@StookiSound are one of the UK's biggest exports in the global industry of trap. They're both London residents meaning their interpretation of the genre is equally as Dalston as it is Dirty South. But y'know, trap isn't a new thing, it's been existing in a more rudimentary form since 36 Mafia started popping collars so it's fair game to anyone. Stooki have developed the genre into a one night stand between Southern US hip-hop and ADHD electronica and in the process created one of the biggest hits from this side of the Atlantic, "Ball So Hard" - a collaboration with fellow UK trapite, Hucci. That lead to a US tour that saw them joining their own mosh pits and LOLing at our British weather from afar. We caught up yesterday to talk Pokemon, being jetlagged and the problem with current trap. Oh, and there's an awesome half hour mix alongside as always.

@Knxwledge is a collage creator. A sample master whose beats sound like someone artfully flicking through a mixture of Sky Movie channel soundbites, YouTube videos and jazz breakdowns. The New Jersey native now lives out in Hollywood right in the epicentre of the West coast beat scene that classes the likes Brainfeeder as contemporaries. Amoeba Records is down the road. Chuck Strangers from Pro Era is practically his neighbour. The Alchemist pops in and out of the area to nab vinyls. It's an environment that Knx has feasted upon to the point where he's 15TB deep in hip-hop tinged instrumentals and a 12" catalogue that reaches into the thousands. But before scooping a half hour of exclusives and archive beats in this week's mix, we found out what Knx likes to put on his feet, his OCD tendencies and underrated rap groups.

Knx chose to keep the tracklist a secret.

Episode 1 comes from SE founding @michel-claus !

**Can you introduce yourself, tell us where you're from and/or currently based, and what it is you do? How you would describe your sound.**

My name is Michael Claus. I'm a music producer / DJ (among other things) and the founder of Silva Electronics. In terms of my sound, I’d say it has quite a bit of range that can go from left field and ambient leaning to heavy and distorted. Each release is a little bit different, but overall my music seems to retain a lightness and fun aspect to it. I'm originally from the Bay Area and spent the past 13 years in San Francisco, but recently relocated to Brooklyn, where I'm now based. Although I’ve been making music in some form for most of my life, I started Silva Electronics in 2017 and have been having a blast with it since. Thanks for tuning in and for your support.

**Tell us about the mix you've recorded for us.**

This mix is a special one. I recorded it in January 2024, prepping for a series of memorial club nights for my dear friend and San Francisco legend, Gregory Anthony Clarke aka Woo, who passed away in December 2023. Gregory and I DJ’d together as residents of the Outpost Party series in San Francisco (~2011-2016), organized by CM-4 (Cassidy Martin) & Nackt (Johnny Igaz).

For Woo’s events, I wanted to include tracks I loved playing at Outpost parties with him back in the day, whether we were DJing together or he was working the bar at UGSF. So the first half of the mix features recent digs, while the second half includes some old favorites from the Outpost era. It was amazing to relive those nights through these sounds while getting these playlists together. Huge shout out to Jimmy B of WERD SF for helping put those together.

I hope you enjoy it! Rest in Power, Woo! ❤️

**What are your upcoming projects or collaborations?**

Silva Electronics has a series of releases coming out over the next few months, including some from friends and a couple from me, which I'm very excited about! I'm also thrilled to start this new podcast series and get back to DJing and digging, alongside my music production. Keeping busy! 😁

**Tell us about the mix you've recorded for us.**

I put this mix together on a very snowy Saturday night in February, where everything outside was blanketed in white and it just kept coming down for hours. The view from my window was beautiful, and that cozy, surreal stillness definitely inspired the direction of the mix. Since I was posted up at home, I decided to go for a slower, more laid-back set that featured some of my favorite styles and sound palettes. We’re cooking low and slow here—downtempo sluggers, lush atmospheres, and staggered rhythms that drift behind and around the beat. It moves through different zones, starting mellow and hazy, building toward tripped-out house, minimal and dubby textures.

**Can you walk us through your creative process when approaching this mix?**

I wanted the mix to feel like it matched the color and mood of that snowy night—shades of purple, blue, and white. The idea was to explore the more psychedelic, melodic, and slightly off-kilter sides of downtempo and experimental club sounds. I started by gathering some of my favorite tracks in this realm and loosely organizing them by tempo. Then I hit record and just jammed, gradually increasing the tempo as the mix progressed. There are a few rough edges in there, but I chose not to re-record it. You can hear “me” in there. Definitely not AI ;)

Dian Nao Xin (fka as One Child Policy) is the sonic moniker of Dennis Ruowei Cao / 曹偌伟 , a Los Angeles based music producer, sound designer, DJ, and software engineer. Cao was raised by two electrical engineers brought up in China; they helped spark his fascination with electronic music at a very early age. 

His breakthrough debut, ​Cultural Transmissions​, released in November 2017, delivered a unique take on atmospheric techno, electro, acid and left-field house. It caught the attention of publications such as Resident Advisor, Mixmag and XLR8R. 

Soon after he released on labels such as Black Lodge (LA) , Guangzhou Underground (Guangzhou, China), and Arca's Mutants Mixtape. He runs an online radio show on Lower Grand Radio (Oakland) and has also appeared on various radio stations such as Rinse FM, NTS, The Lot Radio, Dublab, Currents.FM and others.
In late 2020, he started an electronic label called Dian Nao (电脑, “electronic brain”) with his latest EP It Mirrored Me (它反映了我), which garnered support on Apple Music editorial and Magnetic Mag.

His hybrid DJ sets explore a wide range of moody emotions and introspection through futuristic, psychedelic, hauntingly beautiful and melancholic strains of electronic music.
