Mix number 22 comes from a wonderful DJ who is based in Mulubinba (Newcastle), N3BULA / @n3bula_aus. For this mix, N3BULA (aka Natalie) has put together a re-interpretation of a club set she was set to play this month, which was unfortunately cancelled due to restrictions on dancefloors. We're fortunate enough to be able to put this mix out, so that you can re-live the big dancefloor energy that Natalie channels via this mix.

Thank you for this epic mix Natalie!! <3

Pilotting the next installment of the Virtual Utopia series is Seven Hills Records (@seven-hills-records), a dual-cored unit residing right in the central processor of the UK, London. Whether it be their DJ sets, or their stellar lineup of releases as a label, these lot really know how to propel you into the future and past at the same time.

This hour long simulated audio-experience takes us from walking endless corridors of cold brushed steel; to wandering the metallic planes of a dusted-chrome retro-futurist world, somewhere on an outdated version of a open-world virtual reality, all whilst being seamlessly embedded with earthy, grounding, organic sub-frequencies that remind us we are still actually living beings.

Travelling through internet cables, with the squeaks and bleeps of passing electrons. Quantum delays and such speeds that cause blurred vision. Groove-infused electronic signals destined for a far alien reciever. All this combined with the immaculate taste and organic sound of Seven Hills makes this an hour of pure 5-star time-decoration. 

You've taken the right path.

Enjoy.

Shud'a Looked Back with a Smile No (Original Mix)

Buy on Beatport

Pysh’s Find the Rhythm EP, out now on Octopus Recordings, is a two-track triumph that channels the ecstatic spirit of ’90s rave into a modern techno juggernaut, with Lesal’s electrifying vocals as the beating heart.
The title track, Find the Rhythm, is a pulsating anthem—its sinuous, groove-soaked bassline and crisp, kinetic percussion lay the foundation for Lesal’s voice: a soaring, adrenaline-charged throwback to warehouse raves, radiating pure, hands-up euphoria. It’s less about brute force and more about infectious momentum, pulling listeners into a hypnotic sway that feels both timeless and urgent.
That Groove, the EP’s second offering, doubles down with a deeper, funkier bassline that rolls like a tidal wave, cradling Lesal’s vibrant, rave-recalling vocal hooks amid shimmering synth flourishes.
Both tracks capture the raw, communal joy of dance music’s golden era while pushing forward with Pysh’s meticulous production flair.
