We’re very pleased to present the next Seven Hills Digest, this time from Welsh-born, Bristol-based DJ and Red Wax Records head R.E.D!

I recently attended fitf this summer, a relatively new festival near the Welsh border and was immediately struck by the uniqueness of the mix Sophie had recorded for them. After a long drive down the M1 listening to it we knew for sure she’d be one to watch, and weren't disappointed as her set was some of the best music of the weekend. It was refreshing to hear a style of dance music completely untouched by any traces of cliche, tired tropes, or overly rehashed ideas. 

Each of Sophie’s selections have something otherworldly about them, as if they’ve been summoned especially for that moment out of thin air only to dissipate moments later, leaving you wondering whether you’d heard something quite like it before. Interesting rhythms, oddball sounds and a cohesive atmosphere of general weirdness are all things you should expect to hear from one of her mixes.

She’s one of a number of DJ’s who have you scratching your head wondering what you’re listening to while thoroughly enjoying it, and I’m grateful to her for contributing her very first all vinyl mix for us to publish.

Italian artist Marco Pellegrino has grown to become a quite indispensable part of our community. Performing under the alias Ancut, he has carved out an enviable space for himself by way of his own Discarded Gems imprint and resulting DJ booking schedule. Based in Berlin, Marco is also in constant demand for mastering skills too and Analogcut is a very well known name in the underground and his name adorns many of our scenes’ vinyl artworks.

As you might expect from an artist of Ancut’s calibre and proven track record as a producer and mastering engineer, his recording for our InSession series is immaculately programmed. From the dreamlike intro that gradually melts away to reveal hypnotic thread that runs through much of the mix. Crispy percussion and a multi dimensional sound palette that feeds into the stream from a multitude of angles produces an intense and otherworldly experience. Soon getting up to speed Ancut shows why he is as revered as a DJ as he is an artist.
