Resident 'In The Mix' Defcon - Warehouse 17032021

If all the other PHUK residents are Jedi, then the Defcon collective are most definitely on their way to the dark side. The whole point of having a team of residents is that all sides of the electronic spectrum can be explored so DJs and listeners get variety and light can be shone into the far corners of the scene. This month the dynamic duo have given us 2 mixes: Warehouse & Annexe. Their idea is simple and effective. You can choose which room to explore in your own time for 75 mins each. 'Warehouse' explodes into life through NASA's control room into warm expansive breaks from Chris Cargo. Don't forget though that Defcon doesn't wait on ceremony to ease you into proceedings. Tight, precision mixing affords space-age melody to fuse effortlessly with big science fiction noises and brooding bass lines. Freedo Mosho's 'Mano Chanta' is all those things within the first 10 mins. Then D-Rhapsody's 'Supersimmetry from back in 2017 drifts in and still sounds as perfect today as it ever did; it's blissed-out science fiction house music in full flow. Lay back and feel the weightlessness of this stunning track. Don't get too comfortable. Nichols' Tremors is like the Event Horizon coming into view - Any crew? Negative. If this is a warehouse then it's a warehouse onboard a giant space freighter silently cruising past distant planets. Vadim Zhukov's Zip-tastic remix of Forty Cats' 'Duality', couldn't be better placed to initiate hyperdrive. Complementing the pace but yet changing the mood cleverly comes Khainz & Frohburg's The Call - dark elements rumbling below the tripped-out piano and key changing bassline doesn't get better much better than this. Another Forty Cats number this time remixes by Cheltenham's Alfonso Muchacho takes the mix higher still. Things then get bent and twisted for a while as HAFT and Daniel Ratenke's respective remixes melt into dark funky and organic rhythms. Tension builds as mystical voices call out. The energy climaxes back into solid 4/4 from Hacobb and the warp drive is initiated once again. As 'Caged' filters in you can sense we're coming home beckoned by the sweet vocals. Ground control prepare for landing, crew return to seats as Intro P's 'Fireflies' slows and cools the mix to a safe level for us to land safely. Just as you'd expect things change and move quickly without warning but never without purpose or flow in this mix. Forget trying to make sense of the names or genres of the tracks Defcon play. Instead, just give in and be transported away. Resistance is futile.
