Happy 2025 to all the Idlers out there! We're back with our first mix missive of the year - and it's a doozy. When it comes to edit records, so much has already been done. These London-based boys decided to ditch the well-trod paths of Disco, Boogie & Soul to dive headfirst into the devil's maw that is American Rock & Country music, making some of the best we’d heard in awhile, subtly turning some of the stodgiest 60's & 70's shitkicker jams into glorious glitterball anthems. The fact that they're kickass DJ's to boot made this decision a no-brainer! Ladies & germs, please welcome to the Idle Cellars Mix Series stable - Flying Mojito Bros! These two fine gents were extremely gracious - if not eager! - to tackle the Idle Cellars brief and we all have hit the jackpot. Presenting "Americana Pacifica" - we would call it Balearica re-imagined through the lens of US AOR, soft rock, country and more. Accompanying the mix is this message from FMB:

Rugged, saline guitar jams and sea-smoothed rock – from really recent finds to long-cherished shoreline treasures once popped in our pockets for another day, another day. Well – yesterday's mañana has come. Reach for your nearest Idle Cellars cuvées, grab your grampa's corkscrew, hit the cove barefoot and let the 'super-space-age seventies' pass on by while we linger, carefree.

Here we go - stretch out, grab a glass and press play! See you next time! 

@flying-mojito-bros - follow them!

Electric Circus ringmaster @andfriendsmusicevents waltzed on over from next door on a too-hot Saturday afternoon and vibed out at Ironic Spin with this classy mix of nu-disco, italo, and house. Grab a frosty beverage and sit back to this one.

Andfriends - 2PM Saturday  @ Ironic Spin 2025

On Saturday at Otherworld, some of the top talent from the Vic Drip crew delivered a fantastic, extended house set at the Jellyfish Lounge. It’s full of delicious groove and soul. They set the vibe perfectly. And listening to it now will surely bring back those warm summer feelings and leave you smiling.

I took the opportunity to showcase my vision of a house mix that goes on a one hour journey through a myriad of styles. This mix draws from many musical influences and moods from around the world with an emphasis on movement! Dancing your journey is the intent here with bass heavy chuggers, latin inspired cuts, soulful vibes, deep jackers, Afro heat, cheeky disco nods, a touch of acid and a few of house music’s (many) important productions. The mix moves along, never usually playing one track too long by itself, weaving a dance floor odyssey that never feels rushed allowing the segments of each selection to naturally form a cohesive, timeless whole.

20250829 A Little Off The Top

This is a little tribute to the unique and magic musical world of my brother from another mother, Mr. Ilya Santana. 
A true 'Maestro' of this game, and honcho of Astrolead Recordings, in my opinion, one of the BIG 'Under The Radar' gem imprints of the underground retro electronic disco influenced scene.
Music made 100% by him in our beautiful homeland, the Canary Islands.
This uber talented artist I can call one of my best and oldest friend starting this cosmic trip almost when we were very very young evidently deserves much more focus due to his endless impulse to push the limits of quality beyond the Tannhäuser Gate, far away from this planet.
🔥
Hope this mixtape help a little bit to more and more people can discover his project.
Enjoy the music of this guy...trust me (it's really super!!!!)
Discover the power and world class of the Electronic Music made in Canarias.
😎
