Apollonia, known individually as Dan Ghenacia, Dyed Soundorom, and Shonky, have been chosen to mix the 70th installment of Fabric London’s formative mix series. Alongside !K7′s DJ Kicks mixes, Fabric provides a timely window into the work of the moment’s most solid DJs and the newly formed Apollonia are surely fit for this challenge. Although the trio have been working individually for no short period of time, they’ve seemed to reach new heights together, both in production and live mixing. They explain their sets, often noted to be five hours or longer, tend to turn into “meditation” and they’ve come to enjoy a certain unity “much like a band.”
The mix will be released on Fabric Records on June 17th. You can pre-order here.

It’s no secret that here at Dancing Astronaut we love us some gritty techno. Ever-adoring fans of Brodinski and his Bromance crew, we bring to you this morning the Frenchman’s FabricLive Radio Mix from back in 2011. The UK album series (owned and operated by the nightclub Fabric in London) rotates monthly between Fabric and FabricLive mixes — always delivering a wide range of genres and styles of electronic music and beyond. Brodi’s mixes also remind us he’s not easily constrained to a genre. He mixes in deep house and more radio-friendly tunes just as easily and he can push an audience deep into a rabbit hole. Enjoy this one, and if you’re lucky enough maybe you can even pop by and see the Bromance Night at Le Bain in Manhattan tonight. Click through for a full tracklist.

Make sure to check it out at the end of each day to ensure you don’t miss anything!

Israeli producer Guy Gerber pleased American techno fans this week with the announcement of a seven date US tour as well as the release of his latest productions, Steady EP. “Steady” is a tightly produced and groovy release; another pleasant surprise from the man who most recently delivered on his Fabric mix back in late June. The EP includes the title track, a Midland remix, and a killer production called “The Golden Sun and The Silver Moon” with support from newcomer Clarian. Gerber will be joined by Carl Craig, Shaun Reeves, and Kate Simko to kick off his US tour at the Highline Ballroom in New York on November 21. You can hear his brand new EP and find the full list of tour dates after the break.
