Somehow we ended up playing not a single House music track this week. Lots of Funk, Beats, Wave and, above all, difficult to define music though. All good, of course. Some old, some new and some re-issued.

Because DJ Kwak is enjoying the south of France we’re taking over his radio show this Saturday. Between 6 and 8pm we’ll slap unsuspecting listeners around the ears with our trademark mix of obscurities and solid new stuff. Tune in and hear us go live. Flash your lights. Connect.

Our trademark mix of obscure, unclassifiable gems from past to present with hints of soul in all possible degrees of abstractness. Never obvious, sometimes dusted off, sometimes brand new, always raw & delicious.

Stylish magazine The Word interviewed us for their series on duo’s. It’s a very rare chance for those of you interested to know more about the core duo and main DJs of the Onda Sonora family. We don’t get interviewed that often. Not that we’re feeling bad about that either, shy as we are. Anyway, pretty pleased about the result. Check it and big up to The Word and Sarah.

Fusion Jazz, warped Disco, old school House bangers, newly released ones too, some new Electronic bass-heavy music from London and cuts from back in the day that still sound mighty fresh today. That’s what you get this week. Tell me who serves you this kind of selection every week?

OUR PARTY last Saturday was a big success. Lots of people dancing to the music we love. We didn’t really know what to expect of the change of venue but in every possible way it was a big hit. Even though it was hard work, we enjoyed every single minute of it all. Big up to everyone at Bronks for giving us this chance and all the work you’ve put into it. It’s a joy to work with y’all. Big up to cafe Merlo for helping us out with a few things during the night. Big up to Mezzdub and Ashley Beedle for the great sets. Big up to everyone who came and danced. You being with so many opens up new doors for us. We don’t do OUR PARTY to earn money, what we get, goes out again. If we can keep this up we might make some of our absolute, and up until now somewhat unreachable, dreams happen. Although we’ll always go for quality first. Rather than going for big names we go for DJs we know are good and who have made an impression on us.

Next edition for instance we bring over Kev Beadle. A DJ who’s been a big influence on us through his radio shows, compilations, residency at Southport Weekender & Suncébeat and the line-ups he puts together for those 2 festivals (the Beat Bar has been our favourite dancing spot for years). March 31st at Bronks.

Rests us one final big, big thank you. To all who helped us out behind the bar, at the entrance, by collecting glasses or cleaning up in the end. We couldn’t do this without your  voluntary help. We can’t stress enough how we appreciate your efforts.

More pics taken during the party are available over here.

Lots of Disco, an Ashley Beedle triplette and banging old school House. And our radio promo for OUR PARTY. Enjoy.
