This whole mix really hits the spot. Like nothing I have heard in a long time. Thank you

this is such a treasure thank you for pouring your heart into this DJ set and all the nuanced transitions

such a treat to hear all this wonderful music in one continuous mix. It feels v in keeping with Arthur Russell's own way of working

Let us think about Keith Mac Iver aka DJ Twitch if

RIP Twitch, you legend. Thank you for the music. Gone too soon. A cliche but true :(

On May 25th 2024, to accompany the launch of his Arthur Russell book "Travels Over Feeling" Richard King put together an event at London's Barbican celebrating Arthur's life with an all star musical cast recreating and reimagining his music.

I was thrilled to be invited to play a DJ set in the foyer afterwards. I have been an Arthur Russell devotee for 30 years and decided to play an all Arthur Russell DJ set*. The atmosphere was very special with lots of love transmitting back and forth from the DJ booth to the dancefloor. I really felt a freedom to slowly build it up playing so many of my favourite AR tracks and it was one of my very favourite DJ gis of 2024 so far.


*Full disclosure - there was an additional 30 minutes finale of this set that didn't record where I played non Arthur Russell, disco / disco adjacent records.

For ONOMIX 013 we are extremely psyched to present a mix from Tokyo based selector / wizard Gold 43. 

A solid fixture of the Tokyo underground scene for the better part of a decade now, Gold 43 cut his teeth working at the esteemed Face Records in Shibuya, where he would have first pick of the wax coming through the door. Building up an arsenal of 90's rave rarities and house gems that define his truly unique style. 

Inspired by the scene and the DJs around him he began spinning his tunes around town, eventually kicking off the party series COMBO at Illas bar in Shimokitazawa, with friend and fellow 90's house nut Jima. A club night where the two of them, plus some special guests, could spin records true to their own style. 

"This mix was totally made with the idea of playing my favourite dance music. I selected some of my records that I have that are unique and I like! 🤟" - Gold 43

After knowing Daisuke for a couple years now we are delighted to be releasing this mix. Such a sick DJ with a dope style, and a total legend too! 

We hope you enjoy! 🔉

RA.1000 launches with Theo Parrish, live at fabric: a vanishingly rare club mix from the king of deep crates and impossible transitions.

There are DJ sets and then there are Theo sets. No matter how many times you've caught him in action, every time still feels like the first. Running hot, levels smoking, isolator working over time. You think you know dance music? Think again.

Parrish's debut on the RA Podcast is a milestone for the series, one we've sought for over 15 years. So it was only right that Theo led off our 1000th celebrations. Recorded live at fabric last December as part of RA's party with the London club for their 25th anniversary, this three-hour segment documents the crescendo of his eight-hour marathon. 

The Detroit legend doesn't release mixes often, and when he does, they're usually studio recordings: think NTS shows, his 100% Detroit edition of DJ-Kicks or classic tapes Body (1997) and Methods of Movement (2000). A capture of the Sound Signature boss on the dancefloor is hard to come by.

Sure, there's galvanising build-ups and crowd-pleasers, but laced throughout a Parrish beatdown are rarities designed to shock the system. In a business dominated by marketing, the vinyl master towers above thanks to a relentless hunger for lustrous melodies, moods and textures of all stripes, which he and he alone can fold into an inspiring and exhilarating joyride.

On RA.1000, blissful reggae precedes new wave disco; '80s R&B morphs into synthy techno; bleepy Chicago jack makes way for a poignant vocal ballad. It's Theo through and through. Once again, he proves that anything and everything is possible with the right records.

Mór Mix 002 is now live!
 
Taking the reins for the second edition are our co-founders and resident chuggers, Dar & Holten. They met a few years ago and immediately bonded over the love of the slower, weirder side of things, a mutual appreciation shared by Feargal got us all together and the rest is history.  

The lads sat down and recorded this one on the fly a few months ago, the only focus was to share some of the tunes they’ve both been feeling lately. The mix features labels and artists such as Optimo Music, Witness Protection Programme, Andrew Weatherall, Manfredas, Sound Metaphors and many more that have helped to inform and shape their musical tastes. Stick this one on the headphones and turn it up!

welcome back to our collaboration with denmark’s kune festival where we will be sharing the sets and stories from their fifth edition earlier this year - taking a deeper dive into the scenes, sounds and style of the festival. 

for the second edition we’re putting the spotlight on århus tastemaker c.k who played twice during the festival and for this takeover we’re broadcasting his beautiful nighttime journey at the space stage.

a renowned producer and dj, known for delivering timeless & classy house music that has resulted in a recognisable ‘århus sound’ and making the city one of the vibrant when it comes to grassroots underground music. a man with many hats, c.k runs the prs record label, the vinyl distribution outlet safe distribution, the self-released safe radio output where c.k dives deeper into his record collection to show the full breadth of his influences and music that he’s loving at the moment (the most recent show was over 5 hours!) and has garnered a cult following as well as releasing tracks under various monikers (including his work with 2 bit crew and as part of the regelbau collective). a complete dedication to his craft and music as a whole, as you’ll discover when reading through the interview below, noting music is his main source of inspiration, “it comes in all forms”.

Our next mix comes from Montreal’s enigmatic DJ Frog. Dusty loops and crushed grooves are the highlight of this Doo Records mainstay. Her selections and productions flutter between the minimalist zones of house and dubby techno. It takes in a whole host of unreleased material from Cheeks, Hashman DJ and sometime studio collaborator SnP 500 and stays resolutely buried in swampy sonics and swirling dub undercurrents. Subtlety is key to how moods are built up, then fade away. There are no big moments, just a slow teasing of tension that grows ever more irresistible.

Dekmantel Mix 498 - DJ Frog

This project was born out of a late-night, "toilet philosophy" discussion in a nightclub with two friends active in the tech house scene. We were reflecting on boring, disposable club music.
The EP was generated by AI as a raw, quick-fire response, but equal time was spent on the discussion as for making the actual music. It challenges the idea that musical legacy must be painstakingly produced to be serious. This is a testament to ideas over sterile production value.

This is a plea to the scene: Don't treat genuine emotions like waste.
