, S-Express, Falco or Tears For Fears to name just a few. Besides releasing solo productions as Lauer on labels such as Running Back, Permanent Vacation, Beats In Space, LARJ, Future Boogie. It is also due to his diligent work as a teamplayer that makes him appear as one of the hardest working people in the business: Tuff City Kids (with Gerd Janson), Black Spuma (with Fabrizio Mammarella) and TNP (with Tim Sweeney) are amongst those projects Lauer is involved in. Although Philipp’s Discogs page already has the size of a phone book and his tour schedule reads like Odyssey, he’s only just warming up for whatever is gonna happen.

A clash of two Italo heads for the first time in five years. Ended up mostly playing Italo throughout. Sorry about the occasional sound issues due to faulty cables. @skatebard or me for track ID.

Budino at State Of Play

A 4,5 hours long recording, mixed through Jaeger's Alpha Recording System mixer and isolators. 
Even with the natural volume increasement that happens on a club night, from seated audience in the start, to a crowded dance floor.

Enjoy!

SKATEBÅRD b2b DAVID VUNK for 4,5 hours in the Sauna at Jaeger Oslo, September 2023

“I think it’s a ‘classic’ Perel mix – an eclectic approach to dance music that’s not genre-oriented, just following vibes."

This was the message that accompanied our latest Crack Mix, from DJ, producer and vocalist Perel. We thought it made sense to start our own description with this short note, given what it reveals about both Perel as an artist, and the journey she’s taken thus far.

Club 77 Live: Skatebård

B2B with Skatebård

Continuing our advent series, we're delighted to showcase the dynamic duo of Skatebård and our very own David Vunk—brothers in arms who require little introduction. What we would like to emphasize once more however, is that we will never get enough of Mr. Bård’s infectious smile and the Vunkinator’s precision in delivering rhythmic movements. Balancing between gritty electro loops and euphoric synths while not holding back on the light-hearted disco and italo vibes, this set might be exactly what ZeeZout Festival was all about if you’d ask us. Friends making friends dance.
