Johnescu – Hooked
New Release
Johnescu – Hooked

According to DJ Pierre, when Phuture first created their pivotal Acid Tracks, Pierre was shocked that people associated the track with drugs. This led to the creation of Your Only Friend on the b-side of the release – which was a strong warning against cocaine usage. Fast forward to today, Johnescu has a cautionary message of his own with Hooked. This is an old skool minimal / deep tech roller that just keeps going with a timeless warning. Just imagine Mr. Mackey saying, Drugs are bad. You shouldnt do drugs, Mkay?

MK837 Presents Uniquely Yours
EP 710 | May 2025

This month is all about house. Well, it normally is, but this one turned out to be housier than usual. It’s a fun, but flawed set. I was pressed for time and made a couple of mistakes. I mention one of them at the end, but there are some scattered throughout. Let me know if you spot them.
Beyond the flaws, I’m excited about this one. The overall flow is smoother than I thought it would be. The transitions are things of beauty (in most case). There’s just a solid blend of classic artists and labels here that simply gets the job done.

I hope this becomes a favorite episode of Uniquely Yours.
