GOLDEN HITS #1

Spring Vibe Mix

Ez! 
A lil break in the pod series leads us to New York based duo Ma Sha Ru, stepping up for number 49. They've taken no prisoners with this 1, 50 minutes of heavy bass beltas. Sorta tunes that make you crave to wanna hear em on a system.  Big ups to them, a real corka of a mix :) 

We also caught up with em for a lil chat, read below! >

AM: What have you been doing recently? 

Setting up a new studio! haha We've been travelling to a few places last year to be together since COVID travel restrictions made things different. It feels nice to be finally back in NYC and have a proper set up. We also just released a new split EP with Ayesha on Kindergarten Records and a track on Pressure Dome compilation. Overall, we've been working on finishing more projects to come later in the year + preparing a new live set. Very busy and very much enjoying this! :)


AM: Your recent track for Pressure Dome as great, what’s the process behind your production? 

The process behind this track was actually atypical. The lyrics were written during our lockdown time in Minsk, Belarus. We talk about our willingness not to conform to rules that society puts on you and how to find a way to stay out of these limitations. The beat of the track was made during a short stay on an island in Italy during last Spring and deeply inspired by the freedom of the surroundings. There are water field recordings at the beginning of the track that were made on the spot. In this case we didn't have our machines with us since we were not in our studio, so everything was made in the box. Usually we involve the use of MPC 3000 and Bass Station II on our productions. 


AM: Where & how did you record the mix? Was there a theme for it as such? 

We recorded it in our apartment in Queens, NY. We recently moved a DJ booth to the living room, bought some big plants and set up neon color lights, so the vibes were just right! The set up is two XDJs 700, Pioneer DJM 600, a pair of KRK monitors. It's actually mad hot in NYC now, so we had a constant sound of the old AC working behind our backs but we think we still made it no matter how loud it was haha The idea behind the mix was to play some new stuff we got during this month and a few forthcoming bits from our friends. So happy to see everybody doing their thing - big up to our friends killing it with the tunes and labels!


AM: What have ya been listening to and digging recently?

Really enjoying the projects of our Kindergarten crew - Ayesha, Despina, Drummy, Stolen Velour and Ziyiz got something very hot in the works/forthcoming! We also just got back from a trip to Mexico CIty and felt very inspired by the Infinite Machine team and El Irreal Veintiuno productions. Of course, always big up to Sorry Records, Pressure Dome and Shubzin!

AM: Whats next for ya in 2021?

We have 2 EPs planned for the rest of the year/early 2022 and 4 compilations so far :) Going to start working on a new live set soon too, so we are looking forward to the future!

Ya v pogone za toboi Otovsudu by Lega

Globetrotters, time travelers, fun seekers, vinyl diggers, dance lovers… Many are the types of beings that thrive in this sonic culture of ours, finding shelter and happiness in this sensorial and emotional universe fostered by musical communion. And the creatures therein are more than just characters, they comprise the fauna and flora of these aural environments in which we dwell and revel, sustaining it with both their projects and their passion. Take the magnificent French trio known as Bayetë for example, an autonomous ecosystem of discovery and debauchery that strives to create the perfect conditions for our enjoyment of the treasures they find in their excursions across the world. A noble purpose that is so powerful that it does not solely rely on the collective's togetherness to exist, each of its members carry that same seminal drive in everything they do individually. Something we can perfectly perceive in this episode of Gop Cast where Simon, one of its members who recently relocated to São Paulo, manages to encapsulate the eclectic excellence of their musical abundance in a stellar mix of moods, grooves and everything in between.

FILTH Invites: Episode 25 - Bønehead

Right when you thought the 80's had been mostly dug out, the "Night City Life" compilation hits the shelves. 
Ever since we heard his compilation for Spacetalk we were blown away: one of the best curations of early MIDI dancefloor/radio oriented productions we'd heard in a while. Truly refreshing to the human ear, not to mention the heavy research behind it. As such, we've wanted to book Ilan ever since but then COVID happened. Still a wet dream to see him do his thing live but for now here's this amazing bit of aural goodness to get you in the right mindset. 

