TRACKLIST & INTERVIEW

Balance Selections 207: Deetron

@dee_diggs plays with a sense of rapture that can be soft or heavy, but is always fun. The East Coast selector is Brooklyn-based, and that's where her House of Diggs party offers a place for marginalized groups to express and organize themselves. Next to this, she has a residency at Public Records but no matter where she plays, you can be sure it is always with real respect for the Black roots of house, techno and disco while touching on everything from sensual grooves to euphoric thumpers. 

This week's mix is a seat-of-your-pants selection that is unashamedly party-focussed. The good vibes flow from the first moment as Dee races through passionate house and vocal laced classics. There are moments of all-out hands in the celebration next to boogie workouts and a heart-swelling Mariah Carey edit. It's a quick, tight, and impossibly enjoyable listen from this cultured party-starter.

Our next mix comes from someone we've been dying to have on here - one of our absolute favourite producers and DJs @caim-records ! 

As one of the mainstays in the Amsterdam scene, Mark has been putting out some incredibly classy records on his own imprint, drawing inspiration from deep house, electro, techno and the incredible talent pool of his peers such as Eversines, RDS and Human Space Machine. 

As well as his productions, he is an incredibly deep digger with the skills to match, flawlessly weaving together gems from across the musical spectrum of the last 20 years. As you know, this is exactly what we like here at On Ro so we're more than happy to present this fantastic mix from a true DJ's DJ.

"Working my ass off, to be honest," is how Eli Escobar starts our interview  below. That basically sums up his vibe. The New Yorker might not have the same household name status of other DJs who have been soundtracking Manhattan clubs since the early '90s, but he certainly deserves it. Any New York resident worth their salt should have him near the top of the list of their favorite local DJs. He plays anywhere and everywhere in the city, and he can play pretty much anything he wants to, as his RA Podcast will attest.

When it comes to his own music, Escobar puts out records equally informed by disco, hip-hop and house—in other words, a very New York sound. He hasn't been producing as long as he's been DJing, but his albums and EPs for labels like Classic, Night People and Razor N Tape are full of the soul, humor and talent of someone who knows dance music inside out.

As Escobar says below, he doesn't really have any one type of sound. His DJing varies greatly from night to night, and he's always adding to his considerable collection, so no one set is quite the same as another. For his RA Podcast, put together painstakingly with many specially edited tracks and recorded in a hotel room in Colombia, he strikes a relatively reflective tone, but it's still eminently danceable. He moves gradually through two hours of house and disco that ranges from celebratory to muted, from minimalist to rich with live instrumentation. It's the sound of New York dance music as passed through generations, from one of its best and most beloved musical storytellers.

DASCO's energy is infectious. Just watch a clip of her behind the decks or catch her in action IRL and you'll find it impossible to disagree.

It's always a joy to see an artist vibing out and DASCO has been spreading this positive spirit wherever she goes, from her current home of Berlin to her native Tel Aviv and across the world in places like Sydney, Tokyo and Johannesburg.

The sense of freedom and connection she evokes on the dance floor translates to her mission to level the playing field for women, non-binary and LGBTQIA+ artists with the music industry. Earlier this year she launched Bisexuality Exists, a record label that works on the fact that "music - like life - is rarely ever black or white", and that there are "so many beautiful colours and shades in-between". The inaugural release, Get High With Me, came from DASCO herself, and is the perfect introduction to the uplifting club sounds that will form the label's musical ethos.
 
Just like her DJ sets and her previous releases for Local Talk, Housewax and upcoming outing for Shall Not Fade, the release blends DASCO's core influences; there's nods to 90s rave and acid house but through a fresh, contemporary lens.

Ahead of her set at Polifonic this weekend in Puglia, she treats us to a high energy pre-party mix of hands-in-the-air house, acid and techno, and gives us some free DASCO tips for a happy and healthy life...

Djoser is the moniker of Egyptian-born producer Shady Daoud. Now based in Washington DC he has risen to prominence through his singular approach to sound design which draws upon influences from Bass and Dubstep alongside his studies of Nubian music. As such, the end result is often fascinating and frantic, his sound unique and unnerving on the dancefloor in the best way.

His last release came out on the prominent record label 3024, the imprint run by Martyn. This in and of itself demonstrates the pedigree of his sound and his careful attention to detail having garnered the respect of a figurehead of the local scene and a renowned musician on the global circuit.

More recently we received a promo copy of his new EP on Loosee which has been on heavy rotation and picked up by a number of DJ's in the know ever since.

All of this bodes very promisingly for an artist we expect is destined for big things - this mixtape is a statement of intent and we are delighted to welcome him to the series. Watch out..
