Melancholic rave tracks from the Imaginary Friend party starter. Interview with DJ Fart In The Club (@2shy2dj): melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/dj-fart-in-the-club About the mix.. "I developed the first part of the mix based on the feeling I got every time walking out of my parents place during my stay in Seoul. It was this peaceful apartment complex surrounded by mountains and looking at the tall...

Ambient house moods from south London multi-label head @sebwildblood. Interview: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/seb-wildblood About the mix.. "This one actually is the first in a while that I’ve put no label bits in. It’s just a bunch of tracks from labels and artists I’m digging at the moment. I generally take a lot of time to record a mix but this one actually slipped out real fast, which I rec...

Hazy atmospheres from Pacific Rhythm's latest downtempo don @unknown-mobile. Interview: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/unknown-mobile "I recorded this mix at the @n10-as radio studio, and tried to keep it pretty chill, even though it ended up being a little tripped out at points. The 2nd track in the mix is definitely a special one to mention, it’s a new project I am working on with Daniel Rincon...

Wavey modern Italo from the Milan based hardware duo. Interview with @modularproject: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/modular-project "We recorded this mix to make people stand up and dance!

Two hours of bumpin' moods and grooves with the Quartet Series boss. Interview with @nachtbraker here: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/nachtbraker About the mix.. "I recorded it at home on 2 Technics SL1210 MKII and an Allen & Heath Xone:23 mixer. It’s about two hours of vinyl that I recently bought and have been playing out at gigs. I’ve been spending a bit too much money on records lately, so do...

Fast moving techno from Dublin's @rkitt! Interview: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/r-kitt About the mix.. "Lots of melody and energy. It was the first mix I recorded with a plan for a long time which was exciting for me. I do a monthly radio show on Dublin Digital Radio but I never plan it so to approach a mix with a clear idea was refreshing. I suppose I wanted it to be immersive and somewhat mu...

A journey into time and space with Melbourne based live duo @hybridmn. Interview: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/hybrid-man "This recording is taken from our live show in Sydney for Heavenly x Vivid.

Our live sets are inf...

Spirited house from one of Israel's most soulful selectors. Interview with @dj-dasco: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/dasco "I recorded this mix very recently here in Berlin and I really enjoyed doing it!

A wild RAMZi fusion of tribal dance tracks and lush new Canadian rhythms. Full interview with @ramzihouti: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/dj-fati "In this mix there is many tracks by my fellow Canadian producers, unreleased Nap, Ex-Terrestrial, D. Tiffany, and from Perishing Thirst. There’s a good inspiring music scene for sure in Canada, I just hope this community will be more supportive toward...

Late 90s tech house and breaks via Dublin's Fio Fa. Interview with @fiofahhh: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/fio-fa "In the past few months I’ve been coming across a lot of sick tech house and breakbeat from the late 90s/early 2000s so this mix is full of that buzz, a couple new ones and one from me which is forthcoming!"

The P&D label head and long time dublab host soundtracks a morning run through the mountains. Interview with @parkhar: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/parker "I usually make mixes that I can run to. I find a lot of similarities between running and dancing (a run and a party have much the same trajectories, in my opinion) and I usually check a mix on a jog before sharing with anyone else. As far as...

Sunny day selects from LA's Damon Eliza Palermo. Interview with @magic_touch melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/magic-touch "I did this mix a week or so ago with Melbourne Deepcast in mind.

Earth-shaking house and techno from two of Sligo's finest exports.

Oh and there’s some unreleased bits from us in there too."

Contemplative grooves from the deep digging NTS host. Interview with @ohpeach: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/peach "I’ve been playing a lot of club sets recently so it was fun to channel my energy into something more deep, and play out tracks I wouldn’t play in the club. I tried my best to channel some contemplative summer-like feelings in the short period of spring like weather we had here in L...

Wonky house and breakbeats from London's Holding Hands boss. Interview with @desertsoundcolony: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/desert-sound-colony "Well I basically grabbed some records out of the selection that I played at P Bar and got recording.

Driving electronics from the German DFA producer. Interview with @perel-music: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/perel "I worked on this to include some of my music, as well as some things that have inspired me recently.

Space techno from Copenhagen via ØEN REC.'s third wife. Interview with @333wife333: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/third-wife "In general I’m happy to be a bit more eclectic on this one. There are tracks from the fast techno scene of Copenhagen, but also from the house community of my city, which are styles that are not often mixed together."

Crazed rhythms from a Red Light Radio favourite. Interview with @marylakeworld: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/mary-lake "I recorded this mix at home. Winter arrived and although I’m not a fan of this season, it does have a certain mystery, coldness and darkness to it which I can appreciate. I selected tracks that reflect this feeling. In my opinion, a genre of music that lends itself to this moo...

Liquid house hypnotics from Montreal's @naffrecordings boss. Interview with @priori-ties: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/priori "It’s a mix of old and new, with some forthcoming bits by RAMZi, Ex-T, Ambien Baby and Jump Source, as well as a new solo thing. Some of that should be delivered via NAFF in the coming months."

Soulful three deck mastery from the Swiss don. Interview with @deetron + tracklist: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/deetron "There are a lot of my favorites of 2018 in there as well as a fair bit of classic records that I just can’t seem to get out of the bag. As usual I’m striving to pick records from the more melodic side of techno with the odd housey bits thrown in. I basically love all the rec...

Deep ocean blends from the @kalaharioystercult shucker in chief. Interview with @reycolino: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/rey-colino "This mix is basically what I play these days – I actually recorded it while in a session preparing for a gig in Brussels.

Merciless broken sonics from the UFO Station boss. Interview with @johannaknutsson: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/johanna-knutsson "Oh, I wanted it to be a bit of everything that I enjoy playing.

High-powered cosmic euphoria from the rising Italian DJ. Interview with @budino: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/budino "I tried to do a mix which could represent my music style development in the last months. One of the special records in there (that I never played actually) is Susana Estrada, repressed by Disco Segreta (Original is from 1980, just on tape). This was the “soundtrack” of a sexy li...

Slinky subaquatic electro from the Oscillate co-curator. Interview with @katemiller: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/kate-miller "This mix is pretty indicative of what I am playing out at the moment. Lots of moody electro and pretty varying in speed. I’m really enjoying playing with tempo at the moment and am hunting down as much footwork as I can that fits in with the other things I play. A coupl...
