As anyone who's been to a Nordic country in the summer will tell you, there's a certain magic in the temperate air that you only get from a place that is cold and dark for most of the rest of the year. That probably goes some way towards explaining how a country like Sweden produces some of the sunniest music around, whether we're talking about pop or underground dance. Since she debuted on Stockholm label Studio Barnhus in 2018, Bella Boo has been at the forefront of this sound, making clever, fun and joyous house music on records like Once Upon A Passion, where pop instincts embed into deep house grooves.

Bella Boo's RA Podcast both highlights her distinct personality and also the sound of Stockholm in full summer bloom, featuring local producers like Kornél Kovács, Axel Boman, Genius Of Time and Samo DJ. It's full of catchy basslines, hooky vocal snippets, luxurious melodies and plenty of brilliant transitions. It's kind of like listening to one of her records: a restless and kaleidoscopic approach to house, where the rhythms shift and a new earworm is always around the corner. Bella Boo has all the makings of a star, and this mix feels like another step in her impressive rise.

Fantastic run against time n pain... Life.

FANTASTIC RUN AGAINST TIME N PAIN (ORIGINAL MIX)

Roughly ten years ago—if we pretend the peak pandemic year-and-a-half doesn't count—Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets first came together as Detroit Swindle, before changing their name to Dam Swindle towards the end of 2020. The original name was meant as a tribute to one of their favorite musical legacies, but recognizing that it didn't come across how they meant it, the duo changed their name to pay homage to their other favourite place: Amsterdam. Dales and Smeets have become core parts of the Amsterdam house scene in their time, especially with their excellent Heist Recordings label, which they started back in 2013 (hey, now *that's* literally ten years ago). 

It's easy to understand why the duo have become so popular. In person and onstage, they're goofy, funny guys, the kind of people you might describe as the life of the party. And musically, they're massively appealing, marrying a European tech house strut to deeper and more soulful inspirations, a preoccupation reflected in Heist's impressive artist roster: Ge-Ology, Demuir, Byron The Aquarius, Matthew Herbert and more. 

Their RA Podcast comes at a time of reflection and change, looking back on the decade-plus history of both act and label and plotting their new album, which they say will expand their horizons even more. The mix is eclectic but smooth, pulling together tracks from the likes of Omar-S, Lil Silva, Ruf Dug and Genius Of Time (with one of last year's most underrated tracks). It's always a treat to hear consummate club DJs in a more relaxed mode, and this one's no exception.

Canadian DJ and producer Regular Fantasy takes us through a whirlwind dance floor romance in the latest mix for Off-Kilter. Deep, melodic and uplifting groovy house and techno flirting with whispers of r&b vocals and emotive pads. Glistening and memorable, blissful and true. We’re in love now, are you too?

Regularfantasy is a Canadian producer, and DJ based out of Montreal, Quebec. They are one-half of Plush Management Inc. and the label Plush Records, alongside D. Tiffany. Since their 2012 debut release of "Condobed", Regularfantasy, they’ve since released a melange of dancefloor-inspired music, often including their own vocals. They have spent the last decade shaping their sound, with heavy influences of '90s vocal house, slamming pianos and funky basslines. Their productions carry a distinct DIY ethos, merging nostalgia with dance floor romance, and occasionally infusing a trippy, mellow feel. In 2022, they showcased their refined DJ sensibility and production style with the EP release of "New Glow" on Specials Worldwide. 

Rising from artist-run spaces across Canada and beyond, as both a collaborator and a solo artist, Regularfantasy has remained a strong advocate for other female and non-binary DJs and producers. Within that time they’ve made ongoing contributions to labels including Mood Hut, Heart to Heart, Pear, Banoffee Pies, Sisters of Sounds, Total Stasis, Soothsayer, Specials Worldwide, and Plush Records. Among other projects, they are now preparing for the upcoming launch of their own label, Behave.

New York trio Purelink give us an exclusive peek of what they have planned for the upcoming summer live music season in this weekend’s Sunday Mix. As the creators of Signs, one of the best ambient and dub techno albums of last year, their 80-minute mix shows off their advanced ears for soundscapes and texture, while adding on head-nodding grooves and dubby four-to-the-floor beats.

It’s as dancefloor suitable as it is Sunday sofa ready. “This new year has mostly been spent in our studio prepping new music and live set ideas,” they say. “A lot of these songs reflect the dancier side we’ve been inspired by lately. Hope to see you on a dancefloor soon.”
