Six hours recorded at one of my favourite clubs in the world, between the hours of 6am and 12pm. 
I absolutely loved doing this - taking the party deeper and deeper into after hours, and bringing everyone back to consciousness again in the second half. 
I LOVE NYC!

Brian Leeds has spent a decade exploring electronic music’s murky corners under a range of aliases – from blown-out house and ambient to deep-fried trap and drill. As Loidis, he released one of 2024’s best albums, the minimalist dub techno LP ‘One Day’. 

Now, returning to his primary @huerco_s handle, the Philadelphia-based shapeshifter records a two-hour mix of rhythmic psychedelia for DJ Mag's Recognise series, and speaks to Michael McKinney about his family ties to the Jersey Devil, growing up in bands, his West Mineral Ltd. label, and learning to slow down.

Starting life as an offshoot label to Simple Records, @ausmusic has become a proving ground for some of dance music’s most exciting upcoming artists. Moving from post-dubstep to bass-driven house, techno and beyond over the course of 200 releases and almost 20 years, it has helped launch the careers of artists like Bicep, Dusky, Midland, Cinthie and Mark Hawkins. 

Alongside a mix from its catalogue, Kristan J Caryl talks to label founder Will Saul about staying true to his musical tastes, how he uncovers new artists and how he’s achieved longevity.
