Tommaso is a DJ born and raised in Florence, Italy and now settled in Chicago. His parent's collection of vintage Italian 45s has grown into a wide collection of timeless global rarities. Preferring not to put a name to his style, the most he’ll say is that the music he plays can be from any country in this world. He had the pleasure of playing with DJs like Ross From Friends, DJ Boring, Black Loops, Rahaan, Ron Carroll, Gene Hunt, Ray Vazques, Lego and Mike Dunn, and he has many more in the books.

James McKenzie aka DJ Whooshhh is an integral part of the Urban Dubz crew of DJs, bringing in solid live mix shows every week. He is also one half of the production duo Club Connoisseur alongside UK Garage legend Jeremy Sylvester with tracks that bring out the intoxicating and sultry side of Garage.

Whooshhh’s DJing was preceded by an already illustrious career as an MC of Garage, Grime and Drum and Bass. MC Nutcracka was hard at work since 1998 during the early days of pirate radio stations in Birmingham. He MC’d in stations such as Smooth FM, Passion FM (now Hot 92), Sirius FM, Silk City Radio with DJs Dr. Pepper & DJ Jewlsy. At a time when many crews started developing, Nucracka was in crews the Midland Mafia and the Nasty Bros.

In 2011 he won best breakthrough at a National Drum and Bass awards. Performing all around Europe to this day, he has MC’d for the likes of Goldie, Mickey Finn, Brian G, Dillinger, Andy C, RIP, Fabio and Grooverider.

While flourishing as an MC Whooshhh was secretly fostering his DJing career. Starting in 2002 he practiced on his cousin Lee Banger’s decks and honed his craft playing in different radio stations. “I grew up in the rough streets of Birmingham where music was my escape. Some of my old friends got caught up in a life of crime, some of them are doing long jail sentences now, so that’s where I could say music saved my life. My spinning style is quick, creative, very energetic. Style over hype that’s me.”

He later met Jeremy Sylvester in 2018 at a gig, gave him a mix CD and exchanged numbers. A few weeks later Jeremy called him to come down to the studio and do a guest show. It was history from there where Whooshhh officially became a part of the Urban Dubz family.

He and Jeremy began working together as the production team of Club Connoisseur, putting out tracks such as “Beer Garden”, “I Love You”, “I’ll be the One Tonight” and “Rude Boy Ting.” You can catch DJ Whooshhh show on Urban Dubz as well as at the next Garage Paradise event at London’s Basing House on Saturday, May 27th.

5 Mag met Mira Ló in one night in Chicago in December 2022. It's been said that anyone vacationing in Chicago in the middle of winter must be really dedicated to this house thing. She is.

@mira-lo has released a series of records on @pontneuf (Look What You've Done, 2022) and Happiness Therapy (I'll Miss You, Tell Me, 2021). We were smitten by her productions, and her DJing style — eclectic but energetic and rooted always in the foundations of house —is even better.

A DJ from the age of 22, she now appears regularly at Paris clubs including Sacré, Rex Club, Badaboum and La Java, "wandering sometimes between nu disco and house, sometimes between techno and acid." In 2022 Mira joined the LGBT collective Barbi(e)turix; she is now working on a new EP coming in Spring 2023.

@rhythmrobot is the alias of Chicago producer Ryan Gilhooley, specializing in the styles of Acid, Techno and Deep House. Making tracks since the early 2000s under the name "Hardware," Ryan took a break between 2009-2015 to focus on his marketing career. For therapeutic reasons, he started producing tracks again in 2015 as rhythmrobot. In 2016, Ante Recordings put out his first label release, "Drum Hop," followed by Owen Ni aka Pan!k, who put out his second EP, "Chapdr3" on Run on Recordings. Since then, Owen and Ryan have teamed up on a number of projects. Together, they have released music on Ante Recordings, Snail Juice Records, Bang Le Dex, Run on Trax and AcidWorx.

The highlight of rhythmrobot's music career came when Posthuman played his track "Urges" at I Love Acid in October 2020. In early 2021, rhythmrobot collaborated with Owen Ni on the "Crate Diggin'/Rung" EP. "Rung" was picked up by multiple Spotify editorial playlists which allowed their music to be heard in 138 different countries that year. To date, rhythmrobot's music has been remixed by dyLAB, Owen Ni/Pan!k, Raytek, Master Master, Yokushe, JAK, Distortion Inc., Pat Foosheen and Mark Ryal.

