Whatever It Takes (Edit)

Live recording of the first to last record played at Giant Steps on Sunday 12 February, 2023.

This sound system haunted our dreams, since they packed it up at Swan Wharf. Came with high hopes and open minds for our first Sunday at the Hackney Wick Baths. What started as a soulful afternoon selection escalated slowly into a rolling dance. A few asked since if it was recorded and - luckily - this time we got the sucker. 

If you were there, thanks for joining us and hope you enjoy the playback as much as we have. If you weren’t, hope you catch the glow of this wonderful setup. Blended with *ahem* human touch on 2 modified Technics and an ISO420 mixer, deeper into the night than we’d expected, under the shimmers of their famous mirrorball.

James Holden played this ambient / other mix at a Speckle gathering last year.

He will share more like this on Fri 8 Dec 2023 in London. Info–> https://speckle.se/daw

This mix bears nearly three hours of winding explorations as James DJed for a lounge of interlocking bodies: 
–drifters in obscure motion and silent during a non-verbal hour.

There were paper and pens, so people wrote and drew to each other instead of talking. They would also mime, or speak with the body.

For December's event at Limehouse Town Hall, James will bring a fascinating set of ambients for dream or dance.

@syberkid, Inner Child Labour & @specklesound bring further textures on the night.

DJ Ron - Defected Basement Takeover

As I often play these records alongside newer releases, I realized most of those classics were more than 25 years old, I thought of compiling them together to show where dub tech comes from and how timeless most of these tracks are...Take a record like Round Four, discovered for a lot of people like me on Daniel Bell's mix (2000) The button down mind of Daniel Bell. More than 25 years onwards, you can look at a record like this, alongside Baby Ford and early Ricardo Villalobos as the blueprint for modern minimal and dubby electronic music, but that would imply that those genres later improved upon the overall formula. In reality, few got even close to as good as this. The origins of a genre is often more important than newer releases.  ''If you do not know where you come from, then you don't know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you're going...''  (Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight)

Drift Deeper Live Show

Drift Deeper Live Show 254 - 18.02.24 (PRIVATE FLAC)

Canela En Surco is celebrating our 200th show! An artist to whom we have been paying special attention to for more than two decades (buying his records and of course visiting and revisiting his sets in order to study them), Andrew Carthy aka Mr. Scruff has given us the best gift imaginable: letting us share with the world his incredible three-hour set from our sister label Escola Records' party at La Paloma with Pau Roca, Breixo, Ivy Barkakati and Oniria Sister this past Three Kings Day (January 6th). (Thanks Andy!!)

Known for his bold mixes, changing genres, times and latitudes, always with exquisite consistency and otherworldly skills, Mr. Scruff took the controls of Ecler's new WARM4 to give a three-hour DJing lesson that we can share with all of you today thanks to his generosity.

Thank you Andy, Louis, Ralph, Arnau, Fabio, Mario, Pau, Maxi, Ivy and everyone else involved in helping this mix come to light.
