Ahead of their forthcoming EP on our brand new sub-label, Phonica A.M., we asked the mysterious Voodoos and Taboos to piece together a recording for our ever-eclectic Mix Series. 

The duo first came to our attention back in 2019 when the first release in their vinyl-only series landed at the shop. Their unique, spooked-out house, tech-house, garage and breakbeat inspired sound resonated with us, and when the idea of a new, more after-hours focused label was floated we knew exactly who to get in touch with for the debut release. 

Their one hour and fifteen minute long mix is online now. Check out the full feature here! 🙌 bit.ly/phonicamix86

Phonica Mix Series 86: Voodoos and Taboos

Relocated to Berlin a couple years ago from New York, @carly-zeng is a Chinese-born DJ and an all round creative. 

Since her move she's been on the hunt for records across Europe (Germany, Belgium, Italy...) and effortlessly shares some of her finds for this mix. She exhibits her quirky and edgy style with an 80s, New Beat and EBM theme, as well as taking inspiration from her previous gig at Superluminal & Discarded Gems x Satelliet Studio @ Crack Bellmer, Berlin. It’s fun, it’s fierce, it’s everything you’d want from the 80s. 

If you've heard her previous sets you'd notice her craft for storytelling: "I enjoy uptempo, high energy sets and a nice buildup." She then confesses, "so I’m kind of a BPM junkie - I try to label a lot of my records so I can arrange them in certain parts of a set quickly."

We have an extra special show for our first podcast episode of 2022, the debut B2B of KT & Dom - recorded *live* from Whomp!

For those of you not familiar with Whomp, it's an intimate, non-profit party with a strong focus on sharing sounds from some of London's most sublime selectors. All the money raised from this particular show was sent directly to the JMB Educational Fund - a charity sponsoring children’s education in Nepal. 

I was lucky enough to be in attendance on this cold, wet night in February when Whomp took over the Carpet Shop in Peckham, a brand new venue ran by the team behind the legendary Corsica Studios. After friend-of-the-pod, Patrisha and Neb Spook warmed up the crowd nicely, KT & Dom took over to put the new Funktion-One system through its paces.

KT is a northern crate digger extraordinaire, a regular at respected London venues like The Lion and Lamb, Village Underground and The Cause. Dom is one half of Invisible Menders - partnering with Jane Fitz for their superb production and DJ alias. This was the first time KT & Dom have combined forces to unleash their unique sound of trippy tech house and trance bangers on the world. 

The pair have given me almost half of their 3 hour B2B all vinyl set and I hope you enjoy listening back as much as I did on the night!

The VSVN Podcast hits double digits with a trip to London via Leeds - introducing Karis!

I first met Karis in 2021 when she swung by the the DSVN Takeaway - the collaborative radio show I present alongside DimSumRecords, with an absolute blinder of a guest mix. Bleeped out electro, swampy UKG and hard-hitting breakbeat, I fell in love with her taste in music and told her she NEEDED to get on the VSVN pod - luckily enough she was down for it.

Karis hails from Leeds where she held a residency in one of the North of England's most famous clubs - Mint, rubbing shoulders with some of the world's best DJs. After growing a reputation as one her Leeds' finest selectors, Karis made the bold move over lockdown to pack her record bag, drive down the M1 and relocate to London. Since the clubs reopened, Karis has quickly begun establishing herself as a favourite amongst local promoters like U.K Hun with slamming sets in venues like Lion & Lamb.

Handle this podcast with caution, we at VSVN are not liable for any damage caused whilst skanking out.

G.Gee opens up her toolbox of tunes for the latest episode of the VSVN Podcast! 

Living in London, G.Gee is one of the brains and builders behind Turn The Screw - a London & Leeds based underground party series she runs alongside Jordan Frost. The pair started their party in post-pandemic 2021 to create a space for a community of like-minded ravers who share a passion for good music and good parties. They've since welcomed heavyweight party-starters like Reeshy, Youandewan and Felon5 to headline their shows.

For this episode of the pod, G.Gee provides just over an hour of dubbed out diggers-delight lusciousness from start to finish. It's like a warm hug on a brisk autumn evening, wrapped up in the most cosy track transitions and I'm super excited to share it with you :)

Multisexual Mix #8 Vlada

One the many treasures of the UK underground, Jane Fitz has long given her life to music and the sharing of all the many gems that she finds on her travels. And travel she does. Any selector centric festival, event or club night and there is a high chance that Jane has either played there, or is due to take her place on the stage. While her own musical output is sparse what she does share with the world is uniquely Jane Fitz, full of soul, meaning and backed by many years of experience.

Introducing Brammers, a DJ putting York on the map.

I first met Brammers when he booked me to play in 2022 alongside T.Jacques in his hometown and we instantly connected. Our kid is one of the brains behind Shangri La, a York-based crew passionate about bringing proper electronic music to the city they call home. So far their parties have seen the likes of top selectors like Harry Wills, Felon5 and Reeshy on headline duties. 

I'm proud to present to you his mix for the VSVN Podcast - an hour and a half of the freshest breakbeat, tech house and electro hand-picked by one of the most passionate diggers I know. Do yourself a flavour and give it a listen.
