mixes

Solid Steel in association with Serato (15 th May) In Hour 1 we welcome Charles Drakeford who runs the From The Depths record label, has a regular slot on NTS Radio and is part of the Principals collective. He told us;
"With this mix I wanted to showcase the sound of FTD as the first few releases have began to carve out some ideas of where it's heading musically. There's some tasters from the next two releases in there, and some forthcoming stuff from likeminded labels All Caps and Levels (out to Bake and Jon Rust respectively). 
The culmination of all this results in a mix that's certainly more designated for listening than dance floors. Stringing together disparate musics from all my influences, or at least the mixable ones. 
I'd like to extend a huge thanks to Solid Steel for allowing me to contribute in their 27th year! "

"Initially I thought this would be a great idea. I’d got myself in a nice little situation where the next 5-6 records were lined up, and things were looking pretty peachy. Then it came to trying to figure out how I could piece it all together and a sense of impending doom took hold. They’re all very different records that really come into their own once served up in a wider context. I feel that very much sums up what FTD is about to be honest, and it also explains why this mix is a little all over the shop. 

In the coming weeks the idea struck me that maybe I shouldn’t be so self-centred for once, and I could reach out to some pals for guidance.  

It’s fair to say my ass was saved, and shouts to Spencer, Huerco, Beatrice, Fergus, Yumé, Mr Muller, the Dekmantel conglomerate, In Rust We Trust & Del Bokeh Vista for their very kind contributions."

FTD's Drakeford + Fictions' Gigsta + random extra guy Minor Science will be on the 1s & 2s all night.

10 til late, don't hesitate!

Drakeford:
"London-based, Charles Drakeford has been DJing in the capital’s most celebrated parties for the better part of a decade.

An NTS Radio resident DJ since it’s inception, whose fortnightly From The Depths show lives up to it’s name. Drawing influence from absolutely anywhere and channeling it through his typically UK, impactful and curveball-laden mixing style.

His inquisitive ear has lead to his record label FTD, which sets out to buck trends by bringing together diverse sounds from Lutto Lento, Georgia, Gramrcy and beyond. 

All this while holding down a programmer roll at Boiler Room since the very early days, and running the iconic Principals night with friends and colleagues Bradley Zero and Nic Tasker."
