Les Disques De La Mort founder and icon in the leftfield club experience lovers tent, is delivering the next episode in the LAYER series, an odyssey into challenging electronics and stainless taste. 

Ivan Smagghe is one of a kind. Through his three-decades-long quality control, memorable sets, creative vents, and collaborations like Smagghe & Cross, Black Strobe, and It's A Fine Line, the Frenchman has won respect among fellow DJ giants. A worldwide fan base came as no surprise. Layer 284 is a testimonial of that, and it makes you admire the patient build-up in this hour of timeless dance.

MTSGRG Radio presents: a legendary human being from Montreal, heard & seen all across the globe, one of the founders of @multiculti, THOMAS VON PARTY. 

@vonparty said:

“When asked to compose a mix inspired by / connected to a favourite car, I took a flight of fancy into my ideal driving fantasy. I’ve done my share of long-distance driving, including a 15000 km road trip across North America last summer in my Dodge Sprinter. I enjoy the focused trance of moving scenery and take pride in the sheer challenge of an epic drive, and I suppose the ultimate spiritual iteration of that experience for me would be driving a fully customized ‘Dekotora’ truck across Japan, perhaps delivering some high-grade kombu, or more in-line with my current business, with a big sound system rigged up. The aesthetics of these behemoth vehicles is totally up my alley - from the hypnotic rhythms of their lighting arrays, to the freaky patterns customary in their interiors, dekotora trucks are a perfect blend of industrial power matched with human emotion, of form and function, a passionate representation of the owner’s style that elevates the trucker to the status of zen wheel-master.

Musically, I reached into some all-time favourite techno, a good dose of Afx sprinkled with suitably class acts like Zomby, Marco Shuttle, Daft Punk, Susumu Yokota, Atom TM, Robag Wruhme, Cobblestone Jazz, DMX Krew, I:Cube and Audion, as well as Multi Culti family players like Thomass Jackson, Ground & Red Axes, plus contemporary dons like Paranoid London, Fango and more, as well as a few other bits of Japanese atmospherics to bring the whole theme home. Trippy power for the endless road.”

Red Axes have been orbiting our radar - or rather our ears have been orbiting their musical sphere - for a while now. We decided it was time to have them create a Ransom Note mix, and we even managed to slip in a few questions.

Book yourself a hotel room, get your beaver suit on and get that hot coffee brewing ready for some Lokier listening:

With a current release on Days Of Being Wild featuring fellow DJ and friend Morgan Hammer, the Mexican DJ/Producer is riding high, making the move to Barcelona to explore all that Europe has to offer. Keeping busy with upcoming EP's with labels Have A Killer Time and Nein plus a selection of remixes, mixes and compilations in the making, we'd say you'll be hearing a lot more of Lokier. 

INTERVIEW

Lokier - Shine A Light On... Ransom Note Mix

Sling & Samo are the exiting duo behind the Born Free record label which resides in Stockholm. Over the last few years the pair have been releasing a vast array of weird, wonderful, oddball music: some built for the dancefloor and some certainly not. The pair are colourful characters who don't take themselves or what they do too seriously. Samo is also well known in his own right as a producer and dj having released music for the likes of LIES, The Trilogy Tapes and Public Possession but together with Sling the pair enter a new realm of musical exploration. We asked them to record a mix for us. 

Sling & Samo DJ: The Ransom Note Mix

Leading on from last month, we’ve another slow-burning and sleazy mix coming courtesy this time of Les Yeux Orange (@les-yeux-orange)– a Parisian duo, famous for their incredibly rich YouTube channel of releases. 
These guys have had their head in the game for a while now, and have truly become pillars of the underground music scene. Dive into this mix of heady slow beats and voodoo sounds, then read their interview. We’re lucky to have ‘em!

Ace & Tate Sounds - guest mix by Les Yeux Orange

For this episode of Sascha's 'Das Zen' series he has teamed up with the other man of the moment 'Herr Wandt' or Niklas as we have endearingly gotten to know him. 

Expect the usual awesome musical selections with plenty of curve-balls, left-side-spinners, kraut-back machine jams and a big dose of zen-not-zen sonic mayhem.

Expect the unexpected. That's the philosophy Rotterdam-based DJ mad miran promotes in her DJ sets. A regular on the Dutch capital's mainstay Red Light Radio and a face behind the counter at the infamous Clone record shop, Miran has fast become one of the country's most promising DJs. 

Although she only played her first DJ set in a club a couple of years ago, she's already landed a residency at Trouw successor De School and become part of the Strange Sounds From Beyond family, seeing her name spread like wildfire and lead to a string of gigs across Europe.

We invited her to dive into her record bag for us and the result is 80 minutes of leftfield electro, raw breaks and introspective electronica. Enter into the crazy world of mad miran...

mad miran: The 'Wednesday Alternative' Mix

Amsterdam has been graced with a fearsome array of fabulous selectors and disc jockeys in recent times, the city is abuzz with experimental music and talent. 

Orpheu The Wizard has been a pivotal figure in the development of the scene, crucially helping to nurture new faces through his key role as a co founder of Redlight radio - a distinctive platform which has acted as a gateway and an open door to a new wave of music, producers and dj's. 

His own background is well versed, he's earnt his stripes and played the long game building a respectable array of musical knowledge and selective talent which he uses to entice and delight crowds across Europe and beyond. Eclectic, far reaching and multi purpose - his sets often run wild across a sprawling spectrum of sound. 

This year he will play at Love International festival, an appearance which should not be missed.

Orpheu The Wizard: The Ransom Note Mix

Step back, this is a big one. 

Across the past couple of decades there have been very few who can attest as much influence as that of Joakim, a singular producer who has been charted as an influential figure by many of the leading producers and disc jockeys in the present.

The French outsider has amassed a notorious reputation for his eclectic style as a disc jockey and producer having released music on the likes of Versatile, Kitsuné Music, Life And Death, Crosstown Rebels and beyond. As the founder behind Tigersushi Records and Crowdspacer he has been responsible for leading a new generation of talent into the dance and has played a key role in the future development of dance and electronic music. 

As an individual his own take on music is wide and vast, not one to shy away from the alternative or experimental he has done well to channel a sprawling array of style, genre and sound across his own lengthy career and in all honesty Joakim continues to surprise and intrigue with delight. 

A Dj's dj, he is a firm favourite and we welcome him as part of the series.

it's crazy to be in probably the only country in the world that is partying full on right now. i don't think i ever played this much at home. 

now weekend of 5 gigs makes you go deep into your crates and folders. this is the opening of the night at opium club on August 14 2020. lots of music here from some 4-5 years back, a territory that is somehow usually forgotten. lots of these tracks appeared in old mixes, but it felt good playing them out again. have a ride.
