  1. Always awesome to find out I've been played on a radio show somewhere in the world. This time on an Irish language radio station in my home country. And amidst many people whose work I've always looked up to.

    My track "Exan - Throlt Bas" comes on around 1:09:30, just after Legion of One & before Lakker :)

    And if you've never heard Irish spoken, here's an easy introduction to it (as it's mostly track announcements 😁)

  2. @internetarchive On the same note, there's a big archive of old Trance-themed DJ shows from mid-late 2000s internet radio that I absolutely loved, now available on the Archive: archive.org/details/gt-vs-proj

    Generation Trance ranks up there with this mixset. Eye opening and worldview influencing.

  3. I remember when I heard a Kerri Chandler mixset for the first time on a radioshow around 1995. Today I kind of got the same feeling I had back then. So soulful and funky without being too cheesy. In addition, seeing him mixing with tape reels is just very impressive.

    Kerri Chandler has what you might call a taste for props. 99 percent of the time he may be DJing on a completely standard setup, but every now and then he'll throw a curveball in the mix. Sometimes it's something relatively straight-forward, like a keyboard. Sometimes it's much more exotic. He's been known to rock a laser harp. On at least one occasion he appeared onstage alongside hologram vocalists.

    That in mind, it's no surprise Chandler is skilled at what might be the most esoteric music player to DJ with: the reel-to-reel tape deck. Unwieldy as they may be, reel-to-reel's sound good enough to earn themselves a spot in the known canon of DJ equipment. Back in the day, "every major club had at least one tape machine it the booth," Chandler says. "Unlike turntables, you don't have to worry about skipping, vibrations or a dirty stylus. In fact at times if I saw the needle was a bit dirty while I was playing out at a club, I would make a quick copy to tape for about a minute, run it back, play the tape, clean the stylus and bring the record back in."

    Reel-to-reels run in Chandler's family—he's dedicated this set to the memory of his father, whose birthday was February 27th. They also loom large in his musical education. Seeing Frankie Knuckles and David Morales mix on them was one of his formative experiences. Most DJs would only use one alongside their other gear, but Chandler likes using a few—"one for loops and effects and the other sets for songs and content." Mixing on them isn't easy, but if you feel so inclined you can do a set completely on reel-to-reels. In this 70-minute recording at our London office, Chandler does precisely that.

  4. My melodic techno set from last night's TribeXR residency show. The team put on a Boris Brejcha event - I hadn't heard of the guy but listened to some of his work and threw my hat into the ring. Hope you enjoy.

  6. I'm sincerely excited to hear the inaugural TribeXR resident DJ set of DJ Cark Kendrick from Wales. He's playing a funky house set starting now, followed by yours truly playing breakbeats.
