Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
It helps me a lot to always be mindful of why I DJ, because every now and then I can feel a little burnt out! So for me personally I know that its my way of connecting with others and sharing myself – and really an act of service. So, I try not to ever forget that DJing is an act of self-care for myself - and keeping that in mind is such a good antidote to things like negative self-talk!

The 5th instalment in Graded podcast series comes from London's @otikmusic.
His track "Actress" opened INTGRD004 and now follows it up with the "Wetlands EP" which is out now - https://smarturl.it/INTGRD005. With releases on Keysound and 17 steps he's been turning heads and he's part of a new generation of producers continuing and pushing the lineage of UK hardcore, Bass and Weightless sounds. 

He has turned in a killer mix for us that represents where he is at both as a dj and producer right now, it keeps revealing things with every listen. This one is heavy. Listen / enjoy / share /dance / cook / wash hands to this one and then get him down to your party.
