For last year's label compilation, I mentioned how I hoped to invite a guest DJ to compile the next edition, and here we are. Of course, it just had to be our long-term musical companion, a good friend of mine, and well-respected DJ, todos.

I was first introduced to todos through his well-respected Kilchurn Mix series. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, they remain some of my favorite mixes of all time (listen to them all on the ASIP site when you get a chance). His ability to craft a narrative, manipulate samples and respect the grey area between ambient and electronic music, is second-to-none.

Since blogging about his mixes all the way back in 2008, and inviting him to compile a special isolatedmix a few years later, Doug (todos) and I have stayed in touch and connected further after learning we grew up with very similar musical trajectories. Doug also coincidentally, ended up living where my family is today (and where I spent my life growing up) in a surprising twist of fate. And in 2021, after years of speaking online, we finally got to meet, play records (in real life!), and go for a long overdue beer.

I always earmarked Doug to be a part of ASIP somehow, so it is my absolute pleasure to hand over the DJ reins for the 2021 compilation edition. Doug had free choice over which tracks to choose, as long as he included one track from each release of the year. The result is a very special mix, taking us through the ASIP 2021 release catalog in his unique, signature, https://soundcloud.com/djtodos style.

“2021 has been another tough year but the music that has come out of it has been wonderful. With so many excellent releases on the ASIP label, it was exciting yet challenging to be asked to showcase a few on this mix. Massive thanks go out to Ryan for the opportunity and trust in letting me do this, the artists for their incredible talent and hard work, and lastly all the supporters of this music we love, I hope you enjoy.”- https://soundcloud.com/djtodos

Thank you all for your work and good luck to everyone! Good job SoundCloud!
"LET THE MUSIC TAKE CONTROL!!!"
Thank you guys for the TECHNO I've been hearing here at SoundCloud and around the world with you ALL!!!

Huge fan of dance music although I've never really had the time, money or equipment to learn to DJ!  Fan of techno nowadays but house, breaks, progressive and dirty bass also float my boat!  Dabbled with amateurish productions several years ago; I *might* upload some snippets of these in the future, maybe I'll take it up again if I get the time?!  Otherwise I go out and listen to many a DJ spin some tunes although not as much as I used to.  Was an End regular (R.I.P.) then period Shoreditch/Old Street/East London and various warehouse parties... now seemingly semi-retired up North... but music still massively important!

Music is the only thing that makes us breathing
