‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Here we are again (and again), the cold sets in, the nights are darker and our thoughts drift to the warmer dreams in every shape and form. For the next 133 minutes, we learn how to light one's own fire, through the perfect blend of escapism and imagination. Our sonic guide for the occasion is Tousist, aka Harry, an Irish ex-pat who understands musical coherence,  in a way that only comes along once every 100 years. 

I always struggle to put Tousist’ abilities into words, his musical vitality really speaks for itself, but, I’ll give it a shot. A humble being, with an understated approach to melodies across every genre.  His methodical madness explodes into all his mixes and productions. From dub to techno, he has every single base covered. Ever since listening to his mix for passing notes (link below), I have been paying close attention to everything he does, including his own show on DDR and his plethora of other mixes on offer. He is definitely someone to watch. 

This mix really pushes the boundaries of what ’home’ is, designed almost architecturally, with a solid foundation in rhythm, it allows you to shift your perceptions of some dangerous places you wouldn’t usually call home. Perfectly tied into winter through the depth of the melancholy undertones, woven seamlessly with hopeful glimmers to produce this amazingly joyous story arch.  Every room in this ‘house’ brings form and function together in perfect harmony, different hallways leading to different worlds, biophilia and brutalism in sync, with a buffet of surrealism. Time for the tour.

FHUO # 70 // Tousist

Nummer is a Berlin based duo comprised of Silvere & Manu, two exiled french cats who started their project in London back in 2010. Releasing a string of records on Going Good, Butter Sessions and their own Nummer Music imprint. In 2018, the boys further broadened their reach with the launch of the Natural Selections label & night.
In their own words:
"We recorded this mix just before the return of our residency night 'Natural Selections' at Ohm, tracks that we had been putting aside especially for that occasion. Bringing together old school and new school prog house, some tunes found on random cd comps, some approximately ripped records and a few bargained soulseek steals. This mix is a glimpse into that moment in time."

Enjoy! :)

Session 303

After starting the mini Dekmantel Selectors podcast series two years ago, it feels like a tradition to bring it back to life. In the next couple of months, we will release 6 podcasts by some of the exciting artists from the line-up. This year’s podcasts challenges the artists to work around a theme or idea they picked theirselves. Next up: Dekmantel label member Tom Trago.

Trago can be seen as one of the main key players of Amsterdam's nightlife. Having grown up in a musical family, he picked up on his love for music really fast and has been making music from the age of 15 ever since. A collaboration with Aardvarck and Awanto3, a debut single on Rush Hour and many DJ-sets worldwide followed, which made Trago the acclaimed musician he is today. Earlier this month we had the honour to release Trago’s newest LP 'Bergen', which was made in the same-titled village in The Netherlands and sees him putting out music through a new live set-up.

In anticipation of Dekmantel Selectors, Trago cooked up a special mix for us containing lots of disco and summer-vibes. "This mix is dedicated to those late summer nights and early mornings. Mostly tracks that i play when i feel that there is freedom and acceptance among the crowd. A lot of home listenings jams And easy groovers. Sit back And relax!".
