Recording De School closing set

♥️

I haven’t posted a recording of my djing for quite some time now, I feel this is a moment I can and want to share.

This 5 hour closing set has been something special for me. 

02•01•2024 
09:00 - 14:00

Walking into de school not knowing what was about to happen, only thinking that I would see this as my musical homage to being a resident to this amazing place, a space where I was going to play one of my most memorable sets to this day. What started as 3 hours planned of a closing ended up in 5 hours of pure bliss. 
The responses on that moment have changed a lot for me. It made me rethink why I dj, why I make music and why I love doing this thing I do so much. 

These 5 hours are filled with: unknown hits to big dance bangers, music for happiness, loneliness, loving, hating, remembering, forgetting, friendship and everything in between. 

Amsterdam
hope you enjoy.

Love
L.

DUMMY MIX 018: Filmmaker

Magic Ritmo returns with their second release, a highly demanded reissue of ‘G.F.X. - Eternal’ originally released in 1990. 
Shrouded in mystery, the record has gained cult status among veteran ravers, record collectors and those who are allured by the spiritual and ethereal quality the record embodies. Magic Ritmo is delighted to lift the cloak and share the story of the record and artist through a fully licensed and remastered release.

G.F.X. is the alias of Geoff Waterston, a musician, producer and engineer from the coastal town of Whitley Bay, North East England. G.F.X. was born from a youth spent tampering with electronics, taping drum beats off the radio and resourcefully discovering his creativity. Performing originally locally, G.F.X. quickly became a name spotted on the line up of many acid house nights that were popping up across the North east, as the area began to receive their first transfusion of acid house.

Often hidden away from the archives documenting this time, the North East of England was a pivotal and culturally rich scene amongst the acid house movement. Most prominently, and fondly spoken of, was Middlesbrough’s ‘Butter Loggie’, a bizarre sounding party that grew to crowds as big 10,000 youths partying at the Herlingshaw Centre in Eston, a community centre by day and place of pilgrimage by night for those eager to experience the beginning of acid house. G.F.X. performed regularly at the Butter Loggie and recalls the impact and ferality of the event, a wild and loose party where the soundsystem shook through your bones. These early experiences provided Geoff with his first glimpses of spirituality, which provided much of the inspiration behind the EP’s title track ‘Eternal’.

The story and legacy of ‘Eternal’ lives on, remastered and reimagined through the lens of Magic Ritmo. 
Limited 500 copies.
180g vinyl including inserts.

We would like to thank Geoff and Zara for their trust in us and allowing us the honour of putting this important piece of culture back into the world.

"Eternal was a snapshot of a time when an opening up of alternative lifestyles, spirituality, political activism and music were creating an overall sense of freedom and separation from mainstream society.
And for the first time in my life, I felt a sense of peace and belonging that I had never experienced before and that's where eternal emerged from"

Vladimir Ivkovic - Trax Mix Series 423

"Neither of these really need much of an introduction here. Both are 2 of our favourites in the game and here they are representing their special Salon des Amateurs residencies by playing together at the Sub Club in our home town of Glasgow. Lots of things to love about this. The rest of the night will remain undocumented and live on in the minds of those who experienced a very special session."

Weird Science is a monthly Sunday afternoon event at Magick City, in Greenpoint Brooklyn.  Catered to enable local and guest DJs to showcase their personal tastes beyond regular club environment.

Presented here is Beau Wanzer's set, recorded live on Sunday March 8th, 2020. The room audio was recorded into the stereo mix during the party.  This was our last event before COVID-19 grounded nightlife in NYC and around the world.  It was truly a memorable one.  Hope you enjoy the vibe:)

Beau Wanzer needs no introduction: legendary producer and record collector from the Windy City known for his delicate taste for the oddball electronics.
