Orbita  [@orbita-berlin],  the Berlin-based collective of DJs and promoters,  promote through their events and musical direction what they like to call “Adult Dance Music,” a concept that pushes back against instant gratification and brings a more mature sensibility to the dance floor.

For the first episode of their Pluto Radio residency, they invited Norwegian producer and DJ Henning Severud, aka @Telephones. After more than ten years in Berlin, he has become a key figure of the underground scene. Through his label, European Carryall, Henning channels a singular character: dreamy, life-affirming, and sensual, qualities deeply cherished in the balearic scene. His monthly radio show, New Massage, on Refuge Worldwide is likewise a real treat.

First hour by @aficionado_dj & @vibe_operator, second hour by @Telephones.

Mix of the Week #612: Top Technique

Slow Bangers Mixtape Vol. 1  - B

Scott Hudson — better known behind the decks as Hudson’s Choice — is one of South-London’s up and coming perceptive vinyl diggers and tastemakers. Based in the UK, he’s built his reputation through a deep love for house, disco, and worldly, soulful electronic sounds — both as a DJ and a record-collector. 
 In 2024 he delivered his debut EP, Myatts Field, on Delusions of Grandeur, co-produced with label-founder Jimpster — a release that showcased his ability to weave classic sensibilities with contemporary left-field club energy. 
This “Friends & Family” mix in the spirit of working at Phonica Records, feels like a carefully curated journey through his musical universe. You can expect flickers of deep house, nods to disco and soul, maybe a touch of dubby wanderlust — a mix that reflects his dual life as both DJ and digger, uniting records from different eras and cultures into one seamless set!

Mike Smith aka Balearic Mike is one of the world's more unsung DJ Heroes, but of late his praises seem to be getting sung well beyond his native Manchester. A long time buyer at Vinyl Exchange, Mike has always gone his own way and dug deep (a common theme here), any one who has listened to his Cosmic Alphonsus series, or his Originals comp (done with Moonboots) knows the deep water he swims in. Mike has played at Electric Chair, Horse Meat Disco, Pacha and Space in Ibiza, with me in NYC and at numerous spots worldwide. He does the Estrellas parties with Jan Hammered on the reg, he also co-runs the Fascinating Rhythms inprint with Steve Terry.

Low key, far out and on point, we are happy to have MIke join this series. For all things Mike check here: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Balearic+Mike

note: Mike's set is entirely 45's, and in solidarity - with the exception of some newer jams so is mine (about 70%). Size matters! enjoy! Our next podcast will mark 1 year for Disquestown my thanks to all who have joined on this ride, more treats in store! dk

Disques Town podcast:  Episode 12  Dennis Kane w/ Balearic Mike

The Friday night roll call was well underway. The crew had begun to assemble as they steadily anticipated the night which lay before them. Driving out into the countryside thir faces glowed with eager excitement at the thought of getting to the site. Little did their parents know that they were the dancers of the new generation and that the fields by night had become their playgrounds. On the crackly old radio an mc shouted gloriously out over the tracks, shout outs came flying in across tune after tune. The night had only just begun. 

Tristan Grace is the first to appear on a new label run by the Warehouse Project's founder Krsko. Titled 'I Walked By Night' the label draws upon his experience amongst the scene across many years. Tristan Grace delivers the grooves on 'Tune Called Shout Outs'.
