MARICAS n.82 - Fais Le Beau

Ploy - 24 May 2025

We’re excited to share the full recording of @djdissolve playing on the @canyonvibration main stage!

dj dissolve is 4th generation Portlander, Producer, DJ, and cofounder of the artist collective Soul House. Inspired by the hypnotic and connective power of electronic music, he uses dance, DJing and production as tools for community healing and social activism.

While he is a big proponent of supporting the local scene, his taste for the underground was heavily shaped by a 2019 academic semester spent abroad studying in Frankfurt, Germany, where he was finally able to grasp the global influence of Chicago house and Detroit techno.

He is inspired by music’s power to heal and connect, and he draws inspiration from the diverse sounds, dances, and spirits that have been emitted from the Willamette Valley for millennia, he views his time on earth as a continuation of this ancient tradition and through every set he seeks to honor the selectors, dancers, and spirit guides who have come before him.

Whether he's behind the mixing board, putting on a record, or cueing up with CDJs, dj dissolve's singular goal remains unchanged: to make his call to the dance floor irresistible.

Echo Garden - October 2025 Mix

Leonce LIVE at Nocturnal Emissions 10/18/25 in Brooklyn, New York. Leonce made his Nocturnal debut with a peak-hour eruption that hit the room sweaty and super-charged. Merging his signature urban emotional grit with a bold instinct to experiment, he delivered a set that throbbed with soul and heat. Leonce steered us through a high-concept, high-intensity journey that felt both deeply bodily and unmistakably his.

A defining voice in American club music, LEONCE bridges the continuum of Black art with genre-blurring, club-shaking production. Born in New Orleans and based in Atlanta, he’s shaped his own uncompromising sonic world—rooted in American urban sound, experimental electronica, and the boundary-pushing ethos he championed as co-founder of Club Morph and Morph Tracks. His work has been supported by Honey Dijon, Fred again.., DJ Holographic, Pangaea, Midland, and more, while recent years have seen landmark moments: a global tour, a remix of “Underground & Black,” collaborations with KG, and supporting Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour. With his acclaimed debut album System of Objects, releases on LuckyMe, Nervous, and fabric Originals, plus high-profile sets from Elsewhere to Glastonbury, Leonce continues to operate at the vanguard of contemporary club and techno. Check out more of LEONCE at @djleoatl

NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS is a trippy mix-mash of house, techno and trance with Latin / tribal influence; a distorted, sound-bending, mind-fuck that will leave you suspended with the vibrations of the night. bit.ly/nocturnalnyc for next events and more info. Live set mastered by @djjohnnyi

Shanti Celeste is a vibe. She’s got that magic lightness of touch even when things are getting Jacques Cousteau deep or panel beating heavy. This makes her the perfect candidate for the Sound of Love International 3, channelling the spirit of both those after-hours sessions and the more frivolous daytime boat parties. This is serious music for serious music heads but, after all, everyone is still on holiday. It’s linear and cohesive but plays with the emotions - carnivalesque fun, psychedelic flow-states, heads-down rhythm trax, playful skipping garage, and more abstract moments. Deep joy to deep space and back, often in the space of 3 or 4 well-selected records.

There’s a deep musical and personal connection to the festival - as she says of her first time playing at the Beach Bar, “there’s a heavy Bristol crew there and it all feels easy and nice. It was just good vibes all round”. And she does make it sound easy too, which belies a DJ with some very serious skills and an ear for a killer tune that others might well overlook. And it’s this that makes the 3rd instalment of the Sound of Love International such a joy - a welcome panacea to all of us suffering from the Croatian blues this year.

To which end, we get a cheeky exclusive collaboration between Shanti and her sister-in-arms Saoirse in the shape of ‘Solid Mass’. Persian’s uniquely British paean to the post-rave Sunrise ‘Morning Sun’, cavernous dub runnings outta the Bokeh camp from Seekers International. These are the lift- off tunes, setting the mind-state for the journey ahead.

Things tighten up with cult underground hero Lucas Rodenbush under his E.B.E alias giving us the taught, grooving, dubby tech-house and Gideon Jackson’s ‘Taj Mahal’, crisp, spatial, mystical and criminally slept-on. We go deeper into the night with Perpetual’s Awakenings’, one of those records that is so much more than the sum of its parts. And who knew that Mark Seven was such a dab hand with the dank machine funk? Check 1998’s ‘Crank’ for the skinny. By the time Paco Pack’s rubberised ghetto house reimagining bounces into play it’s GAME OVER.

The final side leaves us with the soft landing - Cari Lekebusch ‘Output 2’ is both pacey and drifting and Pauline Anna Strom’s ‘In-Flight Suspension’ does what it says, whips away the drums and leaves us floating in space. Will we ever touch down?

To overuse a phrase, this compilation arrives in strange times but is a glorious reminder of what brought us all together and will again. The music and dancing under the stars. See you in 2021.
