Thanks to @Bank-of-Switches for inviting me to record a mix for their podcast series.  Seeing as they host them all over on Mixcloud I thought why not add it to Soundcloud too!

"Kind of like we used to play on the radio or at Wonky (our monthly London night) - Not really mixed, but always using ambience and spoken words. Letting the songs play out in full." - Swayzak

Bleep Mix #266 - Swayzak

Great memories!  Thanks to Jag Kiranmay and Rob Smile for the invitation.

Dan Formless DJ set Live from Circle Prague

DJ Balduin from Leipzig is a seasoned selector with more than two decades of experience in tracking down musical treasures. As an avid believer that some songs shine only under the right circumstances he doesn’t shy away from weaving repetitive loops with patterns of ambience just to let some hands-up moments unfold every now and then. Since he doesn’t like to think in categories, his best guess to describe his vivid 4/4 sets would be “Hypnocelestial salsa-dub house”.

Our new SPND20 Mixtape comes from none other than the mighty @official-mr-g. 📼

If you know, you know: Mr. G is one of dance music’s true originals. From the early days in the legendary KCC crew and his influential work as half of The Advent, to decades of solo output under his own name, Colin McBean has never strayed from his roots. With releases on Rekids, Moods ‘n’ Grooves, Defected, and his own long-running Phoenix G imprint, his raw, bass-heavy electronic-tech-funk sound has moved floors and minds all over the world.

Now, for one of his rare mixtape appearances, we’re honored to share this special vinyl-only piece from his archive.

Recorded on two Technics 1210's and a Rane MP2015 mixer and mixed down to CD with added weight, the mix had been sleeping for years until Mr. G pressed play and surprised even himself. It’s meditative, deep, and packed with the personality you only get when the machines are running hot. It captures the raw energy, honesty, and unmistakable feel that only Mr. G can deliver: just pure groove, and even a cheeky cable cut halfway through that adds to the charm.

It’s not often he shares this side, so we’re grateful he let us dig it out. For us, it’s a perfect snapshot of where he comes from and what he still brings to the table today. A true original.

So you better put on those headphones and dive deep into this one!🔊

GH Podcast 005 is brought by Herodot. 

Herodot is no stranger to Club Guesthouse, his involvement with the club came about many years ago, he is now even closer than ever before as he is among those announced as the new residents of the club so, to celebrate the occasion we asked him for a podcast. 

Best known for keeping the party going for endless hours until nobody can dance anymore, Herodot has proven his creativity not only behind the decks, but also as a producer. He owns Unanim Records. And, talking about endless hours, he provided us with an extract from his closing set at the Toi.Toi. party at Guesthouse this April, a night which he ended up closing on a b2b with Topper. We let the music speak for itself. 

Happy Listening!

Techno veteran and sorcerer, @yuka , needs little introduction. In this sixty minute mix - the third instalment of our ‘Who’s You’ series - Yuka captures our imagination with her infectiously danceable baselines and timeless sensibility.

In this third edition of our ‘Who’s You’ podcast, Yuka discusses her approach:

“As a DJ I listen a lot of new and old music. Usually I sort my collection by stories in folders. some folders I use for dance floors and others for podcasts. This mix is one of those folders. Rhis is my favourite one and of course i choose it to introduce myself. This music has a depth, interesting rhythms and psychedelic sounds - that’s what I love in techno music! There are shamanic drums, velvet basslines and magic. This inspires me, makes me loose the ego and become the music. This is the mystic story from beginning till end.”

What an amazing night flying the room 1 spaceship back in April 2018!  Here is the promo mix I made for the guys ahead of my debut at Fabric.

A few weeks back I played livestreamed DJ set from Frazer Campbell's studio for the Breathe guys.

"Breathe" set from The Beard Cave

Dan Formless launches Saboteurs Sanctuary as an auditory expression of his Forward Movement studio in London, UK.

An avid collector of music gear with a penchant for vintage units, Dan has scoured the globe collecting rare studio machinery in a quest to create unique sounds. His travels have added further layers to an already rich canvas, painted by DJ exploits across major cities in Europe and Asia, alongside residencies in London nightclubs.

Focusing on solo music production, Dan has dedicated the last few years to his creative process liberation whilst experimenting with drum machines, synthesizers and effects. He is now sharing the results of these sonic explorations, delving into the deeper sides of house, techno and electro whilst staying true to his dubby minimal roots.

The inaugural ‘Actions Speak Louder’ EP hits the ground running with two original tracks from Dan Formless and a stellar remix from Alex Celler. ‘Nitty Gritty’ is a peak time brain melter with sizzling synth lines and intricate drum patterns occupying the A-side. ‘4Q’ weaves together syncopated rhythms and deep rolling bass lines on the flip side. These are punctuated by playful call-and-response synth motifs to create an enigmatic after-hours slow burner. Alex Celler offers a glitchy ‘4Q’ remix with his undeniable flair for fusing infectious grooves with futuristic aural landscapes in a late night exploration of modular electronics.
