Sensual, intimate, evocative, disarming, and haunting all at once. Thank you.

Recording of Danilo Plessow's (MCDE) set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021. 

Dekmantel Selectors 2021 was a much needed musical reunion. After the preceding period of stillness, the catharsis and pure joy of finally being together again has been overwhelming. In the words of Danilo Plessow(MCDE): "Thank you for the memories, it truly was a great night."

BLUSH 005 - @jayeward

Blush aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

"'Finding space to be totally horizontal can be difficult, this mix is a sort of gateway to that way of feeling. Ambient but with rhythm, with peaks and troughs to keep you focussed and in the game. Lots of deep listening, lo fi textures, slow arpy funks & dense devotional synths. Log on and tune out!!'"

Back before acid house changed the world, Jaye Ward was already ploughing a unique path playing weird and wonky musics of all flavours at squat parties and industrial based do’s, she flung herself whole heartedly and without concern for her safety into the oncoming tsunami of what we would end up tagging as house, techno or the multitude of varying descriptive titles it has been given and has stayed true to ‘our thing’ ever since.

Dancing wildly at dirt box, the mutoid waste parties, the hacienda, ministry of sound, tonka, moist, sabresonic set her up for the ‘90s where, while Jaye was behind the counters of a number of soho record shops during the day and doing the ambient ‘creamy meat’ show as bish on the legendary chillin’ FM pirate radio, she was often found behind the decks at the legendary WANG parties, the back room at Golden in Stoke on Trent, her residency at London’s sadly defunct END with the ‘for your pleasure’ crew and numerous long gone all nighters and late into the night dark room parties. Getting her second wind at the start of the 00’s via the ‘softmachine’ parties she ran alongside George ‘black merlin’ and Kyle & Johnny from ‘land of light’ she’s been playing regularly across the country for numerous nights such as LOVE MUSCLE & COSMIC SLOP in Leeds, HOMO BLOC & KISS ME AGAIN in Manchester and further a field as a resident at the KALA festival as well as Field Maneuvers, Love International and dimensions in Croatia. She is also the resident at long running & fiercely loyally supported Bristol party PLU, alongside Ranks which has carved out a name for interesting left of centre guests and a distinctly gnarly music policy.

As well as a bi-monthly ambient tinged ‘starmaps’ show of MUTANT RADIO Jaye also runs the long running weekly sunday night ‘Magical Real’ show on Netil Radio, from which she broadcasts a monthly dose of all things dub, disco, psychedelic, Balearic, and more.

Jaye has just released the 2nd release from DJ BSH on her own FIBS record label here >> https://fibs.bandcamp.com/

No one like Hessle Audio's grandmaster could have better welcomed sound scouters on a 24-hour (mind)trip to the island of Spandau. Listen back to this testament of impeccable UK mastery, an impeccable selection of bass mentalism, groovy perreo and tribalism ✨ It's dance, it's jungle, it's drops of spiritual crystals: it's Ben UFO.

Quest's RA Podcast starts slowly, with a thrum of synths that feels like watching a rocket take off in slow motion. Before you know it, you're in outer space, floating through zero gravity with waves of synths and gentle breakbeats. The Italian DJ is a premiere selector in the world of digging for rare records, but his outré taste shouldn't be confused with willful obscurity. He's a beloved DJ partly because of his approachability. There's a serene, early '90s feel to RA.915 that's reminiscent of some of the earliest and best ambient techno.

When he's not DJing, Quest runs the label La Nota Del Diablo. He's only put out two records, including this year's Red Tears EP from his dear friend (and fellow esteemed DJ) Christian AB, which RA's Henry Ivry described as "a careful balance of late-night tension and early morning twilight." That's not a bad way to describe Quest's RA Podcast—if it's not a soundtrack for an astral journey, then it's perfect for an afterhours, for when the laid-back vibes come to a simmer for one last stretch of dancing.

Jooice co-founder Gabbs made his Dimensions debut with aplomb last summer. Stepping up during Picnic's Beach Stage takeover on the first night of the festival, the Italian's flawless set, which became festival-folklore over the proceeding days, still burns bright in our memory. This live recording has been one of our most requested, and we're very happy to share it with you all.

It’s 6 am. You lean on my shoulder on a deserted dance floor as I stare into the void of a paper cup, wondering when the sun will come up. It’s 8 am. The space is awash with pale grey, and the show's finale is long overdue. We sneak out into the back alleys of Sunset Park, gently leaving footprints on the first snow of the year. A trucker asks if I'm traveling to the future, poking fun at my rather fashionable outfit. It's 9 am. I walk up to my room with a bottle of gin, alone, muttering to myself how I hated life before I met you. I’m in an age of wilderness, flicking ash out the window. I hear faint footsteps on the edge of my daydream, and feel you lean in for a kiss with your eyes closed, blissed out. You always look gorgeous with your hair tied in a bun. As the sun rises on our era of paradise....I start to fantasize. My youth has been an aimless waltz into a wasteland and days alone were death practice.....and I ache for no more changes. Only birdsongs, and your smile shining like a million suns. A dense cocktail of melancholy and memory brings a flood of emotions to the forefront of my mind, as I watch you gaze out the window...

Gazing out the window, an ambient mixtape 3/1/19

Washing away in a cloudy cocktail of melancholy and memory...
