My lovely friends at www.redlightradio.net were in Los Angeles recently and we collaborated, hosting a pop-up broadcast at Mount Analog. Alongside myself, we had a full day of LA's most beautiful DJs on duty — Secret Circuit, Dirty Dave, Heidi Lawden and the Mount Analog staff themselves. This is my set from the end of the day, everyone was exceptional!

Lovefingers + Heidi Lawden - Mayan Warrior - Tuesday - Burning Man - 2015

As you would expect of someone called Lovefingers, American DJ and producer Andrew Hogge has a very special touch when it comes to making, playing and releasing emotionally involving, blissed out music. Hailing from LA, he runs the magical ESP Institute label and is also half of The Stallions as well as being a self-proclaimed hippie. That always comes through in the organic, loved up music he works with, and visual aesthetics always seem just as important to him as musical ones. 

The romantic and intoxicating mix he serves up is dedicated to Red Light Records owner Tako Reyenga and Mule Musiq affiliate Kuniyuki Takahashi. It is a loose-limbed, love-fuelled and fully horizontal delight made up of underlapping grooves, oriental motifs and gluey pads. The second half touches on more physical drums but also offers up yet more heavenly ambiance, bird song and jumbled percussion that will have you reaching for your shades and dreaming of summer.

Collaborations are formed any which way. It could be an accidental night of creative bliss that brings two artists into alliance or even an unforeseen emergency. For us it was a slow ride of chance musical encounters that formed the Honey beehive. One of the most magical artistic bonds though comes from another place, the unifying element of romance. People are often scared to call it as it is for fear it will stigmatize the art-form, but the masses can't get enough of a creative power-couple. Honey can't get enough either, and we jumped at the chance to book a DJ-duo who calls for one king size bed in their rider. That said, we aren't one for cheap gimmicks (ok that might be a white lie), the spark of a good collaboration or b2b is hard to fake. So it might have taken us a second to warm up to the idea that Lovefingers & Heidi Lawden were as good a DJ pair as they are solo acts. That being said, a couple of months ago we got the pleasure of witnessing them rock L.A. dancers in a DTLA warehouse... it was absolute next-level.

So how sweet it is that we get to present to you the FIRST studio mix the duo has presented together. A two hour long journey inspired by what these two think will make Honey Soundsystem fans move to, including more than a few deep crate pulls, a signature element of their sets.

If you are in San Francisco this weekend, you can find these two taking the reigns for an extended set and their HNY debut. Tickets are available here:

HNYPOT 211: Lovefingers & Heidi Lawden's Fruits Of Labor Mix

Recorded live at Hostal la Torre, Ibiza during sunset, Summer 2016.

[MIX] Lovefingers - Live in Ibiza at Sunset (Hostal La Torre - August 30, 2016)

We’ve been friends and fans of Andrew for years, his legendary Lovefingers blog and podcast was an early source of inspiration for us. His ESP Institute label is one of the best places to find weird and wonderful forwarding thinking music, so we’re super happy to bring you a special mix from him! 

As usual we had a chat with him to see what he’s been up to:

“Just back from New York City, Europe and Australia tours and have been super busy gearing up ESP Institute releases for Summer. Its been a very busy year for the label, been digging loads of new strange music from around the world, and theres been loads more raves in Los Angeles these days… time flies when you’re having fun.

This mix was recorded in the record room beneath my house in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles… in the middle of the night.

I wanted to play some tough tunes that I don’t play out much and get premiere a few ESP Institute exclusives and tracks from friends as well. I feel its important as ever to keep pushing new and forward-thinking music, rather than always looking to the past, so I started off with an old leathery fave then worked through some contemporary material—drugged-out and oddball moment, then ending on an ethereal note as I usually like to do.”

Andrew Hogge is better known to you as Lovefingers and kicks-off our Liner Notes-project with the first mix in our new podcast-series by Red Light Radio & Sonos. But just as every podcast takes you on another journey, every track has its own story. It’s something we personally would love to show you more with this series. We will not only highlight the artist and the mix, but we will also pay attention to the background stories of the songs that are used to give you a full experience. To eventually create something special, we invite our favourite selectors and friends who are close to our hearts to look into their record collection for loads of hidden gems.

We’re starting our ride with a walking music encyclopedia: Lovefingers. The head honcho of ESP Institute is known for his exquisite taste and unique pick of records that you (most of the time) have never heard before. As a teenager, Andrew was introduced to diverse and interesting music through his parents, who collected Surf and R&B (his dad) and Classical (his mother, who was a multi instrumentalist), but it was the drumming in a band that led him to such genres as Punk, Garage and Skate-Rock. While expanding his taste into Soul, Funk and Breaks, Andrew also became obsessed with Psychedelic, Jazz and Kraut records. HIs first DJ gigs reflected his love for beats, and eventually led him into the world, of Disco, House and Techno.

Whilst mostly focusing on the late eighties with this mix, Andrew has turned a lovely journey through a diverse blend of Ambient, Rock, Blues, Disco, World Music and Folk. A full track list, including all the corresponding background stories, can be find below. Andrew was kind enough to give a personal touch to this by sharing his thoughts about some of his picks as well.

Oldie but a goodie! I went on Beats In Space in 2009 and made this mix "Lullabies" for my newborn son. Finally uploaded it to Soundcloud. Mellow vibe, lay down and sink in.
