The latest instalment of our mix series comes from the DJ, booker and club/record store boss Ouissam (@ouissamhk). After stints in China and Hong Kong running a booking agency, festival (Equation) and labels like Homesick and Fragrant Harbour, in 2016 Ouissam moved to Hanoi, Vietnam, to set up the club Savage (@savagehanoi). Now in its fifth year - and at a new venue in the ex-Embassy of Angola in Hanoi's Tay Ho district - Savage has established itself as one of the region's most progressive clubs in terms of both music programming and the diverse crowd it attracts. Since mid 2020 it has also been home to a record store, Pond Records.

Ouissam's mix for us shows off his appreciation for all things italo, synth, boogie and house, mixing cuts from contemporary labels like Public Possession with classics from UBQ Project and others. The set is a lesson in how to build a joyful energy, speaking to his years of experience as a resident DJ in his own club and on the road in places like Panoramabar (Berlin), Folklor (Lausanne), .TAG (Chengdu) and Honcho Campout (Pennsylvania).

In our Q&A he discusses the contribution of Savage and its queer night Snug to the Hanoi scene over the past 5 years, the challenges of running nights and a record store during the pandemic, and his work as a DJ exploring different sonic territories.

Carpet Music: Mix Series 008 w/ Ouissam

A subjective selection of some of my Cologne faves from the 90s and very early 00s.
If you ask why is label X or artist Y not in here.... There is just way too much to include in a 2 hours session and this is just a tip of an iceberg, really.
Might do a 2nd part time allowing, might not :)
Anyway i hope you enjoy my little trip along the rhine and down memory lane as much as i did!

Craigie Knowes is a record label which has amassed a reputation for furious club cuts purpose built for the dancefloor, all with a smile and the shake of a hand. Since 2015 the label has released a prolific array of music from the likes of Dj Overdose, Deep Space Orchestra, Natureboy Gold, Textasy and more. Beyond this they have also released two stellar compilations in support of the charity War Child of which the likes of Legowelt, Shanti Celeste, Move D and Yoshinori Hayashi all supported and featured.
