L.I.E.S. Records presents an exclusive premiere mix by Ron Morelli, proudly shared first by Soul Express.

About the mix:
This was recorded live and direct from the desk in Tokyo roughly two years ago.
For me, when it comes to house music, I always look back to the masters (as many do), but specifically to the radio mixes of Farley Jackmaster Funk, Timmy Regisford, and Boyd Jarvis.

The dynamic blending of freestyle, new wave, American disco, Italo, and the experimental dance tracks of that era was innovative and represented the true genesis of what dance music is: mixing different styles and making it all make sense together while completely blowing listeners’ minds.

When I play, I hope to pull fragments from this long-forgotten era and give the crowd something they may have been missing for a long time — with modern reverence and deep respect for the days of old.

A first taste of what awaits us on November 29th at Basic.

This is Ron Morelli

Reason for It (Original Mix)

Perennial Favourite w/ Jamie Thomson & Plant43 - Radio Buena Vida 21.11.25

We first crossed paths with Juncheol on Nyapi's rooftop during the Ransom Note Asia tour.

A heavy vinyl digger and Nyapi resident, he’s carved his own path through late-night listening sessions.

His sets weave through percussive detours, raw rhythms and imperfect textures, always creating a high energy dance.

 
Through his Somewhere mix series and steady presence in the booth, Juncheol keeps Seoul’s underground plugged into a wider frequency, pulling local heads and distant artists together.

Juncheol moves at his own tempo.

Juncheol: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

This was a mix I made for a series called 'Music for Theatre Lobbies' in December 2020. It appears the original recording is no longer online, so I am sharing it here. I really like the energy of this mix, it has a lot of beautiful music I keep returning to.  The accompanying photo is of a genkan at a temple, taken in the same month the mix was made.

Longhaul 052 – London Modular Alliance

A seminal, pioneering figure in the 90s and 00s UK tech house scene, a mix from Pure Science is as bucket list as they come. With his first Australia tour over New Years approaching fast, the mysterious tech house luminary reappears from his subterranean science den with a whopping five(!!) hour live set, full of moody unreleased gems and carefully reimagined classics from his genre shaping 30+ year discography.

Q. What an incredible journey this mix is! What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for the mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. Thank you for your kind words, Myles. I was initially asked to do a couple of hours, but thought, I would do at least four, and start with a good hour of unreleased ambient / downtempo tracks that I have made, that I wouldn’t necessarily play out to a dance floor, and build up the tempo. So to answer your question, I guess I was pulling out tracks that were made at a close tempo, and gradually build up to a Deep House / Techno range. There are loads of unreleased bits, which I will be featuring on upcoming albums. I guess the vibe was to keep it deep, and not to bang it out or play too obvious, and to add a couple of surprises in there, as it is for the Melbourne Deepcast after all.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these songs that resonate with you so much?

A. I am not playing any records, CDJ’s or harmonicas on this mix.. Lol, Only Ableton Live, Korg ER1 drum machine, Roland System 100 modular (clone), Novation Nova & Evolution uc-33 midi controller.

There is one track that I have only played out once when I was in my teens, and it was written in 1989, when I was 15/16 years old. It’s called Circle, and is on the mix at around 3:43:43 mark (The hypnotic track with the organ).

Q. I know you’ve made special edits of some of your classic Pure Science records for this mix, tell us about how you like to reimagine your music from 20+ years ago, and how your sound has evolved since creating your most iconic records in the late 90s..

A. I’ve been re-recording, mixing, and mastering some of my classic releases, and preparing them for live, i.e. stripping down the parts to the basic form e.g. Kick, Snare, Hats, Claps, Toms, Congas, Percussion, Bass, Keys, Vox, etc, so I can re-arrange the tracks on the fly or break down to my drum machines / synths / recorded modular jams if I feel I want to improvise to the crowd a bit, or I can just concentrate on the blend of tracks, and the selection like a DJ would, and have complete control of the journey..

Q. We’re all very excited to see you play in Melbourne on NYD! Tell us about your hybrid live / DJ setup, is that something you’ve been refining for a while now?

A. I am very excited too, as I have been going through, my old floppy disks going back to 1987, from my old Ensoniq SQ80, as it has just come back from a service, and has had its 10-year internal battery replacement. 
I have been rediscovering tracks that I had totally forgotten about. Specifically a couple of tracks that I love, one is called Moon from 1992, and the other called Tibet from that same era. Both were made a little faster than what I would play out now, and were over 135BPM, but if you slow them down a bit, they just sound chunkier, and PHATer. x  p.s. It’s only hybrid if I DJ too, and I probably won’t have time for that. Live only on this trip. Thank you all for your time, and I hope to see you on the dance floor..

As 2025 closes, Elli arrives to Phonica’s Friends & Family mix off the back of a breakout year, one that saw her music embraced across Europe’s cosmic-disco and downtempo scenes and her live show land on iconic stages like Jæger. In conversation, she describes her world as part cinematic dreamspace, part crate-digger curiosity — a fusion that shines through this seasonal selection. Moving between ambient glow, cosmic synth voyages and warm, groove-led passages, the mix reflects the same tenderness, detail and wanderlust that shape her own productions, including the new projects and secret soundtrack she’s quietly crafting for 2026. It’s Elli at her most intimate: warm, reflective and open-hearted.
