Couldn't be happier to kick off a six week run of weekly SORRYMIX releases with this fantastic set from our friend Razrbark (@razrbark) playing peak time for her Bossa Nova Civic Club debut 🎶

Stealing some copy here cause its too good --> "Part of the multidisciplinary Boof Sis squad, Razrbark bled into existence following an encounter with a sharp piece of wood during a pool party at a certain upstate music festival. Edge with her on the whimsy of evil."   🩸 🪵 🔪 

We've been fortunate enough to know Cleo for a minute now and her sets never fail to lock us in and bonk us out. Highly recommend listening to her set from the DJ Voices curated Hemlock Nights stage at last summer's Honcho Campout where she masterfully mixed everything from deep dub grooves to an unreleased Sobolik edit of Ray Baretto's "Acid" and The Brian Jonestown Massacre for what was a legit "A Star Is Born" moment for everyone lucky enough to be present!!

"Nick told everyone I was gonna play downtempo so to subvert expectations and do something that’s never been done before at bossa I proceeded to play fast. Faces melted. Patrons began vomiting. Blood poured from my eyes. The toilets exploded and shit filled the floors."  🧜‍♀️

SORRYMIX33: Razrbark - Live at Bossa Nova Civic Club

💥Recorded live at Bounce House on 9/7/24 between 2-4am💥

We previously wrote that this guest is a "bass wizard and sonic sorcerer" - this holds true enough, but we might need to brush up on our astrophysics to accommodate ADAB's expansive, space-time-traversing flow. A seasoned selector with an incredible range of emotive and kinetic rhythmic directions, ADAB's deft dancefloor work is trained by a zig-zagging dance music trajectory from front-of-house to behind the scenes, front door to behind the booth, from DIY corners to polished clubland. They have brought a real artist's vision to Philadelphia's roster of talent, and it's a pleasure to welcome them back.

Day Thief - The Ever Afters Campout 2024 - Heart Lodge

@jiodub live at @outracena

Excited to welcome our good friend from across the pond, a selector's selector and legend of Dublin, Jio. Here he shares an opening set from Outra Cena in 2024, opening for RAMZI. It's a masterclass in range and pacing, perfect for soundtracking these first days of spring. 

Interview to come soon, but some words from Mr. Jio himself: 

"I just really feel I have the most to say when playing slower tempos and sort of having fun with layering melody and getting to be as eclectic as possible, as opposed to being sort of stylized. This mix is very stylistically all over the place, but I guess it's trying to find balance and beauty within all of that."

"Irish people have a conspiracy theory that the company that owns Guinness, Diageo, constructed [splitting the G] during COVID. Guinness is obviously very difficult to drink during COVID because you need pubs open, which they weren't. It was all takeaway. So what we said was that they came up with that as sort of an excuse, because you end up drinking the pint twice as fast, and you end up drinking a lot more. But unfortunately, the Brits were at it again, and London basically popularized it globally. And they, as you may have experienced from being there before, have the worst [pints] in the world, almost. It's very, very bad. And it seems quite hilarious that they're getting obsessed over a game and they don't even have the proper pint of liquid in their hand."

"I do feel that this idea of Irishness is something that prevails… it’s about being sort of humble, incredibly self-deprecating, but very welcoming… And it's something that I even find myself and Emma export a lot when we go abroad, you know? That kind of way, and how we interact and deal with people just naturally. People are like, oh, wow, people are usually a bit more closed and stuff. It's just not something that we ever consider. You know what I mean? It's just part of the way that we live every day here."

Jio - Can't Hack the Studio (Live from Outra Cena)

With 30 years of djing in numerous countries, Ron Like Hell has no intention of doing anything else in their lifetime. They produce queer centered events in NYC both solo and as part of the dj duo Wrecked. Ron’s support of young artists in the music industry is unquestionably genuine as they have shared their spotlight with djs in their radio show and parties. Hard to pin as dj of one particular genre is not a concern to Ron. With 26+ years of record store experience their excitement for music goes deep appreciating many genres which provide infinite inspiration. They still love programming their music for a single genre dance party. Indulging such events is in no way an obstacle or compromise. For Ron, it is similar to painting with oil instead of acrylic. There is no intention of being the greatest dj championing specific one or two genres as they prefer to be known as an eclectic dj that reads the room as best they can. Being so eclectic doesn't seem to prohibit their appeal from techno, disco and house music forward bookings..if anything it has increased their recognition and respect from some of the world's best parties and venues. A few of the most notable spaces are Panorama Bar, Lab.oratory and Ost (Berlin), Dekmantel Selectors, Draaimolen (Netherlands), Sustain-Release, Honcho Campout and residencies at Basement and Nowadays in the NYC area. Their creativity has even been immortalized on physical media with a dj mix on a one-sided vinyl accompaniment to Baxter Dury’s 2024 album, “I Thought I was Better Than You” and a mixtape for Mister Saturday Night Records MSN Tape series Their role in the industry is undeniably unique and influential.


Online features and words about Ron Like Hell


Via mistersaturdaynight records:
“Up next in our cassette DJ mix series is our neighbor, friend and beloved hometown hero Ron Like Hell. Eclectic is an overused word in dance music circles but in this instance it is an apt and deserving description of an artist whose years working in record stores and 26 plus years behind the decks afford him a musical knowledge and emotional understanding of a dancefloor for which there is no shortcut. This is mastery at work. Ron delivers two complimentary mixes, a home recording on side A and a recording from the booth at Nowadays from an all-night set on Halloween night 2024. Very limited run on this one so do not hesitate.”


Via Draaimolen Island: 

“Brooklyn’s Aurora Halal is rooted in the underground DIY scene of her city. Her shadowy and metallic DJ sets are sensual and forward thinking. Next to playing and making music, she is also the founder of festival Sustain-Release and co-host of this years (2024) Draaimolen Island. Ron Like Hell plays eclectic, assemblage-style sets with an obscure mix of techno, house, acid and disco. Both are no strangers to each other. In fact, the two have played quite a few times since 2018. With all this experience this back to back will set the dancefloor on fire for sure. Think psychedelic landscapes and long build-ups.”


Via TRUANTS Truancy dj mix series:
Interview & feature

Nowadays Sustain-Release Nonstop description on Resident Advisor:
“Sustain-Release founder Aurora Halal and WRECKED founder and local sweetheart Ron Like Hell come back together for another extended back-to-back set – a pairing that has stirred the cauldron on dancefloors ranging from a previous Nonstop, to Brooklyn rave MERGE, to Draaimolen Festival x Sustain-Release.”
