Time always seems to slip away in the deepest days of summer, and this week’s Nonstop is sure to have you locked in temporal loops with a cast of selectors specializing in deep grooves and tripped-out dancefloor moments.

Lot Radio resident Love Letters kicks off the affair, tenderly inviting us into the full blossom of the evening with leisurely acid basslines and full-body percussion. Longtime NTS Radio resident Kasra V takes over at peak time, a master wrangler of classic house grooves that unfold seamlessly into multi-stage dancefloor odysseys. The late night hours belong to Berlin’s Cora, accelerating into build-ups of slippery acid, rolling basslines, and chopped-up bits of psychedelic ear candy.

At the crack of dawn, Brooklyn vinyl queen Miss Parker ushers in the morning light with an energizing repertoire built from their practiced hand and deep knowledge of rave history. Tresor and Mala Junta resident Yazzus returns once again from Berlin, controlling the remaining morning hours with her uncanny ability to alchemize exquisitely textured grooves and speedy club edits from the most unlikely sources. Finally, Detroit turntable legend DJ Bone takes us for a few final laps, his legendary hybrid technique providing a master class in complex, multi-layered techno funk.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Kasra V is a London-based DJ and producer born in Tehran, whose deep passion for music has propelled him to success in both club and radio settings. Growing up in Iran, he had limited access to Western music, relying on state-funded radio stations and bootleg downloads. After moving to London at the age of 17, Kasra's hunger for new sounds grew exponentially. Securing a residency at NTS Radio in 2014, Kasra honed his skills and showcased his eclectic taste in music. He has since broadcasted over 200 shows and hosted acclaimed artists such as Yello, Tangerine Dream, and Dream 2 Science. His DJ sets have graced legendary venues like Fabric, Panorama Bar, and Circoloco, as well as intimate community-building dance floors such as London’s sweaty queer party Adonis, Homodrop, Lion and Lamb, Fitzroy, and more. As a producer, Kasra's releases are a fusion of diverse influences, ranging from ambient soundscapes and orchestral swells to touches of electro and elements of 90s rave, all completed with a nod to the history of dance music.This eclectic blend defines Kasra’s unique signature style. Since 2021, he has focused more intently on his productions, resulting in acclaimed releases on labels such as Radiant Records and Sepehr’s Shaytoon Records. Additionally, Kasra launched the Iranian folklore-inspired project Flower Storm with Sepehr, further showcasing his prowess as a highly skilled producer. In Spring 2024, Kasra launched his own imprint, V-sion. He not only curates the musical output, contributing to the ongoing dialogue between past, future, and the ever-changing fulcrum of the sonic present, but also oversees the label aesthetics to showcase up-and-coming visual artists and their work. The first release on V-sion celebrated Kasra’s 10 years as an NTS resident and featured original tracks from Kasra V & Marie Malarie, Fantastic Man, Sepehr, Alex Kassian, Spray, Angel D’lite, Byron Yeates & Brandi, Kim Ann Foxman, and 500SEC. The story of V-sion will continue this November with solo work from Kasra himself, along with killer sleeve design and a line of merch. Named breakout DJ in 2023 by Mixmag, Kasra continues to make waves in the dance music scene, solidifying his reputation as a versatile and talented artist.

    “Cora moves with astral intuition—alchemizing her indie acting roots into cinematic sets that radiate with celestial energy, and sear with Sichuan spice.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Cora moves with astral intuition—alchemizing her indie acting roots into cinematic sets that radiate with celestial energy, and sear with Sichuan spice. Driven by rolling drums, percussive passages, punchy vocals and transcendent breakdowns, the Chengdu-born DJ weaves between old school trance, progressive house and techno grooves—superimposing dramatic subplots and emotional undertows onto rhythmic narratives, attuned to the kinetic desires of the dancefloor. From her hometown residency at .TAG, Chengdu, to her newfound base in Berlin, Cora's path has been one of perpetual transformation, evolving into an accomplished DJ and producer amid an awakened and accelerating scene. Her debut release, ‘Mountain High’, marked a propulsive blend of progressive trance and her own take on traditional mountain singing, drawing on seven years of classical Italian operatic training. Her latest release, sees a meditative rendition of Buddhist mantra, ‘The Heart Sutra’. Across each of her personal productions, Cora’s confident and ethereal vocal experimentation makes every track distinctly her own. Through her performance, productions, and party series 6G+, Cora blends primal rhythm with otherworldly experience, continuing to embrace a more uplifting and sensual incarnation of her ever-mystical sound——where trance meets transcendence, and fantasy meets physical release.

