[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!

Blind Faith

A bit of this (ukg) and abit of that (pop edits) from TAMAN, the early 2000s baby that just wants world peace.

[29] (studio) picnic guest with: TAMAN

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.
