Detroit might be synonymous with techno, but it also has a rich house tradition. And Rick Wade—FKA Big Daddy Rick—is one of Detroit house's key players. Along with the likes of Keith Worthy, Theo Parrish and the late Mike Huckaby (who Wade had a lifelong friendship and friendly rivalry with), he created a hybrid sound that is both techno and house, effortlessly soulful, sculpted and glowing—and Midwest to the core. As Tajh Morris said in a retrospective review of one of his classic records, "growing up in Buchanan, Michigan, meant that Wade was much closer to Chicago than he was to Detroit."

Many of Wade's best records were released on Harmonie Park, his era-defining label that also featured plenty of work from Huckaby. Those EPs still sound fresh and timeless today, qualities that extend to Wade's RA Podcast, which features 90 minutes of smooth-as-butter house old and new. Over the years he's kept the flame burning for the smouldering sounds of Detroit house, working in sounds from younger producers like Folamour along the way. Enjoy listening to a master at work.

House of Rekids Mix 02 is here with the inimitable @manpower-1 at the controls. 

We have to agree with Resident Advisor who referred to Man Power’s musical leaning as ‘intergalactic house’. Whether he’s going full Balearic, disco or dropping pure house and techno, what he does is consistently spacey. When he’s not putting out music via his own Me Me Me, Permanent Vacation, Correspondant or ESP Institute, he’s putting on DIY parties in social clubs, writing symphonies for renowned cultural venues or paying it forward via numerous community-driven projects. 

Ahead of a Man Power project on Rekids (to be announced soon), we’re delighted to have him deliver a superb mix for the second House of Rekids Mix Show.

I Love Acid w/ Jon Dasilva (*Manchester) - 28-Mar-24

The whole recording from myself and Mike's Easter Sunday throw down in Newcastle's premier Rave Boozer. Ambient through to some classic Detroit Techno. All vinyl, from myself and with a few bits I've never played before.

Thanks to Mike, for digging some fine music out and joining me. Always an education and thanks to Team Tanners, for allowing us to play what we do and for the fine hospitality

Enjoy!

Longhaul 032 - London Modular Alliance

Ralph Lawson should need no introduction as it would be impossible to list all that he has achieved in such a short space but here's a whistle stop tour anyway. 

Having cut his teeth as resident DJ at back to basics, even playing the first record in the club, before going onto become musical director and help the club to win multiple awards. Ralph has gone on to perform across the globe in countless famous venues too long to list but including The Hacienda, Sub Club, fabric, The Loft Barcelona, Space & DC10. 

Ralph also founded 20/20 Vision Recordings, a label as relevant now as it was when founded back in 1995 that has released music from an eclectic range of artists as musically diverse as Crazy P, Maya Jane Coles, Christian Loffler, Carl Finlow and Voigtmann over 400 releases. There is something very incredibly special about that in our eyes, with multiple releases spanning the years still never leaving the bags of us here at W.A.P.

When you take a step back and look at Ralph’s history and musical knowledge as a DJ, giving this mix a spin is a no brainer. The man quite simply loves music and that is so very evident in the unique and fresh energy he brings to each & every set. 

We are blessed & honoured to have Ralph kick off our new series with a journey into the brain courtesy of new mycelium networks. From a slow chuggy start the mix builds into mind expanding acid house while being nailed to the floor by cabinet shaking bass along the way. This is full frequency mixing to be enjoyed on a road trip…

For the Sixth episode of There Is No Planet Earth Stories, I'm joined by guest DJ Garth representing stories from San Francisco.  We discuss a range of topics including his formative clubbing experiences in the English Raregroove & House music scenes ,  the early 90's San Francisco rave scene, and the origins and evolution  of rave institution: Wicked. 

"First of the Wicked crew to call San Francisco home, Garth has
spent the past three decades fanning the flames of conscious hell-
raising in California.

His sound is a unique fusion of Acid House and Psyche Disco.
He has produced more than 60 records mostly on his own
labels Grayhound, Wicked and Golden Goose and remixed
everyone from Strafe, The Units, Tribe Called Quest, Faithless,
Perry Farrell, Yabby You and Adam Freeland.


Bringing UK sound system culture to San Francisco in 1991,
Wicked’s lawless full moon beach parties ushered in an era of
rave hysteria that ripped through the west coast and spread into
the heartland. Their packed club nights showcased the cream of
early House music luminaries including first ever west coast
appearances of Harvey, Francois K, Joe Claussel and many
others. For years Garth and crew toured the U.S. in a
customized 1947 Greyhound bus with imported Turbosound
system. Garth was first to set up renegade sound at Burning
Man and Reggae on the River festivals.


In 2016 Time Out NY placed Garth and Wicked crew in the Top
10 Best House DJs of all time alongside Frankie Knuckles, Ron
Hardy, Masters at Work and Tony Humphries.
Garth stays true to the original art form playing marathon vinyl
sets at clubs and festivals around the world. His monthly For
The Record internet broadcast keeps him in shape. He is also
an accomplished TV and film actor."
