This kind of hurts my heart, in a good way! With its breakbeat house feel that blew my teenage mind and got me into the dance scene in the first place. Damcing around my house to it just isht the same haha

White Shadows is an alltime percy! This mix is a masterclass <3

Alex Downey Live at Infinite Space - Birmingham 2022-04-02

Keeping things closer to home as we often do, we're psyched to welcome Lane Split with two-hours of delectable deep cuts and dubby atmospheres. Also known as one half of the Naarm/Melbourne based duo Handle Soundsystem, David is someone who appreciates great sound, and has been working on a variety of sound systems for local parties and large scale music festivals, all the while refining his own exquisite taste for classic deep cuts and dreamy psychedelic excursions.

We really can't speak highly enough of this mix, a deep subliminal odyssey packed full of uplifting 90s tech house and mind massaging dub grooves. Now sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

2022-05-07 Live at Acido Notte (Dynamo Dreesen, SVN)

During summer lockdown 2021, it was forbidden to have dancing at parties. And so when exemplary north-east London record shop Hidden Sounds asked me to DJ at a sitting-down event, it seemed like the perfect workaround, and a wonderful excuse to explore some deep corners of my record collection. 
Think blankets, incense, rugs, chess, cushions, fungi, tea and 50 people laying around in a cosy space for a psychedelic, horizontal, evening listening session - pure bliss!
Here is the whole thing.

Paquita Gordon - Terraforma 2022 1PM Mix

We are blessed to welcome our first artist to our new Podcast series. We say welcome dear XDB and thanks for contributing this beautiful vinyl only mix!

XDB is Kosta Athanassiadis – German by birth and in residence, with Greek parentage. His roots are in the central German town of Göttingen. It was here that he began DJing in the early nineties; where he worked in a record shop; where he ran a radio show for five years; and the base from which he established the Metrolux record label in 2006. 

For many people, it was at this point that XDB appeared on their radar.  He has no shortage of technical skill but it’s his selection that truly shines – putting the music itself at the forefront, letting songs breathe when need be, and delivering plenty of head-scratching ‘what the hell is this track?’ moments. It’s on this that Kosta has built his reputation. 

When it comes to producing, Kosta favours a slow and steady work rate, opting to focus on quality control rather than record shop ubiquity. His DJing keeps him in the public eye, but one gets the sense that XDB prefers to operate in the shadows. There’s a refreshing lack of gimmickry to his approach – keeping it low-key allows him to be judged solely on the basis of talent. Arguably, it’s an innate quality – the way he wants to play it; the way that brings him most satisfaction, but it’s helped establish his reputation as an artist of considerable merit, winning the approval his audience and peers, alike.

WORKSHOP 32 INFO
by Pjotr Jezernitski
Stripped back and bony funk. The residue and distant memories of a party.
Closing your eyes, still not dark. A lighting rig under your lids. A night lasting 20
years, falling asleep with your favourite song on repeat. The deconstructed,
untangled memory lingers in your system. What you hear are the remnants of a
social gathering and its body movements.
KMOS. The fog machines are gone, the free deconstructed thinking laid out bare.
Fourth album. The white noise funk still here, 4 to the floor and gnarly basslines.
The jazz but the tight, the funk but the taut. The austere but the flow. The
instruments, sinuous and intricate. The deconstructed dancefloor. Sawed up bits,
sawed up pieces. The drums the strings the claps the sharpness. Rearranged,
picked apart. organized for a new day. A new idea. A new blueprint. A brave
new clear elusive promise. The love in the strict. The strict but the mess. The strict
but the lie. A promise.
Drifting through a sleepless world. The rent, the eyes, the mirror the scrolling the
daylight, and the gravel in your eyes. Sounds of endless nights long lasting days,
reality and visions, blurred and frazzled. The eavesdropping the neighbour the
conversations the sleep. The fear and the joy and the new that I project onto you.
The loopy sound of sirens. The joy of the sun. The field, the horizon, the light, the
smoke. Xeroxed memories are now our new. The love the dream. The sleep the
wake. The wish the longing. The promise the fear. What once was promised
We will reclaim

KASSEM MOSSE NEEDS TO FEEL MIX

It may not be for everybody but Dub Techno when it's done well, is up there, in the higher echelons of electronic music. You wont really get it until you hear it on a proper sound system,  it just doesn't work on a phone or laptop. You cant flick through it either.  You have to let the tracks breathe and do their thing.  Put it on loud and let it do its thing

The Space Between the Bass

A new Safe season has begun. This one turned out slightly different and longer than anticipated since I have so much to say. Wanted to highlight a tiny bit of the amazing music out there - almost 5 hours of different styles, tempos, old records and forthcoming ones. Just how I personally like a mix to be!

BIG thanks to the following people for keeping me inspired, their music and continuous support:

Natal, Milan, Mathias, Mette, Simon, Nils, August, JR, Julius, Fergus, Morten, FH, Martin & Mads (Probably missed someone, but you are not forgotten!)

Last but not least - thank you for listening.

C.K - Safe Radio S05E01

Alex Downey has been supporting the UK electronic underground movement as a DJ, record-shop manager and now radio presenter for nearly 20 years. Based in Brighton on the south coast of England, he is arguably the city's most prominent purveyor of all things Techno, where he is a regular fixture at the premier high profile events, alongside acts such as Underground Resistance and Derrick May.  
As the main driving force behind the counter at Brighton's highly respected and much-missed [covert] record store & web-site, he was instrumental in bringing quality Techno & House to the city - and beyond, developing along the way a boundless knowledge, vast record collection and infectious passion for the music that's unmatched by most. 
His musical taste & experience speaks for itself and his nocturnal activities behind the decks have earned him much respect and a great reputation amongst the global electronic community. He has been invited to perform at many key events such as ‘Free-rotation’ in Wales,'The Big Beat Boutique' & 'Stompa-phunk' in Brighton, 'Retro_vert' & 'Wiggle' in London, ‘Labyrinth’ festival & ‘Haus-Tek’ in Tokyo, and at many other far-flung destinations, hundreds of smaller parties and long-forgotten club nights that rocked hard, and kept the lifeblood of the scene pumping. He is currently resident DJ at 'Our Friends Electric' in Brighton as well as the 'Split' / 'B A L A N C E' parties in London where he has recently shared the stage with Red-shape, Dave Clarke, Robert Hood, Luke Slater and Carl Craig, to name a few. You can also hear him spin on the ‘Split Show’ - a globally syndicated online radio show with a large number of keen listeners worldwide that he co-presents alongside techno legend Ben Sims.
Alex’s energetic style and enthusiasm for all things deep & electronic are sure to bring some magic to the party and are matched only by his razor-sharp DJ skills. One of the UK’s treasures, solidly and confidently attending to business while other media-hyped storms have come and gone.
