This is Part 2 of my Mystery of the Motherbeat series of DJ mixes. I’ve wanted to record this mix for a long time as a follow-up to my 2018 mix by the same name. Both are a fusion of styles used to build a psychedelic hypnotic soundscape for deep listening and personal synchronization with the heart of Motherbeat. No big hands in the air moments to speak of here, just deep mixing and some of the most beautiful records in my collection.

Eris Drew’s Mystery of the Motherbeat Part 2

Bogota-born, Berlin-based Tania Humeres Correa aka @thc_dj has perfected the art of high-energy sounds that get big room crowds close together. The Rinse FM host has her own party series La Noche with Byron Yeates and sibling DHC, and with the latter plays back-to-back as S-candalo. Acid, potent rave bangers, vocal gems and deeper delights all feature in her sets which always look to combine an unbridled sense of party with plenty of emotional nuance.

This week's mix was recorded just after the start of festival season so is aimed at getting your summer started in style. Staying true to her signature house sounds with plenty of warmth, euphoria and rolling grooves, it's a perfect representation of her ideal dance floor soundtrack. While leaning towards the energy of the main stage and "anthemic vastness," her selections never forget about the all-important elements of intimacy and soul which help the beats make a lasting impression.

Chae | Boiler Room: Seoul

A new record for the longest RA Podcast ever: Ten hours from the powerhouse duo sweeping techno, Chlär and Alarico.

Both commanding performers in their own right, sparks fly when the Swiss-Italian duo of Funk Assault combine. The buzz surrounding their productions, DJing and their label Primal Instinct is at fever pitch, and short wonder: when it comes to gritty, high-impact sets that barrel through multiple shades of techno, few are in their league right now.

RA.960 was laid down at Watergate this March during a signature Funk Assault marathon. The pair ramp up incrementally, and even before they hit top velocity, you can hear them ripping through records with tenacity and verve. You don't need elbows in your face to tell the place is rocking.

We're informed that ID'ing the set would probably take longer than playing it (fair enough), so no tracklist for this one. Instead, fill in the blanks at your leisure. As well as 150+ BPM stompers and groove wormholes, there's everything from tribal to ballroom, electro to bassbin rattlers, and plenty of classics. 

As an encapsulation of a night out's full arc, RA.960 does the business—and best of all, you won't even need a trip to the bar for water. The gauntlet has been thrown down.

"Everybody's searching for a place
Where they belong
But I've found a place where I can do no wrong

Everybody loves me for being me
But I never thought that I could be so free

Yes, I'm a dancer,
Round and round
The music's got me high
I don't want to come down

It was the perfect atmosphere
Now it's just a memory far away from here"

For 2024’s final instalment of The Mix, @eris-drew & @octoocta provide an hour of Motherbeat-infused ecstacy

"We wanted to do a proper, 128 BPM house mix. Our very ecstatic, house energy mix. It’s going to be just over an hour, because we want it to be in that radiant space for the entire time and play some of our older favourites, as well as newer favourites from our record bag over this past year. We’re not like ‘track of the week’ DJs, when we love something, it’s getting played over the span of a few years, sometimes even 10 years."

Recording Lowlands Festival closing set

♥️

This mix was recorded live during the closing of the Bravo Stage at Lowlands, in front of more than 10,000 people, from 03:00 till 05:00 in the morning.

Two hours of memories, tributes, and discoveries: an homage to everything I’ve heard, loved, and lived through at a festival like Lowlands.

As BSS, I wanted to make it more than just another dj set, it’s a journey through the music that has shaped all my music taste thru festivals like this.

From Oneohtrix Point Never, The Knife to Underworld, from big podium anthems to the latest gems by friends and peers like Jasmín on Hessle Audio or Vegyn’s Headache, the mix is filled with the artists and sounds that have inspired me on stage and beyond.

You’ll also hear unreleased remixes and personal edits of big songs, unique moments that could only happen there, in that tent, with that crowd.

Standing there, closing a festival this big surrounded by so many beautiful human beings, I felt both the weight of the past and the promise of what’s still ahead. This mix is a thank you, for the music, the friendships, the sunsets and sunrises, and the chance to grow with all of it.

Love,
L.
