"These are the rhythms that stick in my head"

"The process of making this mix was a full time cosy feeling. It is 'radio programme-like' at the beginning, and later in the mix the focus turns to clubby tracks. It was a nice day and my good mood is sent to the listeners via this mix. I hope this little empathy parcel will reach your respective destinations." Tracklist: ARTISTS - TRACK (LABEL) Vegyn - Fake Life (PLZ Make It Ruins ) Linkwood & O...

"I made most of this mix during the roaring sun of the first lockdown in May, drinking beers in the garden with my top off, dreaming of tropical beaches, distant cultures and new adventures... finished just in time for Christmas! None of my experimental narrative bollocks here - just an hour of squelchy heaters that I hope will draw some smiles despite the reality around us. The sun will return an...

Bringing in Mix number 181 for our series we have Rhythmic Culture associate and Dekmantel Selectors veteran Narathip! In his own words: “During the lockdown I completely immersed myself into dark, hard and weird electronic music instead of tunes to listen to at home and relax to. I think that’s my way to get rid of all the frustrations of not being able to go to a club for a while. The mix contai...

"I wanted this mix to be unpredictable yet also familiar, most importantly being a journey through all the emotions I experience when immersing myself in electronic music. I wanted to create moments of contrast, as well as taking the opportunity to showcase some amazing talent. There's unreleased music from SHLVES, a POC electronic-pop trio based in NYC, as well as a track from The Radio Relay Lea...

"The idea is quite simple. I miss the club. I miss club music. I miss dancing, forgetting what time it is, staying up late for no reason, I miss everything nightlife has to offer: chance encounters, sweat, laughter, tears, hugs, leaving the house to lose yourself... and basically I just really wanted to BANG IT OUT so it’s a surprisingly fast mix hah! I’ve been buying lots of tracks and releases e...

"2020 has been brimming with a lot difficult energies, I’ve found music a lot more difficult to connect with on a whole. I decided that, instead of stressing about what kind of mix I wanted this to be, I would piece together the music I’ve been listening to… which in some ways reflects the chaos we’ve all been feeling. It changes up quite a lot but its fast and ready, a modern ode to the club." Mi...

"Nothing special to say tho, these are bunch of releases I’ve been listening for chilling purposes at home." @kraumur

Bringing in mix number 168 of our series we have Azuro! "I’m a Norwegian/German DJ & Producer mostly active in New York since I’m studying over there. If you catch me live I’ll likely be playing house and disco music. But when recording a mix at home there’s no crowd to entertain or vibe to go off of, so I use it as an opportunity to showcase my favourite tunes of the moment. For this mix that mea...

"Usually I don’t conceive online mixes the same way as live recordings where there can be tension and high level of energy. For podcasts, i like to create an idea or a concept where you can have the feeling that the mix evolves organically and progressively. For this one, I wanted something appropriate for daytime, something that you can listen in the middle of August, during the quietest times of...
