Book yourself a hotel room, get your beaver suit on and get that hot coffee brewing ready for some Lokier listening:

With a current release on Days Of Being Wild featuring fellow DJ and friend Morgan Hammer, the Mexican DJ/Producer is riding high, making the move to Barcelona to explore all that Europe has to offer. Keeping busy with upcoming EP's with labels Have A Killer Time and Nein plus a selection of remixes, mixes and compilations in the making, we'd say you'll be hearing a lot more of Lokier. 

INTERVIEW

Lokier - Shine A Light On... Ransom Note Mix

Sling & Samo are the exiting duo behind the Born Free record label which resides in Stockholm. Over the last few years the pair have been releasing a vast array of weird, wonderful, oddball music: some built for the dancefloor and some certainly not. The pair are colourful characters who don't take themselves or what they do too seriously. Samo is also well known in his own right as a producer and dj having released music for the likes of LIES, The Trilogy Tapes and Public Possession but together with Sling the pair enter a new realm of musical exploration. We asked them to record a mix for us.

The Anjunadeep Edition 233 with Enamour

Expect the unexpected. That's the philosophy Rotterdam-based DJ mad miran promotes in her DJ sets. A regular on the Dutch capital's mainstay Red Light Radio and a face behind the counter at the infamous Clone record shop, Miran has fast become one of the country's most promising DJs. 

Although she only played her first DJ set in a club a couple of years ago, she's already landed a residency at Trouw successor De School and become part of the Strange Sounds From Beyond family, seeing her name spread like wildfire and lead to a string of gigs across Europe.

We invited her to dive into her record bag for us and the result is 80 minutes of leftfield electro, raw breaks and introspective electronica. Enter into the crazy world of mad miran...

mad miran: The 'Wednesday Alternative' Mix

Amsterdam has been graced with a fearsome array of fabulous selectors and disc jockeys in recent times, the city is abuzz with experimental music and talent. 

Orpheu The Wizard has been a pivotal figure in the development of the scene, crucially helping to nurture new faces through his key role as a co founder of Redlight radio - a distinctive platform which has acted as a gateway and an open door to a new wave of music, producers and dj's. 

His own background is well versed, he's earnt his stripes and played the long game building a respectable array of musical knowledge and selective talent which he uses to entice and delight crowds across Europe and beyond. Eclectic, far reaching and multi purpose - his sets often run wild across a sprawling spectrum of sound. 

This year he will play at Love International festival, an appearance which should not be missed.

Orpheu The Wizard: The Ransom Note Mix

Step back, this is a big one. 

Across the past couple of decades there have been very few who can attest as much influence as that of Joakim, a singular producer who has been charted as an influential figure by many of the leading producers and disc jockeys in the present.

The French outsider has amassed a notorious reputation for his eclectic style as a disc jockey and producer having released music on the likes of Versatile, Kitsuné Music, Life And Death, Crosstown Rebels and beyond. As the founder behind Tigersushi Records and Crowdspacer he has been responsible for leading a new generation of talent into the dance and has played a key role in the future development of dance and electronic music. 

As an individual his own take on music is wide and vast, not one to shy away from the alternative or experimental he has done well to channel a sprawling array of style, genre and sound across his own lengthy career and in all honesty Joakim continues to surprise and intrigue with delight. 

A Dj's dj, he is a firm favourite and we welcome him as part of the series.

OECUS Podcast 212 // LARS HUISMANN

Through his musical pursuits Rotterdam-based DJ and producer Najel Monteiro is exploring the African rhythms that soundtracked his youth, but approached through a contemporary electronic lens.

Whilst these influences are present in much of Monteiro's music, like his inspirations that came before him - principally Detroit techno pioneers Jeff Mills and Robert Hood - his mission is to use his music as a vehicle to “challenge the status-quo”, channeling this into authentic and forward-thinking electronics.

With several releases under his belt, landing on the likes of DNA REC, Forte Techno, Induxtriall, Motech Records and most recently on Carista’s Modern Intimacy compilation, we expect it won’t be long before we’re hearing a lot more of Monteiro’s name.

Ahead of the release of Modern Intimacy, we invited him to take care of this week's Shine A Light On mix. So lock in and get yourself aquainted...

Najel Monteiro: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Istanbul and Berlin-based producer, DJ and label boss Noema brings a sprinkling of the spiritual, the psychedelic and the down right magical to his musical explorations.

His dynamic DJ sets blend dubbed-out disco with enchanting strains of house music, sounds that continue on his own productions which have been released via The Magic Movement, a label he co-runs alongside Beju and Circus Varghese.

He welcomes us into a new week with his Pacific Poems mix, a spiritual ride through folk rock and psychedelic singer songwriter cuts, recorded during a sunset Bonjuk Bay beach in South Turkey. Let those worries float away for just a moment and remember, there's only one more week of work until Christmas.

A pure product of Rotterdam’s evergreen underground scene, Rotterdam Electronix main operator Lenson has been pushing some of the most intriguing big-room grooves for the past five years with relentless commitment. Taking over this week’s instalment, our local hardware fetishist draws a vinyl-only delight of a two-hour set, deftly threading his way across jagged techno valleys, Styx-like rivers of acid and further EBM-friendly, industrial-infused deltas of hardline rave sound that’ll have your teeth chattering in excitement. Ruff and gritty as we like.

PD010 // Various Artists II

Regresamos con ESPECTRO y esta vez hacemos nuevamente conexión con Nueva York para presentar a Auspex, DJ y productor que se ha venido consolidando como una figura fundamental de la vibrante escena queer neoyorquina. Ya sea con sus regulares apariciones en eventos insignia de la ciudad como Unter, The Black Hole y The Bunker, o en clubes como Elsewhere, The Good Room y Basement, donde tiene una residencia con su evento Dominion, Auspex ha llevado constantemente a estos lugares su sonido de techno e industrial acelerado y vertiginoso. Con esta intensa sesión de 140-150 BPM, busca proveer el tipo de catarsis que muchos están anhelando al estar aislados por todo este tiempo.
