"Relationships are a huge part of making and sharing music for me, so any mix I make is going to be heavy on friends. The people in local underground scenes are a huge source of inspiration and support for what I do, and being a part of the ongoing dialogue of a musical community is basically my whole reason for making music and running a label these days. I recently returned from celebrating 10 Y...

"Overall i've tried to keep things simple and it's mainly just tracks i've enjoyed over the last year. It's a bit of an afters affair, bouncy, euphoric stuff to wag your finger to whilst sprawled out on a comfy sofa/bit of carpet/the 53 back to plumstead." @joeyfontaine

"For this one I made a huge rekordbox playlist (800 tracks) with my favorite bassy stuff around 140 BPM, old & new, lot's of dubstep and grime. Then I played with tracks for a while, picked up the ones that really resonates with me atm and this is the 3h result of it." https://soundcloud.com/etherwerkz https://soundcloud.com/iggydope

Still Processing, from Kris Vango's latest output, Messenger (Virgo Edition) Messenger (Virgo Edition) Music for the Planet Mercury Music for the Planets Project www.krisvango.com https://soundcloud.com/krisvango

"This mix is my approach to an atmospheric opening set, beginning with a passage of ambient music and gradually moving through downtempo breaks, elegant tech house, hypnotic techno and more, culminating with an understated 135 BPM banger or two. I performed this set live in San Francisco this past Friday and re-recorded it at home after listening back and making various tweaks to improve the flow....

The first in a series of self-releases from Off-Switch Audio founder Sam ULG. ‘On Rotate’ comes through with the stompy UK bass rollage, bringing forth a slightly darker energy. Deep textural atmospherics, and a catchy back and forth of synth chatter, with a backbone of percussive sub-weight movement. Available on all digital platforms from the 1st of November. https://samulg.bandcamp.com/ https:/...

"This mix took me a year to find the time/inspiration to put together. It follows the same style UK genre-hopping style synonymous with the likes of Ben UFO, Joy O, etc that inspired us to create Mantissa in the first place. Thanks to Oroko Radio for their patience, and for hosting this mix. Shoutout Oroko Radio too, they are smashing it in Ghana, a country very close to my heart, and worldwide. T...

"Recorded this mix right after a brutal journey from Paris to JFK where I got quite sick. Summer was transitioning into autumn, inspiring me to dive into some deeper and darker flavors here. Still kept it cheeky though ;)" @pbnstrawberryjam

"This is a mix for an evening after a long humid day. I felt sticky recording this and I think matches that vibe. Played around with raspy and colder sounds than usual, while containing warmth with the help of dubby bass lines and soft vocal samples. Quite some tracks in here that I haven't stopped playing in the clubs since the beginning of summer." @castro-nena

In May, longtime Vief collaborator halle o’malley got in touch with an idea. She’d come across the Instagram of a 17-year old Palestinian musician called Samih, who’s life has been torn apart as a result of Israel's recent onslaught on the Gaza strip. Their home destroyed, Samih and his family were forced to flee to a refugee camp in Rafah. During their displacement, Samih has gone viral posting v...

"Squidbrain lands on W133, spicing up your summer break with some breaky tunes! The Berlin via Philly artist presents 4 originals on his digital EP entitled "Time Theft". This track, "Levo", starts off with distorted guitar-like sounds and dissonant mystical melodies.

"The idea behind this mix was to build a space for the listener to relax into. We used some of our own music as a starting point and moved between pieces by others that share both a mellowness and interesting textures."

“This mix showcases the sound I have been digging in the past months. Curating among freshly new and dusty old school records I have been collecting, I am fusing the groove and sexyness of the 90s Progressive House and Trance with a bit of the harshness that often resembles EBM/Industrial. This results in a unique blend with a dark twisted edge - an edge that I fell in love with!” Maneta is a Port...

"Through the creation of this mix, I believe I was able to clarify the general framework of the direction I had been thinking about for several years. And I expressed it in a form that I am able to do now. This “concern about my direction” was also linked to my life and work. And I believe that the expressive activity of DJing is a mirror of my life. I am grateful for dance music and its culture,...
