Local icon, LOIF, needs no introduction, carving out a sound (LOIF tek??) that has truly become its own. Whether it be bleepy idm, dnb, doify psy, or textural minimal, LOIF is one of the most talented and diverse deejays/producers we know. We feel very lucky to be able to share this mix with you xx

INTERVIEW: https://deeprhythms.com/guest_mixes/143_matt_cowell_for_deeprhythms/

If you're plugged into the London music scene, chances are you've crossed paths with Matt Cowell. Since landing in London, he's been collaborating with key events and labels like Ransom Note, Optick, Viscera and Not An Animal. 

At Ransom Note, Matt is instrumental in curating the residency at The Social, which has hosted legends like Optimo and emerging acts like Baba Ali. Beyond the club booth his radio projects — "Too Hot To Sleep" on Radio Vilnius and shows with Ransom Note on Kiosk and Netil Radio — showcase his knack for eclectic, boundary-pushing selections.

The mix Matt recorded is an excellent showcase of his ability to create unforgettable dance floor moments that are as diverse as they are thrilling.

@bencowper

I first met Ben Cowper in Berlin at the Hypersoft party and it was no-brainer to ask him for a mix after hearing his superb b2b set DJ Teeth

INTERVIEW: https://deeprhythms.com/guest_mixes/144_cowper_for_deeprhythms/

Ben, who goes by Cowper, is a DJ, record collector, and the mind behind Between Stations, a radio show that’s grown into a party and now a label. In this chat, we talk about his journey into music, the label’s vision, and the records that shaped him.

"I’m quite comfortable with playing slower, chuggy records. So I wanted to test myself by recording a faster vinyl only dance set. This is the result!"

@etcha-1

INTERVIEW: https://deeprhythms.com/guest_mixes/145_enzio_etchaberri_for_deeprhythms/

There’s something uniquely grounding about a conversation with someone like Enzio Etchaberri. The type of person who finds joy in the act of digging, discovering, and sharing music with the world. As a DJ, music producer, and programmer for one of Berlin’s most iconic clubs Enzio carries a deep respect for the roots of electronic dance music. All the while keeping an eye on its evolving future. Whether locked in his Lichtenberg studio or playing in the thick of Berlin’s nightlife his approach feels thoughtful, deliberate, and intensely human.

Thinking back to a fall morning last year in Sisyphos’ Wintergarten I can’t help but smile. It was one of those often times rare instances when everything – the music, the colors, the energy – came together to remind you why we gather in these spaces. No phones, no rush.

It’s those moments that Enzio seems to understand so well, and it’s exactly why I’m excited to share this conversation and the his wonderful mix with to you, our listeners!

"This time of year is about contemplation and finding inner cosiness. Therefore I selected some music that makes me transcend my daily worries and provide me with warm feelings. I hope you as a listener will experience something similar."

@annakohlin
INTERVIEW:
https://deeprhythms.com/guest_mixes/147_anna_kohlin_for_deeprhythms/

"So the mix, can you tell us a little something about that? 

Lately, I’ve been drawn to rolling tech-house from the ‘90s and early 2000s. There’s something about the way they lock into a groove that somehow feels timeless. So there’s a few records with that theme in the mix along with more house and melodic-heavy cuts.

I really enjoy the dynamic and contrast blending genres and old & new tracks to create these shifts in energy with a sense of push and pull. Around 29mins in you can hear an upcoming release of mine 🙂 "

Anna Kohlin has been shaping Stockholm’s underground from the inside. A long-time fixture behind decks and party lineups she sure knows how to read a room and flip it.

Her sets splice 90s house, tech-house, and breaks with newer oddities. Her approach is as precise as it's loose but never too clean. Expect gear shifts not gradients.

If you’ve danced at Stockholm venues such as Under Bron, NEU or anywhere slightly off-grid, you’ve likely caught her in her element.

As a producer, she’s released on Slump Recordings, Dirty Hands, KMA60, and Makemake Tapes. Her label, Inside Out, leans on the sound of the underground with cuts from Basement Space, Baby Rollén, Eric OS and herself.

INTEVIEW: http://bit.ly/steffan-todorovic-for-dr

My Coymix Ltd label partner in crime, the Gestalt Records & Hidden Assets main man and ½ of the Abdul Raeva production duo (and an overall super nice guy) Steffan T sat down for a chat and to record his 2nd guest mix for the DR series (1st one under the Gestalt Recs. alias). Currently residing in Tallinn, Steffan is keeping himself busy with all things related to music.

"So the mix, can you tell us a little something about that? 

Over the past 12 months so much good music has surfaced, most likely because of the isolation and everything. So I wanted to put together a selection of what would’ve, under normal circumstances, been my ‘go-to club hammers’ this year.

There are also a few forthcoming bits inside, so keep an eye out for these in the new year. Enjoy! "
