I’ve been in Europe since June 15th and I’m starting to feel the urge to return to NYC, although I’m getting used to the beautiful time here. I can’t deny it’s been lots of fun ;)

Some announcements and some music, as usual.

So, first things first!

On August 20th, the dream partnership is happening with our beloved NYC family, Accessory Records. Most of you will recognize this label through the rock-n-roll-inspired Accessory to Murder releases by Miles Mercer and Simic.

We’re hosting our freaks gathering at Good Room, inviting a great group of like-minded weirdos.

Joining us are Titonton Duvanté (live), Rose Kourts, Miles Mercer b2b Simic, and in the Bad Room — Amelia Holt (me), Australian special guest Greville, and Second Contact.

Starting at 10 PM and going until late, don’t miss out.

RSVP / TICKETS: https://ra.co/events/2494100

Alright, so as if that wasn’t enough, we have a second event just a week later on August 29th: ACIDELICA w/ Jacky Sommer and Scotia at a new rooftop location. Come and find out. 🤫

I admit it’s quite soon, but for those who come to Good Room, we’re guaranteeing free entry before 11 — just show up or RSVP here. 10 pm to late.

Alright, now for some music 🎶

And more listening, in case you did not have enough.

Sideways sounds and sub-118 excursions from Neonlichter (NYC + Montréal) taking over this month for Honey Trap. Skeletal post-punk, illbient, leftfield dubs, industrial runoff, haunted dancehall, Québecélectriques, wrong-speeders, acidic meltdowns, giving the people what they want (and telling them they want it) Neonlichter can be heard every 1st Thursday of the month on N10.AS, every other Friday 4-6 PM on East Village Radio (with Playing Out Of Time), curating the Days Of Steam mix series, and as part of Toronto-based Persian dub-concrète ensemble Dastgâmachine and Montreal-based junglist shoegazers Maisonneuve.

Enjoy and chat soon!

Amelia Holt

I do recall having some beautiful weeks behind me visiting Europe and catching up with old friends, and making some new ones too. I’m forever thankful that I’m able to do what I do and share it with others.

But before we get to that, I got some announcements that require ultimate focus, eye contact, and attention overall.

Next weekend, June 13th, Honeytrap, Solarplexia & PDA (Berlin) will be doing a massive summer time rendezvous + a whole ice collaboration by Unknown Accelerator.

If you snooze you loose.

DJs from every side and corner of every borough of NYC. UMA DJ & Sasha Crush, will be throwing down some massive heat, followed by residents Mike Guimond, Seth Magoon & myself to set the tone and keeping things unpredictable. We’re also bringing a special guest and collaborator from Berlin, Tam Tam, who throws what is probably my favorite party, PDA — doing things right and breaking away from the norm. And a very honorable secret guest from Tokyo ;) One for the books indeed.

Alright now some tunes to sooth you this fine morning.

My travels started night time in JFK > bathroom break in Reykjavik > smooth landing in Munich. There is nothing like getting to a destination a day early to catch your breath and acclimatize to the surroundings, catch up with people and explore.

Lots of highlights in every city, loved the trip from Milan > Zurich the view looked unreal.

Thank you to all the wonderful people who were part of my travels there. Shout out to Benny, Bar Charlie, Public Possession, Kiawash, Pacome, Karmen Camina, DJ Hell, Fat Wax crew, Linea Radio, Dominik André, Marc Feldman, Nive, Razzmatazz, and Sarah Groborz — and of course Alex & the Pieces team.

Some more songs here.

Other news

Cuerpos – Sin Orden pulls from post-punk, dub, and ‘90s techno without ever feeling nostalgic. The Canada-based duo build tension through low-end pressure, hypnotic repetition, and rhythms that feel equal parts warehouse and coldwave basement.

Humid, anxious, smoke-filled dance music that never fully resolves itself — in the best way possible.

Releasing June 29 via Honey Trap.
Pre-order now in session.

DOSIS - Ritmo Animal fully sold out on vinyl but grab your digitals here.

