Newworldaquarium - Stars

PUDGE - Blips Ahoy Mate

The first couple Max D releases, like ’09-’10, were issued via RAMP Recordings (somewhat of a dubious label in terms of payout, Ras G (RIP) called the owner dude Suge White a few times and…ay, truth is truth). One of my many sick label mates on that situation was PUDGE, and I remember hearing something of his and just pursuing everything else possible. This is from those deeply important LA 10”s that All City put out in 2009ish. The tightest sloppiness, unreal to me at the time. Still hits so hard.

LL Cool J - Boomin System

Tara Cross - Alphabetical Numbers

Arpanet - The Analyst

Madhouse - Eleven

Chaka Khan - Some Love

This is perhaps my only example of “discovering” a song via the normal method that this mix-series focuses on, like Shazam etc. I actually have never had Shazam on my phone, but asked somebody in the car I was riding in to find out what this was. My parents listened to Rufus & Chaka growing up, but I was not hip at all to this utter banger. Embarrassingly, I even already had the record at my house, just hadn’t ever peeped this song, like a dum dum.

Eddie Henderson - Scorpio - Libra

Charlie Rouse - Hopscotch

Bengt Berger Bitter Funeral Beer Band (w Don Cherry) - Tongsi

Northeast Groovers - Live Tape from 95

Max D’s mix for us is largely an ode to the DMV in the decades spanning the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Similarly to the label curation of Future Times and Max D's collaborations, the mix is stitched together not by a certain sound, but by memory, feeling, and an essence of funk across genre. Cascading, loopy jazz, DC radio station-honkers, and quintessential go-go, among other tunes, await inside.

ETOANO Pr. HodgePodge Mix 008: Max D

ADAB @ The Lot Radio Block Party 2022

Unpredictable as both a DJ and an event organizer, Seattle's @grymnk brings a fresh, community-centered energy to the North American dance music scene and beyond. From throwing notorious raves in rented mansions and other unconventional spaces and bringing together international favorites and local heroes, to playing alongside artists like Ayesha, Object Blue, and Azu Tiwaline, grymnk is an energetic force. Their mix for Spontaneous Affinity is trippy, wonky, and devilishly fun.

Read the interview:
spontaneous.zone/046-grymnk

"When I made this mix, I had a couple weeks of being alone and to be honest things got a little weird. I think this will come through when you listen.

When I imagined people listening to this, my hope was that they would hear the struggle, the mental illness, but also the celebration of oneself and the wiggle of dancing in a room alone."

Overtown - Step into Silence EP (Offworld141)

Release date : October 31st 2025 at the Offworld bandcamp store and worldwide at all good outlets.

Pre-Save/Pre-Order: https://hypeddit.com/overtown/stepintosilenceep

We're delighted to welcome Dmytro Iarovyi (Overtown) for his debut EP on Offworld.
Hailing from Kyiv, Ukraine, Overtown is a Drum & Bass producer and sound designer specializing in the Liquid and Deep sides of the genre.

Opening the EP in fine style, 'No More' sets the tone with driving energy, cinematic atmospheres, and melodic touches wrapped around a sparse yet emotive vocal.
He then joins forces with Roi_S on the title track 'Step Into the Silence,' a beautifully deep liquid excursion infused with subtle eastern flavours.
'Mon Cure' dives further into the deep end - a hypnotic journey of chunky drums, low slung muted bass, and delicate guitar and vocal textures.
Rounding things off, 'Empty Heart' closes the EP with a gentle, vocal-led contemporary stepper with layers of synths, arps and ethereal strings.
