Sounds to listen to in the dark. Pitchblack Mixtapes is a DJ session in the dark held in London, hosted and mixed by myself, where I get to play a different kind of music to my usual DJ sets. While we're not allowed to host these sessions IRL, Pitchblack Mixtapes is live streaming every Thursday at 9PM GMT during lockdown at mixcloud.com/live/bengomori

Pitchblack Mixtapes: music to listen to in the dark

The most beautiful people I have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. 
These persons have an appreciation, sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.  This recording was a kind of soundtrack for that reunion.

We met again with bags full of records (some of them dusty), good company, fantastic food & wine in an unique adriatic surrounding.

Last night I launched my new concept, Pitchblack Mixtapes. It’s an offshoot of my Pitchblack Playback album listening sessions in the dark, except me and other DJs play and mix a selection of music instead of an album being played. It went really well and I had great feedback from it, so looking forward to doing more.

As promised, here’s the full recording. It should ideally be listened to in the dark with no distractions. Each record was carefully picked to sound spectacular in the confines of Number 10 in Hackney where we host most of our events, and hopefully it makes for a great listen outside of there too.

Find out about Pitchblack Playback events at http://bit.ly/pbpbtkts including an upcoming premiere for Amon Tobin's new album.

RADIO.D59B / BEST FRIEND #2 w/ Eddie C

🌞 💓 🌞 💓 Hello my dear friends 🌞 💓 🌞 💓

I'm so honored and happy to present to you, in this week's show, the glamorous and bewitching Bill Brewster, a British writer, musician and record collector.
One minute he’s rocking the roof off at Fabric with his tough and funky big-room underground house; the next he’s charming the pants off a more intimate crowd with everything from dubby disco, funk and hip-hop to trip-hop and Latin batucadas. Armed with a sensitivity and sense of occasion that few DJs possess Bill Brewster knows how to work for a crowd in the best possible sense.

One of the foremost historians of djing, Bill began DJing in in the late 80s, but he cut his teeth playing ‘Low Life’ warehouse parties in Harlem and the East Village – he moved to NYC to run DMC’s US operation – and anyone hearing Bill today can see how these New York ‘roots’ shine through. For eclecticism, surprises, amazing unique music and sheer long-haul dedication to the dancefloor, Bill’s your man.

His other life is as a writer. Together with long-term pal Frank Broughton, Bill is author of the definitive history of DJing, Last Night A DJ Saved My Life, probably the best book about dance music, and has contributed his acid Grimsby with and encyclopaedic knowledge of music to just about every dance rag there is, not to mention The Guardian, Independent and Mail On Sunday. The Brewster-Broughton double act unveiled their latest hit in 2002 with the uniquely sardonic DJ manual How To DJ (Properly).

He’s an industry insider, having brought Twisted records to the UK and launched his own highly successful deep house label Forensic.

​BILL BREWSTER: “EVERYTHING WE TAKE FOR GRANTED IN DANCE MUSIC, HAPPENED UNDER DISCO". Disco's influence can't be ignored.

This exceptional and very classy selection will bring sunshine and happiness through your speakers, so press play and enjoy the vibes.


Big love to all and huge thanks to Bill Brewster for his contribution ❤️💛👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🌅💏🌅👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨🌅❤️💛

He plays an inimitable mix of house, disco, Balearic, electro, afro, acid, garage and techno, tirelessly digging for lesser known gems that he unearths for his RecordReplay bargain bin vinyl radio shows and seamlessly fitting them alongside the sounds of today, sprinkled with his own acclaimed edits and productions and a high-energy mixing style.
