POPULARITY
Born in New York, some of his earliest musical influences included his mother's love for soca music and the distinct Caribbean rhythms of his culture. An appreciation of Jazz would be further guided by his father's expanding audiophile home system. Moving to Detroit in 1980, the start of the decade where Techno would take formation, put him at the center of music history while simultaneously working at the now famed nightclub “The Music Institute”Relocating to Atlanta to attend Morehouse College, he took it upon himself to bring more of the authentic House and Techno flavor to his new home, playing at numerous clubs and bars in the metro area. Eventually this led to DEEP, his aptly-named, game changing decade long Saturday night residency at local club MJQ, where he would bring guests such as King Britt, Steve “Silk” Hurley, Peven Everett, Kerri Chandler, Phil Asher and Joe Claussell.It is during the 2000s that Kai really sets his stride. 2002 saw the release of his first production, ‘The Kaizer EP', on Brett Dancer's seminal deep house label Track Mode. After a few releases on other labels such as Moodymann's Mahogani Music, Deep Explorer & Real Soon. A few years later he would co-found the Labor Day weekend outdoor event House In The Park with DJ Ramon Rawsoul which now has over 15,000 attendees.2008 saw the creation of his label NDATL and the first edition of his annual Deep Detroit. NDATL stands for the cities that have played a role in his musical development: New York, Detroit, ATLanta. Which is home to many of his own productions and A List producers such as Larry Heard, Mr. G, Theo Parrish & Mike Huckaby to name a few.e has recently curated the boutique Kai Alcé Eyewear line. “The Kaizer” never stops moving. A love of life, mixed with his flair for originality, willingness to experiment and devotion to the dancefloor has cemented his place as a pillar in American dance music history. Whatever comes next from Mr. Alcé, you can be assured that it will be classy, soulful, fulfilling and funky. www.ndatl.comRecorded on April 7, 2025 in Brooklyn, NY.

Chubby! on Facebook: www.facebook.com/chubbyrecords Rabbit Taxi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/rabbittaximusic @rabbittaxi "As a long time Chubby fan I was inspired to create a mix that moved through a bunch of different vinyl textures with a bit of depth and variety throughout. Perhaps it's a bit less focussed on the "groove" as many of my mixes are, and a bit more exploratory rhythmically. Turned out to be one of my favourite mixes. Two hours, all vinyl. Starts with a bit of breaky, lo-fi crunch courtesy of artists such as MoonB and then ventures off into a bit of smoother and deeper vibes from Deep Explorer, Saine & HVL before switching gears a bit in the back half with some Fred P, Linkwood, Mall Grab, Deep 88."
I don't have to introduce Dubbyman. You all know him from several releases and his amazing label "Deep Explorer Music". He decided to bless us with a special selection of house records from the early days. Definitely a piece of House history. Enjoy.
This week with a guestmix by one of my favorite artists. Melchior Sultana from Malta. He released on labels like Jus Ed's Underground Quality, 12Records, Deep Explorer and many more. I'm also a big fan of his collaboration with Deep88 and Owen Jay. Very happy to have him as guest in the show. Enjoy this dope deep journey.
