DJ Kel | The Nod: best of 2023 (part 1) | 01-04-24

Best of 2023- Politics of Dancing with DJ ROO
Coming back to WKDU in 2019 was the best thing I was able to choose to do. Sharing music with you each week is a gift that continues to bear such sweet fruit and it’s a privilege that I take very seriously. Not everyone gets to do what I get the honor of doing each week, at this little college radio station here in the basement of the Creese Student Center at Drexel University. While so much has changed in the world around us and in the music industry and how we experience and discover new music ; our little corner of the sky seems so much the same after over 50 years. I am glad to say that I have been around for over half of that time since starting my show in 1995. Many thanks to so many of you who have followed me since those early days and were patient as my mixing skills improved and the track selection found its groove in progressive trance, house and breaks.
I couldn’t have made it happen without the generous DJs and producers who have created tracks that have moved me and dancefloors. It was an honor to go to your shows, watch you move crowds and get emotional as your tracks echoed and throbbed out of speakers stacks 20 feet high or out of studio monitors. Guest sets from djs from all over the world helped Politics to share this special brand of progressive dance with listeners here at home in Philly and those of that tuned in on Soundcloud and weekly on WKDU.ORG and WKDU 91.7Fm. Framewerk, Anthony Pappa, Retroid, Hybrid, Steve Parry, Dave Seaman, Sasha, John Digweed, Tinlicker, Bicep, Staysis, Braxton, Marsh, Ben Boehmer, Rufus Du Sol, Sultan and Shepard, Cassian, Jeremy Olander , Nick Warren, Hernan Catteno and so many more.
Here’s to a year in music that has been the healing and propulsive soundtrack to my 47th year around the sun and my 28th year as a WKDU dj.
With so much love - roo

Under his Shai FM moniker, Jia Liu (@shaifm) creates and plays percussive music with a global orientation. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, he draws upon a wide spectrum of bass and club, connecting threads across cultures, geographies, and eras. His sets are shapeshifting explorations of rhythm and emotion, from dubby downtempo to floor-shaking drum workouts. His latest EP “Bend and Break” explores these sounds, along with a recent release with SF Bay Area label Club Moniker.

Jungle Gym Records Classics Vol. 15 - 1er Avril 2024

Really putting the Weird in Weirdos inc. We have long time bristolian oddball wizard friends Escalator To Nowhere. These boys have been playing the slow and strange ever since the inception of now world famous Noods Radio since the days it basically started on a sofa. This is a refreshing none-dance-head-bop-detune-your-ears-look-at-the-wall-and-say-whatthefuckisthat-kinda-mix. Eclectic avant-garde business. Thanks for the mix, and I hope you enjoy as much as I do. Here are some words form the ETN lads:

"We had lots of fun leaning into our weirdo side for this! Basically made a big playlist of all our favourite dumb, silly, wobbly, strange tracks and then Gav fashioned some sort of Spy Kids clay sculpture out of it (that's a reference for the heads). 

There's a few ETN classics in here, like 'O Superman' straight out the blocks and 'Simple Headphone Mind' bringing it home, then the rest of it is a bit of a world-tour of wonkiness, including Indonesian percussion, Austrian gibberish into Kraftwerk, Czechoslovakian synth-pop, a Swiss interlude about a crazy monster killing people at a university (I think?) and then I thought it would be fitting to follow that with Martin Newell's University Challenge parody track and then some Captain Beefheart half-gibberish and then a track with a made-up Deep South "good old boy" talking to his daughter about drag racing which turns into a domestic. Then there's a few slightly more normal tracks but also a Michal Turtle track about condiments and a very wobbly synth tune by Cybe with some swirly bleep bloops that turn into a melody from a famous film which I won't spoil. Then there's another Cleaners From Venus track with an arrestingly beautiful karimba tune bookended with some unsettling mad-hatter's tea party nonsense, then a track made by some 14-year-old Australians about their parents getting divorced that has no business being so good, then hot cross buns into Ivor Cutler singing about bugs, and then another fantastic Japanese track we got from Mr Ho (shout-out Mr Ho). 

The first draft of the mix ended with 'Ealing Hygienic Laundry' by the Wibbley Brothers, but it felt wrong for the melting/powering-down voice saying "milky white" at the end of Simple Headphone Mind to not be the end of the mix. But then it felt wrong to not have any Wibbley Brothers track in the Weirdos mix. Thankfully the opening track from their album "Go Weird" is just a 4-second track called "Weird" in which they just sing the word "Weird!" and it fit perfectly as the finish line."

3rd Monday of the month on Netil Radio, from 7 to 9 pm, NICHE is a space to explore recent and forthcoming releases: slowfast, abstract, quasi-danceable music from the fringes, played by local and translocal heroes 🍄

This time in the booth after Ikävä Pii's 1st half, the 2 heads behind Baroque Sunburst - @big-hands-1 and @soreabuk, who went b2b with their unique blend of bassy, deep and weird club-adjacent music, stacking and layering records for an hour.

Tracklist up when they're done fighting with each other!