  • DJ Bone

    Detroit · 13 bookings since Nov 2023

    “To some he is the champion of the underground.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    To some he is the champion of the underground. Others see him for the first time and ask the person dancing like crazy next to them, "Where did THIS guy come from?" Think of Detroit Techno and DJ Bone might not be high on your list of luminaries because he is 100% independent and does things on his terms and on his terms only. He won't tap dance or bend to fit the "popular" dj mold. Those who recognize Bone know him for his uncompromising and innovative ways. It's no accident that two letters always precede Bone's name whenever he's on the bill. First and foremost, Bone is a DJ-in the truest sense. When he spins, it's as if the turntables and the mixer become a physical extension of his body. He employs every possible technique in the disc jockey arsenal masterfully: blending, scratching, backspinning, no monitors or headphones; unrivaled in his use of the fader switch and he incorporates them all into every set. From his standing room only residency performances to after-hours spots, he rocks every show as if it's his last. What the general public and far too many DJs don't realize is that Bone spins as much for his own enjoyment as he does for the audience. It's a compulsion that only those who live for what they do possess and those who don't can never understand: Bone lives to spin-it's a necessary part of his existence. His dedication to the art of dance music and DJing is so untainted and intense that the tales of his confrontational encounters with flashy booking agents and "big name" djs are already the stuff of legend. No hype or trends, just a relentless drive and passion to take the party to another level. That's why he's one of the few spin masters other DJs hate to follow. DJ Bone is one of Detroit's most coveted underground vinyl technicians. This very talented and highly sought after artist plays events and clubs worldwide, has held a residency at four of Detroit's top clubs and produces music inspired by the city in which he hales from, Detroit. His record label Subject Detroit is futuristic and unearthly while still displaying the true essence of Detroit's Techno Soul. Bone experienced the emotion, passion and energy of Detroit Techno first hand at the infamous Music Institute. What he witnessed there, along with the eclectic mix of music filling Detroit's airwaves by the legendary Electrifyin' Mojo and The Wizard, would serve to be Bone's main influences. Bone began his DJ career spinning groundbreaking sets weekly at The Love Club (The Shelter). From there he gained a dedicated following which eventually led to him playing at three different clubs five nights a week, as well as several underground parties in Detroit. An invitation to provide fortnightly, live mixes for the Deep Space Radio show on 107.5 in Detroit was also extended. After hearing Bone in Detroit (1996 Love Club Anniversary Party), Laurent Garnier booked him to headline at the Rex Club in Paris. Soon after word spread and Bone was invited to play events all over Europe. A lack of electronic music which fit his style led Bone to produce his own original songs to incorporate into his funky and eclectic sets. He took it a step further and started his label Subject Detroit focusing on true Sonic Soul. In late 1997, Bone began his residency at the Motor Lounge in Hamtramck (bordering Detroit on all sides) pioneering an underground Detroit Techno night. Within a month, the number of Bone's weekly session attendees topped 1,000 as well as tens of thousands of others tuning in to his live set broadcast on the radio every Friday from midnight until 2 am (87.9 FM). Always looking to expand minds and move bodies, Bone took on the challenge avoided by so many DJs before him familiar with Detroit by name only. For nearly three years, he amazed his crowds, which included out-of-towners from as far as Japan and Australia alongside his Detroit faithful. Unfortunately, due to Motor's attempt to exploit what Bone had founded and loved, he decided to depart from the club and his residency. Bone's observation of the trend to book producers to spin, as opposed to actual DJs, prompted him to go against the grain and establish himself as a DJ first and foremost. He believes that an individual's talent should speak for itself and not be overshadowed or misconstrued by hype. DJ Bone describes himself as "an uncompromising, hype hating, 100% independent, real Detroit native come auditory striker and soul controller that cannot be bought". "If the gig is set-up with the music as the main focus (as it should be), then I have total control over the vibe. That's my duty. I'm not worried about having a Hollywood production going on or special effects with video images, smoke, etc. Just playing the best possible music as well as I can. I feel the need to constantly progress skill-wise and I feel my 3 deck sets are truly unique. Many DJs have 3 decks in front of them but how often do they actually have 3 records playing all at once (with the levels up)?” – DJ BONE
    Their RA profile lists Music Man Records, Subject Detroit, Sect Records, Wallshaker Music and 5 more.
