Mixes I Josh Caffé

Self-dubbed freek and underground queer icon Josh Caffé peddles a raw, rough and ready approach to house and techno.

Best known as being the frontman for Paranoid London, Josh's sultry and commanding vocals and powerful stage presence is a core part of what makes the analogue acid and techno outfit tick. He's not stopped there, lending his vocals to releases for Posthuman on Lobster Theremin, alongside Batty Bass founder Hannah Holland and with Lupe on Twirl, to name but a few, but of course, it was only a matter of time before his solo EP would see the light of day.

BLACK MAGIK DAWN PT.1 was released on his own Night Sheen Records in 2018 and, though the label has taken a hiatus, he's since been fuelling his energy into his Love Child imprint, a charity-focused label platforming LGBTQIA+ artists that's an extension of his long-running party of the same name.

More recently, he's been in the studio collaborating on production with Paranoid London member Quinn, on what has formed his latest solo release, According To Jacqueline, a debut single for Erol Alkan's Phantasy imprint.

When he's not on the mic or in the studio, he's channeling the same gritty and jacking sounds that influence his productions into his DJ sets, one of which we're sharing with you today. His Ransom Note mix transports you to a dark and sweaty club; eyes closed, feet stepping, hips gyrating — this is music for the body.

Alexander Nut is an expert curator. He first proved that as the only experimental hip hop DJ on London’s Rinse FM with a show that was a cornerstone of the station’s early years. Alongside that, he has made his own Eglo Records into a future facing outlet that puts out soul, jazz, house, techno and everything in between, and core artists like Fatima, Floating Points and Funkineven have emerged and remained loyal to it as a result. His own DJing now takes him across the world on an ever busier schedule, and on his travels he never stops digging. 

This podcast is proof of that as it freewheels through myriad different musical spheres. From breezy afro to photo house via spangled bass tracks and summery groovers, it is full of twists and turns and mixes and blends that few other DJs would even attempt. A lot is crammed into a busy hour, and along the way you will go up, down and round and round. It’s the sort of selection that is infused with the same sense of subtle spirituality that colours all that Nut does, and for that reason leaves a truly lasting impression.
