Andy Martin (@andy-martin) is one of my favourite musical discoveries from the last few years. A while back, after hearing an iconic tune he made called "Revolution" featuring Lee Scratch Perry, I was excited about his music, and also learning more about him as an artist. Andy is based in Guadalajara, Mexico, with Jamaican and Mexican roots.

Whilst I was touring Mexico, we shared a few gigs together, and all the locals referred to him as "the best in the country", which I can completely understand. Since discovering Andy's music I've been hooked on his productions, an incredible fuse of old school and new school dub techno, underpinned by influences from his heritage which flourish in the form of exciting percussion & unique, emotional melodies. 

On top of this, Andy is very humble, and  a very talented DJ, and I'm super happy to host him in the series. 

If you haven't heard his music, go check it out! So much to discover

Thanks again Andy <3

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Don’t be shy—propose yourself and reach out to people, venues, and collectives. Don’t let the fear of rejection hold you back. You won’t get a response from everyone, but you don’t need to. One positive reply acknowledging your work is enough to get started

About the mix: The mix was recorded on the 5th of October 2024 in Berlin, at our queer day-time party called Apero Club at Crack Bellmer. Apero Club is a co-run event between the collectives Pillow Princess and What a Playground. It is a laid-back, community-driven queer event. We start during the day with open decks and as we ease into the night our invited artists take over to set the mood within the spectrum of house sounds. 

Our mix rounds across the spectrum of progressive house and trance. It is a b2b between Kidcat and Broccoli, the two co-founders of pillow princess. We regularly play together, and the mix you will hear here is a collection of records we've been gathering from shops across Europe. We usually shop and share our sounds, so mixing them together was extremely fun as we could smoothly create a journey together through progressive soundscapes.
