Another lovely Schemer debut by aak DJ. Her hypnotizing soundscapes and quirky rhythms proved the perfect early afternoon soundtrack for our third edition. We're happy to feature her first ever online recording.

NIKS (@niksbad) is as dedicated as anyone to furthering dance music culture. Hailing from south-east London via Bath, NIKS has long proven her curatorial skills with radio shows on BBC Radio 1, Rinse, and NTS. Her idiosyncratic blends of ‘90s groovy, rhythmic sounds and forward-thinking, underground-leaning soundscapes have brought her to some of the world’s most revered clubs. After contributing music to various compilations, last year she explored bass-heavy sounds with her first solo EP on Or:la’s Céad label. Beyond her work as a musician, NIKS also co-founded the Black Artist Database, a crowd-sourced list of Black-owned labels, artists, and producers designed to amplify and uplift talent.

Ahead of her debut at the Dekmantel Festival this year, NIKS serves up a 90-minute window into her current musical world, including her own forthcoming productions in a deep, dub-infused journey into hypnotic techno and house rhythms that intertwine to create a warm, supple soundscape. Its seamless flow takes in sounds from the past, present, and future, and they all encourage you to move and meditate in equal measure."

Universal and electric, flowing with liquid and environmental sounds. Latin rhythms collide with broken fragments, building a crescendo of sensuality and velocity. Intriguing vocals ride over rolling grooves, acid tones, and techno kicks, creating irresistible bursts of energy.

Kia’s meditative cosmic aura meets Bitter Babe’s rhythmic fire in a tribal, sassy mix that moves, pulses, and evolves. Layered textures, ancestral grooves, and veteran bass carry the set through ravishing hours of sound.

Carlos Souffront playing @ substance (25.01.2003, Fink Club, Essen, D)
This is the part two of his original DJ set, recorded live on the very first "substance" night.
Among many other talents, Carlos is simply an incredible DJ, one of its kind, who strongly defined and inspired "substance" that night by just having done what he does.
