20 years ago, it was pretty much the dawn of the internet for me, I got my first email adress ( that i still use ) and slowly figured out how to order records via GEMM and perhaps an early EBAY. I have no idea how I ended up finding Million Dollar Disco and BringTheHeat but I did, and thats how I met Zernell, Rahaan, Boogie Nite, Sean Souds, Zaf, LoveOnTheRun and Al Kent of course. 
I wanna say Million Dollar Disco was incredibly sophisticated with articles and mixes and a message board. Even then the man in question had this unsatisfyable obsession with everything disco, strings and horns. I remember his Disco Demands  CD comps that later transitioned into epic releases on BBE, a crazy resource of deep disco and uptempo soul.
Later in when I moved to Berlin we've invited him to play our party LEGACY and even though the turn out wasn't great in 2005, he's played an amazing set. Of course. He leaves very little to chance and always brings the craziest edits of the craziest songs.
Later, we did another party when I had moved to Amsterdam. With more people and more Disco. And two of his edits even made it onto a Lumberjacks 12". 
Since then he's edited, produced, compiled, organized and endless amount of music and parties. 
A stubborn, akward, funny scottish trailblazer who's never betrayed his purest of love for Disco, so much so he's certainly in a league of his own.

Enjoy this mix and get familiar with one of the great Disco DJ's of our time!

Much has changed since we last heard from George Issakidis. In the nine years that have passed since the release of his debut solo album, Karezza, the world has become a darker, more chaotic place, with a global pandemic, a rise in right-wing authoritarianism, war in Ukraine and the worsening climate crisis contributing to an impending sense of doom. Those who follow the ancient teachings of Hinduism may cite this as evidence of the imminent end of the Kali Yuga, the fourth and final part of the yuga cycle – a ‘dark age’ filled with war, conflict, and declining spirituality.

It’s the Kali Yuga, and particularly Issakidis’s own efforts to forge a path through these turbulent times via daily yoga study and practice, that provided the inspiration behind his latest project. To be shared with the public over a series of albums, Navigating The Kali Yuga takes his music in a myriad of mesmerising, otherworldly and thought-provoking new directions, balancing oblique instrumental commentary on 21st century society with snapshots of his own intense, blissful and life-changing experiences through yoga – and in particular his own kundalini awakening, an ecstatic experience radiating from the base of the spine that lasted for months.

The first thing listeners will note is that it is a very different musical journey to those Issakidis has travelled in the past. Initially associated with techno thanks to his 1990s work – initially as part of the Micronauts, and then with Speedy J – Issakidis gently moved away from his club roots on Karezza, even if the album’s buzzing and hallucinatory electronic concoctions still glanced furtively towards the dancefloor.

Navigating The Kali Yuga Volume One features a series of electronic soundscapes that are variously deeply psychedelic, disturbingly discordant, effortlessly ethereal and unusually picturesque. Issakidis created them over a number of years at his home studio in Vancouver, utilising an extended process of hardware manipulation, improvisation and editing. His use of a dizzyingly long list of analogue and modular synthesisers – including many rare and custom-built pieces – helps to give the album’s seven tracks an unearthly, timeless and on occasions disconcertingly unsettling feel.

At first heady and intoxicating (see the tipsy melodies, cascading motifs and Radiophonic Workshop pulses of ‘Ourania’), then tribalistic and intensely psychedelic (‘Sa Caroca’, with its echoing notes and reverb-doused half-rhythm, and the undeniably freaky ‘Apana’), Navigating The Kali Yuga Volume 1 provides a slowly shifting soundtrack that gently edges towards a more hopeful conclusion.

There are hints of this bright new dawn on ‘Slow Ecstasy’, whose alien-sounding electronics are buzzing with enraptured joy, but it’s on the album’s two longest tracks that the picture becomes clearer and Issakidis’s vision more blissful. This slow-motion transformation begins with ‘Deer Horns (The Upper Triangle)’, a 12-minute ambient excursion in which prolonged notes and tones seemingly drift above icy, glacial chords and immersive sonic textures. Issakidis then transports us to blissful, weightless place on 15-minute closing cut ‘Le Jardin Et Son Jardinier’, a musical out-of-body experience rich in echoing, evolving electronics and opium-strength melodic motifs. It’s a stunning conclusion to the first part of Issakidis’s ongoing exploration of the Kali Yuga.

