Bside Incoming: Detroit in Effect

Well, well, well… this episode is a special one… we’re very pleased to mark the century with a legend.

It’s Detroit in Effect for our 100th Episode!

D.I.E have been electro royalty since the 90s, thriving in a city moulded by music: from local radio stations and musical communities, to Motown, Gospel and Parliament’s Funk, through to the pioneering hip-hop infused electronic music of the modern era. 
 
There’s a lot you could say about Detroit in Effect, but, their tracks speak for themselves:

So we’re flying you all out to Motor City to meet DJ Maaco from Detroit’s finest electro collective. We’re gonna take a little look into his record bag and pick out some of his all time favourite Bsides. While the first half reads like a Funky Hall of Fame, with Carl Carlton, Rick James and George Clinton, the second half tells us a little more about his D.I.E influences with electro legends like Cybotron, Egyptian Lover and Paul Hardcastle.

Bside Incoming: Detroit in Effect

Four Heads were live for the full 120 - they were at the controls for the first 60 before their guest Regularfantasy jumped on for a 100% productions, remixes and collaborations mix. Chuggy house and synth-driven electro for the full 2.

"Since I was a little kid I have found a safe space in music," said ISAbella (@bellasalmonella) on her Instagram recently. Nowadays, the Colombian DJ uses music to create those same safe spaces for other people. She is a resident at Barcelona's influential Macarena club, where she runs the Mistress night which aims to empower women and give visibility to the underground. She is also co-founder of MARICAS, a queer night that has hosted parties in Barcelona, Paris and Amsterdam and spawned a vinyl-only label that launched in 2020 with a thrilling EP of house, breaks and electro from ISAbella herself. 

All that features in this week's podcast, which is a smooth and serene trip to the deepest recesses of the dance floor. It finds ISAbella laying down bumping drums and punchy rhythms throughout, but always with a sense of warmth and positivity. There are heady cosmic melodies, nostalgic chords and sci-fi motifs among the way. At times things feel futuristic, at others, there is a sense of retro familiarity, but it adds up to a mix as stylish as it is effortless.

Our next mix series contributor needs little introduction. A third of Hessle Audio, alongside Ben UFO and Pearson Sound, Pangaea has been an essential fixture of the electronic music scene for over a decade. Whether through releases on Hessle’s influential imprint, or as a distinctive and celebrated DJ in his own right - Pangaea is undoubtedly a huge player in shaping the characteristic UK club sound.

Similarly as influential a character at Dimensions, Pangaea has appeared at every single festival since our inception in 2012. Over the years, Hessle’s presence has grown to be a crucial part of the Dimensions experience -  through their boat parties to memorable Moat takeovers. Eight years on, we’re delighted to present this sublime hour-long mix for our series, loaded with percussive, bass-driven heaters destined for the dancefloor...(or the Moat).
