AKA Podcast 010 hosted by the man Ryskee.

As always, we asked the host to put together some words for us:

This set explores sounds I've been passionate about over the past 4 or so years. After witnessing Traumer play at Shipwrecked Festival in New Zealand in 2020, I was inspired and thrown down a rabbit hole of digging deep minimalistic grooves. I can thank Shipwrecked for a lot of my musical inspiration as a DJ & also it has set the bar for dance music culture & event production to me.

This was recorded after heading to Byron Bay to see Traumer perform again a few weeks back at S.A.S.H with one of my good friends Calmy on opening duties. It was epic to connect with a bunch of minimal fizzers down there & I felt super inspired afterwards! So here is the outcome.

Chur to Also Known As for curating this platform of expression for artists!

AKA is delighted to have Razah on the podcast, enjoy the two hour mix via our Soundcloud and see below for some words from the man himself:

Creating this mix was a bit of a challenge and also very fun, never played any of these tracks, so they are pretty fresh. The mix goes from 122bpm to 128bpm so I think it works well for a 2-hour mix, keeping the groove going with minimal deep tech. Hope you all enjoy.

My next gig is coming up on 29th of June at Catalog Records hosted by Camp Paprika, Hidden Kolective & Analog Affair (Vinyl Only).

AKA Podcast 008 by Liam Jones.

We asked Liam about the mix and what's in the pipeline for him and his production:

I’ve chosen a bunch of tracks from some of my favourite artists. As well as a few unreleased cuts from myself, two of which are releasing on the amazing Psicodelica Label very soon.

I’ve been having so much fun producing as of late and hopefully this mix can show everyone the sounds I am trying to achieve.

Thank you AKA for having me on and creating a platform for underground artists to share the type of music they are passionate about.

Podcast 007 out now by Calmy, a few words from the legend below:

I'm glad I could also share a bit of my feelings with this set. This sort of minimal house is what I have felt I developed over time choosing tracks where the kick might not be the strongest or most important element but the bassline and percussions give the mix diversity & groove which can create an amazing atmosphere.

Podcast 006 out now from a great bloke we’ve been keeping an eye on, Walker has also provided us with some words of his own to go with the mix.

Walker:
I’ve chosen a deep and groovy selection of tracks for this AKA mix series episode, with some breakbeat and spicy acidic elements to flex some of the variety that is within my music collection. Minimal and Hypnotic cuts have been the constant highlight in my music library, as I’ve collected almost every genre since the mid 2000s from Breakbeat, Chicago House, to Hard Trance & UK Freeform. I have endless love for Minimal because it shows that louder and faster doesn’t equal a stronger dance floor experience. You can strip it all back and give the room some space to breath and still create a strong dance floor buzz with lesser sounds, when the right tracks are selected as the right time. This applies to all genres, but it wasn’t until I discovered Minimal in 2005 that I truly understood this approach.

This mix includes some fresh gems, and a few classics (Tobi Neumann’s timeless remix of Dinky’s “Acid In My Fridge”), some deep digs (Nat Wendell’s Silky Smooth “Know Where It’s At”) and a super tasty new release by Rascal on Berlin Label, “Zapped”, is “HypnoTrick” (his whole new EP is sensational). A peek into my favourite corner of my music collection.

Minimal, Stripped Back & Deep Groove tracks will always have a place in my sets. The continuation of groove for hours on end creates an atmosphere like no other, in my opinion. The slow heightening of energy and intensity. My favourite vibe. Makes you feel alive.

Hope you enjoy listening, huge gratitude for Jack Foran for welcoming me onto the AKA mix series. AKA is an exciting venture for Jack, and I support his vision for this fresh project of his.

First podcast takeover for the year of 2024 is from Gold Coast based DJ/Producer, Auntie Brenda (Brendan Holt).

Auntie Brenda is well known for playing and creating music that will make heads turn on dancefloors and with that being said, is why he's at where he is today playing at parties hosted by Camp Paprika, Hidden Kolective & SASH... just to name a few.

The mix he has provided is nothing short of spectacular, with dreamy minimal tunes that have wiggy vocals to big dancefloor stompers that will have your hands stuck in the air.

You can find the mix via the SoundCloud link in our bio.
