DHA Podcast | Deep House | Techno .

After a pause and inspired by the local scene, Idealist (bit.ly/Idealist-SC) restarted making music in 2005. Also known as Details I, and real name Berni, he runs his own record label imprint, Idealist Music (bit.ly/IdealistMusic-WWW). Since his return to the industry in 2005, he has been touring his live act in various clubs, mainly around Europe, supporting acts like Jon Hopkins, Delano Smith or Der Dritte Raum. Berni claims to be more of a live performer than a DJ, but from time to time you might find him spinning from his record collection.

Based in Switzerland, Idealist is one deep and dub producer you should be acquainted with. His recent vinyl only releases include the ‘Experience EP’ on Pro-Tez (Scsi-9, Russia) and ‘Details I – Details One’ on his own imprint, Idealistmusic. Have a listen:

- Idealist – Experience-ep

As we did last year, we've just completed a DJ competition for one young DJ to open our room at Code!

The winning mix was by a young man who goes by the DJ name "Slüge", pronounced slug. His real name is Dylan Leicester!

Read a little more about Dylan below...

“Hey, my name is Dylan Leicester, I’m 21 years old and I’m originally from the Central Coast, north of Sydney, but I’m now based in Sydney. Some of my favourite favourite artists and labels include: Jamie Jones, Maceo Plex, Cajual Records, Local Talk Records, Kolour Recordings and Hot Creations. I first thought about being a DJ when my roommate entered a competition himself, and then bought a set of decks and showed me a few things he had learnt. This made me determined to be able to put together a mix of my favourite songs. I’ve been dj-ing for about a year now and have since played a couple of gigs at around Sydney such as The Burdekin Hotel, World Bar and Kit & Kaboodle. Check me out on Soundcloud – @dylan130992 and Facebook -www.facebook.com/Sluge1992

We head interstate for episode #103 of the DHA Podcast, and call on Brisbane’s Rikki Newton to show us the way. Known for his impeccable taste in house and techno, Rikki has been a stalwart of the Brisbane underground music scene for the better part of a decade.

Rikki is one half of Subtrakt Events alongside good friend Adam Swain, which was established in 2007, and has been host to international talents Dixon, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Steve Bug, Prosumer, Smallpeople, Moomin, Oskar Offermann, Jus-Ed, Tornado Wallace, Move D and Fred P.

In conjunction with members of the Kana, White Rhino and Let’s Get Minimal collectives, Rikki is launching the Andromeda Festival - a boutique open-air electronica event set to take place on November 22nd-23rd 2014 at Ivory’s Rock in South-East Queensland’s Scenic Rim. With an edgy music policy and creativity first approach, it will be a breath of fresh air to audiences looking to break from run of the mill festival line-ups.

If you were wondering what the definition of deep house is, simply have a listen to this mix. It is one of the most perfect selections of deep house we have heard in quite some time. With a distinct NYC feel to it, Rikki features tracks from some of the great producers and labels for house and techno, including Fred P, Patrice Scott, Amir Alexander & Steven Tang. We were also extremely excited to hear the inclusion of Naoki Shinohara – Dimension, released on Soul People Music in May 2014.

A truly pristine mix, every deep house lover should enjoy.

James Petrou, Sydney-local and head of Trojan House Records, is a self-taught DJ and producer. James has been a regular on the local-scene for some time now, most notably receiving the respectful honour of becoming a resident DJ at La Famiglia at our beloved Burdekin Hotel recently.

James is also well known for being one half of ‘Jaded & James’, production and DJ duo, who shot to fame with their release in 2012, ‘Toni's Pain EP’ released on Beef Records.

It was in 2013, that James took his love for music to the next level, by establishing Trojan House Records. Not only is it an outlet for his own production skills, but to showcase other up and coming Aussie talent. Artists such as Dan Baartz & Cameron Cooper have been supported by the likes of international superstars such as Richie Hawtin, Maya Jane Coles & Joyce Muniz.

James takes this mix pretty deep with some seriously chugging bass lines. Overall a beautiful deep tech flavour, perfect for his new home at The Burdekin Hotel.

