Feb 22

On Oct 6th 2021, about 2 years after my last set in London, I played from open to close (11pm to 5am) at Village Underground in Shoreditch. Here's a recording of the whole night with a bit of the crowd noise. 

Perhaps a full tracklist at some point... some unreleased stuff in here. 

Even though it had been a while, we had all night so no use in rushing things! I came across a lot of lovely music this year, but it mostly lived in my rekordbox or in a radio mix. I actually record a lot of my sets but it always feels like they're in a constant state of iteration, making it hard to pick just one "version" to release. Over the years I feel like this has led me to only very sparingly drop live-recorded sets. A "party" doesn't often lend itself to the archivable realm, maybe the memories are best suited to the ephemeral. 

Anyway, eternal gratitude crystals to those who came and those who danced, and to those listening now.

Thrilled to be sharing a new mix from talented selector and homie LEMN. Upon arrival from Ngunnawal country(Canberra), Lily quickly caught our ear with her love and expertise for all things prog house. No exception, this mix offers a unique blend of glossy euphoria and deep rhythmic cuts. Revel in some much needed 2022 optimism with this bouncy blissful mix :)

@kiernan-laveaux

First up on the mix is the incredible Kiernan Laveaux with 60+ minutes of psychedelic chaos, floating effortlessly between funk, house, IDM, dub and techno.

There is always an unshakeable invisible energy that surrounds mixes like these, which is no surprise given Kiernan has deep ties with the queer dance revolution that has been pushing that same energy throughout the Midwest and East Coast of America. We highly recommend you dive in head first and let the Motherbeat wash over you.

@call-super

There aren’t many words that can describe the breadth and scale of our second guest’s impact on dance music culture today.

Meteoric? Mould-breaking? Pioneering? Call Super a.k.a Ondo Fudd’s kaleidoscopic discography, both in production, DJing and art direction, is frankly, second to none. Rather than gushing too much over our next guests deft selection capability, we are more than happy to let the music do the talking. Bon Appetite.

ExpOSe Mix 004 - Kiernan Laveaux & Call Super

A beautiful blend of deep sounds, tech house and breaks for number sixty five, by Italy based DJ & producer @christopher-ledger1. 

With technical skills built on classical composition, Christopher's music is always refined, beautifully emotional and melodic, yet somehow maintaining the perfect groove.

Christopher runs his own label, "C-Series", and has an impressive back-catalogue of deep, techy productions perfect for any dance floor.

Thanks so much for the incredible mix Christopher!

A luminescent vision from London's o.utlier, whose meticulous and uncommon approach sets the stage for a new year of discovery. A sanguine moment recorded live among friends in Scotland, a scrying of shrouded futures, a promise cast beneath a clairvoyant sky.

This week's LT Podcast is a special one from our very own Poppy. Outside of co-running Lobster and running her very own POPMUSIK, a vinyl archiving, grading and valuation service, Poppy is also a talent behind the decks, hosting a regular show on Netil Radio and DJing at venues across London. This mix sees Poppy dig into her expansive record collection, spinning a steady groove of house, techno, dub and more. 

In Poppy's Words:
This mix allowed me to reach for old and new music that I have in my record collection. The fresh UK sounds that are the in between dance floor bits along side heavier four to the floor jams. Hope you enjoy x

Furthur Electronix - 04.02.2022

“Sludgy but meditative vibes, travelling through textured ambient, dub, downtempo, acid, bass and dnb.”

We’re joined by Bristol-based producer and DJ, @manami-b, who’s been making waves on the scene since moving to the city four years ago. She’s shared the stage with the likes of Soichi Terada, Ben UFO and Bicep and has showcased her comprehensive and eclectic sets in her residencies on Worldwide FM and Noods radio, Abergavenny’s Come Bye Festival, Amsterdam’s The Hague and Glastonbury. She also co-runs ‘Better Days’, a Bristol based party with Anil Chohan.

Enjoy!

A very close friend, and someone who has put tireless energy and love into park and warehouse raves in Melbourne in the last four or so years, it’s an honour to share his incredibly low key yet showstopping DJ talents with you all.

Strap in for a mix of heavenly rare trance gems and bouncy baselines. 

Thanks again for this one Thom! @tech-thom ❤️
