We head interstate for episode #103 of the DHA Podcast, and call on Brisbane’s Rikki Newton to show us the way. Known for his impeccable taste in house and techno, Rikki has been a stalwart of the Brisbane underground music scene for the better part of a decade.

Rikki is one half of Subtrakt Events alongside good friend Adam Swain, which was established in 2007, and has been host to international talents Dixon, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Steve Bug, Prosumer, Smallpeople, Moomin, Oskar Offermann, Jus-Ed, Tornado Wallace, Move D and Fred P.

In conjunction with members of the Kana, White Rhino and Let’s Get Minimal collectives, Rikki is launching the Andromeda Festival - a boutique open-air electronica event set to take place on November 22nd-23rd 2014 at Ivory’s Rock in South-East Queensland’s Scenic Rim. With an edgy music policy and creativity first approach, it will be a breath of fresh air to audiences looking to break from run of the mill festival line-ups.

If you were wondering what the definition of deep house is, simply have a listen to this mix. It is one of the most perfect selections of deep house we have heard in quite some time. With a distinct NYC feel to it, Rikki features tracks from some of the great producers and labels for house and techno, including Fred P, Patrice Scott, Amir Alexander & Steven Tang. We were also extremely excited to hear the inclusion of Naoki Shinohara – Dimension, released on Soul People Music in May 2014.

A truly pristine mix, every deep house lover should enjoy.
