CS Podcast 151: Luca Lozano & Omega III

For Viscera 140, our close friend Sarahtonin joins the series with a live recording from Corsica Studios, captured in May 2025. Expect trippy acid and rolling grooves for a late night dancefloor!

"Sarahtonin, as her name suggests, makes you feel good. With a knack for finding mood-lifting tracks that make people want to dance, she has a well-deserved reputation for filling floors.

She’s been listening to and mentally cataloguing music all her life and has developed both a broad taste and an encyclopaedic knowledge which allows her to play across time and genre to craft the best vibe for any situation – whether that’s Wednesday afternoon radio on Do!! You!!! alongside Charlie Bones, the legendary Low Life parties of Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton, dark smokey clubs in the small hours, or sweaty festival tents on summer afternoons.

Her unshazamable DjHistory mystery mix demonstrates the depth of her collection, which spans rare house and disco cuts, driving chuggy groovers, soul with sexy vocals, acid, electronica, techno, reggae and UKG.

Sarah’s weekly radio show on Do!! You!!! has a dedicated following around the world and inspires chatroom comments like “Goooooosebumpssss”, “I’m out of ‘woi’” and “gonna learn to make a bot that just posts ‘chune’ every time Sarah starts a new track”. She’s hosted guests including Richard Sen, Scarlett O’Malley, Chris Coco, Running Hot and Rosie Ama. As well as her regular show, she contributes guest mixes to stations including NTS, Refuge Worldwide, Soho Radio, Mutant Radio and Voices. And she’s made a Chill Out Tent mix for Apple Music.

A Low Life resident since 2023, Sarah delivers funky sets to faithfuls and newcomers at London institution Corsica Studios, injecting fresh energy into this long-running and much loved party. In 2024, she graced the celebrated Gala festival, filling the affectionately dubbed Wizard’s Hat with love, smiles, cheers and tears. Other notable festival performances include Glastonbury, Love International, Watching Trees and Wildwood. 

Always full of fun, always with a cheeky grin. Get your dose. It’s like a hug, with tunes."

Enjoy!

Magic Carpet Ride w/ Chez De Milo: 28th October '25

As a DJ, music curator, collector and radio host, Istanbul’s Zozo has a unique approach to create and alter musical moods for various occasions with a distinctive yet hard to pin down sound. She gets her kicks from seeing long-forgotten and criminally under-appreciated music experience a new lease of life. Peppering mixes with a vast range of influences varying from pulsing techno to lysergic oddities and traditional sounds of her native Turkey, a Zozo gig almost always materializes as a symbiosis of forward-facing electronics, contemporary dance music and carefully picked gems from the past she grew up on.

Following the motto ‘life is hard but music is good’ from an early age, she has a seasoned character and deep understanding of the dynamics of the dance floor, with which she communicates with empathy. That has kept her busy on the weekends and she managed to bring her versatile taste to iconic dance floors as Panorama Bar, Contact Tokyo, De School, Ankali Prague, Robert Johnson or Salon des Amateurs. She is also a regular in high-rated festivals such as Berlin Atonal, Primavera Sound, Waking Life, Lente Kabinet, Flow Festival, Strange Sounds From Beyond, Dekmantel and its Selectors offshoot to name a few.

Part of the Lyon based label & dj crew Macadam Mambo and resident of Berlin institution Sameheads, Zozo nowadays operates as a resident DJ and musical advisor for Tavern Istanbul and crowning her interest in music and art with her multidisciplinary platform; AFOM INT. (A friend of mine International), that brings together like minded friends, in different fields such as music, art, design and publishing.

This is the first recording of me entering a new decade and it happens to be at one of my favorite parties: Buka in Milan. Over three hours of mixed intensity and emotions exploring all the fine nuances of Trance under a disco ball with my back to the dancefloor and the crowd by my side... Thanks to Stefano, Alessia, Enrico and the rest of the team for putting on such a great party and to all the dancers that made it what it was, looking forward to the next one!

Eli Verveine at Dekmantel Selectors 2025

Three hours of deep underground house music from a couple of Naarm's extended blend bosses.

@jackhnelson & @billusmoon

Q. What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. Sam: would be amiss not to say deepness – hard to really say what that means, though. Music played deep into the party, everyone on molly, the sound system is the one from Labyrinth, and it’s in Yarra Bend. 

A. Jack: Yeah much the same as Sam, we share a mutual love for deepness albeit in a slightly different way. I hope it will be a bit of an all hours mix for cooking, eating, driving or for the hours after etc.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these songs that resonate with you so much?

A. Sam: Many resonate, but the Baby Ford track toward the beginning sums up the whole deepness-being-difficult-to-describe thing, for me at least. David Alvarado does that to me as well – he features a fair bit here. 

A. Jack: there have been many tunes I would've loved to include - but without much defined planning we got to this mix one afternoon. Bit of a mish mash of different deepish tunes from over the years, moving around home base which is good old house music. Nothing too serious.

Q. You’ve both been involved in facilitating a myriad of great underground parties in Melbourne over the last decade from outdoor raves to basement club nights, Jack, tell us about your latest endeavour Reasons and how that fits into the music community focussed party ethos?

A. Jack: Reasons came about as a bit of an evolution from just running parties, toward something that connects and platforms the people around me and incorporates music, food and art.. After spending time overseas, I felt a strong pull to bridge those worlds, and to bring some of those ideas we encountered abroad back home.  

Q. I know you’ve both been working hard on various studio projects both solo and collaboratively, tell us about the latest endeavours, and what sounds are you enjoying exploring whilst working together?

A. Sam: Making music together has always come naturally, finishing tracks less so. Plans mostly go out the window once we start, but I feel like we’ve always converged on a distinct feeling without having to explicitly voice. I like exploring all sounds with Neil, but I guess we’ve always tended to steer toward some kind of 90s nostalgia. The final track in the mix is a useful example.

A. Jack: We’re both always making music in some form, sometimes with more focus than others, at least for me. We’ve always got a few bits in the works I guess (including the last track in the mix), but as Sam said, finishing things together doesn't always happen... Lately, I’ve been trying to be a bit more deliberate with what I am making. Definitely a few releases to come in the next 6 months, as well as a new non-dance music project.

QLF (Que Lo-Fi)

The spinning wheel rotated fiercely within the machine. The metallic glow of buzzing metal whizzed furiously casting vibrations across the empty room. Inside the clothes turned upon rotation, sweet like a delicious fabric they would smell upon their delivery to the outer world. For now they simply floated gracefully between the soapy bubbles, dancing amidst the splash of water and the fuzz of electricity. 

Too Smooth Christ first appeared on Ville Nouvelle's debut release over a year ago. Now he returns with 'LD Fantasy Tracks' which is due for release on vinyl at the tail end of March.
