Hei! Did you record Bakken set yesterday?

The first podcast of 2022 couldn’t start with more positive vibes. The West Coast iconic hot groove echoes in this mix made by the Irish-Iranian San Francisco-based Dj Sinèad (Orchid AM). A fresh touch and a good dose of adrenaline which helps us to forget bad times and takes us on a sunny beach so the only thing left for us to do is to turn up the volume and dance.

For July '22 we're really excited to have Josh Caffé join us for our mix series. Josh’s mix takes us on a moody meandering through trippy breaks, blended with perfection into slapped back, sultry, ethereal electronic bangers. Jump aboard Josh’s love train and expect a seamless adventure that stops off with Attica Blues, Al Green, Kruder and Dorfmeister and everything in between. It’s immaculate, and a mix that you will want to play over and over, and over again. Josh has spent the last decade on a breathless trip through the fringes of London’s shifting house and techno continuum. As a DJ, vocalist and activist of British-Ugandan descent, Caffé’s influence has been felt everywhere from institutions such as Dalston Superstore and Adonis to his own Love Child party, curated at Fabric, where Caffé holds an influential residency. Collaborating with international icons of dance music and fashion such as Honey Dijon, he has become an even more visible and respected presence in recent years. Josh's mix coincides with an upcoming album and off the back of two hit singles ‘According To Jacqueline’ and ‘Do You Wanna Take Me Home?’ (remixed by Steffi & Virginia), both effortlessly capture Caffé’s vision of queer liberation and sensuality.Big thank you to Dawn for organising this mix.

Robin Flux is a German Producer, DJ, Dancer and Artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Being influenced by the early era of queer underground dance and club culture in the US, Robin developed his own unique style between House and Techno with discerning dips into Garage, Tribal, Breakbeat, Ballroom and Disco. As a house and w*acking dancer, the creation of genuine and positive queer safe spaces has been a major drive for his work in music, dance and arts. In recent years, he has been eager to explore and connect with music and dance scenes elsewhere in the world, playing a series of gigs and hosting events in Asia and the US. Robin is dedicated to his research, working on concepts for safe spaces for self-expression, bodily connection and genuine togetherness. He continuously puts out releases on international labels such as Miura Records. 

Notes on the Mix ///
"This mix is a collage of memories and emotions from my recent journey in New York and Chicago, between states of high energy and sleep deprivation, a tribute to the underground house, w*acking and ballroom culture, for all the people active in these scenes, driven by the ideal to create genuine safe spaces of spiritual and bodily connection. The mix was recorded during Copenhagen Pride. One love."

Kiara Scuro w/ Roni - August 2022

Space Dimension Controller is the moniker of Jack Hamill, it is a moniker which has served him well over many years having released some of the most innovative, unique and exciting electronic music of the past decade.

Originally from Belfast, he has drawn upon inspiration from 80’s funk, neon lights, video games and beyond – blurring the lines between influences to create cutting edge dance music with one foot in the past and a one in the future. He has released arguably some of the best ‘dance’ albums of this generation and has appeared on pivotal labels such as Ninja Tune, Royal Oak and Dekmantel.


 
Whilst some of his music is cinematic by nature, his recent focus has been towards the clubs having been releasing material most prominently through his own recently launch label Tiraquon Records.

This has since been expanded upon with his latest outing coming in the form of an EP for Will Saul’s longstanding AUS Records.

As a DJ you never quite know what to expect from a Space Dimension Controller set – this is perhaps a testament to his vast, sprawling musical knowledge and keen desire to connect the dots between styles and genres.

Space Dimension Controller: The Ransom Note Mix

Whenever you listen to a Dazion (@thedazion) DJ set or new club track, you can hear how much fun he has with his music. The Hague man likes it rough and ready whether making bleep techno, acid breaks or new beat with whatever bit of forgotten hardware he can find. He's done so on labels including Second Circle, Safe Trip and Animals Dancing and always manages to capture the essence of what made the rave days so glorious while updating it with his own leftfield character. Next up for him is Grooveboxxx, a new album on Dekmantel that pays homage to The Hague’s 80s and 90s club scene all made with just one bit of "entry-level gear," the Roland MC-303 Groovebox.

Dazion opens this week's mix with a custom introduction inspired by the old Turn up the Bass TV spots and takes in some jams on that same MC-303 and a serval rips from early 90s rave CDs. It starts rather dreamy and serene before cracking up through the gears to get more weird. High energy rhythms, flailing percussive patterns and bulbous basslines all make for a helluva ride.
