Now uploaded to Soundcloud, here is one of my favourite guest mixes from past years for my pals at the wonderful reissue label Discs of Fun and Love... 

Here is what label co-founder Miche had to say about the mix...

"Second in our mix series is our good friend Adam Wickens, aka Admin. This guy is the cream of the crop when it comes to modern soul & disco and a great friend of ours, he’s recently released a lovely little 7″ which is an essential buy. From Bristol direct to you, we are overjoyed to bring you an hour of Admin." – Miche

And here is a bit of what I had to say about the mix...

“With this mix i’ve tried to put together some of the music that i really feel and that i hope that can lift some spirits out there. with friends and family at the heart, tracks that remind me of people, places, times and hopefully futures. I had a lot of fun with it and am very grateful for the opportunity to mix records for my friends at Discs of Fun and Love.
Enjoy the fireworks, ya mas” – Admin

"A special adventure into lesser-known funky AOR, '80s gospel, breezy jazz and heavy synth funk records by Bristol-based DJ and producer, Admin, to celebrate Mr Bongo's takeover on Worldwide FM."

https://worldwidefm.net/episode/worldwide-fm-takeover-mr-bongo-w-admin

@mrbongo @worldwide-fm

Towards the end of August 2024, I was thrilled to be invited to contribute to the Mr Bongo takeover of WWFM alongside a top roster of DJs and selectors including the likes of Luke Una, Sven Wunder, Cosmo Sofi and many others. It was a pleasure to be invited to assist in celebrating the amazing work that has been done at Mr Bongo HQ over the years. Please enjoy this special mix put together to mark the occasion, diving into deep soulful and funky sounds reminiscent of the high quality output we've all grown to know and love from the Mr Bongo camp. x

WWFM X MR BONGO - ADMIN GUEST MIX

"What sort of festival would dare to host a stage where there was a strictly vinyl policy on which only 45s of thirty years age or more could be played? Turns out it’s Farmfestival in Somerset, UK – more precisely on the 19:20 Soul Express to Discoland hosted by The Vinyl Social and the Vintage Mobile Disco. Bristol’s Admin is more than up for the task though and has raided his vintage wax for the raw materials to craft into a soulful mix"

ADMIN - FARMFEST '45s ONLY' MIX

This demo tape is a collaboration between keys wizard Charlie Tappin (Tappin) and Bristol beat-maker Adam Wickens (Admin). Recorded in an improvisational 'one take' style, latin drum breaks collide with uplifting piano stylings to create sonic muscle relaxant, helping you sail away... 

The 'Waves (Continuous Mix)' blends all tracks into one beat-tape experience, for your delight.

Steadily rising into the light is Admin. 

Admin has been consciously collecting and spreading musical grooves in Bristol for around a decade. Founder of the fabled clubnight, Slix Disco, and whitelabel edits series 'Community Disc-O’s’, the consistency and quality of his musical projects stand out amid a vibrant local scene whilst attracting attention from peers and fans alike from around the globe.

A studious beatsmith and producer, Admin draws influence from his record collection. Disco, Jazz, House and Hip Hop guide his own productions into different soulful and eclectic directions. With records released on Sleazy Beats, Boogie Cafe, Omena, Futureboogie and more, Admin's music is a testament to the bedroom producer ethos - making tracks which just as easily start the dancefloor as hypnotise the home-listener.

Whether DJing percussive-heavy disco and boogie, producing jazz-tinged house, jamming with drum machines and keyboards for beat tapes, scouring for new label releases or soothing listeners on independent radio, Admin executes everything with detail and affection. It's these attributes that make him an exciting talent and one to cast a forensic eye on.
