Common Occupation Mixtape Jan 2023

Music is in Jay’s blood - quite literally, his father is a wicked DJ and so his sister! From humble belt-drive beginnings at the age of 12, Jay navigated all things four to the floor with dedication. DJing moved out the bedroom to the classic club night Megatripolis and took Jay as far afield as the Philippines. He has played at numerous underground parties and festivals including Kimberley, Give, Winterwell, Womad and Standon Calling. Jay’s DJ sets sit squarely in house but draw upon influences from a wide range of electronic sounds from Detroit techno to Chicago house to deep house to minimal to French house and tech-house.

Introducing Joe Dent aka Goldhawk! 🦅

Whilst Goldhawk has only flown onto the scene recently, he has been raving with us all for many years now. His love for electronic music is clear if you've ever chatted with him in person or listened to some of his DJ sets/radio shows.

Goldhawk has had a wild 3 years playing gigs in London:

Promoters: Usual Sundays, Giggles, Amitï, Danec & Friends, Grassroot Grooves, Usual Suspects, Raï Collective, Night Mayors, Organica, De La Casa, Patchouli Deep, Faded Society, HATS, Resolute, Pick & Mix, Freehouse, Farrago, Powder Room Presents, Electric Arches, Dark Out The Room

Radio: Lola, Bloop, Voices, Chronicles with Cogu on DI.FM, Brixton Radio, BMC Radio

Alongside intimate festival style gatherings and never ending house/after parties.

Goldhawk is also a producer and is slowly building his own arsenal of records. These have been inspired by worldly sounds in predominantly organic/progressive house music that evoke feelings of wonder and mysticism. You might even hear one when the moment’s right ;-p

Goldhawk's favourite artists are Hernán Cattáneo, Sébastien Léger and Lee Burridge. His favourite record labels are Lost Miracle, All Day I Dream, Univack, Melody of the Soul, Lost & Found, TRYBESof, Stil vor Talent, Sol Selectas, Cafe De Anatolia, Madoras In Da House, MoBlack, Mango Alley and so many more.

Goldhawk takes his lifetime of experience on the dance floor into every set he curates and you'll certainly want to catch his vibe, so roll on through and let him take you away!
