System Olympia 231023

Jeffrey Sfire’s introduction to the underground dance scene and illegal warehouse parties of Detroit
occurred at the tender age of 15. This escape from suburba led him to some of the city’s most talented
DJs and musicians, who soon exposed him to a new culture of creative riches. Learning by example,
Sfire’s taste and skills as a DJ developed naturally and he soon began playing out at parties, clubs and
sleazy gay afterhours, usually entering covertly through back doors or with a fake ID. A move to Chicago
exposed Sfire to a whole other side of dance music history, including "Italo Disco" and genre jumping dj
styles of the Hotmix 5 radio djs. He spent afternoons digging through record store crates, meeting retired
DJs and developing his musical palette. Having held numerous club residencies, he regularly plays at
Panorama Bar and Cocktail D’amore in Berlin, The Carry Nation and Wrecked in New York, Hard French
in San Francisco, and his own party Loosen Up! In Detroit, consistently offering a finely-tuned selection of
Acid House, Italo Disco, Latin Freestyle, & 90’s NYC House. In 2013 Jeffrey and SOPHIE released the
first untitled “Sfire” record on Cocktail d'Amore Music out of Berlin which has become a cult classic. Since
then the duo has released 3 more untitled “Sfire” records. He is currently living in Detroit and is one half of
the Italo/Electro duo Looky Looky with Ian Clark released on Dark Entries records of San Francisco

Episode 58 w/Jeffrey Sfire

In Focus - Herbie Hancock

At this point, Shy One might be familiar to most music fans as one of the hosts of NTS's daily breakfast show, Soup To Nuts, where she helps listeners across the UK and Europe settle into their morning routines with an eclectic and soulful selection of dance music and downtempo. But the London artist has been around a lot longer than that, with a discography that goes back well over a decade. 

She started releasing music as a regular on Scratcha DVA's label, and it was there that she sketched out a recognizable but impressively varied approach rooted in her home base of London. On her records, Shy One sometimes feels like London incarnate, synthesizing the histories of Black British dance music—drum & bass, grime, UK funky, broken beat, jazz, you name it—into one syncretic and immensely appealing sound. But her music glows with the warmth of American deep house, too, which lends it a timeless, ageless quality that has proven immensely appealing. She furthers this mission with Private World, a party she started with Ruby Savage. The name kind of says it all: she's inviting you to her own personal space, but what awaits is a whole wide world of music and culture.

Her RA Podcast feels like a hybrid between a club DJ set and her morning show, and here, she zeroes in on a the lineage of American house music from the '90s and beyond, featuring tracks from the likes of Green Velvet, Marcellus Pittman, Roy Davis Jr., Wbeeza, Jay Daniel and more, plus a spotlight from Baltimore club king DJ Technics. It's patient and easygoing but perfect for a small dance floor (or a livingroom party), focused but stylistically diverse. It's everything we've come to expect from an artist like Shy One, who weaves stories and histories with her DJ sets, and does it effortlessly, too.

Beige @ The Lot Radio 02-26-2024

Something about playing that Sunday, after Shyboi, in the room I'm usually doing the lights for, that made me want to just bang it out. Beating the box, my inner truth, my love language. So many drum tracks, so little time... I wanted to mix the old school beat tracks I love with the, often goofy and outrageous, early hardcore from '90-'92 before the genre had distilled into hardcore jungle and DnB. And while I have some misgivings of this live set I think this mix still gives. The reviews I heard were "I was speed skating so much during ur set", "it was giving sexy", and "best yet" : )

the seventh installment in our guest mix series opens with the tinny call of a Darbuka drum over a winding 303 bassline, a perfect portrait of our guests' diasporic Detroit roots. Motown’s rising voice [@tammylakkis] takes us on a journey through her richly textured, self-contained, and nutrient dense audio universe

Tammy has an unsuspecting appearance when behind the decks, one that was on display while she played our [#RRSEASON0NE] showcase in Detroit last October. head down and nodding, she’s fixed on the waveforms and equipment in front of her. sonically however, she’s delivering Hulk-sized grooves onto the dancefloor, sending bodies into frenzied knots, tangling and untangling at her touch

over the next hour Tammy invites us to experience her Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde essence. we’re led through electro, breaks, acid, and techno, while encountering tracks by Mim Suleiman, False Persona, Dagga, and eventually landing on a jazzy grime conclusion by the emcee of emcees, Novelist

catch more of this virgo virtuoso at Movement Festival in May and keep an ear out for her contribution to the upcoming compilation by Rare Frequency Transmissions, arriving April 5th

About the mix: “Bad House” is an attempt to touch on the wide versatility that has moved me under or near the “house” umbrella with an emphasis on yummy basslines, hot percussion (especially toms), and wacky melodies.
