Episode 29 of DRIFT sees a return to Edinburgh with a dive into some of J Wax’s favourite chilled and non-club tracks. As a member of Palidrone (a collective which also includes previous DRIFT guests Dansa and Provost), he has been involved in some face melting nights, bringing legendary artists such as DJ Stingray and Errorsmith to the capital to play to sold out crowds. Despite clubs being closed, you can still keep up to date with the Palidrone crew’s output thanks to their slot on local station EH-FM where they play everything from house and garage to breakneck jungle and hardcore. J Wax has also been busy on the production front, with his recent vinyl release ‘Blink’ selling out on Scottish label Kouncil Kuts. Featuring 5 serious electro tracks which are sure to be club staples in the summer, the EP also includes a collaboration with up and coming artist SAAH as well as the J Wax and DeeJay Bloom classic, FourFifty, pressed on wax for the first time!

This mix gives an insight into J Wax’s home listening favourites - a farsight from the pace and energy of his usual breaky electro sets; this mix contains a relaxed and eclectic blend of tracks perfectly suited to a summer’s afternoon. Featuring everything from Memphis Horrorcore and deep, enthralling breaks to head-nod-inducing house and techno, it provides a 40 min break from reality which is sure to brighten your day.

---The DRIFT mix series---

Monthly series aiming to provide a chance for DJs to craft a mix which twists and turns through genres not usually heard in a typical club setting. It has the goal of providing a break from fast-paced and hard-hitting tracks and allowing creativity and experimentation in both track selection and mixing.

Our Local Selection stops off in Dublin today, as we feature a mix from young Dublin based DJ and producer, Mathew Day aka Taking Names.

Back in Feburary, we featured a premiere from an artist who at the time, was somewhat unknown to us, Taking Names. From his early days of playing piano and discovering the likes of Kraftwerk, The Sisters of Mercy and Depeche Mode through his father’s record collection, his passion for electronic music began.

Over a few emails back and forth, Matthew spoke passionately about how his taste in music evolved to encompass electronic sounds from across the spectrum of electro, house, techno and bass music. Inspired by the wealth of talent in Ireland and abroad, his influences include Desert Sound Colony, Pepe, 96 Back and Long Island Sound to name a few. 

After we premiered his track 'Deep Blue', we knew we wanted to hear a mix of his tastes and style, so approached him to record a mix for our series. A few weeks later, this mix landed in our inbox and as you can see, the tracklist is special.

Tracklist:
Matt Lund - IO (Unreleased)
Taking Names - Inside Out (Unreleased)
DJ Haus - Machine Learning (Interplanetary Criminal Remix)
SPF - Now We’re Cookin’
Zed Bias - Neighbourhood (El-B Remix)
El-B - El’s Groove
Koreless - MTI
Mount Kimbie - Blind Night Errand
Stones Taro - Jazz (Pépe’s Sekkazusetsu Re-Glide)
Adam Pits - Gazza
OCB - Brussels Electronic
Private Caller - You
Tessela - Hackney Parrot (Disaffected Bootleg)
Pugilist - Blue Planet
Tom Place - Concrete Dub
Iota & Menage - Kissed By the Spiral
Wiley - From The Outside (Special Request Remix)

"For this mix I wanted to showcase some of the tracks that I found myself going back to time and time again over the last year with some unreleased bits from myself and friends thrown in for good measure.

I tried to cover as many different genres and moods as I could with genres ranging from electro, garage, breakbeat, post dubstep and more. Tracks from artists such as; El-B, Mount Kimbie, OCB, Koreless and Pugilist to name a few".

So this is it, for the next hour Taking Names is your Wednesday afternoon soundtrack.
