Jaye Ward, what a bloody legend!

In the sometimes insipid, fickle and murky waters of the dance world not many have navigated its depths with the wisdom, style and sophistication that Jaye Ward has. A force of nature who’s been wielding the acid, since acid began, Jaye still embodies the raw spirit of UK club culture – screaming into the void and moving bodies.

For three decades, she’s been keeping it real in the sweaty backrooms of Stoke-on-Trent’s Golden to the hallowed halls of fabric. Her path weaves through the history of British dance music like a rebel’s tale – from squat parties to Sabresonic, from The End to Turnmills, from Homobloc and Dalston Superstore to Field Maneuvers…and maybe somewhere else this summer that we might have a little hand in.

Jaye, like the best of these humans walking this rather odd planet, is a restless spirit and this mix she’s done for us is a fucking belter that reflects that.  It’s an examination of Jaye’s unwavering devotion to the weird and wonderful corners of dance music.

From a DJ who’s seen it all, Jaye remains perpetually curious. Get this in your ears, expect the unexpected, blur the conventional and dissolve into pure feeling…ONWARDS

INTERVIEW

Jaye Ward - The 'Alternate Currents' Ransom Note Mix

This podcast is a spiritual journey, bringing together tracks from diverse origins, eras, and musical worlds. Blending sounds that range from Dub, Ambient, New Age, Ethereal, Abstract, and Acid Jazz, it aims to showcase musical spheres beyond the club-oriented sounds we usually associate with Abajour. It also reflects a parallel project called ‘Desira Noroi‘, and an event series in Paris called 'Trip Tease' dedicated to opening up and exploring a broader musical spectrum.

PRINCE LANGUAGE @ The Lot Radio 06-03-2025

A longtime vinyl devotee and deep groove explorer, Olekhar is a Ukrainian-born DJ and producer now based in Toronto. Formerly known as Harris, he was a fixture of Kyiv’s club scene in the 2000s and 2010s before relocating to Canada, where he launched his own label, Afalinas Records.

His sets draw on decades of dancefloor experience, fusing '90s breaks, ambient house, and cosmic electro with nods to UK tech-funk and deep house. Recent releases include Fin Groove (2024) and Intercity EP (2025), both pressed on wax and rooted in his analog-first approach.

This mix captures Olekhar’s signature blend of nostalgic textures, forward momentum, and dolphin-coded warmth.

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Alas! We’re still alive (whatever that means) and still here (wherever you are). Returning from the far edges of the cosmos-via the duty-free shop-we bring an audible delicacy to share. People of Earth, Fefe has arrived, and you should be both honoured and excited.

An introduction stitched with the very fabric of time and space, Fefe offers a love letter that strikes straight at the heart-lifting happiness by at least 50-60%. A radiant testament to the kinder side of human nature (the part we sometimes forget), and a gentle reminder of music’s true power when made with pure intent.

Switch to airplane mode, take the long way home, and enjoy this in full.

Love from us.
