OBELISK 2022

To continue our biccy guest mix series, we present to you Nova Cheq!

It's impossible to pin down Novas style to one genre; here, explores elements of footwork, electro, juke, techno and more. Words cannot do this one justice, one has to listen to understand 🚨.

Big love to the YesTek crew for letting us release the original mix from the night so if you were there and want to listen back, now's your chance!

Also a massive thank you to @supersonicbootybangers
and @milk_presents_ for hosting the room he played in.

Biccy Guest mix 017: NOVA CHEQ (YesTek mix)

The Local Selection Mix returns with jarring mix of techno, breaks, electro & ghetto house from DDR resident, Katie Tynan. The up and coming selector has provided a bold and bouncy selection of up-tempo cuts, an abundance of playful samples and efficacious beats make for a thrilling ride.

Katie takes great influence from ghetto house legends such as DJ Deeon and DJ Godfather, the young selector finds joy in blending these with homegrown influences and old school flavours such as rave classics and hard house. Tynan’s mixing etiquette can be described as raw and rapid. Katie thrives in quick mixing and mixing off the fly, the adrenaline of fast paced and somewhat dubious mixing excites the young selector.

The Dublin based selector is still quite new to DJ’ing after only picking it up a year ago and what was once a hobby has now become an obsession and passion project. Some early mixes with DDR helped shape the selectors sound and offered a platform to showcase where she was at musically. Further mixes for Wwwirl and Laetitia gave Tynan the confidence to look for some gigs and approach DDR for a monthly slot on the station.

Katie’s my first gig came in October of 2021 in Wigwam for the opening weekend for nightclubs. The landmark gig for Tynan went down a treat and displayed her skill as DJ in a club setting.

Katie’s Local Selection Mix is a brisk and playful trip through Katie’s favourite genres. The young selector runs through techno to trance to bassy experiments with great ease. Quick transitions and genre switches make for a playful and audacious trip.

PREMIERE: RRYY - 94 BREAKS

There are many great duos that the contemporary world has been presented with. Think Beyonce and Jay Z, Bert and Ernie, Daft Punk, Sweet Female Attitude and Sunship, just to name a few. Today, Gallery Records are presenting another, powerhouse, bass and club driven duo, AK SPORTS and Mincy, two local underground legends and community leaders, combining for ‘Rave Again’ an EP to challenge any soundsystem. The duo each present an original and a corresponding remix, resulting in four percussive and bass driven numbers. 
 
Hosting the A-side is Eora/Sydney born and bred, London and LA based, Balamii radio host, DJ, producer and high energy aficionado AK SPORTS. She delivers the chonky, ‘Flex’, ready to slide directly into her globally renowned DJ sets that feature hard hitting breaks, nostalgic warehouse cuts and the darker tinges of UK inspired garage. ‘Flex’ nods to the traditional tropes of these genres glued together by a tongue-in-cheek donk bassline which sits delicately below euphoric synths and a choppy, sporadic vocal sample. It’s alternative version sees Mincy transform the track's ebb and flow to a consistent, in your face four to the floor romper, representing it as a techno-esque sweat dripping affair. 
 
Just as remix’s outro provides a breath of fresh air for the listener, slams Mincy’s original, ‘Biscuit Inception’ a manifestation of her vast experience as a dance music community member. It includes being label executive of Extra Spicy, she’s shared the stage with the likes of DJ EZ, Flava D, Preditah, Conductah. Rarely does instrumental music require a parental guidance logo, but ‘Biscuit Inception’s’ booming bass line, eerie vocal sample and 90s inspired breaks are not for the faint hearted. If late night warehouse parties have taught us anything, it's that there's always room for more euphoria and AK SPORTS’ FJAAK-esque remix exemplifies this perfectly. Time travel is technically impossible, but the remix’s glitzy piano chords, shaky distorted percussion and an impressive omnipresent kick will vividly teleport the listener back to the 90s. 
 
While the collaborative EP makes sense sonically the duo’s intrinsic connection to community action makes the record even sweeter. Both artists are vast community leaders and advocates of a new era of dance music, one deservedly reclaimed by female identifying artists and communities. Their unapologetic nature in uplifting, representing and solidifying their respective communities are well on show here, packaged as four tracks ready to take over and demand attention in any club environment. 
 
Let’s Rave Again!