Rachel May (bit.ly/RachelMay-FB) is the deep and techy alter ego of Minx: bit.ly/Minx-SC, who is a well Sydney DJ/producer signed to EMI Records. Needless to say, this young lady has been on a whirlwind tour of the world over the past few years since signing to EMI. She's travelled to Ibiza, where she has played at a little club called Pacha, London, and Los Angeles, where she played at the Grammy Awards after party.

Minx has also turned her hand to production, with her latest single 'Heaven' released on EMI Records: bit.ly/Heaven-iTunes, featuring Chris Arnott on vocals and a remix from Motez.

But Minx's big room sounds are miles apart from what you'll here from Rachel May today. Rachel keeps this mix pretty tight, with nice deep rolling basslines, a hint of acid, a slice of tech... but mostly house, with a side of classic vocals, just how we like it.

Have a listen...

We're excited to be celebrating our 100th podcast today, with the one and only Magda Bytnerowicz!

Magda is, without a doubt, one of Sydney's finest DJs. She runs an extremely successful event series, 4our (pronounced "four") alongside musical partner Trinity, which showcases local and international talent in intimate warehouse spaces. Over the past couple of years 4our have delivered the likes of Steffi, Eric Cloutier, Eli Verveine, XDB & Mareena, to Sydney-siders.

The quote from Magda's official bio reads: "Expect a diverse selection of old house and new techno (and vice versa) as well as a smattering of disco in her DJ sets, keeping you locked to the dance floor".... and she has not let us down with this mix.

Magda kicks things off with some beautiful deep house sounds, including one of our all time favourite OB Ignitt tracks. The mix slowly builds without notice, until you find yourself on a virtual dancefloor appreciating the subtle acid and techno flavours. Before she's done though, Magda closes out with with some disco, as piano keys and guitar licks sweep over you like a rush of emotion. A true musical journey, in every sense of the word.

We urge you to stick your headphones on and find a quiet space in a darkened room to appreciate Magda Bytnerowicz...

For the first time on the radio show, our three trusty residents, Venda, DJ Jim Poe, and Swampy were responsible for the music programming this fine Sydney evening. On Tuesday 8th July, 2014, the DHA crew gathered in the Bondi Beach Radio studios and made magic happen.

Venda played an all vinyl set, and it was the perfect lead-into Jim Poe and Swampy. Venda's was deep, a little stripped back and very raw house. Jim threw down what we've all come to know as his brand of NYC or Chicago-feeling deep house, to somewhat tech house at times, but that's a conversation for another time! Swampy finished off the last 40 minutes with what some might call techno, others, well they might call it tech house. We won't dwell on genre's here... Just enjoy the #*&^ing music.

0:00-0:40 Venda

0:40-1:20 DJ Jim Poe

1:20-2:00 Swampy

Sydney duo Set Mo have been working the local scene as DJs until turning their hand at production. After a couple of teaser releases in 2013, Sydney-based etcetc Music have snapped up the pair and signed them to their label, with plans for their debut EP to drop next month, August 2014.

When we asked them about their mix for the DHA Podcast, this is what they had to say:

"This time of year is awesome for all DJs regardless of musical taste. All the dance labels and artists are putting out their biggest tunes for the northern hemisphere's summer season. There's so much great music coming out at the moment we felt compelled to put together a mix of the stuff we're digging. The mix starts off quite funky with some disco, grooving house and even a brazilian joint. Around the halfway marks it steps up a notch and moves into some more clubby stuff. This mix is a good representation of the style we play out. There's also a couple of our most recent remixes in there to give you an idea of the music we produce."

Set Mo also have a fortnightly radio show on Bondi Beach Radio, Tuesdays 10pm Sydney-time.

Enjoy the music...

Our next guest is fellow Bondi Beach Radio presenter Seher (@seher).

When we spoke to Seher and asked her what the inspiration for her mix was, this is what she had to say:

"I’m a big fan of OFF Recordings and you will notice many tracks and remixes by Andre Crom in this mix, along with some remixes by Nice7, Sonny Fodera and Larse. This mix is more on the upbeat and bouncy side of deep house. The last two tracks, ‘So Long’ and ‘Time to Get Physical’ were treasures when they came out, so when I heard the recent remixes I knew I wanted to include them because their ass-shaking effect. "

We think she should have her own brand of house music named after her - Seher House! We love the bassy, upvibe, vocal and dancy tunes she's selected for us. It gives us that warm and fuzzy feeling!

Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments...
