THE CALLING W/ TRACK ADVISOR -  1 SEP 22

@yassine__hammar is a committed force in the shadows of the underground. Always digging into uncharted sonic realms, trying to find patterns to break the order and create new sounds that reach new states, here he presents an exclusive set of deep house.

THE CALLING W/ TRACK ADVISOR - A MAELSTROM OF DRUMS - 27 OCT 22

@yassine__hammar tries to unveil the several faces of his eclectic collection in different soundscapes, serving different stories. It's also his way of proving that, by melting down genres into one atmosphere, you'll get to see a unique beauty within.

This episode is about the duality of Life, of birth and death - the moments that hang in between. It's also about making peace between Nature and Technology and trying to access the mystical side in this digital era. The beauty of this mix lies in time and in the transitions, hear the evolution of the story/sound to get the whole picture, he advises.

THE CALLING W/ TRACK ADVISOR: THE BIRTH OF THE ELECTRIC WIZARD - 7 DEC 22

Track Advisor: “I came to know Giorgi thanks to the holy algorithm. While exchanging words and mixes, I noticed the depth of my Georgian brother's knowledge and feelings regarding house music. Having already had an idea of how engaged their techno scene was through @dariani_g I learned that the Georgian house scene was also super spiritual and pure. Being one of the most uprising figures of his generation, I invited this master to share a selection of his incredible collection in form of a beautifully-weaved mix. Enjoy!"

THE CALLING W/ DARIANI: DANCING ON EDEN’S FLOOR - 2 FEB 23

@yassine__hammar on his guest @underwaterhasa: "I remember digging into some new sounds on SoundCloud and listening to this random mix who turned out to be Hasa’s, whose sound was super deep, immersive and eclectic. Tracks are left to breathe, left to shine among a great selection of gems. He turned out to be resident of one of Seoul's greatest clubs, Nyapi, and a pioneer of @studionamsan_, a station that invites local and international artists in a beautifully-designed space. Don't miss!”

THE CALLING W/ HASA: IMMERSIVE SEOUL HOUSE SPIRIT - 8 MAR 23

"Born at the seaside, precisely in Enoshima Island (Japan) in 1999, @daichivy rose, during the past years, to become one of the uprising figures of the mighty Japanese electronic scene. 

Following the path of some legends like DJ Harvey and Jonny Rock, he chose, long ago, to break the barriers of genres by mixing everything, from Disco to House and Techno, into some journeys of fantasy and pure ecstacy.” @yassine__hammar

THE CALLING W/ DAICHI : THE RHYTHM SURFER OF ENOSHIMA - 6 APR 23

Tunisia’s Track Advisor presents another blinder in his brilliant mix series The Calling, this time from Parisian selector Saint Cyr:

“Music has consistently guided my exploration, unveiling not only remarkable artists but also the essence of human beings. Saint Cyr stands as living evidence of this truth. Like many of my prior guests, the thread was surely a random mix on SoundCloud, transforming into an enthralling journey that fuelled my curiosity to delve deeper into the world of this Parisian selector. Saint Cyr, much like his sound, proved to be inquisitive, knowledgeable, and daring.

I've always been drawn to what I term 'musical wild cards'—artists who explore diverse realms and craft their discoveries without constraints, offering boundless musical journeys. In this episode of The Calling on Loose.fm, Saint Cyr intricately wove a profound and immersive odyssey, showcasing a selection that defies limits, featuring tracks from Mad Rey and Drexciya to Aphex Twin and Janet Jackson.

Enough talking, the real deal will be unveiled this Friday on loose.fm"

THE CALLING W/ MR O'NEIL - 20 JAN 24

"What I treasure in every true music lover, sometimes even more than music itself, is the rare willingness to give, especially in these times when individualism and greed are becoming something increasingly prevalent and even admired.

This month’s episode is dedicated to one of Tunisia’s most loved artists and mentors, Lil Jack , whose eclectic signature sound is deeply-rooted to the original spirit of House Music: playful, edgy, spiritual, futuristic and surely, groovy.

As generous and rich as our Mediterranean and African motherland, Lil Jack sets are a sort of highly-deanceable expeditions for the rarest spices - a reference to his gift of curating soulful food just like music.

Being one of Tunisia's Downtown Vibes World's pillars, his sound always leads back to the core, to House Music, for which he dedicated today's excellent mix." Track Advisor, The Calling

THE CALLING W/ LILJACK - 23 FEB 24

This month, Track Advisor brings his own record bag for once: “It's been over a year since my last mix for the loose.fm family, so now, it's time to answer my own calling!

I've crafted an eclectic and super energizing journey that truly embodies the spirit of our concept."
