Zeus - DHA Podcast #112

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... Full tracklisting can be found on SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/100-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 for a full tracklisting, visit http://soundcloud.com/deephouseau/dha-weekly-show-053-residents-only-special-bondi-beach-radio

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... TRACK LISTING 1. Hotel DAmour (Original Mix) - Chi Thanh 2.

Jay Smalls was just 16 when he started DJ-ing in Northern England. At the time you were more likely to find him spinning tunes along the lines of hip-hop, rare groove, funk and new jack, rather than house and techno. But over time and as electronic music evolved, Jay found himself edging towards the house and techno we have all come to love. Now based in Sydney, Jay has made a name for himself in the local scene as one of the talents. Jay has played at some of the seminal parties in Sydney, such as SASH, Subsonic Music (festival + events), threesixty, Circoloco and Spice, and has a wealth of experience behind the decks. Please have a listen to Jay’s podcast, and let us know what you think in the comments on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/deephouseau/097-jay-smalls

He has played at the following notable locations around the world: PS1 (NY), Funky Teknotribe, Spundaes, Basics, Sunset and Green Gorilla (SF), Shambhala (BC), Burning Man (NV), Bedrock and Club UK (London), and E-Werk (Berlin). At Deep House Australia we are big fans of Phil's, and not only is he a talented DJ and selector, but he is well-respected here in the local scene. This is why we have invited Phil to headline our inaugural club night this coming Saturday, 31st May 2014 (http://bit.ly/DHA-31stMay).
