Ransom Note Line Out

No. 2 in our Live recordings series on R$N comes from the Rush Hour founder Antal.

For R$N, Rush Hour has been a benchmark store, label and distribution network for quite some time now. Running this community with a close group of friends, the label has re-issued some incredible long-forgotten classics and on point new releases whilst the shop stocks records bought on crate digging trips around the world... but you already knew that.
A hugely versatile DJ in his own right Antal can weave together house and techno or Afro and disco just as ably.  DJing all over the world since the nineties he digs deep into many musical forms away from the dance.

Check live record from Disco Volante. 2 hours of greatness.

Ransom Note Line Out : Vol #4: Mayashiba Live @ Techno Breakfast

Coming to us via the ears of the excellent Mr Richard Norris, record producer, multi-­instrumentalist and DJ, Martin Dubka is a man of many competing musical hats. With a back catalogue scattered with different genres and unexpected projects, it’s hard for us to get our heads around the idea that the producer has finally decided to settle on a singular moniker, DUBKA.

Striving for a unique approach to instrument-driven electronica, DUBKA enlisted his parents to help design a portable version of his studio, which he now transports around the globe in a tailor­made suitcase. This then is a live recording of one of these instrument driven sets of Martin's. Get it in your ears.

Some of it here: 

For those that have been living under a rock, can you give us a few details about yourself? 

Who are you? 

Martin Dubka.

Where are you from? 

London via Cumbria.

When did you first decide that you wanted to produce your own music? What spurred this on?

When I started out playing bass, my first amp was a hi-fi, so I've pretty much been recording music as long as I've been playing it.  I guess the real turning point was my mate putting a cracked copy of Acid on my dad's PC.  No, actually it was recording in Paris with Cazals.  Now I think about it, it's probably just always been a very natural part of making music for me.  They're pretty much the same thing in my mind.

You were previously in Cazals, signed to Kitsune, played on Daft Punk’s Alive 97 tour and now release records Vito Delcua’s label. Would we be right in assuming there’s a strong Gaelic/French connection?  

Yeah, I guess there is but it's not a conscious thing.  I do really love being in France though.  And I like a lot of French music and food.  Maybe that comes across in my music somehow.

Ransom Note Line Out #5: Dubka Live

Something a bit different for a Friday and a first in our Line Out series, in that we're presenting a whole (half) evening's worth of an event. 
For this episode we're over in Japan at Some Song Teachers in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo from earlier in the year where Reviveher went head to head for a marathon night-into-morning-into-midday stretch.
This is "dancing behind closed doors only"


Ransom Note Line Out #8: Albert Kohein Live @ Some Song Teacher

For Viscera 136, Limsum takes control.

"While the Philippines' professional world knows him as Atty. Jeric Lim, Manila’s local nightlife and music scene has known him longer as Limsum. Since starting out as a DJ in 2015, he has commandeered the decks of some of the city’s best clubs and parties to deliver electric sets that avid partygoers won’t forget. In his goal to unite generations on the dance floor, he sticks to his unique digs of progressive house, '90s techno, house, italo disco, and balearic to pump boundless energy into the dance floor. His signature style is a testament to his drive to expand musical horizons whenever he’s behind the decks. He’s played renowned venues and festivals across Asia including Organik Festival, Mihn, Savage, The Observatory, and Unmute, and is just as committed to building the scene at home. As a co-founder of Ikigai Radio, Manila Community Radio, Danza Organika, and presently 333, Limsum continues to champion community, discovery, and pure dance floor connection.”

In the words of Limsum:

"This mix is a reflection of who I am behind the decks. It's a blend of tracks that speak to my taste, my mood, and the kind of energy I aim to bring to every set. It’s not about trends, just tracks that feel true to me.

Hope you like the mix!"

Kick back and enjoy!

Outta Limits Radio Show 10th OCT 2025

A trio of hypnotic, shapeshifting grooves from Thomass Jackson that blur the lines between party and paranormal. Unpredictable yet always danceable.

Transcend into orbit with Uritorco Times. (Probably) an ode to Argentina’s most mystical peak, UFO synthesisers flash and bleep around a wonky bassline. The result is equal parts mystic ritual and late night mischief.

Sly yet crunchy Push Comes To Shove rides a killer bassline over off kilter percussion. Sleazy mechanical funk that teeters, entranced between tension and release.

Sonic Witchcraft ensues in Junk Be Gone as the shadowy yet playful bassline twists like smoke around the acid melody summoning rhythm from strangeness.

Junk Be Gone gets the Felix Dickinson treatment for the EP’s remix delivering an extra long rework that stays respectfully true to the original in all the right ways. Live acid bass envelops the original bassline whilst ever intensifying synth solos build to an Eastern flavoured crescendo.

Releases November 21, 2025

Credits: Thomass Jackson for the music, Felix Dickinson on remix duties, James Savage for the masters, Edward Tuckwell on artwork and to Jessica Lau on graphic design.

Roaming Course w/ Simon Popp (17/10/25)

Rosie Ama takes us into the weekend with a blend of old and new left field club tracks from the likes of River Yarra, Cowboy Rhythmbox, Myles J Paralysis, Zillas On Acid and more.

Melodic Odds w/ Rosie Ama: 17th October '25

In the deep silence of an old house, water began to speak.

It started as a whisper—one drop from the kitchen tap, falling into a steel sink with a hollow plink. Then another. And another. There was no rush, no urgency. Just rhythm. Timeless. Patient.

This was the systematic drip, the noise which would echo through the chamber all night long.

It had been raining for days. The roof, patched but never properly fixed, had finally surrendered.

Kulture Galerie are back with a new release from the highly regarded New York based producer Alien D. This one is a bit more detailed, structured and refined than some of his previous which has often focussed a little more so on the looser, dustier fringes of house music. This time things get expansive.

PREMIERE: Alien D - Drip System [Kulture Galerie]

DC Promo Tracks: Aroma Von Troisdorf "Fog Frog Green"

Will You, the Bristol-based producer, DJ, and founder of Oleeva Records, consistently captures our attention with his releases. We know he has been developing this particular project for some time, demonstrating patience by allowing it to breathe and returning with fresh perspectives and ideas—a dedication that is clearly reflected in the final output. The album arrives at a perfect moment for introspection, whether you're enjoying a rainy, cosy evening at home, listening to the crackle of leaves underfoot, or venturing onto a smoky dancefloor.

This 13-track album, 'Part of the Picture', covers a significant amount of ground, fully matching Will’s vision. It perfectly aligned with the period for me personally as I was preparing for multiple sets at our annual Delayed getaway in upstate New York. Stylistically it was exactly what I needed: options to travel different paths at different times of the day, using them for everything from gently warming up the dance floor—with tunnels of light shining through the windows—to providing a thoughtful lullaby for dancers on Sunday, when humans became at one with the sofa after many many hours moving their feet.

"Turbo Trip" by name, and a turbo trip it is. This track is squelchy, transcendent, and strikes that sweet spot between deep ambient house and techno. It’s dancefloor-focused - a trip, but with some oomph and turbo (still soft). Hi-hats arrive and immediately pick up the energy. As club season is well and truly in full swing, this is a number that will fill the room with warmth, taking things up a gear while retaining that soft demeanour Will sprinkles over every piece he produces.

'Part of the Picture' is released on October 24th
