Like all the best sets, the bookends are what hold it together: an extended edit of Carl Craig’s “Domina” remix to blast us off, and the one-two punch of Bronski Beat’s “Smalltown Boy” and John Holt’s “ For the Love of You” to bring us coasting gently back to earth. The aforementioned Nisennenmondai cut makes for a scintillating blend with the Prodigy’s “Your Love,” of all things, before new releases from Pangaea, Nick León, and Floating Points bring us back up to date with bass music and UK techno. A while later-past a new cut from Daphni, an old one from Mathew Jonson, and an absolute chestnut from John Acquaviva-a wiggly acid remix of Kelis’ “Milkshake” is another unabashed crowd pleaser. Perhaps the first indicator of just how fun the London DJ’s Dekmantel set is going to be comes scarcely eight minutes in, when Cardi B’s “Money” a cappella drops into a rubbery tech-house groove and goes bouncing along it for what feels like eons, earwormy as a playground chant. Not many DJs could convincingly fit Japanese noise minimalists Nisennenmondai and ’90s progressive house in the same set, but that kind of range and audacity is part of what makes Call Super such a joy to behold behind the decks.