OM 53 D Issakidis - Navigating The Kali Yuga Vol.1 (Sampler)

After highly acclaimed releases from OK EG and Donald’s House, Wax’o Paradiso Recordings proudly welcomes Naarm/Melbourne producer Midnight Tenderness (Ryan Hunter) to the fold. Over four tracks the ‘Hydrosphere EP’ continues the label’s narrative of platforming contemporary antipodean psychedelia with three masterful productions and a remix from Boorloo/Perth’s Hame DJ.

As a producer with influences rooted in dub, street soul, boogie and the DNA of UK club music, Ryan draws down on the Middy T sound with the title track ‘Hydrosphere’, a blend of broken machine funk, glistening synth lines and beautiful crisp drum programming. ‘Rain Vibe’ takes the sound palette further adding a hefty wub for good measure. ‘Catamaran’ transports us back to the golden era on the Balearic isles, with the original evoking Ibizan sunset cruises whilst Hame DJ’s remix brings some Madchester chug to the mix.

Lagaffe Tales continue their impressive vinyl releases with an all-star European line up. The Icelandic label are again about to fill your eardrums with an array of house tracks. Out 12th of May on Lagaffe Tales.

Rolling out first and now playing ball on his home-court, Dirt Crew newcomer Felix Leifur introduces the sampler. “Eitt” comes soaked in soul and deadly stabs. His unique flavour is permeated all over this dancefloor filler. As weird and wonky as Felix gets, this one just about tops it. Twisting minds with his wizardry since his first release and by the sounds of this track, he has no plans to slow down. 

The second track on the EP comes from German duo, Coeo. This track will evoke the familiar 6am sunrise in this carefree deep club cut. “Clouds” has hard hitting drums that are infused in the soft piano riff creeping in and out accompanied by other hypnotic sounds. Caution! A journey into a deep state of dreamland awaits... 

The theme of European imports continues, this time Vienna based main man, Mooney Me lends his talents to the Icelandic label. His gift is “Soul”. With captivating percussion, a mean ass bassline all melded together with ethereal melodic chimes. A groove that will make any basement sweat out their worries. 

Rounding off is Swedish newcomer, Sune. If you’re looking for a groove that will get your body bouncing and leave a wide smile on your face, you’ve found it! His input is “I’ll Be Right Back” .a serious peak time mover! This cut of the legendary “Roy Ayers - The Golden Rod” supplies the floor with a deep disco vibe. Horns are in full swing with this one and are welcomed with some infectious high piano. This will have your hands in the Ayer within seconds.

FINA Records was established in 2011, originally as an offshoot for Ralph Lawson's 2020 Vision label. Three years into that tenure, the partnership ended with both parties looking to focus on their own imprints full time. The identity that FINA has crafted for itself is one that's hard to put a finger on, as their releases encompass a fairly wide range. Not pigeonholing themselves into one style they do manage to have a common factor connecting their music and that is strong melodic undertones. Whether it's a fairly downtempo tune or a more straightforward house jam, there is always an inherently musical nature to their output.

Saine (soundcloud), a Helsinki-based producer who has somehow managed to fly (somewhat) under the radar for years, even with his consistent quality, is a perfect fit for the aforementioned unquantifiable character that FINA has established for itself. His loose and smokey, organic sound filled with obscure samples has landed him releases on some fantastic record labels, such as an EP on the now discontinued Sleazy Beats Black Ops and an excellent mini-LP on Fools & Fables Recordings. The Finnish musician's latest is called "Mint EP" and it features three stellar cuts.

Today's premiere and the A1 'Technique' doesn't stray from what we've come to expect from Saine. Muted keys set the tone as a looped guitar rhythm and understated bass form the foundation of the groove. Crisp yet slightly hazy drums are in support with shaker patterns fluttering throughout. A second guitar sample plays call and response with a held vocal note while a male voice croons an unintelligible phrase. Sampled rhodes-like bleeps doodle throughout the first half when the vocals aren't present, taking centre stage during the mini-break. The various instruments and samples are elegantly filtered in and out while oscillating atmospheric noises help create a sense of motion. The Finnish sampling maestro is once again able to bring forth another must-have record and the good news is that it will be released in just a couple of days!