Mixes

New one on our series Syd Woz & ZDBT

A week or so ago, we had one of those rare summer evenings that landed in the spring, and everything felt groovy baby. One martini or two led to no good—but a lot of great ideas.

I had the pleasure of sharing that with two friends, Mars and Pete, that evening before we started to come up with ideas and writing down all the nonsense we thought could lead to another collaboration: “what about parties in these locations (cannot disclose), food collabs, out-of-city gatherings, etc., etc.” Anyway, more to come out of this sometime soon. 😉

Ok, recapping a couple events I played from the end of February into early March.

Starting with the incredible Baltimore, Package Goods — Jacq Jill, an icon of that city and a woman of many hats and traits. I was in awe of the overall vibe and the experience; the party really spoke for itself. I can’t reveal too much, but to keep things short, it was a beautiful gathering in her personal DIY space that she’s been building over time, complete with her own sound system.

The most important part of it all: it started at 2pm and ended sharply at 7pm. Everyone showed up promptly and was ready to dance.

The day took off with a gentle warm-up by Jacq Jill → transitioning into some trippy, chuggy beats by yours truly → ending things with deep creep with her driving minimal house.

Thank you JJ for throwing a stellar party <3

Now, Nightmoves — the Honeyplex took place on a Friday night. A good old B2B with Mr. Magoon and a visit from Vilnius’ own Clicklounge. Vibes were immaculate — a weekend there is always a little treat. 😈

Alright, as always can say more but will save it for later!

March 21st was a hit, and we can’t wait for blow round two on May 3rd with some special guests from abroad. Sunday funday — 1pm to late. Bring your tired ass to us and we’ll recharge it. 🔋

News

Big record release on the Honey Trap imprint by the best — Daniel Rincon and Zachary Treble. This record has been in the works for a minute, and we’re so excited it’s finally been announced.

Pre-orders are available on Bandcamp for the digital release and on One Eye Witness for vinyl.

The record drops on April 20th — make sure to grab the vinyl while you can, very limited pressings available.

Mixes

Our next mix comes from Tokyo based DJ, Frankie $. A hidden gem, but maybe now not so hidden ;)

The original version of this mix was put together for a 3 hour drive to DJ and snowboard in Nagano prefecture, and Frankie $ was able to demo the mix to me and the crew on the way back in the perfect conditions: cruising along the highway into the outskirts of Tokyo with the city lights as a backdrop.

“The mix focuses mainly on dark progressive house from 2001-2003. This was not a fantastic era for music so I had to spend a few months digging hard for records with the same dark, cold vibe. Stylistically I went for a super-long mix format, taking several minutes to layer and squeeze out a more heady complexity from tracks that on their own tend towards the minimal and muscular.”

Enjoy!

Lot Radio & Kiosk shows are now up:

Anyway, that is all for now. See you at Blow!

Amelia Holt

I was very happy that most of February I traveled nationally and stayed in NYC because I got to see some of that luscious snow that shortly after got peed and pooed on by all the dogs in the neighborhood. “I couldn’t help but wonder… do dog owners secretly believe that, like a bad date, it will simply disappear once the snow melts?”

Anyway, I won’t derail the conversation with that sort of talk. I want to share some highlights from this month—travel, music, and food.

So, let’s take things back to early February. To recap, Honey Trap at Signal in Brooklyn was a great success (thank you Signal and friends). I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Thursday night that slammed — everyone crushed it: Justin Strauss b2b Matias Aguayo, SiSi, and myself. The whole flow of the night felt very organic, and that’s how I always want it to be. Slow into faster, and then easing back into that heartbeat pace.

Right after that, the next night I played a 6-hour slow burner b2b set with Gee Dee, warming up the room for PLO. To keep it short, it was stellar—the room had the right people show up at the right time for a dance.

