Framework co-founder SJ takes the reins for Episode 4 of Yax Invites. Have a read of his bio below, along with some words about his contribution towards the mix series:

I am a 21-year-old DJ based in Manchester UK and co-founder of Manchester based collective and podcast series, Framework. 

My first route into electronic music was around the age of 15 where I started to get in to house music, leading me to gain a strong love for Chicago and Detroit house. Around this time, I basically used to spend hours listening to music on YouTube and through these algorithms I discovered tracks such as Black Russian and all DVS1s early Klockworks releases which remain some of my favourite pieces of music, with DVS1 being my idol and main source of inspiration, and essentially opened up a whole new musical world to me.

This in turn led me deeper into the electronic music spectrum, sparking an interest in Detroit techno, resulting in me seeing artists such as Robert Hood in my mid to late teens. Ever since I have built a strong passion for techno, delving deeper and deeper into the many different facets of the genre which has resulted in my current taste, revolving particularly around deep, sci-fi and mental hypnotic techno as I see this as more than just simply music, it is something much more powerful than that and the ability of music and sonics to alter your mind states and moods on the dance floor is something I find fascinating.

I love the concept of an extended mix series as I feel that extended mixes are the best way to truly portray your sound and tell your story, as opposed to feeling the need to hammer it out from the off which is the instinct that can arise with shorter mixes. 

For this mix I aimed to tell a story, weaving in different atmospheres and textures to build tension and have different twists and turns before ending on some groovier sounds and old school Detroit classics.

Mister Willis b2b Sparkling Water Dreams - Burn the House down Vinyl Mix

Hello and welcome to episode 23. Our guest for today is @Ntogn (Entheogen). 

“An entheogen is a psychoactive substance used in a religious, shamanic, or spiritual context” This is mix is and entheogen for the mind.

-Who you look up to?- 
I look up to creative, independent and forgiving people. Those who let their passions guide their life and shine on those who dare not.

-Why techno?- 
I think it is because of the ritualistic elements in it. It is hard, repetitive and thus also a powerful tool for trance and to me it has become some sort of modern electronic shamanism. It is serious. It speaks and bends the mind.

-What is a good techno party for you?- 
Anarchy.

-How is your playing style?- 
I think my way of performing may rise some controversy among some colleagues as I prepare my sets for days. Sometimes a full week! People keep talking about feeling the vibe and choosing your tracks on the spot (which of course can be good!). But I believe in Creating a vibe and an optimal musical experience. So I choose my tracks with a lot of care and try to make it as pleasant and coherent a journey as possible. I like ranging my sets from deep to hard, dark to light and back and pick up the pace from maybe 100-110 bpm to end it in a ecstatic 135-140 beats per minute. Yin & Yang. This is an amazing experience, for me at least! Hehe. More technically I use Ableton Live for flexibility, controlled with a Ableton Push and a Allen & Heath Xone:K2 MIDI-controller. It takes a lot more preparation, but when you have everything laid out it is great! You can throw in compressors, all sorts of VST's and whatever you want on the fly and prepare loops so you can switch kicks, percussions, FX and do this kind of semi-Live thing. Truly awesome!

-How did you fall in love with the genre?- 
It has grown since I started to DJ about seven years ago. Since then I have been listening to electronic music constantly and my taste has evolved. Today I indulge myself in deep, dark, atmospheric, hypnotic, pshychedelic, ritualistic and intelligent sounding techno. Which will be the foundation of the label I will be launching sometime next year: Hypnus

Our last DSS of 2023 comes from the Belgian city of Antwerp. Yogg is known for his unique sound design, impact cuts of body-slamming techno with deep synths and sleek rhythms. He released on various labels such as Non Series, Illegal Alien Records, 30D Records, Counterchange, and others.

For DSS 079, he took a different approach, taking down the tempo and starting with some dub related tracks, building towards UK influenced sound to conclude the mix with trippy and breaky techno.

Golosissima - About:Blank Closing / Sparkling Water Dreams - 22.10.2022

Honest Work is back with the best from Berlin's underground club scene. This week we have Chris a.k.a. Sparkling Water Dreams for a solid 3 hours live on-air with host John Crosby. If you're out in the clubs in Berlin, you know Chris from his many sets at Tresor and Renate, and also from his latest EP release on Spencer Parker's Work Them Records. 

This is the first two hours of airtime, where Chris and John chat a bit about Chris' origin story + the last hour or so is a live mix from Chris, including some unreleased productions and deep house cuts.

THF Radio is a community radio broadcasting from the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin. Follow us @THFRadio. This episode of Honest Work is hosted by John Crosby (@johncrosbyprojects).

Honest Work feat. Sparkling Water Dreams // 06.05.2025

A wonderful little b2b session with Sparkling Water Dreams and John Crosby, recorded live on THF Radio.

If you are in the clubs in Berlin on a regular basis, you know Chris a.k.a. Sparkling Water Dreams. His warm-yet-powerful sets at places like Tresor, Renate, and the (since-closed, R.I.P.) Waterfloor at Watergate Club show a range and depth of house music not normally associated with the German capital. He's also a producer, holding both self-released tunes and his recent EP on Spencer Parker's Work Them Records. 

This is the last hour (and change!) of the recording, an impromptu b2b that really twists and turns and yet somehow becomes more interesting with every listen. Enjoy.
