Live from the Adriatic 2022: Juan Ramos

Caressing your skin like a soft warm breeze, Danny Bodega hits all the sweet spots with this lovers special. Straight from the Balearic cowboy himself “ The vibe is to float on through a valentines evening with your squeeze of choice. From the dining table, to the boudoir, then out to the discos, with a few tiffs and trips to the powder room along the way, as is tradition.” Let this one run as you reach the pleasure dome.

Phonica reaches out to one of the finest names in Chicago for our 129th mix.
Starting off in the 90's playing from cassette tapes with a group of friends under the moniker ‘Chuck Brothers’ Rahaan started to build an extensive house and disco collection that by 1996 would come to define him as one of Chicago’s stand out house and disco DJs. This would of course secure him with residencies at ‘The Spot’ and one of Chicago’s best clubs ‘Buddha Lounge’. A reputation he would cement with gigs all over the globe in the proceeding years also giving him an audience to his skills in production that have seen him release records with reputable labels like Lumberjacks From Hell, Z Records, Hot Biscuit, BBE and more. For this mix the Chicago legend takes us on a trip with over an hour of deep, soulful and funky disco house. We had a brief chat with Rahaan about the mix and what he has coming up!

Theo Parrish - Body Mixtape 1997

DJ Tracksuit, began his journey on the dancefloor, a space where he sought connection, freedom, and growth which evolved to become his second home. What started as a dancer’s love for music grew into a boundless exploration, wandering through the realms of soulful sounds, unconfined by genre, yet deeply rooted in the culture and social fabric that shape it.

For nearly a decade, he has been shaping a distinct style and curating a wide collection that captures the eclectic essence of today’s dancefloors, with a focus on House, Deep House, Disco, African percussions, Afro-Caribbean grooves, Dub, Reggae & Jazz. As a DJ and promoter, he came to realize that preserving the message within the music requires more than just playing the songs. It demands embodying its essence in character and aligning with the means and processes that shape its journey from the soundsystem to the ears of the dancers.

In this vinyl only mix, recorded live at Doka, Amsterdam’s best sounding club, he goes deep into his extensive collection of Joe Claussell records. The result is a 2hr journey of deep club cuts, paying tribute to one of the greatest to ever do it.

Cock Robin - The Promise You Made (By Deejay Terry Rework)

Mario Mars aka heathenBEAT is a Chicago based DJ & creative w/ a goal of blurring genre lines within global dance rhythms while keeping focus on Dance Music’s linear history & foundational sound culture unique to Chicago’s House roots. 

Mars was born in LA, raised in St. Louis, and groomed in visits to New York. Early years involved Punk venues, Industrial music, & focus on international nightlife & arts. Taken under wing by elders in his mid/late teens his tastes evolved to include Chicagoans Larry Heard and Jersey’s Tony Humphries who he credits as the club music Godfather who turned him out. An avid record collector to this day he began familiarizing himself with spinning in early 90’s & became a known dancer in warehouse, lofts, and after hours. Around this time he was asked to curate mixes for a college station and focused on obscure international club music.  He still spins records preferably. 

Around 2012 Mars established a friendship w/ the Chicago based collective, Excursions, helmed by DJs Cordell Johnson & James Vincent. After relocating to Chicago he began hosting their wildly successful gathering rooted in Chicago but branched out in Japan, Detroit, & Atlanta. Artist like Jay Daniel, Jose Marquez, Marcellus Pittman, Antonio Ocasio, Loftsoul & countless others were guest at staple venues that include the infamous annual Detroit gathering at the Russell Bazaar Warehouse that drew thousands. 

Pivoting to individual pursuits Mars dove into the craft of DJing as nightlife closed in pandemic. Numerous mixes spurred invites to session from elders like Andres (Specter) Ordonez. These sessions inspired still ongoing gatherings that have seen Chicagodeep, Julion De'Angelo, Chicago Skyway, Noshaluv & other selectors & friends. 

A unique sound he affectionately calls heathenBEAT, Mars prefers a slow-paced, low to ground, slung & intoxicating rhythm that pushes a muddier Detroit sound meshed w/ Chicago’s deep & moody house origin. His roots in Punk often lend to sets going left into unpredictable stretches of obscure & hidden gems. heathenBEAT, which he also calls coarse or irregularity, is music, and way of presenting it, that goes against grain & norms. 

Mario Mars features on domestic & international radio, been booked as remote as Lima Peru, billed on lineups alongside Tony Humphries, Rich Medina, Specter, Damon Lamar, Jose Rico & appeared at Silver Room Block Party, Podlasie Club, Bronzeville Winery, & other esteemed spaces.
