Recording of Din Daa Daa's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"It was a privilege to be invited to play one of the opening sets at Selectors. Being able to share music in a beautiful setting with an open-minded eager crowd felt truly liberating after these months of lockdowns and curfews. My stage was the newly formed Magnolia chill-out area. With four hours to explore, I began my set blending in with the sound of the cicadas, before eventually kicking the cushions out of the way as an invitation to dance. The highlight was seeing so many friendly faces, old and new. Shout out to Daniel, Devon, Yunis, Fee, Femke, William, Momoyo, Mika, Mina, Richii, Takako, Richard the Fig Man, and the lovely folk from Dekmantel: Vinnie, Joost, and Bob."

We asked our friend and NTS GOAT Bianca Lexis to put together a mix for the Winter Solstice. 

"I wanted to put together intimate songs that remind me of going back home and spending time with loved ones gathered around our favorite comfort foods and a cozy fire," says Bianca. "Hopefully it gives the listener a similar feeling of nostalgic warmth :)"

"We made this mix foryou with some previously unpublished material. Cocaine Sex was originally recorded & included, Sub Aqua Overdrive Dub for Rhythm King Records(Mute Records dance subsidiary) in 87. Later reissued on Mute Records. Cocaine Sex has spawned many children over the years through various recordings & I've included some of the many including Dragonbass Soundsystem & Renegade Soundmachine to exemplify its broad impact & bookended with a vocal & instrumental versions of our most recently released recording A.D.I.D.A.S... for the Hua Hua, Compilation album."

Step forth the mighty Renegade Soundwave with all the wit, cheek, and chaos that defined RSW, Asquith dips deep into their archives, pulling out tracks from the seminal Cocaine Sex sessions, Rhythm King’s dancefloor dubs, and RSW’s back catalogue, offering a true taste of a time when dub, industrial, and raw attitude collided. It’s a celebration of that unmistakable renegade spirit that never quite fit into any box – and wouldn’t have wanted to.

ELECTRIC FLING - Bond St. Sessions

https://codekrecords.bandcamp.com/album/electric-fling-vol-4
 
The tracks for this release were recorded at a Friends loft at 7 Bond Street in Manhattan/New York City right above Celeb hairstylist April Barton’s Suite 303 & Eyewear designer Selima Optique.
 
This Loft on Bond Street has been a creative hangout since the 1980’s. Many Artist, Musicians & Film Makers from the likes of Keith Haring, Madonna, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Larry Clark, Bret Easton Ellis, Russell Simmons, De La Soul, & the Beastie Boys gathered and created in this Loft.
 
In the earliest days Composer Steven Bray produced Madonna's 'Get into the Groove' in the Loft when our friend (let’s call him DVD) let Steve secretly move in all his midi studio gear so he could compose a Dance hit alone and undistracted all while under the pressure of a serious deadline. 

The Loft on Bond is right up the street from where David Mancuso’s Legendary Loft had been. This was also the same location our friend DVD opened up one of the first & best video rental stores in New York called Time Shift Video back in 1983.
 
Time Shift Video was located on 659 Broadway & Bond Street in NoHo (short for North of Houston Street) in Manhattan. It was buzzing every night around 6pm, you just had to hang out there to meet and talk to people like Painter #KennySharf, conceptual artist #JosephKosuth, filmmaker #AmosPoe, Director #JonathanDemme, stylist #Maripol, Make-up artist #HelenQuitery, actor #VincentGallo, photographer #MikeRock or Randy from the #VillagePeople and countless others, they all went there to rent & return VHS video tapes every evening including Keith Haring who was member and redesigned the new logo for the store in 1987. 

The owner of Time Shift Video (DVD) was my first connection into the booming downtown cultural art scene in June of 1984, i had just arrived the month before in NYC from Switzerland, i couldn't speak a word of english but i showed him a list of cult movies that i wanted to see and he was surprised to see some kid with an obscure taste in movies and said, "that's a very strange list!" he invite me to shop's basement studio where he had a VHS editing suite and a few backdrops, lights and video cameras they used to record their weekly manhattan cable TV show with is friends called "Time Shift's Cable TV Show" (Channel D - Monday at 5.30pm and Fridays at 1:00am). My job was to do set designs and help around the studio and learn english! plus i got to use the video editing equipment for free during off hours and edit all my favourite movie scene together like a mood board, which helped me a few years later to become an art director for TV commercials and music videos.

The Bond Street Sessions represent the synergy & consequence of NYC’s creative class and we wanted to capture that. Sasa from In Flagranti stayed at the loft in November 2024 and collaborated with current tenant Michael Hamer, recording him playing the few instruments in the loft: A Vintage Mini Moog Model D, Korg Kronos, Ibanez GBR 100 Bass Guitar & a 1970’s Premiere Drum Kit with a beat up Sabian B8 14 inch Rock Hi-hat.

The Bond St. Sessions hearken back to the raw sounds of the DIY New Blank City scene that flourished here in the shadows of CBGB’s & Mancuso’s loft.
