In this live talk with Tama Sumo, Lakuti and musclecars, the New York legend sets the record straight.

DJ, producer and remixer Yvonne Turner was one of the only women instrumental in shaping New York's early house scene, yet her story has gone largely undocumented. Born in Harlem in 1953, she started DJing regularly by the late '70s, playing weekly parties in Flatbush and getting her musical education at The Loft. There, she says, she learned how "good music" should sound. It inspired her to start going to the studio and sharing her musical revelations with other people.

As a woman producer, she was often relegated to the small print on records, bumped to associate or co-producer status or marked as a mixer instead of a remixer. Many of the male vocalists she worked with got credit for the music. But Turner penned some acclaimed house tracks, such as "Set Fire To Me," "Music Is The Answer" and the official remix of Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight." While Turner took a back seat for a few years, deciding to teach in elementary schools and wind down her touring, she recently got back in the studio and wants to set the record straight about the history of house and her place—and many other women's—within it. 

This conversation was moderated by Tama Sumo, Lakuti and the DJ duo musclecars live at Public Records in New York. Listen to the conversation in full.

One for the submersible crew, GGHQ Mix no.73 breezing and bubbling through. 

Our Berlin buddy and Celtic soul brother Jank Inc. supplying us with 70+ minutes of lefthand electrics of all shades and persuasions. One of the founders of Berlin club night and record label 'Pace Yourself', Jack has been out there transmitting for a wee while now. We've played at his heady club night at Paloma in the past, where a disgusted German woman stormed out of the club midway through the majestic Red Zone remix of Will Downing's 'The world is a ghetto' stating that it was 'the most offensive thing' she'd ever heard, followed by a near sunday morning war with the denizens of Görlitzer Park. All in all - we knew were kindred with the Pace Yourself mob that weekend. Only right then, that Jack should come aboard the good ship GG for a mix. 

Jack's mix is deep, subtle, atmospheric and introspective. The perfect music to drift to, all lovingly put together on a recent visit to his mother's house in Scotland. If you've tuned in to any of his Refuge Worldwide shows, or attended any of his underground events, then you know already. We're happy to present this one, get lost in it. You'll like it.

Hi everyone, I think it’s very hard not to get distracted with everything demanding our attention. Now more than ever, we’ve got to take back our time and attention to focus on what’s important. I’ve started collecting songs that bring me peace in troubled times. May it help you too <3

Went for a Candido-style phased disco beat a bit like the long mix of 1000 finger man, mixed with some standard house. Has different sections and moves about. Which makes it sound bad at best. And maybe it is. Who knows?

NTS Apron Show - 12th Sep 2018

For our last show in 2020, we bring you US DJ and producer @kush_jones, famed for his fresh take on the footwork genre. As one of the most prolific new electronic dance musicians out there, the Bronx-based artist has kept his fans satisfied throughout the past year with monthly releases on his Bandcamp site, including his “Strictly 4 My CDJZ” series, which has showcased his talent as a multifaceted producer.

His powerful, fast-paced footwork sound flirts with acid, drum and bass, hip-hop, house, jungle, techno, and funk, but despite its eclectic nature, his music remains carefully crafted, possessing both a clarity of vision and a hyper-modern sensibility. For Carhartt WIP Radio, Kush Jones has conducted a mix consisting exclusively of his own material – some of which has already been released, with other tracks debuting for the first time.  

As usual we sat down with our host for a digital face to face, to talk about his artistic aims, possessing a relentless work ethic, his passion for footwork and why “Kush Jones can do what he wants.”
