What does dancing mean to you?
•
" I really enjoy (and miss) hanging out and going to clubs, however, I am not really a dancer myself so I don’t think I am the best person to answer this one. It might sound a bit geeky but I tend to find joy listening and immersing myself in the loud sounds and deep frequencies of the club. Having said that, dancing it’s a really intimate thing for me, I might seldomly do it but at home only. "

Alec Pace has been steadily paving his way with a plethora of varied releases on the likes of All Centre and his own Early Reflex, that tap into very complex electronic soundscapes full of raw energy. With a classical music background and a long time in punk bands, when he was younger, you can sense that blend of studied precision and no rules attitude in all his production and mixes. His mix for us delivers a neo-futuristic club environment full of organised chaos that one can't help but let loose too.

Omni – meaning all-encompassing – is an apt title for celebrating over a decade of existence of Blue Hour Music. Marking the musical diversity and longevity of Blue Hour's imprint, the Omni V/A series brings together a wide range of artists from the full electronic music spectrum, plunging into a pool of techno, trance, breaks and everything in between.

The common ground of early 2000’s progressive and trancy sounds of house music serves as the foundation and inspiration for the birth of Soft Bites (Modah & DJ Estrella). It's a seemless blend of tomorrow's peaktime productions paired with the lush and dreamy proggyness of yesterday. Add to that a dash of Ibiza's ecstatic sunrise scene, and you're in for a deep ride through the neverending cycle of escapist club music.

Soft Bites is the duo project of Copenhagen DJs and producers Modah and DJ Estrella. Modah is co-owner of record label TRTLNCK and has played every venue known to Copenhagernes creating profound dancefloor experiences for the past decade. Beside music, DJ Estrella has been a keen nightlife activist with KFP, Et Andet Sted, Ved Siden Af and Loophole Magazine, as well as hosting monthly podcast on nightlife music and activism.

We are back with a new podcast, this time by London-based TSUNIMAN! 

"This 1-hour recording takes listeners on a spooky journey through the depths of 90s progressive psytrance. I've delved deep into some of the oldest records in my collection, which I've played live a few times in recent years but never had the opportunity to include in a podcast. 

These tracks deserve a place in these recordings as they are profound markers of the darker sides of my sound. The entire mix has been curated to follow a thread symbolising both pain and euphoria, beginning in hellish progressive depths and culminating in joyful psychedelic chaos."

Based in Naarm, Melbourne, Nicolas’ approach to mixing is purely organic and well explained by @geotherapy’s roots in the lands of Awabakal and Wurundjeri. Halfway between psytek rhythms, dub and halfstep, Sleep Exchange mixes subtle  cybernetic elements, opening up a vast imaginary for dynamic and precise narratives. His Rapture residency broadcasts monthly from @area3000, where the local community is invited to explore darker shapes of sound and dance.

Hit play and zone out to these two hours of deep yet uplifting techno and trance, delivered by two true legends of Copenhagen underground electronic community. Although these two shined of their own light last time they played  individually on RP, this time they really outdid themselves. Thank you for the treasured moments and the hip pain friends <3

MEGANESIA Mix | FineDining

Oceanic makes distinctly modern house and techno with attention grabbing synths and lithe sound design. The Dutchman's production is often quirky and curious and finds him bringing plenty of subtly inventive new ideas to his grooves. They have come on the likes of Nous'klaer Audio, while last year he put out a live recording of one of his many sets at Amsterdam's De School. It was an experimental ambient mix from the club's auditorium and this week he starts in a similar fashion before getting down to his more dance floor orientated sound. 

The mix races up to speeds of 150bpm, often with hyperactive drum programming and day glo synths lighting up the airwaves. The whole thing races by like a high speed hallucination, a trip to another dimension that somehow never sounds like house, or techno, or anything in between. It is genre-fluid, thrillingly unusual music littered with alien lifeforms and cyborg funk of the highest order.

A master of kinetic percussion and low end bass weight, Hemlock, Timedance and Hessle Audio producer Ploy (@deejayploy) has long been a techno favourite. On his most recent album, Unlit Signals on L.I.E.S., however, he mixes it up much more across nomadic tracks filled with visceral energy. In fact, the record chews up and spits out influences taken from "decades of UK dance" as well as plenty of harder, more raw and noisy industrial scenes. It features eight tracks all with a darker overriding mood, as well as "dishevelled closing hours delirium applied across a spectrum of bpm." 

That is of course the case on this week's podcast, which is a slippery selection of weighty rhythmic propulsions. As they pull you up, down, forwards and back, fractured percussion peppers the groove and twisted synths weave their way in and out of the cavernous spaces left behind. Whether playing slow and sludgy bass or hard and fast techno, Ploy seems somehow able to warp space and time, and often your mind and body are left just as bent out of shape.

Here’s the recording of my Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, which I recorded at the start of 2020 and was broadcast in June. Feeling like I’d been given some big shoes to fill, I spent a couple of months planning a rambunctious, high-energy party mix that would also still be pretty ambitious in the range of styles and tempos it would cover, finally finishing it just as the first lockdowns were kicking in. Obviously, by the time it was eventually broadcast it felt a little out of step with the times. But listening back to it I still feel like it’s one of my better studio mixes, and with the holidays (and a vaccine) around the corner maybe its energy will even feel newly appropriate. So in case you missed the official broadcast – or wanted a download – here it is.

I included a handful of all-time personal favourites, and most of the tracks marked “unreleased” are presumably up on Bandcamp by now so go show the artists and labels a bit of love if you’re feeling it.