Some of the songs I played that evening and that weekend…

Just when you thought the weekend was over, I took a short flight over to Miami to see my dear friend Gio and played her incredible party, Verbs. Our Verbs x Honey Trap collaboration finally happened after a year of discussion—and in the best month of the year (not just because we’re both February babies), but because it’s always summer in Florida.

Both Verbs and Honey Trap share similar flavors in visual aesthetic, but musically we had discussed feeling a responsibility to highlight some up-and-coming artists doing amazing work, while also shining a light on those who have been shaping the scene in our geographic area for a long time. Anyway, we like to take chances, and so far the outcomes have been great—always staying true to who we are.

The party takes place in a cool off-the-road restaurant, mostly catering to construction and industrial workers coming in for a quick bite (Cuban food) and a drink. By night, it usually doesn’t operate—but every once in a full moon, when Verbs happens, it opens for the dancers.

The night started with Pablo Arrangoiz, aka DJ Fitness, passing the baton to me, and then me to SiSi, closing things out with Terence Tabeau. Immaculate attention to detail in lighting, décor, and flow—it felt dreamlike. We were there from beginning to end.

Photos are not allowed in the premiss, but I sneaked this one in. ;)

Some music highlights played by the crew…

Pablo

Terence

The aftermath.

So many great moments in this trip, not mentioned the food - thanks Chef Gio for feeding me and the crew. What would we do without you?

Alright, there is more to say about the month but I will save it for later.

A special announcement: I’m starting another party with friends! This time it’s a smaller, new party series called Blow—focused on keeping things fresh and intimate rather than reinventing the wheel.

It all started with the idea of not announcing a lineup and returning to the DIY roots: a secret, smaller location where you can just hang out with your friends.

The first one is on March 21st, and you can RSVP here: www.blowme.nyc

Capacity is limited, so get your ticket soon! Expect great sound, a relaxed atmosphere, and snacks/breakfast by a local favorite around 5–6 AM for those who stay through the night.

News

Small self promo here, my friend Thomas Venker from Kaput Magazine interviewed me about music and the NYC scene. It is a fun little read if you are having a coffee.

I will try to be more elaborative in my letters and share some of my travel experiences.

This past month, I’ve been traveling in Australia and Japan. To say the least, I’m incredibly grateful for all the friends and people who made my travels possible. I learned so much and am feeling inspired by all the music I heard throughout the festivals, parties, and listening bars.

Anyway, here’s a tiny recap.

The trip started in sizzling-hot Australia and made its way to winter in Tokyo.

NYE at Diega was magical, located this year at the ski resort on Mt. Baw Baw. A unique location for a bush doof with an incredible lineup, mixed with some international surprises. All around, the festival had a very techy + housey vibe, immaculate.

Highlight sets were Zjoso, Ambien Baby, Tech World, Ed Kent, Vlada and lots more.

After Diega, I spent some time in Melbourne detoxing with the boys (Zach & Nick) with some occasional hangouts with our girls Hiroko and Emkay. Some track selections inspired by the hangouts here, on repeat.

The Human Body by Prince, 1996

So Tight by Rick James, 1988 a synth-pop funky tune.

and one more banger here… DJ Hell featuring Alan Vega, Listen To The Hiss released in 2003.

Ended the travels in Australia with a quick trip to Perth’s best beach and to play the sticky ’80s Pleasure Principle party, run by a lovely crew. Thank you, Mia and Tom. This was followed by the first Madmoon party, beautifully crafted by James (Greville) and Jackson (Cousin). It was the perfect way to end the travels and sum up my tour of Australia.

Japan—Tokyo came next. A change of pace, and the travel distance by flight was about nine hours. Worth it tho.

I arrived way too early to check into my hotel, but powered through and adventured around Tokyo with Mr. Nightmoves, Seth Magoon. We grabbed ramen and went straight to Lighthouse Records.

The EP that was playing in the background at Lighthouse Records while the digging was happening.

Had the pleasure of playing the Mitsuki basement with the coolest, Mayurashka, lostbaggage & 鏡民. This was followed by a long 6-hr journey to Hakuba in Nagano the next day, the town where all the snow and skiing action happens. Thankfully I had a relaxing dip in an onsen before the gig.