"Stay With Us" is the second single from Yuu Udagawa's "Forever" EP and the debut of the highly anticipated new label from the brains behind Freerange and Delusions of Grandeur.

Cyphon Recordings launches in February 2023 with a sound taking cues from electro, abstract electronica, IDM and Detroit-inspired futurism.

The first release from Japan's Yuu Udagawa ticks all of those boxes and more. The "Forever" EP is a "collection of analog slo-mo electronica and left-field minimal house" striking a balance between warmth and depth, home listening and the club, according to Cyphon's Tom Roberts in the latest issue of 5 Mag.

On "Stay With Us," Yuu Udagawa slows down time: a heavy, hazy electronic masterpiece of hammered electro-funk. Iridescent vocals wrap around Yuu's shimmering chords, curl like a coil and then spring to life, giving "Stay With Us" an unexpectedly soulful shine.

"Stay With Us" will be released on February 3; the full "Forever" EP is out February 17 2023 from Cyphon Recordings.

🔗 Link: https://cyphonrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/forever-ep

🎙 Yuu Udagawa @vigoomix is a Tokyo-based DJ, producer and sound artist. Active as a DJ since the millennium, which saw her playing at clubs, festivals and fashion shows across the country, Yuu Udagawa soon turned her attention to music production and has since self-released a handful of singles and contributed audio commissions for Sony Playstation3, museums, theatres and apparel brands.

🏷 Cyphon Recordings @cyphonrecordings is a new label with one foot in the past and another in the present. The UK-based platform will pay homage to the formative electronic sounds of the mid-'90s, whilst also looking firmly to the future in its ethos, music policy and roster. Taking cues from electro, abstract electronica, IDM and Detroit-inspired futurism, Cyphon will present exciting new music filtered through the lens of that golden era of DIY home recording and bedroom production, which helped pave the way for electronic music today.

📆 Out February 3 2022 from Cyphon Recordings.

In a little more than two years, Aterral Records has released a crate's worth of outstanding material amplifying a certain strain of deep house — those warm, richly textured deep grooves that leave behind a trace of spiritual resonance in the air. They call it "deep, life-affirming house, two-step and minimal," and that's what it is.

Carlo is the head of @aterralrecords and one of the prominent artists a roster that includes Black Loops, Lis Sarroca, Retromigration and more. @carlosthings runs one of the most compelling new labels in deep house to emerge in this decade, dropping a score of EPs selected by someone with the taste of a well-traveled connoisseur fired by the rabid enthusiasm of a fanatic.

5 Mag covers the first two years of Aterral with Carlo in our latest issue. Carlo also took over Issue 204's cover mix (this issue also features Reggie Dokes, Maggie Tra, Demuir and more). Enjoy the vibe

This week's RISE mix comes via @djdeeka head honcho at strictlyundergroundmusic.com and A&R at @strictlyum — "my very first label and love." He also co-hosted The Housing Project Radio Show on New Zealand's legendary underground radio station RadioActive.fm from 2012 to 2016.

"If you asked me where House music comes from, I'd say Masters at Work, Strictly Rhythm, Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, Derrick Carter, and Trax Records. Long live four to the floor. I'm a geek at heart, a passionate gamer, a vinyl addict. I'm a music lover with a craving for good electronic music."

Apartment Records' Kenny Hanlon is the DJ for this week's featured mix for 5 Mag's RISE series.

Kenny Hanlon is a long term "get" for me personally as I've been a crazy fanboy of both the music on his label and the way he runs it. Hanlon runs @apartment-records which released one of my favorite records of 2022, Being's There, available on digital and cassette via Bandcamp. Come to think of it, Apartment also released one of my favorite records of 2021, NCW on NCW. Their next release (and thus potentially my favorite record next year) will be from New Jackson, coming out in early 2023.

In addition to running Apartment Hanlon is one of the organizers of the Open Ear festival in Sherkin Island, Cork, Ireland.
