GUEST MIX SERIES

"For a mind-blowing, humorous style, stands Bill Mango. With a skilful understatement, he presents House with a pinch of disco, with organic percussion, with jazzy freedoms and above all lots of ass shaking soul. A real insider tip" - George Clooney. Hailing from Ireland, Bill Mango cut his teeth in Berlin. A verified party starter, he quickly became a regular feature on the line ups for the city'...

The house talent pouring out of Australia doesn't seem to be letting up at the moment, and this week's guestmix from Sondrio serves to reinforce the antipodean ranks further still. Heavily influenced by deeper jackin' sounds, with previous releases on Robsoul, Clipp.art and Refuge, the Canberra native provides us with 60min of bass slappin' grooves for instalment 267. With forthcoming releases on...

Sometimes it can be difficult to label a genre for our guest mixes, but not so here, It was very easy to select the genre in this instance... H.O.U.S.E.... From Berlin's first lady of house music no less.

Since then, he’s amassed an impressive discogra...

22 year old Diamond has been on our radar since his beautiful EP 'You Like Jazz?' dropped on Salin records at the start of the year. Of course, the answer to that question here at SB is, yes. So it makes perfect sense for us to invite him into the guest mix fold to flex those youthful jazzy muscles. Diamond... "I feel like I've recently gone through an evolution in my musical tastes. Listening to...

Up this week in the hottest of hotseats is Edmondson. Runner of the delectable label Lissoms and creator of some of the finest electronic music in the game in our humble opinion. He's served up a real standout mix this week for everyone. His recent remix for buddies Athlete Whippet was delightful, and his solo output on his label is something well worth the check-out, so make sure you do! So witho...

If Cerrone and Todd Terje rejoiced in coitus, Kx9000’s music would rise as their baby. His vision resonates in us: a silky dream filled with funk, where sexy reigns over his productions as a fierce but just ruler. Nurtured by Herbie Hancock, George Clinton or even Kraftwerk, Kx9000 approaches music as a desire, while also attempting to remain as personal as he can during the conception of his curr...

For the last 12 years, the way that Detroit-based DJ Pontchartrain has approached music, is centered around two things - learning and sharing. The result has been an interesting change up from the status quo of what comes out of the motor city. What started off as a project for edits and DJ tools has turned into a rediscovery of the roots of dance music. This shift in the last few years has pushed...

“I was one of the first cats bringing two reel-to-reels and spinning with them at the parties. I was bringing out two Pioneer 707s, doing the Hummingbird, Jacks, The Courtyard, etc. I’d bring a drum machine, too. I would make tracks right then as the party was going. Way before my guys Daft Punk and all of them were doing live gigs, I was doing that at the basement parties – just bringing drum mac...
