@layla-rutherford has been on our radar for a while and finally played for us on the beach at Dekmantel Selectors in the summer. Her first EP came all the way back in 2014 and was an exemplary and delicate deep house offering co-produced by Floating Points. A year later, she returned the favour by providing vocals for his majestic Elaenia album. Since then she has been a regular on the likes of Worldwide FM and NTS with tasteful selections that cover downtempo, gospel, house and plenty in between.  

Layla recorded this week's all vinyl mix with two decks and an E&S mixer. It is a perfectly homely selection of soulful songs and gospel goodies interspersed with lo-fi rollers from Omar S, well swung US garage and funk nuggets from around the world. There is no formula and no predictable arc to this mix, just plenty of feel-good music served up with love. Perfect.

One Time (feat. Jords)

112 KBPS FILES - DON'T BE A DUNCE!

Midnight Runners comes to Razor-N-Tape with a 12” of Southern Hemisphere disco gold! Harry Septiandry has been gaining traction with standout releases on Darker Than Wax and Star Creature under his Munir alias, and for his RNT debut he serves up four extra special reworks of obscure disco from his native Indonesia. The source material would stump even the most savvy of ears, but Harry finds the universal in these rare gems, augmenting the grooves and preserving just the right bit of camp for super sunny spin!

AIN'T NO JUNGLE IN THE CITY

NATTY WINE BAR

Love from Helsinki to all TINPE crew! This is Ocean People, sometimes known as DJ Anonymous. My city is great, but also pretty far out, so I’ve been doing mixes to connect with folks since I was a kid – 1995 to be exact.

I bring you a selection of 70’s Philadelphia productions that I absolutely ADORE. 

There Is No Planet Earth readers know that Philly as a sound played a pivotal role in the evolution of dance music. I discovered it 20 years after the fact in the 90’s – and it was a REVELATION. 

I have vivid memories of hearing My Love Is Free (by Double Exposure, produced by Norman Harris) for the first time. I was like, what are these uplifting rhythms & melodies? How can a song be almost 10 minutes and still go so hard? Where can I find more? 

This set me on a path of music discovery that has come to define my life & DJ practice. Philly led to the full spectrum of 70’/80’s dance music, which in turn led to house and all of its children. 

And here I am, 25+ years later, still getting hyped over Norman Harris productions. 

Philly producers left us with larger-than-life songs that will never die (Love Is The Message, anyone?). This guest mix showcases selections that hold the same amazing power, but never got the same attention. Many are special edits – by myself & others. I hope you enjoy the vibe.

Philly❤️