Ilan is a London-based record collector. He can often be found posting the artwork of 80s vinyl from his collection on Instagram; a patchwork of nostalgia from musical days gone by.

Check him out on IG and listen carefully - your discogs wantlists will never be the same.

H.A.N.D. MIX 027 - Ilan (Night City Life)

For the thirteenth installment of our increasingly sporadic mix series, we've invited London’s mighty producer, DJ, and designer duo @good-block. They have recently self-released their second EP - ‘Aquaculture' following their debut '4 Corners EP’. Their third release is due out later this summer, and if you listen closely you can find a new bit tucked away in this excellent, genre-bending mix they've prepared for us.

Be sure to check out 'Flute Dub', their contribution to the new @planettrip compilation Ordinary Dreams Vol. 2, which has just landed on the internet and will soon be stocked in record stores worldwide. 

Do enjoy.

Eight Dates Radio Show by Discka — August 2022

The Tiger Tapes are back and this time we're really happy to have two very special guests: @heelsandsouls  - one of London's foremost not-for-profit parties, re-issue label, and the DJ duo of Ben Croft and Patrick Forrester. 

These lads have been making waves in the music scene by re-issuing amazing gems such as The Soundstealer's classic jam "Amazonia" in collaboration with a rework from buddies Good Block with their signature dubby goodness.

Much more can be said about these two, but let's let the music talk for itself, as they have delivered a proper chuggy downtempo workout that moves into more psychedelic proggyness.

Tiger Tapes 007 - Heels & Souls

Eight Dates’ returns this month with a first guest show by Mark Dartau, featuring his selection of mostly 90s bleep-y techno classics.

Mark is a DJ and curator of Xpone — a project  that is focused on the search "of that very sound".

Diana aka Discka, the host of the show, says: "We continue. If you secretly wished to go on a date with Grisha, then in October I can give you this chance. Eight light and concise dance tracks, that will make you move your hips. Let me remind you that Grisha already has two full-length albums behind him. He is a talented and very kind guy, definitely worth a walk;)".

Слово Диане aka Discka: "Продолжаем. Если вы тайно мечтали сходить на свидание с Гришей, то в октябре я дарю вам такую возможность. Восемь легких каноничных танцевальных треков, которые заставят вас двигать бедрами. Напомню, что за плечами Гриши уже два полноформатных альбома. Это талантливый, еще и очень добрый парень, погулять точно стоит;)".

"In October, I say goodbye to TESTFM listeners and want to share the final episode of the ‘Eight Dates’ show from kolya, who is also familiar to us as lovvlifer. Not long ago, he formed the MMK project together with Mori Mori. Watch them closely, should be great. 

In the meantime, we can remember how we once wanted to break our guitars and wipe the floor with overgrown hair to loud broken-heart-core." ~ @disckadi

Eight Dates Radio Show w/ kolya — October 2023

Greg will join us and a merry gang of friends at Glastonbury this weekend!

"Recorded in May 2019 at the FAC 51 The Haçienda party, held at the stunning Albert Hall in Manchester. I've played a number of Haçienda events in recent years, but this was undoubtedly the best environment, with the venue full by the time I went on at 10pm. I really enjoy this type of scenario where I can build things up from scratch, starting off around 100bpm and gradually increasing the tempo so the next DJ, in this case Chez Damier, is teed up to transition into the House vibe more associated with The Haçienda. This gave me the opportunity to illustrate some of the other tracks that were played and loved at the club down the years. "

Oxford's well established and highly praised club night Simple has formed an integral part of the underground music scene over the past decade here in the UK. This November we welcome two of their finest residents, Em Williams & Stav - who join us for one night only down in Undertone.

Year after year these guys deliver hands down some of the best sets we have witnessed at Gottwood Festival. We've been extremely eager to bring them over to Cardiff and look forward to hearing their spin on UKG, electro, techno and everything in-between.

Meanwhile, enjoy this crafty hour long eclectic mix by Emily and Stav... bliss.
