Number 23 is an enigma. Regarded as lucky and unlucky. Sinister and sacred. Well in this instance it’s breeding pure positivity, and means we are excited to bring you the 23rd edition of our Breathecast, from top Ljubljana selector Izza.

Well-versed in the nuances of the vibrant music scene and culture present in her home town, Izza went from promoter to omnipresent DJ in no time at all, a true credit to her natural talent. Her oblique style and curation transcend the parties she spins at, seductively opening the ears and enrapturing all types of diverse audiences. Her BC mix does not buck this trend, it ebbs and flows through fragmented, bleepy house and old-school tech, giving something for everyone and sewn together with a beautiful neatness. 

It’s a right fizzer from Izza. Play it loud and shake ya limbs.

Radio Plato - DA Podcast 043 w/ NEZ

Up next in our mixtape series is a vinyl only mix from co-founders of the new label @maazn-records, @terraflow and @gus-otc.

We've known these two for a while and though we don’t cross paths as often as we’d like, they're those kind of friends you stumble upon on familiar dancefloors, and always wish you saw more of! 

After having the pleasure of hearing them mix together many times, it seems only too right to see them joining forces for this exciting new label. So, fasten your seatbelts for an hour of absolute thumpers.

Endless pocket scrolling.

Swivel Mixtape 006 - Maazn (Gus OTC & Terraflow)

The first episode of the 2025 Diggers Society Records Listening Series is recorded by one of the most influential duos in the international underground scene. Lucretio and Marieu, with their energy, have earned a place among the best with their authentic, deep, eclectic sound, crafted down to the finest detail

DSR Listening - 06 The Analogue Cops

We are very excited to welcome @alliusmusic to our mixtape series for episode 7. This is a friend we first crossed paths with up his way in Manchester, and whether it's been at Houghton, fold, or other dance floors we always share our passion and love for music and it feels good to finally bring something together.

Head curator of @digmybox, a Manchester-based community that champions local talent through events supporting worthy causes and showcasing emerging artists, we're very excited to present the sound through not only this mix but at our collaboration party on Friday in London.
 
Only de finese.
