Ben Koops is an avid record digger who I met in an afterparty at a common friend's place.

Ben's range of music was extremely impressive, at the time he wasn't yet playing out so much so I invited him to open Toi Toi at Lion & Lamb for A Guy Called Gerald's live and then to Desyn a few months later. 

Ben has been on a steady route since, playing out in many of London's best underground parties, not to mention the kind and sweet soul he is.

For our series Ben presents a very specific / stripped down set which is totally fitting to our platform. Unlike most who tend to go for presenting a wide range of genres, Ben decided to really put a lens in to specifics. What you get is an elegant / linear set, meticulously constructed, beauty.

Happy Listening!

Toi.Toi.Mix Series 38 by Neb Spook

@dj-koolt has been pivotal to the rise of his native Uruguayan scene ever since he started spinning in the 90s. Rooted in Montevideo, he made it one of the most exciting places to hear minimalist dance music. Its spiritual home is Phonotheque, the club he co-founded a decade ago and where he lays down his forward-thinking sounds to a devoted and hardcore fan base. 

The scene Godfather goes big for us this week with a two-hour deep dive into his sound. It perfectly showcases his silky transitions and ability to tell stories on the dance floor. Acid, breaks and techno are the foundational sounds but they are embellished in signature style with plenty of spaced-out designs, a sense of gritty industrial futurism and plenty of avant-garde electronics.

This week on the podcast we welcome Lucy Cook, long time friend of the festival who's been behind some of our favourite downtempo mixes of the past few years for the likes of Outsiders and MMSU. Settle in for 90-minutes of earworms, passing by downtempo, hip hop and acid jazz on a leisurely summer stroll.

Catch Lucy spinning this year for The Ghost's takeover of The Beach on the festival's last day.

Time to welcome a peerless selector that we met months ago when she settled here in Nantes. A period that was definitely too short… Now she’s ready to kick things back in New York City 🍎🥏🌟

"Good thoughts bring forth good fruit" (George Clinton, 1974)
Surprising connections between different selections, ear-pleasing explorations crossing global borders, timeless decades and different foundations.

"I recorded this mix on a cozy evening with my favourite bottle of red & some nice mood lighting after a lovely trip back from Vinly-Vanguard in east London. A record shop run by 2 jazz enthusiasts with a fine taste for wax. Funnily enough 90% of tracks in this mix I discovered there over the years. Hope ya enjoy these spaced-out Jazzadelic flutey dub mellow grooves in good fruit style!  Peace x" - Kyle Toole

Vera @ Outro Lado, Waking Life 2023 PART 2

the downstairs room in hoppetosse is a special one. incredible sound system, crystal clear and super subby, a djs dream, it was the perfect setting for the chance to play some of my all time classic chillout tracks and a few trippy downtempo mindbenders. turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream...........
