Mad - MH00A

@hnrqlx is a DJ, programmer and yogi. It’s in this multidisciplinarity that he finds center, bringing together Yin and Yang. He debuted in 2006 in the small bars of Bairro Alto, Lisbon and since 2008 he has been a regular presence in clubs and festivals across the country. 

In 2018 he began his journey in Yoga Iyengar and since 2021 he has been in training to become a teacher in the future. In 2020 he was invited to join the @lux Frágil team and in 2023 he debuted his Visceral night. His sets take us through the most sumptuous jungles that dance music culture has to offer and stand out in these times marked by a constant excess of pragmatism and functionality.

With its roots in Karachi and Bangkok, Jugaar Records is a label working to shine a light on the vibrant scenes in both territories whilst casting a wide net in scooping up producers from around the world who dial in with their open minded approach to music.

So far the catalogue has been richly varied and full of hybrid, odd-ball club music that touches on sub-heavy strains of Electro, Breaks, Minimal and Bass.

Next up is Berlin based Amand - FKA She's Drunk - who returns from a 5 year production hiatus and dovetails neatly with the label's sound. JR004 is a 4-track pack of tightly wound steppers which in his words is 'a melting pot of experiments' including a collaboration with Jamaican MC Ijahbar.

'Nuna' kicks off with a stripped back but full-bodied sound that sends cleverly braided percussion skipping over a hefty UK Funky bone-structure. Smooth synths, bashy bass tones and some trippy seasoning make for a dizzying brew.

'Step In' follows up and features Kingston based, Roolings Muzik head Ijahbar. Mangled drums, warped synth tones and chattering claps form a high-energy backing for Ijahbar's flow and the result is raw, stroppy and infectious.

'Vissi' follows up with warped Electro tool. Robotic bleeps, frazzled percussion and panned melodic blobs create a sparse, impactful bridge track that'll pop out of DJ sets with memorable force.

Sam Interface then closes things up with his take on 'Step On'. Upfront and overdriven, his revision harnesses the original whilst injecting it with a certain bouncy charm that adds yet another shade to a nicely varied record.

HOUSEWAX039 - Rhythm Of Paradise - Rub A Dub EP

In this edition, we travel to Ghana, one of our favourite countries for African music. We focus on the 1970s, a very productive phase in the Ghanaian music scene, which at the time was hardly known outside Ghana. Unfortunately, the hopes of many artists for lucrative record deals from abroad were not fulfilled. The only exception is Hedzoleh Soundz, who released their debut album through their collaboration with Hugh Masekela on the American label Blue Thumb. Fortunately, many of these forgotten artists received the recognition they deserved in the wake of the Afro-Funk revival in the early 2000s.

This version is without the spoken parts, just the music.

First aired on Cashmere Radio on June 21, 2025

The Endless Tape Machine #38 - Ghana

High above the desert, where the sky spilled its secrets in stars, the brightest among them was Altair. To the villagers below, it was more than a star—it was a guardian.

Generations passed, but Altair never dimmed. Pilgrims crossed miles of sand to sit under its light and make wishes. Some claimed they saw a flicker.

On a clear night, if you stare long enough, you might see wings in the darkness. Illuminated against the dense black.

For in the sky, where time folds and dreams take flight, Altair burnt brighter than all else.

 Two Thou is the lead behind the Oraculu project – a hybrid jazz exploration with ambient undertones described as follows:

“This music was born in Berlin, matured with me through a winter in the rural Sardinia, and ended up on wax through Chicago and New York. With this record, that to me sounds in-between worlds, I want to recall that jazz and electronic music both emerged as inventions, and it seems to me they’re both suggesting us to keep inventing.”

PREMIERE: Oraculu - Altair [Division81]
