If there's one thing that not even these trying times managed to hinder is the flux of creative forces that feeds the ecosystem of likeminded collectives of which we are a proud and productive part. And, one year after our lives were upended, the web of music we managed to weave with our peers throughout the globe remains as strong as ever, simply because it is made of the most universal language devised by mankind and nurtured by the passionate participation of its components. This is how we maintained a strong sense of unity with crews such as Huntlers & Palmers, one whose members we know are deeply devoted to the same musical principles and wholly invested in the same communal values as ourselves. Those are the main reasons why we are more than happy to receive someone who's been striving to accomplish the mission of recreating those delightful moments of dancing joy with the same dedication, within or without the dancefloor. Andrew Thomson, our guest for this episode personifies all of these traits, sharing with us all the same sense of mission that nurtures all of our endeavours, now as before.

Respecting pandemic strictures, Robert Johnson Club hibernates since mid-march. Its iconic view from the balcony can now be seen on the Robert Johnson homepage in real-time, as long as the club remains closed. Each SEE YOU SOON Ambient Mix has been crafted with this feature in mind—the choice of mix, day or night time, is at your discretion.

FRIDAY 19TH NOVEMBER - EASTERN BLOC, MANCHESTER - DOMENIC CAPPELLO / KRYSKO / GREG LORD 

Since Eastern Bloc moved locations and began putting on nights in their intimate but incredible space on Stevenson’s Square, Krysko & Greg Lord have been a regular fixture through the years… always playing start to finish and back to back and they have always citied these nights as some of their favourite gigs in the city. 

On Friday November 19th they return to their most beloved gig since the start of the pandemic, and keen to continue in their tradition, but with some added extra oomph to the proceedings. The legendary resident of probably the worlds greatest club, Glasgow’s Subclub, will be coming down to join them all night. Domenic Cappello has been at the helm of the longest running weekly house night on the planet, Subculture, for nearly 30 years, and to boot, is undoubtedly one of the worlds finest DJs. 

Krysko says… “Eastern Bloc is an absolute home from home from us, they let us do what we want and it truly feels like a residency of sorts. Myself and Greg have been resident DJs in Manchester for over 20 years and Eastern Bloc has been a part of out lives since we moved here. The nights we do are wild, they really are. The people are amazing, the system is everything you would want, and the crowd are up for anything. As we have always done this night on our own, our return for 2021 we wanted to bring someone special down, and Domenic is very, very special. He’s been an absolute hero to me since I can remember, a DJ of impeccable taste and talent - and I’m happy to say a great friend. For our first guest it was a no brainer.”

These sessions have usually been free entry, but with an extended licence for this event 9-3am, the £5 cash entry will all go to the venue to help with the costs of the late opening. Get there early, you’ll enjoy it more.

Krysko MIND Mix

Ali Tillett is a DJ, label manager and agency founder. He has worked tirelessly behind the scenes for many years helping to assist in the careers of some of the most pivotal dj's and artists of this generation.

However, he is also equally talented in his own right and he also knows more than a thing or two about records. This much is clear from the evolution of his record label Re:Warm - a reissue focussed imprint which has unearthed some forgotten gems from far and wide, breathing life into music which might never have resurfaced otherwise.

Re:Warm has released material by Margaret Wakeley, Winston Neale, The Hurricanes, Lucky Mereki and many more.

The recent release of a sprawling compilation which featured music from the likes of Ame, Bobby Lee and Richard Norris is perhaps the most influential offering from the label to date.

This mix showcases the versatility of Ali as a DJ and the variable excellence his label has become accustomed for.

⚠️ SYSTEM WARNING: DARKNESS DETECTED. ⚠️

The portal shifts. We’re moving from the battle arena to the shadows. 🌑

"Unravel" is the emotional core of the REANIMATED EP. We took the tragedy and beauty of the Tokyo Ghoul anthem and rebuilt it for the deep night.

This is a three-way fusion: 🌊 Amapiano for the emotional chords and log drums. 🥁 Afro House for the driving heartbeat. ⚙️ Afro Tech for the industrial, futuristic atmosphere.

Just like Kaneki, this track transforms as it plays. It’s melancholic, it’s heavy, and it hits right in the chest. "Oshiete, oshiete..." — tell me, can you handle the shift? 蜈蚣

The REANIMATED EP continues to bridge the gap between Anime culture and Underground sound.

Presented by: Cartoonmania 
Genre: Amapiano / Afro House / Afro Tech Fusion

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.
