It's been a while since a new Essex Rascals show so here's a one off special that went out on NTS Live over Xmas, 3 hours of 80's Soul, Boogie, Proto House and more.  Featuring classics alongside rarities and a few newer edits of faves, while taking huge influence from the likes of Froggy, Les Adams and the Latin Rascals (of course!).

BEN SIMS pres THE ESSEX RASCALS SPECIAL on NTS LIVE. DEC 2016

The last couple of years have seen D.K. emerge at the centre of a new age, ambient laced and misty sonic sphere. Taking cues from boogie and synth pop, house and funk, the Frenchman’s subtly soothing sounds have come mostly on Antinote and sound at once nostalgic but also forward looking. Musical and lush, dreamy and balearic, it is music for warm climates and laid back moments in your life. 

And so is the mix he has put together for us: over the course of ninety minutes it takes you from the hammock to the beach bar and on to the club. Starting with the sort of smooth and serene sounds you would expect, things get crunchier and more hard hitting as you move along through prickly house, wild analogue jams and trippy four thumpers.

Rinse FM Podcast - Serge w/ Legowelt (Clone 25) - 17th April 2017

@johannesalbert is probably just under-the-radar enough to count as un unsung hero, but the Berlin-based DJ and Wilde Renate resident has been delighting dancefloors worldwide for almost a decade now. His most recent release, 'The Dancing Plague' EP, came out on Needwant in June and played host to four deliciously wonky summertime Italo cuts.

Johannes was at Love International earlier this month when he played the Renate boat party alongside Lauer and Peak & Swift. Bringing a dash of that Adriatic flavour to your Friday, we're very happy to present his set from that afternoon, which showcases both his range and ability to get the dancefloor grooving.
