A longtime conductor of contagious positive vibrations, Danny Bodega is a much loved name among balearic dance music enjoyers round the globe! Co-founding Gazebo Records last year, his killer ear for breezy coastal cruisers and deep crossover club jams make Bodega's effervescent energies the perfect tone setter for those long 'n' balmy summer nights. 

Step back in time for 3 hours of extended hangs and zesty hedonistic pleasures with Danny Bodega as your good time guarantor!

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when planning this mix, and what kind of listening environments might you see it being easily enjoyed in?

A. Last year I went to my neighbour Lenny’s night at a tiny basement club in Hackney with Dan Beaumont and Wes Baggaley playing records together. Had not felt that feeling in the club since the early days going out in Naarm with locals playing records all night at Lounge, Liberty Social and Roxanne Parlour. This mix is a nod to that vibe and best suited to before, or after the club hangs…or triathlon training.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are particularly close to your heart? 

A. There are quite a few records in here that I’ve had for more than 10 years and have only ever played to myself at personal kick-ons, so it’s a delight to share them more widely. The Usual Suspects remix of Mr. C and Robert Owens’ ‘A Thing Called Love’ is one. While I’ve never been a fan of Robert Owens’ vocal stylings, this remix is an overlooked $2 Layo & Bushwacka! banger. Will put it up on the Gazebo YouTube channel soon.

Q. You and Nick managed to gather a tonne of support for your inaugural Gazebo Records release last year, releasing Fuemana’s 1994 cult classic New Urban Polynesian on vinyl for the first time. What was your favourite part about that whole process?

A. The response to the Fuemana family’s story and musical talents from a whole new generation of fans really blew us away. Having Tony and Mamma Fuemana fly over from Auckland for the launch party was the perfect culmination of family, friends and community spirit around the release that was also the perfect send off for me moving to London the following day. News on Gazebo 002 incoming shortly…

Q. Where can people catch you spinning next?

A. All night at Frequence in Paris this Friday, Feb 21 at Bodega Nights, April 12 with Daisy Records and Evie at the Jago. Nick and I are putting on a Gazebo party over here on May 3 with some special guests that we are excited about!

I had a rare opportunity to play an extended closing set on Friday evening at the intimate cabin rave known as 'Club Shaniko'. It was a real honor and privilege to be able to share some of my favorite records that I've collected over the years - many of which I never thought I'd have an opportunity to play out. Big thanks to Spencer & Patrick for trusting in me & all the dancers who stayed with me through the morning. It was truly the must fun I've had playing records 🥰 Polaroid by Hasmood

All good things come in threes. Tonight, we are joined by Maria aka PERNA (@krisped), one of the iconic DJ-trio Ladiez Drink Free, and our THIRD show with the Ladiez. Given the ample opportunities to hear Perna lay club beats down around the city (ongoing residency at Bossa and recently at Paragon), on this edition of Groove Trackers she takes us down a more-introspective, lesser-spun path: jazz, dub, experimental, drum & bass and more. Tune in for some drama.

This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show features the London-based record label @hooversound, co-founded in 2020 by musicians and long-time friends @iamsherelle and @naina_ldn. Focused on pushing the boundaries of electronic music, from hardcore jungle to cutting-edge dubstep and gqom, Hooversound has released music from the likes of Special Request and Tim Reaper, Deft, and Drumskull, as well as its founders. 

For this edition of Carhartt WIP Radio, both Sherelle and Naina have created a fast-paced mix pulsing with Hooversound’s signature energy, showcasing the wide array of artists on their roster, while hinting at some forthcoming releases.  

In an accompanying interview, the label’s founders discuss how their love of The Prodigy led to a pivotal moment for Hooversound, the impact of community radio, and why running a label doesn’t feel like a job. Listen to the mix and read the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.

Launched in 1985, Metroplex opened with the Model 500 EP "No UFOs." The global demand for his new sound provided Atkins with an outlet for a string of iconic releases. 40 years on, he remains deeply committed to pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration.

For Carhartt WIP Radio, Juan Atkins has created a Metroplex anniversary mix that underlines the label’s innovative style, with tracks by himself, as well as his daughter Milan Ariel, and producers like Robert Hood. 

As ever, we also sat down with this month’s host, as he reflected on 40 years of Metroplex and how one marks such an occasion - before turning our attention to the future, naturally. Listen to the mix and read the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.

Carhartt WIP Radio May 2025: Juan Atkins - Metroplex

The Phonica series drifts Amsterdam way for the next addition in its series with not one but two of the cities most prominent artists. Kamma & Masalo supply separately in their sets nothing but magical moments so when you have the chance to see them play together it is that times two and some. Never knowing what the direction and vibe their set will go - having roots in eclectic and disco vibes as well clubbier house, techno and acid sounds (a vibe they cement firmly at their Brighter Days party in Amsterdam) - they have firmly placed themselves on top shelf list of some of Europes finest selectors.  Appearing regularly at festivals like Dekmantel and Japan's Rainbow Disco Club to name a few, the duo have played some of the best clubs around the world. For Phonica 131 Kamma and Masalo have the dancefloor in mind with a mix focused on their beginnings in the underground club scene of their upbringing. We had a quick chat with them about the mix and what they have coming up!