My friend Yanny organized a fun night at an old onsen—now turned club—called DJ Bar Steam, during a blizzard. Never had this experience before but we had an amazing crowd that kept the party going until 8 a.m.

This wraps up the trip more to come soon :) now some self promo.

If you missed it here it is, my radio show on Room 303 in Tokyo. Listen for some good grooves ;)

Announcements

Honey Trap is happening this Thursday, February 5th, at Signal in Brooklyn. Come early, stay late—the usual protocol.

I would love to see all my friends there, as this will be our second-year anniversary with a very juicy lineup. We have Matias Aguayo going b2b with my favorite, Justin Strauss, and a great guest from Berlin, SiSi. A night filled with depth and sweat—perfect for a winter night.

On the same weekend we have fun collaborative party with Verbs in Miami. If your in town do not miss it. 🫦

This year was beautiful. I’m thankful for everyone who has supported me and believed in Honey Trap. All the friends — you know who you are. ;)

I have a small selection of mixes, music releases and books I enjoyed this 2025. Hope you find pleasure and discovery here. This is a selection I put together, along with contributions from the Honey Trap family.

Music

Forge News

New mix out for Forge by yours truly.

01/ The Mix:
The mix is built on restraint and a steady descent as opposed to a strike, not through force, but a gentle driving course.

02/ The Object:
The sculpture released with this mix is inspired by all things Amelia Holt; feminine, seductive, alluring, and indulgent. Hard work need not be cruel when guided by pleasure, even the softest drop eventually hollows stone.

03/ The Artist:
Amelia Holt is one of New York’s most distinctive and forward-thinking selectors. Known for her instinctive command of rhythm, she crafts sets that fuse percussive intensity with experimental edge — moving fluidly through broken beats, leftfield techno, sharp electro, and the occasional dose of delusional krautrock. Her approach feels both studied and spontaneous, transforming dancefloors into deeply physical, culture-bending experiences.

I love the winter season in NYC—the holiday spirit, the energy, everything about that time, the pumpkin spice lattes. Everyone loosens up and lets go. A good time can never go wrong. Don’t worry, I won’t get too deep here; this is just my segue into why you should come to the party.

Well this is the last Honey Trap affair of the year and the last time before we all go on our beautiful time off or perhaps to our next DJ tour to Australia… idk ¯\(ツ)/¯.

And now, lets give it up for our guests.

The secret ingredient to a good party is always a local legend. On my list for a while has been Ron Like Hell—a seasoned DJ and music curator with 26+ years of experience, known for eclectic sets spanning obscure international sounds, techno, synth, house, acid, and disco. Ron craft textured, psychedelic soundscapes that won’t let you escape the dance floor. You will beg to stay anyway.

Our other guest, all the way from Berlin is, Budino. Some of us have heard her name here, there and everywhere, but she finally makes her way to Nowadays. The long awaited session by the former Cocktail d’Amore resident will be a treat. 🍊

Followed by friends and residents—including myself—and an awaited B2B with Second Contact and 98dots.

Start Time: 8PM - $15 @ door before 10 pm ;)

Tickets Here

Get acquainted…

I had some time to spare and asked Second Contact and 98dots what they are plotting for the b2b. The answer was a mix of “we don’t know yet and maybe this”…

Don’t go Shazaming ;)

Alright, until next time and hope to see you all in the city.

Honey Trap 💋

On November 1st Honey Trap returns to the city at Night Club 101, formerly known as the legendary Pyramid Club from the ’80s. Acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, performance artists John Kelly and Joey Arias, and drag icons Lady Bunny and RuPaul once walked through those doors—and now, it’s our turn. Costumes are welcomed at your own risk.

