Deep Quest Essentials 65

The beach was crowded, the good folks from out of town had decided that today was the day to descend upon the pearly shores and celebrate as if the sun was taking its final breath. This wasn't the city that he knew though. He knew of another side of town...

San Diego was the name given to the front facing extravaganza which was beach parlours and candy floss. San Diago were the streets which sat behind the glimmering facade, where the real people lived and had fun once the darkness had fallen.

They lived on street corners, laughed and hung out as the stars flickered up above. Really it all belonged to them.

PREMIERE: Arnau Obiols & KAYYAK - San Diago (Rahaan Remix) [Compost Records]

Had a blast last month warming things up for my dear friend Lee Willow at his birthday bash.

Headlining a true legend CJ Mackintosh, CJ was a huge influence for both myself and Lee growing up and did not disappoint. 

Big love Willow for an amazing night.  

Hoochie Coochie - Willows Birthday

the opening song is for zoe...since she loved it so much when she heard it...

you may find her or her love toxic.. its not for everyone. and its not easy to navigate. but, for me at least.. its worth it <for now>. 
everything can change. and i am ok with change. or im learning to be ok with it.

anyway, as she would say.... no techno. you can leave cuz u wont find any techno here. 
i say...i do what i want. and u will find techno here. along with whatever other generic dance music i play.
...and so...her and i establish trust and boundaries. and thats why i have never really had any issues with her.  this is my experience. dont compare yours to mine. just do better for yourself.


recorded in mid August 2024

Disco Mix - March 2025

Phonica reaches out to one of the finest names in Chicago for our 129th mix.
Starting off in the 90's playing from cassette tapes with a group of friends under the moniker ‘Chuck Brothers’ Rahaan started to build an extensive house and disco collection that by 1996 would come to define him as one of Chicago’s stand out house and disco DJs. This would of course secure him with residencies at ‘The Spot’ and one of Chicago’s best clubs ‘Buddha Lounge’. A reputation he would cement with gigs all over the globe in the proceeding years also giving him an audience to his skills in production that have seen him release records with reputable labels like Lumberjacks From Hell, Z Records, Hot Biscuit, BBE and more. For this mix the Chicago legend takes us on a trip with over an hour of deep, soulful and funky disco house. We had a brief chat with Rahaan about the mix and what he has coming up!

Phonica Mix Series 129: Rahaan

(EN) JIMMY DISCO is, as his name suggests, a disco music enthusiast. But not only that. A DJ and digger since the second half of the 90s, he began his DJ career in the middle of the FRENCH TOUCH and thus quickly performed in renowned clubs such as Les Folie’s Pigalle, the Rex, the Café du Trésor, the Queen. Inspired by pure HOUSE MUSIC with soulful, garage, jazz, afro sounds, but also more raw from Chicago or Detroit, he focuses on his favorite style DISCO. Since then, he continues to “travel” with his records and his communicative energy with the public, the different Parisian and European stages such as the Sacré, La Bellevilloise, Le Badaboum, Le Djoon, Le Fréquence, Le Bambino, or even festivals like Marvellous Island. In 2024, he tried his hand at production and plans to release his first track entitled “HUG DANCE”.

London's leading independent record shop. Also home to labels Phonica Records, Phonica White, Phonica Records Special Editions and @KarakulRecords.

DJ / Producer

Michael Caffin, better known by his artist name Soul Jawa, is an American deep house producer based out of San Diego, California. He is a Dutch native with family roots tracing back to the Dutch Colonial era of the East Indies - now known as Indonesia. Both of his parents originated from the Indonesian island Java, or Jawa, by locals. 

He studied music at a young age while also producing mixtapes with multi reel-to-reels and turntables. When moving to San Diego, he took a much needed break. Thereafter, he explored remixing instead and surprisingly received a welcoming response from established artist—such as, The Shapeshifters, Dutchican Soul, and DJ Chickawowwow of StreetSoundsRadio (UK). 

With guidance from industry expert—Oscar P, Soul Jawa is dropping his own tracks on record labels such as Kolour Recordings (Detroit), Open Bar Music (NYC), and HEAVY (NYC). It also allowed him to produce "Deep Quest Essentials", which airs weekly on Starguardz Radio, Amsterdam and Brabant Mfm Radio, all available on Soundcloud.

music strictly for your listening purposes. i try to make it more fun sometimes.

A music obsessive I have been collecting records for over 20 years, always on the hunt for music new and old. 
Expect to hear quality underground music encompassing a range of styles including Disco, Boogie, Soul, Funk and House. 
I love my music deep and soulful.
