As the reel spins on Shell Tape number eight, we turn our ears 'n' eyes to across the Nullarbor for two seamlessly stitched together iso-rave mixes from Naarm (Melbourne) based party crew High Ground.

Headed up by J.P. Sebastian and Master Sofu they've been putting together brain tickling bespoke parties for yonks, while also forging strong friendships with DJs and crews based on our beautiful west coast. Dedicated to their scene and people who make it up, they're everything we treasure about dance music.

Their mix exemplifies that - it's danceable, fun, and packed full of timeless contemporary rave and club sounds. J.P. Sebastian humbly says it best: "I reckon it's a pretty good showcase of who we both are individually as DJs. Elliot took the 1st half, and there's a whole lot of sensibility to it and feels like a proper musical journey. I, on the otherhand, just play really raw club tracks ha, my set's pretty much just a selection of 90s trance records. Sween shared the upcoming Tone Dropout 9 with us, so we've both dropped a track each from that release so there's that as well." 

Crab Claw and High Ground were meant to be showcasing Dawl and Sween's Tone Dropout label inna big party style this past weekend - plans which never eventuated for obvious and reasons. 

In lieu of that, we present this mix to fuel your own party, wherever that may be. Esketit!
