Chapter 3: Descendants from Greatness

Abusia Backtrack Chapter Three: Descendants from Greatness By the time the 1990s arrived, house music had already created its temples, its rituals, and its gods. But a new generation of DJs and producers—raised on the foundations of The Loft, The Garage, and The Warehouse—were now ready to build kingdoms of their own. They weren’t imitating the legends—they were continuing the lineage. This is the story of the Descendants from Greatness—the DJs who took what they were given and made it […]

Chapter 2: The Inner Circle

Abusia Backtrack Presents: Chapter Two: The Inner Circle In Chapter One: The Sound That Built Us, we opened the doors to the sanctuaries where house, disco, and underground dance music began. But behind those doors was a circle of visionaries—people who didn’t just play records. They broke rules, built communities, and designed blueprints for freedom. This is the story of the inner circle: David Mancuso, Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles, and Nicky Siano. Before they were legends, they were listeners. Before […]

OTR SPOTLIGHT: DJ SODÉ This DJ Sodé spotlight takes you from her Newark roots to her residency at AbusiaRadio. Born and raised in Newark, NJ, DJ Sodé grew up in a house where music wasn’t just background noise—it was the heartbeat of home.

Chapter 1: The Sound That Built Us

Abusia Backtrack Chapter One: The Sound That Built Us Before the algorithms, before the club charts and curated playlists, there was something raw and real: a beat, a basement, a body in motion. This is where house music was born—not in boardrooms or press releases, but in sweat, spirit, and soul. Abusia Backtrack is our love letter to the culture that raised us. It’s a preservation project, an educational journey, and a tribute to the Black, brown, queer, and working-class […]

The Cult of Rotary Mixers

There are more rotaries on the market than ever before, and many top DJs swear by them. So what, if anything, makes them special? Stephen Titmus investigates. When Joe Claussell DJs he'll often seem overcome by the music he's playing. He'll lean downwards before snapping violently upright. His elbows will start to flail. He'll shake his head and contort his features like a musician in the throes of a breathtaking solo. These movements are all connected to Claussell's manipulation of […]
