We have an amazing Somersault Mix brought to us by the incredible Ron Like Hell!

“Approaching a dj mix as assemblages, Ron Like Hell aligns sound with emotion, focusing on texture to create psychedelic soundscapes, imaginative spaces for comfort and surprise spectators with an unexpected crafty transition. With 25+ years of making people dance in numerous countries along with years of vinyl shop experience and music promotion, his role in the industry is unique and influential. He also djs as Wrecked, a music first queer dance party which recently turned 10.”

We hope you enjoy ❤️‍🔥

Somersault Mix 112 (Ron Like Hell) “Dress To Sweat”

Well well well... Another year has passed by! 

So happy to end it up with a mix from this upcoming big artist from nyc. Mexican born, @AmeliaHolt is a resident at @publicrecordsnyc and a host at @movement-radio-athens. 

This mix was recorded in the legendary Good Room last month, and definitely takes you on a trip to other dimensions. House, breaks, IDM and beautiful baselines that surf trancy synths. Could imagine how sweaty that dancefloor should have been, so much rythm man...

TOMBOLOMIXX 066 - Amelia Holt

Angelia Word, under her expanded moniker, is an interdisciplinary artist and DJ. Inspired by 90s and 2000s hip hop and r&b, her artistry is heavily influenced by the rawness of lo-fi house and a propensity for the sinister. Her mixes hang in a delicate balance between the nostalgic, the goofy, her deep-seated anger and frustration at the systems of oppression that crush us, and desperation for a better future. Co-founder of Femmedecks, a collective and label that celebrates and empowers diverse artists with marginalized voices, Angelia has been praised for her work by Little Village Mag, The Gazette, KRUI, Press-Citizen and The Daily Iowan. She has been featured as a panelist, discussing ways that independent cultural spaces can support and enact intersectional justice work, and is currently studying Cultural Management & Arts Administration and Policy at School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her utmost goal is to shine a spotlight on up-and-coming artists that face challenges in the industry due to their gender, race and/or sexual orientation, and to construct inclusive spaces with high standards of safety for all artists and attendees. 

Notes on the Mix ///
"Creating this mix, I was brought back to why and how I fell in love with electronic music. It is the fastest mix I’ve ever made by far — spanning 148-170bpm. I’m still trying to find my voice as an artist, so many of my mixes are an exploration into what makes me move. But this mix in particular, I think, encapsulates the sounds that spark my fire — tracks that hit my heart and remind me why club music feels like home."

75 - Sin-Pit

Sin - Pit spent her formative years in Singapore and Pittsburgh -- both of which are cities with thriving dance music communities. Having started as a college radio DJ in Pittsburgh in 2014, she has since played predominantly at clubs in Pittsburgh, Singapore, and NYC (where she is currently based). As for her current style: she is a sucker for filthy bass lines, snappy snares and distorted bell sounds.

This mix is a live recording from her recent Nowadays Non-stop set on Nov 26 2022 from 1-3am. A multitude of heavy-bass-leaning genres were tapped during this set including broken beat, uk bass, footwork, dnb and a few other surprises

May 2023 Santuario With Andidontfeelpainanymore And Sugarbeats FINAL

Madeline may be one of Smartbar's (Chicago) newest residents, but their vocal-forward club sets have been rousing Chicago dance floors for almost a decade. Sensual vocals and thundering toms imbue the Gramaphone Record's alum's sound with a characteristic warmth during peak-time sets at Smartbar's iconic weekly party Queen! and beyond. A seasoned radio host, disciplined student of music history, and skilled DJ in both vinyl and digital formats, Madeline's club-and techno-tinged house selections weave the genre-defining sounds of Chicago into the varied sonic fabric of the future.

"I’m known as a house DJ and I definitely identify with that label, but I focus on letting the energy of house guide my sets moreso than the genre. This mix is bit faster, a bit darker than you might typically hear me play. It has a tension that creates an uneasy undertone, but still with a groove and warmth. Enjoy!"

Sounds of the Toronto underground – Mixed by Parallel Minds

This past February, MEMCO and WCBN organized a Black History Month Symposium featuring a panel of three prolific Detroit-based producers, DJs, and activists. During the conversation, each panelist used their own experience to contextualize the emergence of Detroit techno, the music’s DIY ethos, and the ways in which the music inspires their work today. Introductory comments by MEMCO co-president Jordan Stanton ('19-'20).

Detroit Techno & Resistance: A Black History Month Symposium

For Black History month I dedicated my NTS to a celebration of my people in dance music. It's a mixture of tracks old to new spanning 25+ years from areas & individuals mainly in the Midwest, East Coast, and UK. A lot of the older tracks are foundational pieces of music that have shaped me as a Black Afrofuturist deejay of Pan African intent, while many of the newer imbue the brilliance and hope I currently see in modern Black dance music despite a scene that still has long to go with properly valuing us as more than diversity center pieces:

This is the space age...
A new direction
Beyond the gravitation of the past...
You will learn to journey with courage...
With fiery-aim
To reach the splendour days
Of the even greater tomorrow of the Cosmo-age 
(Sun Ra)
