TOASTCAST

Energetic, innovative and versatile, are just a few words you can choose to describe the prolific sound Lis Sarroca has been propelling in recent years, continuously drawing influences from her half Spanish, half Mexican background, and sprinkling in flavours from her current city of residence, Barcelona. 

Whether tuning in to one of her genre melding DJ sets around Europe and beyond, her storytelling online mixes for the likes of HÖR Berlin and Rinse FM, or whether you find yourself absorbing her tight and emphatic productions - you will undoubtedly feel the Sarroca effect.

Labels that have succumbed to the sounds of the Barcelona based artist of late are Hot Haus Recs, the famous Mobilee Records, and Aterral, to name just a few from her catalogue. During the forthcoming period Lis has signed and sealed releases with Simplexia, and simultaneously a carefully created six track vinyl package on the fantastic Shall Not Fade imprint entitled 'No Wait’, in which Sarroca mixes classy 90s house rhythms with standout melodies.. Despite dabbling in variations on dance music, stripped back disco to punchy tech house rhythms, this record is accomplished and consistent, coming together to deliver memories of sweaty summer club nights.

2021 will also mark the inauguration of Lis’ own label Maai Records, as she continues to craft the foundations of whatis set to become an exciting brand for slick and forward thinking club orientated sounds from herself, friends, and fellow artists, all of whom are accelerating in the same direction as herself. Adding to this year Chiwax/Rawax is
welcoming Lis with a 4 track record, coming in September.

“This milestone chapter of my musical journey will allow me to invent something personal, developing theidentity of not just my sound, but also the tribe I am building around me”

With a tribalistic percussion launch into a warm and silky bassline, Supply Shuttle spins the dice on the deep house edges through linear but meticulous patterns of synth simplicity. 

The scarcity of snares puts the track just enough into the dance-floor realm but still exquisite enough for sun-drenched coast places especially with that subtle rhodes washing over the faint 303 shots in the background. Notal pulled a smooth move here further erasing the faint border between the two genres. And yes, sometimes the border gets pushed more into one over the other. 

Such is the case with Airlock Nation, clearly showing this imbalance in the most pleasurable way. With a straightforward shake onset floating on a solid rhythm throughout the ride, the track leans more on the floor side covering the early night with subtle and warm darkness step by step. The midnight glow emitting from the melodies is beautifully cocooned into deep sway smudged by ritual bongo hits. The track exports a sentiment of nostalgia in a positive and warm way while cleverly pushing the vibe over the mentioned border into a night dance. 

A Walk Thru The 20th continues this sway but implements a synth carrier into the foreground further developing the club feel. And this is where Notal shines truly because even in this kind of atmosphere he almost unnoticeably lays the track on perfectly fitting tribal shoulders stamping the core of the track with earth-grounding charisma. Both audio worlds, one audio shine. 

And still, on the other side of the playfield, Nature Of Offences is grounded heavily in slow and throbbing kicks paralleled with equally heavy claps and constant interchange of beautiful pads, strings and percussions. Although the track is stirred with a filtered 303 bassline, the overall feel points into a deep and seductive zone. 

It flows subtly through different areas of analogue and synthetic forms spewing a late 90s warm-up feel. Well rounded release from Aleqs Notal!

The TOASCAST is back! We've decided to get our butts into gear and upgrade our toaster, discovering a new and improved model which will toast one mix a month for you to enjoy. Sounds like delicious cooked bread! 

Meet Ben Kennedy, who brings us the recipe for Volume 31. He is from Dublin, Ireland and has been living in Australia for 3 years. Ben has always had a huge passion for music. It started off by playing the guitar and drums as a kid and later transitioned into electronic music where the urge to learn how to DJ began. 

Ben has been DJ’ing for just under a year now and has had the pleasure of playing at Circus, Killing Time and a few other bars and clubs on the Southside of Naarm / Melbourne. 

Over the last year he has built up a fairly hefty vinyl collection with his main goal moving forward to play records all around Melbourne and share his love for house music.

His mix for us is a tasty one, perfectly toasted and garnished with spreads like house, breakbeat, acid and even some trancey elements thrown into the mix. Now that's some good TOAST!

Volume 33 of the TOASTCAST is brought to you by long time friend of the crew, JUGGY. 

Chris (aka JUGGY) has probably been to every single one of our events - always supporting the crew, and never missing a beat on the dance floor. After being a longtime punter, Chris took to learning the art of mixing during lockdown, and along came JUGGY. 

JUGGY has found his musical niche in the realms of deep, minimal and micro house. He loves hunting down these tracks from producers around the globe, recently linking up with a handful of local legends who share a similar passion for these deep and groovy sounds. 

His mix is expertly crafted and ebbs between micro and deep house, with a little tangent into breaks. That's enough from us though, we'll let the music do the rest of the talking. Enjoy! 🍞 xx
