He may dub himself as an "amateur (but enthusiastic) disc jockey and producer", but we happen to think that London's Will Hofbauer is selling himself a little short. 

He's been dipping his toes in all corners of the music industry. While day-to-day you can find him slinging out promos as part of PR agency Dispersion, his personal endeavours range from running his own label to producing for other top notch imprints and holding both radio and club residencies at Balamii and Co-Select respecively. 

At the helm of Third Place Records, the umbrella he also hosts his monthly Balamii show under, Will has welcomed artists who uphold a similar passion for nature-tinged, rhythm-driven sounds, including the likes of NC4K boss Stones Taro, Ranga and Sangre Voss, who's returned to the label for several outings. Of course Will's also put out his own material on the imprint, as well as contributing releases to Homage, Control Freak Recordings and Out Of Sorts.

We invited him on board for this week's Shine A Light On mix which sees him channeling his passion for drums and organic sounds.

Illusions w/ Swoose - August 2022

art:cast °134 | Farren Laen

NYC-based producer, DJ and label-head Farren Laen delivers the next installment of the art:cast series or a conglomeration of (own) productions paired with pieces that complement and enhance the set's tone and vibe. Hitting the dark dance spot the New Yorker builds up his set like typical old red brick buildings in the city: stone after stone resulting in a memory lane of the future. Just like in his own music Farren Laen comes up with a vibe that is short of becoming possessive luring one into its atmospheric vortex as the space-out sequences almost have a meditative touch, while latter is left behind shortly before dancers/ listeners drift away in their very own thought bubbles and Farren presses the "House kick-drum" to continue his cat-and-mouse game, a game he seemingly not only plays well but has perfected. Otherwise it's hard to explain how someone can come up with such a beauty of sound-waves within only 67 minutes.

DJ City's top 5 to do on a Tuesday:

Pick up some groceries 
Turn on the radio. 

The weekend will be here soon!

DJs, producers and good pals Warren Cummings and Joe Danvers-McCabe formed Kassian in 2019 after clicking at a party in Peckham. The two had been doing their own thing for some time - Warren under the moniker Warren Xclnce and Joe as Danvers - but after finding a musical symbiosis with one another, they decided to join forces and have since received a ton of praise in the short time they've been a duo.

Their first releases explored the realms of house music, on releases for Heist, Phonica Records and Shall Not Fade, but since they've veered into the world of techno and UK bass.

The launch of their label, Faux Poly, was a catalyst for the new direction. Starting as a space for their own releases, they're now welcoming new artists to the label, the first being London-based DJ Jay Carder and her debut EP Entropy, which we premiered a track from recently. When they're not running the label, gigging or readying their own releases,  Joe and Warren run their own East London-based studio, 38east Studios, which offers a fully equipped space for producers to come and make music.

Following a healthy string of gigs across the UK and Europe, including debuts at Panorama Bar, HOR and Radio Radio, and ahead of a jam-packed release schedule next year, Kassian treat us to a mix of bass heavy grooves, melodic techno and hypnotic broken rhythms.

Sabrina @ The Lot Radio 03-31-2023

Metropolitan Soul Museum are proud to host on their next Kulture Galerie show on Milan's Radio Raheem a Detroit and Global legend: John Beltran. His early work on Carl Craig's seminal Retroactive imprint sculpted a Detroit classic with hints of Derrick May, world music, and Jazz vibrations. He followed up in 1996 on Peacefrog with arguably one of the most sought after techno classics "Ten Days of Blue," which is still John's most successfully licensed music with songs like "Collage of Dreams" being used in the Miramax film Human Traffic and the HBO hit Six Feet Under.  

The London based duo is a huge fan of John's music and can not wait to share what he has in store for Kulture Galerie, both as a mix series and as a label....
