last wednesday i did my first radioshow as a
@rrfm.fm resident 🏡 i’ve started off my bimonthly show with an episode inspired by the region i’ve been spending a lot of time lately: the wondrous hills of house. deep house, tech house, percussive house, classic house, soulful house, progressive house… it’s just so fun to play house, and i loOoOoove the repetition, the layering, its minimalism or the bombasticness, the tension and patience, the never-ending beat, the at times ‘lompheid’ (clumsiness) of it (thanks
@tosh____________ for describing it like that to me once), or the opposite with its sharpness and airiness, the lightness & fun of it, etc etc.
with some tracks or sets there’s so little happening you drift off for a bit, but underneath you’ll find a driving build-up and tension that catches you off-guard. it’s been secretly massaging your body while your thoughts were still running around, until that one tiny change in bass, or an additional chord or high-hat makes you shift your focus to the music again, forcing you to engage and actively listen what else is unfolding in the track or in the set. it’s so simple but it can be so satisfying
however, this specific show is actually quite eventful, with many of my go-to tracks, the ones i’ve been trying out during my opening sets in clubs recently, and some i haven’t had the chance to play anywhere yet. lots of bouncing and echoing sounds, a few slightly cringy YEAHs in an otherwise great track (heh), and an explicit content warning for the first track! it’s my first radioshow with just dance music, and it was about time. it’s not perfect, but hey, it’s good enough :)
looking forward to dedicating my shows to come to whichever genres and styles have my interest at that moment. here’s to many shows to come, hope you enjoy, thank you for listening! (shoutout