This time around, the residents aka myself and Second Contact—invited London-based producer and DJ Kasra V. Kasra and I go way back to 2022, when I was touring in the UK. He kindly invited Yumi and me to do a guest show for his NTS Radio program. It remains one of my favorite memories form those travels. Since then, we’ve stayed in touch, and now I represent him as one of my artists at House of Ill Fame.

Our other guest is Miles Mercer, a New York local I’ve been following for a while now due to his awesome taste in post-punk, new wave, and all kinds of ’80s nonsense. He also co-runs the great Accessory Records and has sent me some unforgiving dance-floor weapons.

Listen here:

There’s no denying the party on November 1st will bring a great mix of flavors in a legendary space, a good little adventure into the city—good vibes will surround the dancers. I hope you don’t miss out! Keeping it super simple this time: advance tickets $15, door $20.

Start time: 10pm, come early & stay late

October 2nd marks the Honey Trap: Dinner Edition in collaboration with archivechives & Food Pyramid. For a while now, I’ve wanted to explore the space where food and music come together in one place—with a dance guaranteed by the end of a four-course meal.

Over the past few months, I’ve been looking for like-minded people—specifically chefs who understand a dance floor as much as they enjoy making food. That search led me to archivechives & Food Pyramid aka Luke Vu and Miles Strachan. I first met them earlier this summer, were we collaborated for a rooftop Honey Trap party in May, where they prepared a short, sweet and well executed menu for the dancers.

This time, though, I wanted to push things further and showcase their skills through a seated dinner—an evening where people who love music and are open to exploring taste can come together and have some deep conversations.

A little bit about them…

Luke Vu is a chef with a background in Southern and Vietnamese cooking. He has led restaurant takeovers at Ella Funt and Juku, cooked lunch at Sustain-Release, and catered for a Gagosian artist. Luke approaches cooking as a way to bring people together in a moment of commensality.

Food Pyramid NYC is the esoteric consumption entity of Chef and Butcher Miles Strachan, independently and collaboratively creating food with the intention to highlight the exciting and progressive food producers of NY and its neighbors.

And now the menu…

Small Bites
Scotch Eggs – pork + shrimp, leek, chili-herb hollandaise
Glass Noodles – dashi, ginger-scallion granita

Appetizer
Beef Carpaccio – herb salad, toasted rice, lime

Main
Butterflied Branzino – annatto, citrus, chili, masa tortillas

Dessert
Honeycomb Ice Cream – froyo, olive oil

(¬‿¬) wine included.

Music by Second Contact, Conduit, DJ Healthy & myself.

Dinner 19:00 → Onwards
Dance 21:00 → Late
At the Honey’s Brooklyn Roof

$70 – dinner & wine 19:00
$15 – dance 21:00

Flowers by Pip and Poppy
Handmade ceramics by Wunjo Pottery
Menu design by Pete Wallace

Tickets

And now for some music.

For the latest episode of Honey Trap on Kiosk Radio, the vibe leans on the late-90s & early-2000s era of synthy electronica, downtempo, trip hop, with touches of chillout lounge. A smokey nightcap soundscape.

Little tease of Mr. Healthy here ;)

See you there ;)

We’re very excited for Honey Trap’s (and Magda’s) debut at Nowadays… New York City’s favorite dance floor.

Doors open at 8 PM, we will have limited amount of Honey Trap membership cards and merch between 8 PM and 9 PM so plan to arrive early.

Those with a membership card can show up receive discounted & more favorable ticket price at the door.

Tickets

After a European voyage from Berlin’s concrete heat to Helsinki’s fevered beat, Honey Trap returns to NYC -- bringing four icons to Nowadays' hallowed floor. Making their long-awaited debut...

MAGDA, a legend and an irrefutable force in the electronic scene. Born in Poland and raised in Detroit, Magda has absorbed the diverse influences of her surroundings, shaping a richly cultured perspective—one that finds beauty and potential in even the most overlooked and forgotten places. With an open mind, she approaches her craft by blending deep, driving techno with subtle melodic textures, creating immersive, hypnotic journeys.

