Eora-based DJ, producer and Start Local Records label-head, Tom Bruce is not one to sit still. Today, he steps up to deliver Lost Sundays Session #022 🏄🏼‍♂️

A pillar of the scene and a regular face at Lost Sundays, Tom Bruce has proved himself and more since his debut EP 'Cloudy Days Often Have The Best Sunsets' released on Eora's @galleryrecordings last year. Often spotted passing the headphones to partner in crime Cleo, this time around he's brewed up a Tom Bruce special - an hour of grooves. In his own words:

"I don't think I've made a mix that didn't include a Fantastic Man gem. The way he blends really hard-hitting bass with softer, also italo-type sounds just creates such interesting tracks that can be played in almost any setting. I caught him playing the Lovejoy party a few months back and it just further cemented my love for everything he does.

I've been listening to quite a lot of Eden Burns lately and just love his approach to making music. He just releases so much stuff and he clearly doesn't take himself too seriously, which I think is really important when making music. He just makes all sorts of crazy, groovy stuff and pushes it out. I've got in the habit of whenever he releases another Big Beat Manifesto, I go back through his discography and almost always find a new song I haven't heard.

Keep an ear out for Kermond, a local Sydney artist that I've recently been playing a lot. He sent over some demos to the label I run, @startlocalrecords, and I just couldn't stop playing them. The same week just I just happen to run into him at a gig and we just got chatting, lovely guy and is just making such cool music. His track Ur Love is a serious earworm!

'Holding On' by Lone Cat is a track I am dying to play out sometime soon. I am an absolute sucker for classic house sounds, anything with some piano and a few gospel vocals I'm weak at the knees haha. I love to sprinkle really uplifting vocal tracks through all my sets cause I just love to share those soulful moments with crowds. People should normalise clenching their fists and singing along in the club.

Coming up in my world: I'm putting lots of time and effort into the label, organising some events with a few local crews, playing shows and enjoying what life has to offer." - @tombruce2

Love Local w/ Start Local Records feat. Sasha Milani - 03.09.22

“This mix was put together while reminiscing over all the fun and amazing sets I got to dance to over the Summer. I tried to recapture that buzz using  some of my favourite tunes and artists from the past year and also slipped in an unreleased one of our own. Expect a load of fun high-energy house, a bit of breaks, some trancey numbers and a lick of acid.

Hope you enjoy, Thanks xx”

Mantissa Mix 261: Boots & Kats

Belfast born, rising Manchester-based talent @kh0lle joins us for our 27th edition in our Mix Series. We're very excited to be showcasing them this weekend, taking us on a journey through 2-step rhythms, Acid, Trance & beyond.

Having recently played an incredible set in the city for High Hoops at TWH, as well as regular sets at XLR, this mix gives us plenty of late night, wintery club flavours to bring in the colder season.

‘’As summer moves further from sight, I wanted to put together a mix of tunes that evoke those darker wintery nights (which are probably my favourite times in the club). It contains many different flavours of house music both new and old (with a healthy dose of trance) which I think exemplify this mood. 

I love the malleability of club music that allows you to give a classic renewed freshness by putting it in a new context, and also being able to experiment with 3 deck mixing to create interesting new sounds. I really tried to push these aspects in the mix so I hope you all enjoy the final product.
