Soft Strings At The Party

I met @hss-2 in Tokyo in Summer 2019, along with Yama, Takanori and Takashi. Hisashi was my first friend in Tokyo and he introduced me to the city's incredible nightlife. At the end of my time there he invited me to a party in a curry restaurant at the top of a skyscraper by the sea. One of the best nights of my life!

Hisashi recorded this mix while thinking about the morning.

"I've recently had the pleasure of playing quite a few nice gigs and also have a few lined up so the mix was basically a product of me going through the selections of the recent / soon to come shows and playing the "other" tracks from these records. Other meaning, well, there is always that one track that comes to your mind when you see the record, the track you pack the record for, that track you always play. you know? So in this mix i played the other tracks from these records. Plus a few new ones thrown in as well that fitted the flow. Plus an edit given to me from my buddy Florist, plus one of my edits. All over the vibe i would say is between Bleep and Ambient Techno/House with a few trancy overtones, but quite driving and dancable."

Dan Andrei - Timeless Series #55

The London-via-Bilbao DJ marks 15 years of Cartulis with two hours of punchy techno and electro, recorded live at FOLD.

When you think of London label and party Cartulis, dark, muscular electro and tough tech house spring to mind. But the name is more revealing than it first appears: in founder Unai Trotti's native Bilbao dialect, cartulis translates to "nerd." Like any labour of love, the project is driven by a deep, obsessive dedication, centred around sound, mood and community. 

Recorded at Cartulis' 15th anniversary party this autumn, RA.1017 captures why Trotti is such a compelling DJ. Playing only vinyl, he has a deft ability to balance functional club pressure with more leftfield selections, and as he outlines in his Q&A below, it comes from a belief in creative limitation, committing to a finite set of records and trusting instinct over abundance. 

Across the two hours, there are plenty of big, physical tracks built for the dance floor, but also some genuinely strange, confrontational stretches. Around the 15-minute mark, church bells ring out as a gothic female vocal looms overhead—David Lynch, if he needed an electro soundtrack. It's the kind of material you only hear at parties where dancers feel truly at ease, unafraid of the weird. That's Cartulis.

So it's finally time to end the Arhouse SoundCloud account *wipes tears from eyes* for no other reason than to be able to spend the extra $9 a month it was costing on more useful things like black jack and sake. But fear not because the magic lives in this playlist in all it's original glory. So come and rediscover days gone by with a trip down an Arthouse memory lane. There's some absolute cracking mixes in here so sit back, relax and let the vibes fondle you sexually.

THEO + SAMOVAR = THEOVAR

It has been a while. While our scene is hibernating until the better days we are all hoping for, we know dedicated listeners never stop listening. And dedicated DJs like Theo - @tho-besan-on and Samovar - @smvr [@binarysoundmusic] never stop playing records. To help you live through the mess our lives have become, behold their ultimate potara fusion : THEOVAR. Expect the juiciest house music there is, crispy, well-cooked, sexy. The kind of mix you could play in literally every situation, from a boring apéro to a decadent afterparty - anywhere really, people would dance.
