@livwutang has really arrived on the world stage in the last year. The Seattle-raised, NYC-based artist came up through DIY raves and pirate radio and is now a regular at cult clubs and festivals across North America, as well as being booked in for next year's Dekmantel Selectors. Her sound freely moves between dub, Central and West Africa rhythms and a history of Black American music. All this comes out in her widescreen sets, her curation of the Eto Ano label and her hosting of their show on The Lot Radio.  

The confidence of her selections and ability to shift through moods from the serene to the deep, the energetic to the melodic is evident in this week's mix. It slowly works through the gears from dubbed-out depths to buoyant club rhythms via tribal techno. There is an ever-present mysticism and spirituality that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the body-popping rhythms and it's that which will keep you coming back for more.

Release Date: June, 24th, 2024
Info: Reptile Mob is back with a third part of its superb on going compilation series and this one looks at different aspects of the garage house sound. Side a-begins with some fresh four-four grooves no least the opener from the legend that is Perception with Andy G and S.R.'s dubby 'Let's Go' remix. Conspiracy Dubz keeps it bumping with the old school feels of 'Musical Rush' and on the B-side it is more of a 2-step sound that emerges with jazzy melodies and female vocals. Groovy D's 'Another Chance' is the real standout for us with its classic vocal sample worked into a nice kinetic rhythm.

Another year, another fun-focused, long, car-ride-optimized, tracky, improvised addition to my yearly tradition of making a road trip mix for the drive to Honcho Campout. 

This year things are a bit different as I am actually playing the festival opening slot. Thus, I've conceptually linked this mix by pulling tracks from the same massive playlist I will be djing from at Campout as a connective prologue of sorts (or a proxy if you can't make it or are arriving later than Wednesday a.m.). Safe travels!

Jay Duncan beams in for our next podcast with her 2024 set at The Packet Inn. An Adonis and Dalston Superstore regular, she sashays through 90 minutes of SXC house groovers, pumpers and jackers.

"I had the best time playing in that silly little pub! Unfortunately, I was clashing with my best friend Angel D'lite who was showing Sputnik how it's done, which was heart-breaking to leave!”. Afterwards, however, they discovered both had played Sunscreen’s ‘Perfect Motion’ peak set (albeit different mixes). “I thought that was such a beautiful moment of natural synchronicity, or as she likes to call it 'the mushroom network’.”

“I also closed my set with this crazy track by George Acosta called Might As Well Party (Jungle Mix) that I'd found the previous week. It's this slutty, chuggy, fast house record and it breaks down into some ragga tip and switches tempo and ramps up to full on jungle track and then just casually resumes into a slutty fun house record. I adore it and think it’s just such a laugh!!!"

Launching new label, Pond Water, this month, Jay christens it with her track ‘Horse That Shows’ on the 29th, while she has an EP coming on Trule in the New Year.

Reveal Yourself to the Pure Elements of Groove in the Afternoon

This set is a nature spell, an afternoon praise break, the trees shook with us as we followed the source energy through the drum beat with disco, house, gospel, all kinds of soulful music for the funky people of the rainbow. 

I am reminiscing to this. It brings me back to visions of the sun peaking as white light through clouds, the sweat, the incense, the smiles, the moments of elation and rhythmic sensation. 

Thank you for letting me play music from my heart for you this afternoon. My one woman jazz takes many bumps twists turns, and you all were there for the journey! It felt so good. Your energy & memories are diffused into these sounds now too. Gratitude to all the forces that brought me here, to be a conduit of joy - Dee Diggs

Ring in 2025 with a three-hour flex from a hero of UK club culture.

They don't make DJs like Lukas Wigflex anymore. The Nottingham DJ and promoter has a love for UK club culture that borders on the unfathomable—and he does it all with a gusto that is unmistakably, one hundred percent pure Lukas. 

Wigflex started out as a "Wigflex Wednesdays," a free bar night in Nottingham with two-for-one pizzas to hook punters in. In the 19 years since, it has grown into one of the UK's most established party series, welcoming dance music giants while still championing homegrown talent. Recalling its journey from a modest bar night to powerhouse party, he told Stamp The Wax: "I created a mixtape and called it Wigflex 2000. It all just evolved naturally from that." 

"Evolved naturally" is, perhaps, too modest. In an increasingly hostile operating environment, it's hard to overstate the achievement of Wigflex's longevity, a testament to his tenacity and distinctive spirit. Who else, let's be honest, could get away with taglining their event, "Survival of the Wrongest." But don't let the tongue-and-cheek persona fool you, mind—he's deadly serious about tunes. 

His RA Podcast is a window into what Wigflex is all about: electro in all its shades, from the Hauffian to the Drexciyan, alongside wigged-out EBM and a healthy amount of Wigflex classics.

Even if you didn't know it was coming from him, you would certainly get the impression it sounds a lot like somebody who adores dance music. What better way to ring in the New Year?

Sodha - Rex Club Reloaded

"Presenting a recent offering, set in a special space and on an occasion that happens just once a year. Through sunrise, everything and everyone came together to celebrate music, life, and freedom, embodying a spirit deeply embedded in Goa's DNA. The hope was to bring forward a storyline that felt one with the earth—peaks and troughs filled with both the unknown and introspective moments. 

I feel eternally blessed to have had this experience, connecting with so many people through music during my time here. I am deeply thankful to Rahul, Jill, and the Vaayu crew for their invitation and care." - @sunjuhargun

Back on track setting the tone for the new year with the highly anticipated EP "Speed to Burn" by T.E.C. This sonic journey blazes through a spectrum of tempos and moods, delivering five dynamic tracks that navigate effortlessly from floaty downtempo atmospheres to high-octane peak-time bliss.

On the A-side, "Angle Grinder" takes center stage as a club-ready anthem with snappy drums and trippy chords, destined to elevate energy levels. Following suit is "Hi Set & Lo Set," a meditative piece that glides through a serene ambient landscape, offering a mixed excursion of airy textures and subtle dynamics.

Flipping to the B-side, "Myriad" goes off with a trippy, pumping jam that’s as captivating as it is infectious. Next up, "7001 On Plastic" kicks in with a fast-forward techy chugger—a proper peak-time weapon designed to ignite the dance floor. Closing out the EP, "Wasp" delivers a phased-out, downtempo voyage that lures listeners into a hypnotic state with its breezy, introspective flow.

With "Speed to Burn," T.E.C. delivers a masterclass in versatility, showcasing a rich tapestry of sounds that perfectly encapsulate Serenity Now’s ethos. This EP promises to light up dance floors while offering moments of introspection—an essential addition to any selector's collection.
