Seth Troxler & Jaden Thompson: The Crosstown Mix Show 048

@dee_diggs plays with a sense of rapture that can be soft or heavy, but is always fun. The East Coast selector is Brooklyn-based, and that's where her House of Diggs party offers a place for marginalized groups to express and organize themselves. Next to this, she has a residency at Public Records but no matter where she plays, you can be sure it is always with real respect for the Black roots of house, techno and disco while touching on everything from sensual grooves to euphoric thumpers. 

This week's mix is a seat-of-your-pants selection that is unashamedly party-focussed. The good vibes flow from the first moment as Dee races through passionate house and vocal laced classics. There are moments of all-out hands in the celebration next to boogie workouts and a heart-swelling Mariah Carey edit. It's a quick, tight, and impossibly enjoyable listen from this cultured party-starter.

Bakk Heia Podcast 003 - Pigeon Steve

For our third podcast we are delighted to share a 2 hour trip from an artist we hold in the highest esteem - Pigeon Steve!

The Glaswegian head bobber is the force behind Seated Records, a label which shines a light on forgotten Scottish New Wave and Post Punk oddities, whilst also producing his own brand of sluggy, trance juiced downtempo club wrigglers as Pigeon Steve. 

During the mix, Pigeon Steve pecks his beak into weirdo new beat, acid chonk and trance sludge, moving gracefully into trippy midtempo flighters, before ending in all out, gloves off raveaggedon. All impeccably tied together with the playful ear that defines his unique productions. 

2 and a bit hours of eccie beats from Glasgow's finest. Flap thy wings enthusiastically cru!

Bakk Heia Podcast 004 - FROND

We are very happy to share our latest podcast from one of our favourite DJs - FROND. 

We are a great admirer of FROND's work, both as an DJ across the UK's subterranean/swampy rave scene, and through her precise production style, displayed in her recent People & Places release. We also have v fond memories of her masterful set at Bakk Heia last year, where she gracefully tunnelled through the gears towards collective joyful chaos.

This mix is a reflection of FROND's ability to toe the line between driving body movers, and euphoria inducing tear grabbers. It's a powerful combination, and one that drives straight to the heart. <3

Enjoy this trip friends :)

For our next instalment we draw from our own fertile waters. This time with a two hour recording from Bakk Heia resident and label partner schuttle. 

Schuttle has been a resident DJ and sporadic guest of the Bakk Heia parties since their inception. In fact he played our very first party in TWH nearly 10 years ago, at a time when the sky lights were yet to be covered and day light would filter unashamedly over the dancers as the sun rose. It came to our attention that since that set, schuttle hadn’t set forth on a solo flight, so it seemed high time for him to spread his tentacles over the closing hours. 

Through this mix schuttle channels the seething energy that is only possible during those final hours. The part timers have left, the room is totally locked in and the allure of chaos is strong. As such, it invites the dancer to delve a little deeper, perfectly navigating the dark into light. Often hypnotic and tunnelling, sometimes euphoric, sometimes explosive, but always directly from the heart. It was a truly beautiful experience to witness such a concise and coherent artistic expression from someone who understands, on a fundamental level, the power these hours can have, and what they mean to us. 

As the lights came on at 7am, there was palpable outpouring of love. The closing moments evoke that beautiful feeling of returning somewhere familiar. Wrapped together in euphoric joy.

It is our pleasure to share our latest podcast, this time from Full Circle’s Alexis Le-Tan.  The mix is a live recording taken from Bakk Heia at The White Hotel earlier this year. Alexis began playing around 3am, just as the club had reached capacity. Energy that was simmering under the surface began to be released, the initial hustle and bustle was over and people had found their place on the floor. As such, this mix expertly demonstrates Alexis’ ability to hook dancers in, giving them a playful push before engaging them into full mind melt mode. Starting with genre defying mid-tempo dubby sludgery, it moves into angular strains of new beat adjecent trancers before unleashing the Goa dragons on the rapturous mass of entranced bodies.   

Enjoy this trip friends :)

Ok folks, podcast number 7 is here. This one is from the enigmatic Floor Length Skirts. 

In a culture of instant gratification, where an instagram reel is now a legitimate source to hear new music and folks seem to demand knowledge simply because it exists, DJs are often incredulously asked, WHERE do you find these records? The answer lies not in a shadowy realm where djs fight demons and overcome obstacles in order to unlock the secrets of music. But rather they are the result of hours and hours and hours of obsessive work, this particular form of compulsive behaviour expertly typified here by Floor Length Skirts. This no-stone-left-unturned approach is demonstrated over nearly four hours of mind blowing records. Yet this is not just an exhibition of a collector's wares, but a beautifully thoughtful piece of free flowing art. The mixing seems spontaneous and surprising whilst maintaining a seamless driving quality, drawing the listener into this strange world. A list of humorous genre names to attempt to describe the selection would be essentially futile, instead we urge you to keep an open mind and enjoy this trip from one of the most exciting DJs around.
