DT899 – Salvione

23 December 2024 - Grahame Farmer

Born and raised in New York City, DJ and music producer Salvione is ready to share his powerful sound and style with the world.

With influences from the classic House acts that sparked his love for Dance music, like Danny Tenaglia, Nic Fanciulli and Martin Ikin, to name a few, Salvione developed his hard-hitting and unparalleled sound and style that blends elements from House, Funk and Tech to create unmissable bangers ready to take the Electronic Dance world by storm.

Being no stranger to the charts, his releases on labels like Toolroom have reached the top 15 overall Beatport charts, as well as multiple top 10 Tech House singles chartings at the same time, earning him the praise and support of leading names like Nic Fanciulli, Roger Sanchez and Christian Nielsen.

His energetic and unrivaled live performances have taken him far, performing alongside names like Dubfire, Loco Dice, Apollonia, Eats Everything and more; playing at iconic venues like Pacha, Cielo, Output, Avant-Gardner, in NYC, Ministry of Sound in London and Ibiza Rocks, to name a few, as well as, top-tier festivals like The BPM Festival, Hyte Festival, Electric Zoo and various Elrow performances in the recent past.

Recent milestones for this unstoppable DJ include engineering for one of his major musical influences, Danny Tenaglia and launching his own brand ‘Elevated’. With ‘Elevated’ Salvione seeks to create a community around House music and raise the vibration of it via a weekly radio show ‘Elevated Radio’, a Facebook group and newsletter where producers can exchange and learn from each other, find new recommendations, tutorials and tips, and his own Elevated Academy, where he mentors up-and-coming producers, guiding them with his knowledge and expertise creating a truly comprehensive learning experience.

After being named an Artist To Watch in 2024 by Mixmag and landing a 5-week residency at Ibiza Rocks, Salvione shows no signs of slowing down. He continues to aim high, achieve new breakthroughs, and unleash powerful productions that will propel his career even further.

Today, he joins us on the podcast for the first time. Listen to it below, on Mixcloud or iTunes here.

Sum up this podcast in 10 words…
Buckle up because we are going on a musical journey

What’s your personal favourite track on it?
It’s hard to pick just one, but I’d have to go with Buccina by Rob D’Shawn. Rob’s one of my Elevated Academy graduates, and he’s absolutely crushing it right now.

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
The funky grooves, live edits, and infectious energy that flow throughout—it’s a vibe that keeps building.

Tell us about your next EP?
Soul Sellin’ is dropping on Purple Tea Records in Q1 of 2025. I’m really proud of this release—it’s been a hit in my sets, especially during my Ibiza Rocks residency where I was first road-testing it.

What have you got coming up?
There’s the Soul Sellin’ EP, of course, but I’m also launching a new cohort of the Elevated Academy Advanced Production program. Plus, I’m hosting an Art of the Remix masterclass, where students will learn how to remix while keeping their unique sound. They’ll even get the stems to my Purple Tea release to work with, and the best remix will earn an official spot on the EP. I’m super excited about that!

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Thanks for tuning in and checking out the mix. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together—and remember to Stay Elevated!

A rising name in Milan’s vibrant house scene, Davide T makes his debut on the influential imprint with a collection that showcases his knack for tight grooves and percussive flair.

The EP’s lead track, ‘6.00 AM’, bursts onto the scene with a magnetic energy, weaving together sharp drum patterns, fast-paced hi-hats, and warping basslines. The groove is elevated by smooth, soulful female vocals that bring a refreshing contrast to the track’s driving rhythms, creating a hypnotic peak-time weapon.

The EP continues with ‘Funky Beats’, where chunky, rapid-fire percussion meets an irresistible R&B flow, complete with rap-style vocal elements and intricate beats that keep the energy high. Closing things out, Davide teams up with DRAXX for ‘Daddy’, a track that hits hard with vibrant percussion and relentless rhythm, embodying the pure essence of late-night club heat.

Known for his standout performances at Manawa Experience and Red Motel parties, Davide T has been earning recognition from icons like Marco Carola, The Martinez Brothers, and Jamie Jones. His debut on Desolat marks a milestone in a breakout year, further cementing his status as one to watch in the global house music scene.

“This project was about seeing my music through the eyes of artists I truly admire,” Pretty Pink explains. “Each remix adds a new layer of emotion, creating a celebration of collaboration and creativity.”

A standout moment comes from Jan Blomqvist, whose remix of ‘Euphoria’—already a festival favorite at Burning Man 2024—injects haunting vocals and hypnotic beats, giving the track a vibrant new energy while staying true to its core essence.

Renegade Masters: DJ Scottie

18 December 2024 - Shelley Dodds

Over the years, DJ Scottie has built a formidable reputation in the UK rave scene, playing at an impressive array of large-scale events and smaller, more intimate gatherings across the country. His career has seen him grace the stages of legendary events such as Dreamscape, Slammin’ Vinyl, GodKitchen’s Global Gathering, Helter Skelter, Fantazia, HTID, Vibealite, Raindance, Uproar, and Fast Car Magazine at the Excel Centre in London. His versatility as a DJ has also led him to perform at numerous club events, spanning a variety of styles and audiences across the UK.

In addition to his own performances, Scottie has shared the stage with many of the most influential acts in the dance music world, from pioneers in Rave and Hardcore to prominent figures in Drum & Bass, Trance, and Techno. Some of the legendary names he has collaborated with include Slipmatt, Judge Jules, Grooverider, Scott Brown, Fabio, Ian Van Dahl, Dougal, Hype, Dave Pearce, Gammer, Clarkee, Rat Pack, Hixxy, Top Buzz, Nicky Blackmarket, Sy, Micky Finn, Darren Styles, Ellis Dee, Ratty, Seduction, Jumping Jack Frost, Vibes, and Ray Keith. These collaborations highlight Scottie’s broad appeal across a wide spectrum of genres, cementing his status as a respected figure in the electronic music scene.

Although Scottie stopped playing new music at events in 2005, he remains a beloved figure in the scene, often returning to play old skool and classic sets at special events. His ability to capture the energy and essence of the rave scene’s golden era continues to resonate with both long-time fans and newer generations discovering the roots of electronic dance music. His occasional appearances are highly anticipated, as his sets bring a nostalgic yet timeless atmosphere to any event.

I first became aware of Scottie through a friend who told me how good he is, when I saw his name pop up at a local event at Unit Nine in Milton Keynes, I knew I had to get there early so I could see for myself and I wasn’t disappointed…he’s actually far better than some headliners! A chance meeting at Sanctuary Forever, a chat in the smoking area and a couple of Facebook messages later and here we are today…our last mix of 2024!

Given the many years DJ Scottie has dedicated to perfecting his craft, it seems only fitting that he has earned the title of Renegade Master!
