One of our longest serving staff members @AlexEgan serves up the 13th mix in our Friends & Family series. The set features 60 tracks across 4+ hours and is the first to be filmed live.

Alex currently works part-time behind the scenes on Phonica’s labels and full-time in production for @Ninja-Tune. He also runs a handful of his own labels including @U-t-t-e-r.

This mix has been a very, very long time coming…!

Calm Your Mind #001 - Alex Stevenson

https://soundcloud.com/retral returns with his first release since his 2023 debut album Borderline. The new single, "RLN Sessionzzz", offers a preview of his upcoming EP, Heavy Episodic Cycles, out now. 

Known for his raw and introspective sound, Retral's latest track explores emotional intensity, weaving immersive, reflective beats with his signature instrumental hip-hop style. Heavy Episodic Cycles promises to delve deep into Retral’s personal experiences with swinging mental states, making RLN Sessionzzz a must-listen for fans of bold, vulnerable artistry.

Final track from new EP titled 'Long Month'

Long Month is a sonic diary that chronicles the highs, lows, and quiet revelations of a turbulent transition. Blending genres from atmospheric ambient to pulsing leftfield house, each track reflects a different facet of grappling with hardship, finding clarity, and pushing forward. The EP’s narrative crescendos with its standout closing track, See You on the Other Side—a soaring ambient anthem of resilience, optimism, and open-ended possibility.

Raw, inventive, and deeply personal, Long Month invites listeners to journey through chaos, catharsis, and the steady resolve to move onward.

Truth - The End

@vynehall

Last May, we invited Leon Vynehall to play a rare 'open to close' set at Honey Soundsystem. There are not many selectors that we can trust to not only DEBUT themselves at a HSS party but also take on a room entirely to themselves. His set exceed our expectations and the recording ACTUALLY came out.

Honey fans know we don't release many live-recordings, but when we do they often have a life of their own (see Jennifer Cardini at Burning Man, Silent Servant at Holy Cow, Black Madonna at Deviants, Doc Sleep at the 9 Year Anniversary) 

You can check out the past live-sets here: https://soundcloud.com/honeysoundsystem/sets/recorded-live-at-honey

This set has been on repeat since that May 26th night and after some serious cajoling, Vynehall agreed to release the first couple of hours. Vynehall does not really release live mixes so we know how special this is and thank him for letting us go with it.

The set went on for another 3.5 hours but included some material Vynehall can't have out in the world yet. So... here is an exceptionally good 3.5 hours at one of our traditional Sunday night, holiday weekend, Honey Soundsystem parties in San Francisco.