PLANET B, Gabriela resident, is no stranger to New York dance floors. His foundations are house, disco, funk and soul, but very little is off limits. And our beautiful residents...

AMELIA HOLT, Honey Trap boss, percussive wet funk provocateur, and agent of all left-field force, one of Brooklyn’s most distinctive selectors, and one who does not ask for permission.

SECOND CONTACT, Honey Trap mainstay, mix series pathfinder and metalsmith at forge.fm is an emerging DJ inspired by those who know the rules well enough to break them. Behind the decks, he oscillates between downtempo, dark wave, and progressive trance exploring the idea between restraint and release. Find us among the vapors.

See you there xx

xx,

Honey Trap

Thank you to everyone involved in my journey & I’m looking forward to more. <3

Japan has been really lovely, I am one week in and there is still lots to cover - if anyone is planning a trip happy to chat on some recommendations that have been passed along by other friends and some personal ones. ;)

Anyway, I want to share some tracks I been digging this summer — some I enjoyed playing out, others more suited for a listening experience. As always, it's a mix of old, new and some finds from Tokyo record shopping.

Also, I’d love to share some of our upcoming events and merch drops. 🍯

On August 14th, we will be hosting our first Honey Trap night at Nowadays in Ridgewood. Yes, we are thrilled.

Inviting the one and only, Magda. And your local favorites, Planet B, Second Contact & myself.

If you came to our last party on the roof and received a membership card, feel free to show it at the entrance to access a discounted $15 ticket :)

The remixes push the original’s experimental edge, adding layers of intricate textures and rhythmic complexity while maintaining a deep yet hypnotic vibe.

Arkajo / Dorisburg & Efraim Kent - AniaraWL04 [Aniara]

It is all about the B-side, minimalism and ambient influences, while the hypnotic, slowly evolving grooves build a deep, immersive atmosphere.

TC LK by TC LK [Phase Group]

Phase Group's first release of 2025, TC LK, marks the debut album by label founders MR TC and Lo Kindre, exploring darker, heavier territory with mind-bending sound design, warped basslines, and dub-influenced rhythms, blending club-ready tracks with experimental, otherworldly atmospheres.

Beatrice Melissa - Secret

The debut album by Beatrice M. and Melissa Weikart merges two distinct identities into a single, enigmatic, and androgynous character, blending genres like club music, ambient, and trip-hop, all while evoking a serene, otherworldly atmosphere. Pure perfection. ✨

Purelink - Faith [Peak Oil]

For their second album, the NYC-based trio blends ethereal soundscapes, ambient dub, live instrumentation, and introspective vocals.

Funk Porcini - Saxathon [Ninja Tune]

Very saxy-music. 🎷

Quelza - Pensa Poetico [Dekmantel]

This new release blends intricate soundscapes, adventurous rhythms, and dancefloor propulsion into a dynamic, boundary-pushing exploration of breakbeats, IDM, and atmospheric depth.

Tauceti - Emeraude [Non Series]

Another 10/10 trippy & hypnotic EP by the French producer, Tauceti.

YHWH Nailgun - 45 Pounds [AD 93]

A ferocious and unrelenting album that fuses experimental rock with an intense sense of urgency. The experimental NYC rock scene is more than alive here with a beautiful overtone of chaos.

Nuke Watch - Worlds Gone M.A.D. [Trilogy Tapes]

An oldie but goodie, omnivorous, dub-diffused, modal electronic jazz skronk by Chris Hontos and Aaron Anderson's Nuke Watch ensemble Nuke Watch ensemble, hitting square between the zonked eyes of Ka Baird, Spencer Clark hallucinations, Treader curios, or Drone Operatør audness.

Jan Jelinek - Kosmischer Pitch [FAITICHE]

Jan Jelinek’s Kosmischer Pitch returns in a 20th anniversary edition, offering a remastered version of his 2005 classic, infused with previously unreleased material, marking a detour from his earlier sample-based works with a hypnotic, motorik kosmiche sound that echoes krautrock and post-rock influences.
