March 2022

This month's contribution comes from Coimbra, Portugal.

Starjammers aka João Vasco Coelho, the record store poet, a true crate digger and purist at heart comes loaded with a box full of wax just for us.

When recording vinyl, we remember the warmth it brings, those tiny sonic imperfections, the slight bending pitch from a lightly warped record, the muffled static hum or that grit that punches through the low end.

Starjammers has an eclectic ear and a record collection to match, his mix weaves through deep house showered with trickled breakbeats and a touch of gentle acid.

Strap in. This is Starjammers!

November 2021

Yiorgos.

George / Giorgos / Yorgos (Greek: Γιώργος)

This month we welcome a Greco-African who can be called by many variants of his name, as diverse as his versatility in the booth.

Born and bred in Johannesburg, South Africa, this mix came out from the other side of the world, New Zealand in fact where he’s currently based.

Having nurtured his taste for electronic music at a young age, having the usual suspects as inspiration (Knuckles, Cox, Morillo, Tenaglia…) he was soon putting a pair of mismatched turntables to use. In his early 20’s he began to dive into the deeper minimalistic approach of the genre, driven by bass line heavy house and underground grooves.

He's featured on radio shows and podcasts from the US, across Europe down to Asia, we're so glad to have him on our podcast. Not being genre bound, he prefers the music to dictate it’s soul. His mix for simsphonica slides through deep grooves trickled with melody driven by low end frequencies that will keep your foot tapping throughout.

"Some hear, others listen.. few understand" - Yiorgos
