dj mixes

Blending the colourful ’summer of love’ sounds of 60s psychedelia and 90s rave, with a healthy dose of jazz, funk, reggae, and hip hop added to the melting pot, Cryptical Listening brings a variety of styles under the same cosmic umbrella - old to new, local to international.

Having aired every first Thursday monthly since 2019, Cryptical Listening seeks to free your mind from the technicality of genre-based pigeon-holes to allow an hour’s-worth of appreciation for music of all cultures, contexts, and colours, which is an ethos clearly expressed through the ‘Keep It Cryptic’ party lineups, bringing guitar-driven bands under the same warehouse roof as techno-slamming DJs. Whether it’s the darker, bass-heavy breaks, or the lighter soulful boom bap, or Turkish folk gems, or acidified disco edits - you can really expect the unexpected here.

Another bootleg for you all, enjoy. Full-quality download via Fire House BandCamp here:  https://firehouseliverpool.bandcamp.com/track/daft-punk-crescendolls-ch-wilson-re-edit 

Needed to give this underrated classic a boost after Hot Digits' Andy Buchan brought it back to present relevance with his edit of tune that Daft Punk sampled - 'Can You Imagine' by The Imperials. In this I have used elements of both songs, added my own drum work with a bit of extending, chopping and re-mastering to fatten up the mix - ready for modern sound-systems.

I'm next DJing in Manchester on the 1st December - headlining the Lost In Music room for Gin & Disco at Brickworks. More info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/328375841300576/

Focusing on the left-field, psychedelic and experimental selections in dance music, Cryptical Listening is a tour through current underground music. Hosted by the Keep It Cryptic warehouse party's primary hosts, the show gives new original music a platform to be played alongside older selections. 

With their rapidly growing party 'Keep It Cryptic' taking off, which brings a mini festival feel to secret warehouse locations outside of the city centre, the Cryptical crew have caught the imagination of a fresh and youthful art scene in Liverpool. Now with a bootleg label set to release a number of originals this year, you can expect to hear lots of unreleased material played on this show – with styles ranging from breaks and electro to dub and jungle, disco and house to jazz and punk.

This month, Ché rides solo with some feel-good winter warmers. Full bio & tracklist: https://tinyurl.com/snwwa2n
