We are delighted to welcome Bizarre Trax's Oliver.r onto the podcast series with a classy selection spanning through broken beat, lo-fi, disco and house. 

The mix is littered with intricate drum patterns, melodic chord structure and as to be expected Bizarre Trax basslines. The blend is narrated perfectly through Oliver's tight selection and well executed mixing, allowing the dominant synths and pads to navigate you through the journey.

We know Mac @InternationalMac from 'down the front' at Paris parties circa 2017/18 before he moved to Berlin with Tau Car. A good friend since then, we are happy to invite him to lay down a mix of his very distinctive & funky, sample based house.

GHOSTCAST 026 - INTERNATIONAL MAC

We’re thrilled to present an exclusive, 100% Unreleased Mix from East London-based producer and crate digger, Duncan Thomas. A bit of a production guru, Duncan has built a solid reputation for his style and deep musical knowledge.

 With a wealth of releases on respected labels such as Hoove, Silky Beats, Animal Crossing, Howl and Space Tours, Duncan brings a fresh collection of unreleased gems to this mix—many of which are being heard outside of a live show environment for the very first time.

A former music production tutor at London Sound Academy, Duncan now runs his own creative hub, Duncan Thomas Studio, where he continues to mentor up-and-coming artists and refine his craft.

This mix is a signature showcase of Duncan’s sound: a fusion of funk-driven grooves, emotive harmonies, and immersive atmospheres that transport listeners on a true sonic journey.

Keep an ear out for upcoming releases with Low Money Music Love, Growing Pleasures, and more, this one’s not to be missed!

Next party Saturday 3rd May w/ Maxime dB & Georgia: https://ra.co/events/2133406

Kicking the guests & associates roster off is a good friend of the party, TC, AKA “King of the blends,” with some heavy hitting house. Regulars will have seen TC playing our parties from the first London days; he is equally at home on daytime slow jam duty as he is later with on with us in the club (or at the afters). We know this man is a Digger, and it's great to hear him stretch his legs over an hour of all sorts. 

Some words from TC on this mix:

"Woke up early on a Saturday so thought i’d use the morning to piece together the mix. Plan was to keep it pretty deep to reflect my new buys but did pull out a few pumpers from the collection. 
Nothing like playing wax to keep you locked into the blend."

Youandewan - 13th April 2025

This month’s episode, which welcomes Berlin based, LA bred producer and DJ, @SteveHuerta. 

Huerta moved to Berlin over a decade ago, seeking out the same dancefloor pleasures as all who make the pilgrimage to Berlin. With a central goal of making dance music, Steve cut his teeth producing and releasing on indie tech house labels, finding joy in creation. In the years since, despite breaking through with LPs like Junipero and TV Slang, a homegrown label called Leizure, and DJ sets that take him to festivals and dancefloors around the world, his joy continues to stay rooted in expression and creativity;  the simple pleasures of making and playing music. 

In this episode, we look back on a career spent persevering in an overly saturated Berlin music scene, the challenges of trying to make it as an artist, and the dedication required to stay afloat as a musician in 2025.
