Tho @ Closer || 17.07.2021

With spellbinding mastery, Joe's graceful movement between records is something that almost has to be witnessed to be believed. Luckily for you, however, we were able to capture that sorcery live as Joe took to the turntables at the Olive Grove. Recorded live at Dimensions 2021, the recording is crammed with hefty electro and house bumpers – another absolute highlight for us at this year's event. Try not to stomp your feet along to this one (it's impossible).

Joe Delon - Live at Dimensions 2021

After a bit of a hiatus, we thought it was only right that we came back with a big splash for number four. 

We've managed to secure 67 minutes of unadulterated heat from one of our favourite selectors - the man from outta Spaced, Tho. Armed with more hammers than B&Q and mixing sharper than a footballer's trim. This is one you'll be sure to have on repeat! 

Ladies and gentlemen rev your engines and buckle up. On your mark, get set, Tho!

turning the Bayesian crank.

One of London's finest, Tom @thospaced has been stomping around the block for a while, for his baby @spacedlondon and nowadays much further afield. And rightly so. As you can hear, his ghostcast is flippin fire on toast.

Back on top form this summer, we're delighted to share the live recording from Joe Delon's masterful set at Dimensions 2022. This has us transported right back to the Olive Grove's dance floor in Tisno – enjoy.

Recorded on Saturday 3rd September 2022 at the Olive Grove.

Joe Delon loves music. You might think that would (or should) be self-evident in someone who DJs for a living, but the electronic music world would be a better place if everyone cared and thought as much as he did. In addition to being an increasingly in-demand DJ, he runs a stellar label, Welt Discos and moonlights as a music writer, with a beloved Substack newsletter that he usually updates twice a week. A blend of touring DJ travelogue and mix recommendations, it's a rich source of information and music from an artist with a warm, friendly voice—and perhaps more importantly, impeccable taste.

It's that taste that has endeared him to many dance music fans around the world over the last few years, developing a dedicated fanbase who greet every new mix with bated breath (including, hopefully, this one). He's something of a record digger, but not in the clichéd way—he just loves to find records new and old full of melody, springy rhythms and a generally quirky, positive vibe. The music he selects often has an '80s tinge to it, even when it's not from the '80s, but it's hard to pin down what he plays, both because his sets are so unpredictable, and because it wouldn't be fair.

His RA Podcast, as he explains below, is meant to sum up his last year of DJing, a carefully put together selection of favourites from 2022 (meaning records he played that year, not that came out last year). As always, it's a mix of familiar and far-flung records, mixed with Delon's breezy, unique style. Part of the reason why people have come to love his DJing so much is that it just kind of puts a smile on your face. Listen and you'll see.

Outsidecast 50 | Tom Cottrell

London-based selector and Spaced co-founder, Tho, has risen to a position of prominence over the last decade for his honed ear and talent for joining the dots between disparate styles.  

Off the back of well-regarded podcasts for Timeless, Dimensions & The Ghost he graces the series with this sublime hour that's difficult to pin down; equal parts spacious and groovy but with enough twists and turns to hold attention throughout.

Welcome Tom Cottrell! 🌵🌞

A crypted transmission just landed on our servers. After thorough analysis, we could identify the author : the mad lad @tomcottrell, double-agent-DJ from the infamous collective of musicians partygoers, @spacedlondon and founder of @alphavillerecords.

What he sent us is probably your next favorite Rakya's podcast. 1h of riding explosions and jumping from genres to genres with insolence. A perfect representation of Spaced ethos - always mix on the edge, never fall for easy narratives and maintain, at all cost, one key element : SURPRISE.

STRAIGHT FLAVOURS 019 - THO

Kicking Off Volume Three We Bring You The Sounds Of THO. Known for curating some of the best experiences via his co founded party Spaced LDN.  Known for his in-depth musical library and exquisite tastes across various genres - Tho will take you on a steppy galactic journey via his point of view. His first mix in the UKG & 2Step Nature. We have been massive fans of his mixes so a huge honour to have him on our series. 

Tho On UKG - "Ah UKG. My love for the genre goes back even further back than I can really remember. Back in my teens, I used to nab my Dad's Pure Garage CDs and rave away in my bedroom, singing away to the timeless catchy jams on my tod. Even my first ever record I bought was a garage tune (El-Tuff 2-3-Bass for anyone wondering). Nothing beats playing a UKG 2step slinky number in the middle of a house set and seeing the instant reaction from people. It seems to have some kind of magnetic pull over people - me included as with every time I move home, I seem to move closer and closer to the birthplace of UKG in the deepest parts of South London. Even my girlfriend pretty much refuses to listen to anything else (garage girls are so fine hey). I loved putting my first 2step inspired mix for DimSum - hope you dig it."

So SeatBelts On! Enjoy

"To those that know, Spaced is one of London’s best underground parties. The music policy, provided by an expert cast of residents, is deep, breaky, wibbly-wobbly house and techno; while a focus on unusual venues - various warehouses, occasionally a boat down the Thames - and a fancy dress theme keeps the atmosphere loose, fun and friendly."
