Cesco - January 2022 Mix

For SensuCast 046, we welcome a truly special, and deeply missed, guest: the legendary KERSO. As we depart the one-year mark of his passing, we continue to remember him in our own special way. As a DJ, a mentor to many, and an influencer (before it was a thing), Kerso was a pillar of the scene, whose passion was matched only by the depth of his knowledge. His record collection was legendary, easily rivalling anyone's, ranging from the rarest and most sought after Northern Soul, through every varying style of House and Techno. To honour his immense legacy, this posthumous mix is a personal tribute. We have woven together four of our favourite mixes of his into one continuous journey. This special arrangement showcases his impeccable taste. We begin with a mix of Moodymann/KDJ only joints that takes us into a fun and interesting look through the Circulation back catalogue. The second half is focused on two of his healthy obsessions. Jeff mills and underground Resistance. A legend forever. Rest in Power, Kerso.

SensuCast / 45 / Dan Piu Dan Piu is a DJ/Producer that has commanded so much of our attention in recent years. And quite right, too. He seems to have an unlimited supply of new material and rediscovered dusty dat tapes. His release of EP’s and Albums has been relentless. Track after track of high quality house music. As a DJ you can hear a lifetime of digging experience with each set, often selecting music that would be hard to acquire had you not been active in “the scene” at the time it was made. It was a huge treat to receive a mix from Dan. Here he presents an hour of rare sounding music from a dimension left of centre. I cant wait to dig in again and again and discover the labels and producers selected for this mix and go down the rabbit hole. Big up Dan. Good music always! übersetzen

SensuCast / 044 / Joe Davies Joe Davies is on a bit of a hot streak at present. With b2b releases being snapped up by the ever dependable Smallville Records. But joe is no newcomer, his earlier work under the DJ Assam moniker shows the quality that has been there from day one. As a long time follower, I was delighted when Joe agreed to provide a mix for the series. For our listening pleasure we have a brilliantly selected vinyl only mix of house music that will fill your speakers with hope and joy! Big up Joe. Big up decent music. Keep the fire burning!

Sensucast / 043 / Seafoam I have long been an admirer of Brian Cavender's music. Under the name Seafoam he has been producing some of the most excellent laid back and dream state, deep house music. Since as far back as 1999 he found a home on labels such as Guidance, Straylight, and Lo-rise Recordings. A 13 year haitus led to Seafoam productions having a higher stock price than facebook on Discogs, making original copies something you handle with care and try not to scratch. Rue De Plaisance stepped up in 2017 with a collected works compilation which marked the return of Seafoam. Since then we have been gifted with regular nuggets of house on a regular basis. If you head over to Brians bandcamp you will find even more music to discover. I was delighted when Brian agreed to curate a mix. His request was to create a downtempo offering of all his own productions. YES YES YES. We speak the same language. Let your mind float, to the sound of Seafoam. Enjoy!

SensuCast / 042 / DJ Popup Denmark has been an absolute hotbed for high quality producers and DJ's of late. Since the first Regelbau release in 2014, there has been a constant stream of talent for us to discover. It seems there is a true community supporting each other through collaboration, distribution, and mentoring. DJ Popup has been making serious waves since the launch of their NES label. A fresh outlook on house music that is both forward thinking yet subtly nodding to the past and those that paved the way. I was delighted when I received this mix. Good honest house music put together with care and attention. A huge thanks to the artist for sharing. Enjoy!

SensuCast / 041 / Lowree Lowree is an exciting artist that has been on our radar for some time. We have been fortunate enough to invite Joe to play Sensu on two occasions, both times impressing us with a diverse taste and keen ear for dope tracks. 60 mins of toe tapping, head movers coming your way. Enjoy!

SensuCast / 040 / XDB Kosta Athanassiadis is an artist that should be truly celebrated. When the aliens land they will be given a folder marked 'XDB - The Sound Of The Underground' and they will understand. No compromise No shortcuts Always quality Get lost in the sound of XDB!

SensuCast / 039 / Tom Churchill Tom has been a constant presence across the electronic music scene in Glasgow and beyond for as long as we can remember. As a label head for headspace recordings and emoticon, or production releases under Nuclear Family, we have been nothing but impressed the quality of output and breadth of his musical knowledge. Tom has just released his most recent solo EP on 2sox. We highly recommend all 4 tracks. We warmly welcome Tom for SensuCast no 039 https://2sox.bandcamp.com/album/rainy-day-in-clynder-ep-2sox005 https://youtube.com/c/TomChurchill https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/PsAkc

For episode 038 we hold our hand out to Edinburgh and invite Renzo(etiket)to share two hours of excellent music. It's playful, interesting, and totally worth your time. We like this a lot!

Cesco serves up a mouth-watering selection of gems to help kick start your 2022.
