Yes yes ! This one took some time, mostly from my side, since the beginning of summer focus has been a bit off-focused. But here we are back on track presenting you a very special summer soaked podcast by Paris-based Tom Joyce.

I met Tom last year in August together with his buddy Juliano at Heidegluehen club in Berlin where he took over the decks after my long warm up set. I got completely sucked into his groove and we later hung out the whole day and night in this special club full of love and peace. A place for real house music. 

Tom also runs the amazing Sounds Benefit label releasing deep electro, breaky house and quirky minimal. 

I’m very pleased to have this classy dj, producer and label owner with us for our most recent podcast.  Open your windows, serve yourself a cold beverage and enjoy the jams in this excellent mixtape. 

Thanks Tom, hope to catch you soon again somewhere on a funky dance floor.

The Basic Moves Of ... TOM JOYCE

Tom Joyce’s sought after Sounds Benefit label marks their milestone tenth release with “7 Years Of Sounds Benefit”, a carefully curated selection of essential artists and rising talents presented as a double vinyl LP. The two slabs of wax manoeuvre between innovative electro and refined flavours of house and techno for trained ears.

First up is a reissue from S-Max, “New Delhi Projects”, previously released on Below back in ‘99. A chugging display of sounds that were way ahead of their time. After featuring on SND002, Ben Cohen makes his comeback on the label with “Short Night”, a breakbeat journey which boasts beautiful and emotive chord progressions. The B side features somewhat of a rarity as Etienne shares a track, “Gateway Experience”, futuristic energy from the accomplished producer, layered with subtle yet effective acid tones. Label head Tom Joyce delivers “7:15pm”, a dreamy quest through melt in your mind synths and punchy electro drum patterns.

As we approach the second vinyl, we uncover further gems from the archive as Lowtec kindly shares his unreleased “La Java 2014”, which was created circa. 2000. Javier Carballo and Aniano have been making positive movements with their Hdz moniker in recent times, and “Moog” is another stamp of approval, a warm bass line converses with the crisp drums and spaced out elements. On the flip, Berlin based Englishman Rob Amboule turns out a killer elasticated groove which takes you for a late night shuffle in “Scrap It”. Huge fun for the hazy hours on the dance floor. Nuversion, formerly known as Juliano, showcases his debut track under this name with “Crepuscule”, addressing further pensive moods with his classy production. Ending the fantastic release in a meditative state of mind, cruising on sweet melodies.

Desde los 126 BPMs hasta 142, pretendo que esta sesión sea un viaje por el electro breaks. Sub género en constante auge, aunque nunca se sale de lo underground, con cada vez más presencia en el sur de España en salas como Paris 15, Cosmos o El Jardín de Industrial Copera, y con presencia en grandes festivales y clubs europeos, como Dekmantel, DGTL..

From 126 BPMs to 142, I wish do this session to be a journey through electro breaks. Sub genre that is constantly growing up but never leaves the underground sound, with an increasing presence in the south of Spain in venues such as Paris 15, Cosmos or El Jardín de Industrial Copera, also present into the best Europe festivals and clubs, as like Dekmantel, DGTL...

According to Tom Joyce of Darien, CT We recently passed the anniversary of one of the the most momentous events in the history of America’s pastime. On April 15th some seventy seven years ago, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball. The hurdles were high, the emotions searing yet this man stood tall and paved the way for generations of great black athletes to compete on a level playing field. And in doing so, they raised the standards of the game. Find source here: https://medium.com/@tomjoycedarien/the-five-most-important-people-of-the-20th-century-7100b0c9b8bc

Tom Joyce Darien: The Five Most Important People of the 20th Century

Ellen Grady and Tom Joyce talk about the life and activism of Peter DeMott, who passed away in 2009. In his honor, every year on Father's Day, the Peace Trot, a 5-k run (or walk) takes place in Ithaca. The funds raised are for the benefit of the Catholic Worker House in Ithaca.
We discuss the work members of Catholic Worker have been engaged in for decades, including plowshare actions against nuclear weapons. Currently, U.S. nuclear weapons are stationed in several European countries under the NATO sharing policy. The U.S. is planning on building more nuclear weapons at a staggering cost, despite the existential threat to life on the planet.
