Ion Ludwig Live @ SunWaves30 - 29th April 2023

Dream - a state of abstraction; a trance.

The man, the selector that is Squish Kibosh has created a 2 hour masterpiece that, as the name suggests, allows and commands the listener to enter strangely wonderful periods of in-cognitive trance.
Squish has got the 2-hour thing spot on with the perfect amount of bang as well as a shit load of almost ambient pumpers. He allows you to drift off into the mix for periods before reintroducing himself with a bang and an air of authority.

Squish, who has been on point in the Glasgow scene for many years is part of the Void Militia and shows time and time again how he can diversify between house, techno, acid, disco and break beat - among many other genres. He just kills it.

I think anyone who listens to this mix will appreciate its content and quality and will enjoy it as much as I did.

MOTHBALL FM with DISCO AL DENTE (July 2024)

A studio-head in the true sense of the word, YokoO’s last 20 years have seen him master house music in all its deepest forms. With a prolific and impressive discography, YokoO has made his mark on noteworthy labels to date with original releases and a back-catalogue of strong remixes.

He’s turned the heads of many a label boss from Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Matthew Dekay, Lee Burridge, and MANDY, as well as racked up plays from a broad spectrum of industry reference artists. YokoO’s music has proven time and time again it can reach the record bags of the DJing elite on every continent.

His most notable projects Pachamama and Euneirophrenia anticipated the evolution behind the January ’21 release of his EP Jivanmuktih on Crosstown Rebels’ offshoot Rebellion. 2021 marked for YokoO the rebirth into a significant new chapter of his career as a producer, with a matured musical intuition charged with seductive blends of eclectic, deep, minimal, and hypnotic house grooves.

Like a mantra vibrating beat by beat, his music abides only to his deepest meditative intuition and revolves around the creation of unbound free-flowing states of creativity, echoing in stillness a deep connection to nature where every subtle detail counts for rich artistic expression and depth.

“I am committed to the Truth.” With these words, YokoO explains how he draws inspiration from his Yoga practice and the Yamas as he channels his creative energy into his label SATYA, a project that signifies the maturing into a state of unbridled surrender to the craft. With SATYA, he intends to support and represent artists who embrace creativity as a non-compromising act devoid of any expectation.

His constant evolution as a human being plays hand in hand with the authenticity of his creative process, committed to releasing unpredictable sounds that never fail to communicate, connect, and move.

Between gigs, you’ll find YokoO producing in his home-built studio in Lisbon or saluting the sun somewhere in Mexico.

ONE-81 | YokoO @ Stereobar, Montreal (30th June 2024)

Recorded live on our Satya Night June the 15th, 2024 @ Flash - Washington DC, US.

SMS022 - YokoO & Kora (La Brigade Du Groove)

A real pleasure to host one of my favourite djs in the Animix series, the ever-charming and immensely talented @playvlada, with her distinctly recognisable signature sound.

With a style deep, but somehow oozing with equal parts crunch and groove, Vlada is a master of blending her wide and eclectic old-school record collection into undulating journeys of bassy, hypnotic grooves, telling of her longstanding passion to the craft. 

The Russian born, but Berlin based mainstay balances touring with running mix series/party collective speLL in Berlin & beyond, with @vaahzer. One of my favourite parties in town :) 

Thanks again for the mix Vlada <33

Where to begin with this one? Don't say that we aren't good to you...

Surgeon & Speedy J need no introduction. However, you might not have heard of their recent collaborative project called Multiples which they are using to work together on live improvised jams. It's a chance for them to embrace the diy aesthetic once more, bouncing ideas off one another and recording the results.

The first record from the pair is called 'Two Hours Or Something'. An aptly titled release which lends a nod to the chaos and approach in the studio.

We received this mix not long off the back of being sent the record and it doesn't disappoint. It weaves and wanders between elements of IDM before emerging into the realms of Techno. The proper stuff - no hype, no pop edits. Pure Techno as it was meant to be.

Alexey Filin (DP-6) - Textura, part 18

I had the immense privilege of opening proceedings on Friday night in room 1 at Freerotation 2018. As is customary when I DJ at Freerotation, the set on the night fell victim to distortion so this recording is actually a reconstruction as faithful as I can be to how it went down. The wobbles may be different ones, but hopefully reflect the natural weave of my set. I did consider re-writing history and sending the ending in a different direction - at the end of two hours I could have gone on longer and the deadline forced my hand a little more than it should have done, but I decided to keep it pure, warts and all. Either way, it was a dream come true to feel bass frequencies of records I love blowing wind from the subs around my ankles, and I hope you enjoy it...
