20/21 solid numbers

A Londoner through and through, Arthur Smith, more commonly known as Artwork, is a man who has been a key part of some of the capital’s pivotal music scenes in the last two decades. After a time producing techno under his Grain alias in the 90s, fore-fronting dubstep with Big Apple Records in the early noughties and forming Magnetic Man alongside Skream and Benga in 2007 – Artwork is now busy injecting his character into various parties, festivals and clubs around the globe.

As a longtime friend of the shop, we reached out to Arthur to see if he would be up for contributing a mix to close out 2021. For the occasion, Arthur went above and beyond and the result is a whopping one hour and forty-minute long recording packed with all kinds of rare disco, funk, boogie and house treasures. 

Head on over to offtherecord.net to check out the in-depth interview where we discussed his new life in NYC, his past projects; Grain and Magnetic Man, his future plans, and much more. Enjoy!

February 2025 DJ Mix

What up Idle Cellars fam? We’re back with another stellar new mix for your spring-into-summer fun, so pop a tasty bottle and get horizontal! Once again we’re proud to give you a mix from some of the world’s best selectors and this month showcases another favorite - it’s Brooklyn’s JKriv! We met Jason while he was holding down basslines for incredible acoustic House band Tortured Soul, which he followed swiftly by a stint in NYC disco-obsessed group Escort (amazing!), then linking up with Aaron Dae to create the influential Razor-N-Tape label empire! Since then the man has been living the disco dream, traveling the world playing tunes, making some fantastic music (check out his groovy and soothing Within EP) and opening the RNT record shop in addition to being a wonderful human being. 

He’s hooked us up with a poolside killer that has us dreaming of hot, hazy afternoons treading water, mornings when there’s nothing to do but soak in some rays, & nights of wine & torchlit patios. We hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Dicky Trisco: The Campo Sancho Mix

Live recording by Guest DJ, Admin, from the third night of our July 2025 residency @Cafe1001 in London

Daydream Disco - Only Sounds Soulful - (Admin) LIVE @ Café 1001 - 19.07.2025

We’ve all had those moments: when you hear that groove and instinctively turn the dial up a notch. When you’re in the car, the sun’s shining, and a wry smile creeps across your face because that track makes you feel so good. When you catch someone’s eye on the dance floor and that simple nod of acknowledgment resonates with you both in that moment.

That’s House Music. It’s a feeling.

Soulful Techno strikes back and sees its founding father Gabriel Ananda team up with AtalaiA who debuted on the label not too long ago with his well received Mind's Eye single.

Disco In The Jungle is an uplifting and warm club groover, full of emotion. One for those euphoric peak time moments of a night!

On the flipside AtalaiA goes solo and delights us with Minutes To Midnight which will please the melodic and progressive house fans for sure.

Another massive release from the German imprint!

As the Southern Hemisphere inches towards summer, Sanoi and Rattler have delivered a perfect soundtrack for long days dancing in the Antipodean sun. Sampling Edwin Starr and channelling El Topo, 'Walking' is a gritty, galloping hero's journey into the sweatiest expanses of the deep house desert.

Sanoi is a Berlin artist now residing in New Zealand, where he's spent the last two years churning out festival-friendly releases for Bar 25, Stil Vor Talent, and Beat & Path. There's a strong theme of desert enlightenment running through Sanoi's repertoire, and this should appeal to fans of Sol Selectas, Acid Pauli and Bedouin.

For the A-side, Sanoi joins up with Jake Rattler from Waihi Beach, a festival regular whose 'Ball Pit' sessions on Noize Radio deliver strong underground deep house. Between them, Sanoi and Rattler have created something pulsating and groove-centred while tilting towards mysticism. A real behemoth of a bassline – all sinews and stomping feet – pulls the track along until Starr's lyrics drop in. At the same moment, a shimmering arpeggio starts to rise, offsetting the grunt of the track's low end. The rest of the track is a joyous tumble between these elements, celestial and gristly all at once, like a perfect day's dancing at a dusty midsummer festival.
