DUDJ Mix Series

French philosopher Georges Bataille once remarked: “I believe that truth has only one face: that of a violent bass and drum combo.”
The tone of the 27th mix by Sandy is filled with club heavy sounds, bringing out some of the finest contemporary Irish and UK underground dance sounds and wubs. 

Can you imagine a world without heavy bass sounds drenched in reverb and dubbed with top layers of riddims and airy pads? We couldn’t either, thankfully Sandy has delivered the goods, to deliver us from the banality of our existence with sounds that will force you to jump out of your chair at once and skank around in your room like a bellend.

Some of the tunes will make you want to commit seditious acts (acts which we can’t necessarily endorse here at DUDJ HQ, but might at least turn a blind eye to). The police siren that can be heard at 16:50 is because the beats are borderline illegal.
It is hard to construct a mix which moves between many subgenres smoothly while simultaneously ramping up the energy in an organic fashion. Sandy, however, carefully curates the sounds of artists such as Tim Reaper (big ups), Prozak, Sully, Van Wilkins, & Roaming Data.

DUDJ Mix Series 027: Sandy

The 28th instalment in our mix series is finally here and it is brought to you by S-Agenda.

The release timing is perfect with clubs reopening this week, she has put together a delicious mix filled with club-oriented, dance-inspiring sounds. 
Whether it’s icy pads and cavernous percussion, or squelching acid lines overdubbed with distorted drums and breaks, the mix radiates and reflects everything a club mix should be.

She has not confined the mix to one sound, instead there is an expert precision in fusing genres and seamless manoeuvring across the spectrum of 4x4 dance music. 

Featuring tracks from  Moodymann, DynArec, VOLRUPTUS, Paranoid London, Sidewinder aka D.Dan and the electro master Cyan85

DUDJ Mix Series 028: S-Agenda

Mix 29 in our series is brought to you by selector extraordinaire Gump Mode! As an integral member of the Shed Residents collective, he brings a passion for speedy beats together with an ear for melody and well-timed suspense. There is much to be said for fast techno but typing this is giving me carpal tunnel syndrome so I will refrain from doing so. 
Rolling stompers are of course to be expected anywhere you see the name Gump Mode – step into his world for an hour and hear the cavernous sounds at the forefront of no-frills hard techno.
Featuring tracks from I Hate Models, Kas:ST, ABR., and Les Garcons you don’t want to miss this one

DUDJ Mix Series 029: GUMP MODE

Mix number 30 in the DUDJ mix series is finally live! DJ Boyfriend brings an hour of contemplative ambient and bedroom beats to the table for a breath of fresh air here at DUDJ HQ. Just because the sun is gone doesn’t mean you have to do away with the bliss of neglecting assignments. The mix’s sonic palette is one of sonder, introspection, and lush arrangements. 
I say this for every mix but prepare to be transported by the airy synths and ethereal Foley sounds that would warm even the coldest selekta’s heart. There’s even like violins and stuff at one point it’s beautiful. Bet you weren’t expecting that from the DUDJ massif. 
This is something we haven’t heard in quite some time and is a marked change from the usual output of our mix series so be sure to give it a listen!

DUDJ Mix Series 030: DJ Boyfriend

Mix 31 in our series by Sahana Desert is finally here. We first met Sahana at the start of the year and she has since played at a few of our gigs, proving herself to be a fantastic selector. This mix packs a punch from start to finish. Expect no nonsense breaks, thick basses, and a healthy assortment of stretched out vocals.
If this doesn’t get you finger gunning and 2-stepping while “studying” in the Lecky, you may be beyond salvation. I found myself saying WOIII several times while listening not sure what I can say to entice you to listen other than that.
Featuring tracks from Coco Bryce, Overmono, Sully, K-65, and more!

Sweat Equity NYC marks its second entry into the world of wax with a super-heated four tracker from Vancouver’s acid queen, Overland. Adding another chapter to her growing discography, ‘Void Function’ is an undeniably propulsive addition to Overland’s ever-growing rave oeuvre.

Before relocating to Vancouver, Overland sharpened her skills in the snowy expanses of Alberta. A tireless DJ and promoter, she's hosted a score of all-nighters and club events across the city, making her mark as an enthusiastic booster of a vibrant scene.

Her tracks embody her DJ sets, a frenetic fusion of classic acid techno with fresh rave sensibilities, both razor-sharp and mind-expanding in the same breath. Her ability to connect scenes and sounds from across the globe found fertile soil quickly, and releases followed on Los Angeles-based Helpful Music and Lisbon’s finest purveyor of peak-time heaters, Naive.

Void Function is a tenacious step forward in the evolution of the banger, moving from up front scorchers to more meditative grooves that still rip.
Lead track "NASA" is a blistering alkaline thumper that melts straight into “Rain,” a melodic groover suitable for the first rays of morning light through warehouse windows. "Doubtful" returns to slammer country, bursting onto the B-side with swells of white noise and an utterly relentless rhythm that sets up the closing tune “Seasons,” which pulls dancers through a swirling torrent of hazy, flickering sonics, and a subtle sense of swing that serves as a perfect tool for winding the floor up, or cooling it down.

Void Function is a bold transmission from a singular artist and a certified a scorcher with room to spare for inter-dimensional dancefloor reveries.

Blue Morpho track by Majella (2020)

🦋The Blue Morpho is one of thirty species of butterfly in the subfamily Morphinae. Its dorsal forewings and hind-wings are bright iridescent blue, edged with black, while the ventral surfaces are brown 🦋


I’d like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land upon which I work and live, and where this track was created. I pay my respects to the people of Wurundjeri and pay my respects to Elders past and present.

Up next for the DUDJ Mix Series is David, who presents us with an hour-long peek into his melodramatic world that can readily serve as an audio accompaniment to his own art, which explores themes of histrionic sexuality. This mix ties up experimental club excursions and muscular techno cuts with a queer bow, with plenty of unexpectedly beguiling interludes of noise sprinkled throughout. A landmark addition to our ever-growing series!

Here are some words from David:

'The majority of tracks on this mix are from what I was listening to in May and June this year after foraging through soundcloud for artists that kept me interested. Primarily I was looking for techno/experimental by queer artists. Some of my favourites are featured like Ariel Zetina, LOFT, Odete and boygirl to name a few (give them a listen if you haven’t already!) 
To use a series of adjectives, it’s a chaotic, melancholic, melodramatic, playful and, at many points, HAUNTING arrangement of sounds that hopefully makes for a stimulating/over-stimulating listen. xxx'
