Flight Club began as a joke between crew members of dublab’s ongoing performance series at LAX. Over many months, cavernous airport corridors narrated by dublab’s ever evolving music curation served as an aeomebic cess pool for which Beau, Ashla, Jake and Qu’ran could forge a most charming alliance. Their co-working banter, increasingly unhinged, initially led them to a dangerous airplane themed gang concept, and eventually to the less legally frought DJ collective idea. “How about a radio show that’’s actually a virtual audio vacation?” Flight Club passengers are welcomed on such psychonautic voyages. Expect crash landings in unique music scenes around the world and with a focus on dance music- fear not for your life though, but rather for your body’s stillness, for it cannot survive in these flying conditions.

Episode 1 of Flight Club explores dance music in modern Los Angeles, where the DJ collective was formed. It’s a sort of ceremonial goodbye party before boarding an inaugural flight to distant lands in upcoming episodes. Tune in to get acquainted with your hosts Beau, Ashla, Jake and Qu’ran.

dublab - Alpha Runner 05.15.24 (goodbye alpha runner, dublab membership drive)

Here for two hours on dublab – “The Duality of Blue” is explored through the curated tunes by yours truly… Nasanieru.

The environment you’ll witness strays from the imitative, pursues the creative, and emphasizes the sound to speak fully and freely.

From the roots, “the underground”, and to the surface beyond – the releases contained within “Azul” aim to broaden listeners’ horizons and true understanding.

On this month’s episode, Nasanieru is joined by Dj BloodHound & Dj 5tr8ch of No Nonsense Records.

5tr8tch and Bloodhound are the ones behind No Nonsense Records. We started this communal space and record shop because we saw and absence of places like this in the city that were centered around the underground scene of Los Angeles. the mission of our space is to consistently have curated selections for anyone from DJs to casual listeners, but to also emphasize that this a place to learn, hang out, sesh, and overall somewhere people can come to share common interest’s with like minded people. This city can be very big and intimidating to people trying to get into this music, especially for the youth. My favorite part of this business is getting people records that they have been looking for or haven’t been able to find elsewhere, especially when I know it’s a dj that will play the record in the city for me to hear aswell, it truly is a special moment when I see a dj who’s recently got into vinyl play a record they bought at my shop in a warehouse. I’ve been able to replace peoples record they have lost overseas, rare white labels that you will only come across a hand full of times in life, and records I’ve sold multiple times because I know they are hot. And that’s why I do this,Not for money, but to ensure good music is being played on wax in one of the best underground electronic scenes in the world. ⁃ 5tr8tch

AARON PAAR Membership Finale Marathon (05.31.24)

In celebration of pride month and in honor of the historical Black American holiday, Juneteenth; a holiday that commemorates the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in the state of Texas. The last state to legally have slaves.
DeFacto X, a Texas native and direct descendent of this specific African American lineage, curated a special set in honor of both of these important moments in Black American history while encapsulating the black queer underground sound that he is actively shaping today.

dublab - Connector (07.17.24)

I’m released an EP of breakbeat, bass/club tracks in May of 2024 on Scuffed Recordings, so I thought it would be fun to explore a breakbeat themed mix on the show. I felt like we had to start out with the three (arguably) most influential drum breaks in the history of dance music:

Lynn Collins – Think About It
James Brown – Funky Drummer
The Winstons – Amen Brother

The iconic drums on these songs have been sampled countless times, literally contributing to the development of entire genres of dance music. The sound of these drums has become a language unto itself. You can hear the influence of these breaks in classic US house tracks, which traveled across the pond and morphed into early UK Hardcore, eventually speeding up and becoming Jungle, giving rise to the entire Hardcore continuum of UK dance music. This mix traverses this history from the original tracks, through classic dance tunes, eventually blending these historical influences with their modern incarnations.

Tracklist:

Lynn Collins – Think (About It)
James Brown – Funky Drummer
The Winstons – Amen Brother
Ian Pooley – Since Then

Backwards Looking Forwards - Dublab (05.26.23)

(05/28/24) Silk Road Secret Agents: Do Androids Dream of Electric Camels?

Silk Road Secret Agents is Discotchari’s monthly debriefing of music that highlights the fusion of musical movements around the world and throughout the ages with ethnic identities rooted in the diverse Silk Road region. We also dive deep into the history of artists whose life stories and music evoke dramatic cinema fit for Tarantino, Kiarostami, Wong Kar-Wai, Youssef Chahine and other legendary directors. These artists often times relied on their musical talent to navigate complex social structures, unite people from different backgrounds, and preserve their ethnic roots by reimagining them in new forms: inspiring the name “Silk Road Secret Agents.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have a very special episode for you today: environmental, experimental, and electronic Japanese imports – with the obi sleeves! Speaking of obi sleeves, the commercial head-rush of city pop music in Japan was naturally followed by a musical movement emphasizing balance and harmony with natural surroundings; guided by the ancient Japanese principle of “nagomi”. This show highlights the influences of 80s environmental music on the full scope of electronic genres that emerged in Japan throughout the 90s; produced by industry legends, political activists, and future stars from the underground. Listen in for a tour through all of Japan’s unique soundscapes, from lush forests and crashing waves to imposing skyscrapers and rhythmic metro lines.

Named after a stolen spaceship. 

Heart of Gold is an Earth based human of infinite improbability. 
This would potentially seems silly, unless of course you happen to be able to see the seams of reality beyond the veil (and ultimately, timeline convergence). That in mind, It makes as much sense as anything to just enjoy music until it's all enveloped in a tachyonic membrane anyways… 
Heart of Gold does just that with love for an intoxicating mix of rich atmospheric synth-scapes and cinematically flowing dance grooves.
Seasonal issued, narrative styled mixes (released on SoundCloud every Equinox / Solstice) have racked up over 80,000 plays.
Heart of Gold has also gained a reputation by supporting acts such as Magda, Matthew Dear, CASSIM, Josh Butler, and John Monkman at some of the most popular spots for Los Angeles partygoers.

Discotchari (a portmanteau of "disco" and the folk dance "kotchari") is the investigative musical journey of Zachary Asdourian and Anaïs Gyulbudaghyan; together they are pushing the boundaries of Armenian music produced in diaspora outposts and strongholds from Boston to Beirut, Montevideo to Marseilles and Santa Monica Boulevard to Sayat Nova Avenue. Functioning as a record label and performing act, they are passionate about under-exposed dance music born from immigrant communities and cultural waves around the world; their ultimate goal is to ensure Armenian music thrives in the global landscape of "international rare grooves" by supplying soundtracks that sway multicultural audiences and build solidarity through shared appreciation of irresistible songs. Additionally, they host a monthly radio show, promote events at renown local venues, and share physical discoveries on their YouTube and Instagram channels.
