Underground & Black w/ Ash Lauryn 220224

The weather is starting to warm up and we have a hot new contribution to our mix series from our good friend and resident DJ @zo2🏆 Alonso (Summer League) is a part of @footworkcoffeeservice here in Los Angeles and has also contributed to various radio stations such as NTS and dublab. You can also find his artistic direction not only with footwork coffee service but with some of our flyers as well ;-) 

As Alonso mentioned on this mix-

“It’s a baggy one with lots of stuff I’ve been sitting on that I haven’t found a chance to play out as well as some newer bits I’ve discovered and had on rotation. Lots of head bob material eliciting an assortment of emotions. Hope you find something in there you like.”

MIX08 - DUVET DAVE

"This guest mix from elder brother Duvet Dave, could be a never-ending summer’s day from start to finish: starting slow with a smoke laying in a meadow or on the beach; drifting in a glistening lake or ocean; some summertime spritz (or Guinness) action with friends; and then into “one of those nights”, one that burns long and bright in the memory."

The mix traverses times & genres, moving from ambient, downtempo & trip hop, to boogie & Italo and onwards to balearic, Latin & dream house vibes with some acid flecks along the way.

Dust Down Records, the South London label helmed by brothers Duvet Dave and Joeginho, brings you a musical journey that spans continents and eras.

How much is enough?

How much is enough? Vol 1

You can wear a thousand masks without ever dressing up. A game of expressions, gestures, and words can be nothing more than a facade, a shimmer, an illusion. A smile without joy. A tear without sorrow.
How are you? “Good!”
Nothing is as it seems - or at least, rarely is. Or is it?

Rude Boy loosely translated: misbehaving boy, troublemaker.
In this song, the character repeats these words to himself over and over, rapidly, almost as a mantra trying to believe them by force. It becomes an outward-facing shield meant to maintain its effect. This constant repetition continues until exhaustion sets in and only then can he begin to question everything.

It’s time to realize who he once was:
A boy.

Of course, this character is also a part of me. As an artist, the creative process is an ongoing act of questioning everything. An emotional rollercoaster.
Each new piece opens up new philosophical themes.
Am I still myself or have I become a reflection of the market?
Who could possibly grasp the thoughts and emotions flowing through my body when I stand on stage and perform my music?
What expectations do I project onto the music itself?

On social media, the mask fits perfectly. Always positive. Good vibes only!
That’s what I kept telling myself.
But life isn’t like that—and we can only truly appreciate and enjoy the light if we’re willing to look at, accept, and allow the dark as well.

Yin needs yang. Black needs white—and vice versa.
And that’s okay with me.
I’m happy being the grown man who still carries a child within 
embracing the full spectrum of emotion.Rather than following conventional narratives, @Skydrips embraces ambiguity and softness as acts of quiet strength. These tracks don’t shout. They listen. They ask. They shift between states of questioning and letting go, between social masks and personal truth, between the need to protect and the desire to connect.
This is music for those who feel out of step with the world yet deeply connected to something greater. It speaks to the ones who carry contradictions, who challenge fixed identities, and who believe that real transformation begins where defense mechanisms end.
Sonically subtle yet emotionally charged, the EP offers a soundscape where tension dissolves into introspection. With deep rhythms, atmospheric layers, and a voice that is more invitation than instruction, Skydrips invites the listener to pause, reflect, and gently reassemble themselves.
