Yet another diamond in the rough from down under, Sydney-based Steele Bonus has played quite a crucial role in our family tree. Since having crashed on the floor in Lovefingers' downtown Manhattan flat for over a month, back in 2007, Steele and the ESP Institute have maintained a robust dialogue in terms of forgotten and rare music from around the world. You may consider this mix an introduction to an enlightened mind.

GABRIELA MIX #5 ~ DJ LLOYD

Jeremy Castillo rolls in with bag full of swag to deliver a 100 minutes of no-nonsense, sleaze packed joints built for the open road. One of the heads behind San Francisco’s infamous wine hole Bar Part Time, he channels the spirit of cigarette-stained leather booths and dimly lit dance floors into a mix dripping with attitude. Expect Rock-tinged Disco, strutting basslines, and plenty of grit, all primed for a cruise down the boulevard. Whether you’re behind the wheel or perched up at the bar, this one hits like the first sip after a long day on the tools.

Studio Session w/ Colectivo Miramar (10/06/25)

PLASTIC FANTASTIC is very pleased to be relaunching the series with an exclusive guest-mix from Sanky Was Here.

For the uninitiated, would you please tell us a little bit about yourself?

‘Hola, my name is Sanky, I can't seem to shake a childhood nickname at 52..! Anyway, I grew up in Newcastle amongst some nerdy soul and jazz types which was kind of my first and probably last love. I live in Mexico currently’.

Can you provide some insights to your mix, its inspiration, location of recording, or perhaps a few words about some of the records you’ve included?

‘As I don’t have an address here, I spend a while building up (my record collection) either back in the UK or in NYC, and a few times a year I’ll rip them all. So the mixes take a while, but I like that it’s another ‘edit’ to what I really like longterm. I think this mix is genre-free and focused on mood. I do think of it as a mix of two halves, really focused around what’s in the bag for the summer, and with a few places I’m playing in mind. Just trying to send out some love and emotional connection. There's a couple of new discoveries and weird rarities, alongside some all-time winners that I just feel are good for a summer kick-off. Mama Milk (the 2nd track on the mix) just reminds me of some hazy Ibiza afternoons, and who would’ve thought there’s ANOTHER William Pitt record worth a late night dance too!’

Are there any upcoming projects you have in the pipeline which you would like to share?

‘Well, good question. Covid got me fiddling with Ableton and learning (failing!) to play some keyboards. I made a few sketches which I have told myself I should finish this year. It’s about as close to naive pop as you can get. I played some to a couple of people and they were more enthusiastic than myself about them for sure!
Other than that, playing a couple of festivals, the mighty Love International in Tisno/Croatia in July, and the We Out Here Festival in August.’

A big thanks to Sanky Was Here for providing this awesome mix for The Sunrise Mixtapes, and for taking time out to speak to us

30/5/25 - bush of ghosts - 11-3am 

fOR THE PAST 5 YEARS, I’VE WORKED CLOSELY WITH IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON’S CENTRE FOR PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH. I’VE CURATED MUSIC FOR 2 TRIALS, HOPING TO TREAT PATIENTS WITH TREATMENT-RESISTANT CONDITIONS SUCH AS CHRONIC PAIN AND GAMBLING ADDICTION. DURING THE TRIAL THEY ARE GIVEN AN ‘HEROIC’ DOSE OF SYNTHETIC PSILOCYBIN (AKA MAGIC MUSHROOMS), HEADPHONES AND A BLINDFOLD. THEY LISTEN TO THE MUSIC I SELECT FOR UP TO 8 HOURS WHILST TRANSITIONING THROUGH 6 PHASES OF PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCE.

FOR MY SET AT WATCHING TREES YOU WILL HEAR SOME OF THE MUSIC I’VE SELECTED FOR THESE TRIALS.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A FOUR HOUR JOURNEY, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND FORGET ABOUT YOUR PHONE

RR x Golden Goose - Danilo Plessow (MCDE) exclusive set

Sometimes we happen to take some of the fundamental aspects that guide our main mission for which this platform is a crucial resource for granted, even if we never underestimate their place in what makes it something singular amid the multitude of similar content that can be found online. Take eclecticism for example, a quintessential characteristic of every single contribution to the series and an overall quality that is pursued by each of the guests we have in the construction of their deeply personal musical narratives. Not a mean feat, if we take into account the sheer diversity of rhythmic patterns and harmonic structures involved that need to be concatenated cohesively or, at the very least, sequenced harmoniously to be able to engulf us in its motional thrust and emotional pull. The greatness of all the mixes featured in this collection lies in the fact that they rely mostly on both a delicate play of moods and an intricate balance of forces, managing to harness their energy and use it towards stimulating our bodies, exciting our senses, enticing our minds and warming our hearts in the process. This episode is no exception, quite the opposite, as Lago brings his singular selective sensibility and elegant use of skills to weave an enthralling thread of gliding grooves that intertwine with alluring melodies from all over the globe.
