Ringing in the next edition of the FAST_CAST mix series is London-via-NYC DJ @john_x. Currently based in East London, John has spent over a decade in both New York and London scenes, supporting artist communities, DJing and throwing grassroots parties. Some words from John about his mix:

“I tend to favor a sound that is equal parts driving, but also emotive and melodic, in nature. In this instance, I pulled together a collection of tracks that I feel have a certain overarching cinematic quality about them, despite stylistic or genre differences.”
