through music

[22] (studio) picnic guest with: Dj Streaks

The lazy boys take us through an hour of fine tuned selections of rare dubby tech-house finds and wonky minimal steppers. 

[23] (studio) picnic regular with: Lazzzywax (Dowd B2B DJ Peach Iced Tea)

Renao’s own provide 1 steamy hour of stripped back, warm, dubby and minimal sounds. 

[24] (studio) picnic guest with: Renao (Fitze & Z.e)

A vinyl-only selection, bringing small hours, heads down energy. Tune in for some fine deep slung grooves, chuggy tech house cuts and wibbly electro rollers. Bon appetite!

Fasten your seatbelt in the back of your parent's car, press your forehead to the glass, and cue the soundtrack to your early-2000s daydream. 

Our very own NACE takes you back to hazy childhood memories with an hour of ethereal vocals and slow-burning, sub-100 bpm soundscapes. Recorded live at a candlelit Studio Picnic as the sun set over Liverpool on a sleepy Sunday afternoon.

Urban sounds were collected around Z-Arts in Hulme, Manchester by all participants.
