'I wanted to showcase some of my favourite tracks from different chapters of my life. The mix starts with tracks that illustrate an aesthetic in current dance music that I'm enjoying and sets the scene to reintroduce some of my favorite tracks from the past from a new perspective. Music has always been a way of navigating through life to me and these tracks are the connections to people and places that are close to my heart. I hope this mix pays tribute to the artists who have created these paths for us to explore and is dedicated to them.' 

Tracks from the likes of Sterac, Notte Infinita, Orson/Orson Wells and Terekke.

We had Mantas as a guest back in April of last year and he’s been a firm favourite since. The Manchester-based and Lithuanian born DJ goes by the alias Animaux blending the realms of leftfield music. He describes this mix as an earmark of the various styles that he enjoys playing and a taste of what’s to come.

Animaux - 4th September 2025

We're very pleased to welcome Discability back into the fold with Myoozli taking the reins this month. Myoozli has provided some words to accompany the mix:

'Through the high energy and heaviness of this 140-170 mix, I wanted to represent how powerful music makes me feel, and the Manchester club scene’s way of making me feel unstoppable. Something I’m sure other chronically ill people in the music scene can relate to is the imposter syndrome. I’m often wondering if people are thinking “she can’t really be that ill. Look how hard she goes”, and sometimes I catch myself thinking the same. But honestly I think I must have just been engineered that way 🤖 

I was diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy a month before my 17th birthday, and ended up having an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) inserted into my chest. For me, this illness - even almost 10 years later - has manifested in irregular heartbeats, chest pain, and a whole lot of fatigue. Despite this, music and nightlife are my one true love. Seeing people’s faces when I’m out covered in sweat on the dancefloor, and they notice my ICD scar on my chest, never gets old.

It’s hard to describe just how much mental trauma intertwines with physical illness, but music has always been a saving grace for me. Creating sets and performing is what provides me with a form of immersion that steers away from harmful dissociation, and I wanted to reflect in this mix the feeling I get behind the decks: exhilaration, euphoria, and the freedom to go hard despite my own body’s limits.

I hope this mix gets your blood pumping too, and thank you so much to Pip at Discability for the opportunity and for opening this space for disabled DJs!'

Touching Shoulders w/ WINK - 22nd September 2025

To round off the month we welcome GINI - After seeing GINI play at Nowadaze 2025 a few months back we were very keen to hear more. 

‘This mix is basically a bit of everything I’ve been loving recently. A lot of the tracks are stuff I’ve pinched from sets this summer at festivals and what not, so feeling so grateful for the experiences, the music and for dancing. 

The mix starts off pretty easy and with some rinsed and repeated numbers, getting heavier as it goes- there’s a few random ones in there as well just to make sure you’re still listening. 

Some off my favourite ID’s in there are frequency Groove (Marina Potion Club), space for crap (acidulant), Dancetrax 2.1 (neutron) and Willy’s Breakbeat (NewTone). Think these go to show I love anything with a heavy bass and some cheeky highs and vocals. 

Hope you enjoy, 
GINI x’

GINI - 26th September 2025

October rolls in with At:las at the helm.

‘I took this photo at @abovebelowfestival 2023, misty and moody in the heart of a small valley. This mix follows in a similar vein, a concoction of dubbed out house and techno, melancholic soundscapes and 303 basslines. Tracks from Jerry Bonham, Furious Frank and Carl Finlow.’

Avalon w/ At:las - 1st October 2025
