Live From Lille France 11/05/2023

Live recording from my recent Australia trip, where i played in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Byron Bay. This recording is from Succulent Funk and Angel Music Bar in Melbourne on 28.12.2024. Angel Music Bar is a smaller, dark room with a good sound system. Glad this got recorded as it was great vibes and a nice document for a great trip to the other side of the planet.

As we move into 2025, LHM begin a run of stunning guest mixes from some of the disco and house heads we have followed and admire, whether over the years or those coming through turning our heads.

We couldn't ask for a better start with none other than Marcel Vogel. As a selector and DJ, his dancefloor shaking prowess is something we have witnessed on numeral occasions and through his productions, remixes and edits, as well as his wonky disco label Lumberjacks in Hell, we have also used his wares on many of our dancefloors.

Marcel kindly took the time to speak to us to discuss his label and its forthcoming release from Lyma plus a host of other chat on his gigs, family, music and more and you can check out the interview via the link below.

And to the mix! What a joy. No need to analyse, it's Marcel, so just crack it on, turn it up and get involved.

Big thanks to Marcel for his time on all of this.

Here's a mix of new, unannounced, test presses and bonus tracks for upcoming Star Creature releases. A few of these have just dropped within the last month or so and most will be coming soon throughout the summer. New stuff from a few previous collaborators like Brian Ellis, Futvrst and Giovanni Damico plus label newcomers like Byron the Aquarius, LLL and Mia. Started off with some of the more boogie and disco and then get into the heavier club focused dance floor joints after. Hope everyone digs! - Tim Zawada / Star Creatures
