Based in Stockholm since the late 1990s, British-born Mark Seven began his obsession with the dance at now vaunted London parties such as Delirium, to a soundtrack of Soul, Funk, and Hip Hop. As Acid House took root in the capital Mark became a regular at the similarly hallowed Future and Shoom and started organizing his own events. His passion for discovery led him to journey to the U.S. and Europe to source vinyl, and has resulted in his own on-line store, JusWax. In Stockholm Mark set up the Black Lodge all-nighters, mix-tapes from which helped to alert the outside world to his knowledge and ability. 

Mark is probably one of the best selectors around and is making a journey over here next month (details of that here: http://on.fb.me/1dwxT5v). 

With that in min we thought it was high time we asked him to formulate a mix for the R$N series.

For Episode 02 of the Balearic London mix series we're joined by the amazing Jaye Ward. Jaye is an expert at all things weird and wonky, from ambient to techno, and in this mix she explores the trippier sides of balearic. DJ Harvey selected her several times to support him - be it at his album launch or clubs like KOKO - so you know she must be excellent with his stamp of approval. Expect the unexpected and dive in.

You can see Jaye play the upstairs room at our party this Saturday 19th July at 17 Little Portland Street, with Willie Graff headlining. Sign up here to join us: https://www.little-portland.com/booking-options-htfs

Trujilo's Mix September 2025

Is the art of DJing slowly dying? 😔

The modern world moves fast. Too fast. There’s no need to go to the record store anymore - just download the Beatport Top 10. No need to spend years learning to beatmatch, the sync button’s got you covered. No need to train your ear for harmony, Rekordbox shows you the key. No need to think about timing, auto loops will make it fit. And who listens to a full mix anymore when algorithms reward 30-second clips? With every new feature, every software update, a little bit more of the artistry dies.

Remember the days when DJs spent years digging through crates to find that one record that made them feel something? When you saved your hard-earned money to buy a piece of wax for your collection? When you learned to ride the pitch, to keep two tracks locked in time by feel alone? When you listened to keys, phrasing, and energy without looking at waveforms?

Mixing vinyl comes with imperfections, you hear the pitch drift when you nudge the platter, the dust crackling under the needle, the slight distortion as the record wears, the external FX falling just out of time. But it’s in those imperfections where the art lives. That’s what makes it human, unique, and beautiful. That’s what makes it real.

How Much Is Enough Vol. 2 is the second in a series of all-vinyl mixes, crafted with love. It's for those who still believe in the beauty of imperfection. For those that still believe in art of DJing.

How Much Is Enough? Vol. 2

Bevan's DJ sets, rather than follow trends, are always a direct reflection of his current musical rotation built around constantly searching for records and picking up new lifelong favourites along the way.
His record bag centres around vocal-led garage house sounds from the US in the early 90's, along with choice boogie and soul cuts that preceded it.<br><br>
Born in London and based in Amsterdam, after studying a Masters degree in Musicology, Bevan is now working at Rush Hour Records.

Boot is a collector and selector from Nijmegen whose passion lies in world and disco music. Sounds from africa, brasil and island music like zouk or soca are often being played in his sets. 
On the other hand Boot is deeply invested in italo, house and other electronic grooves. He finds his eclectic way of blending it al together in his sets.
