Our podcast series passes the 300-milestone courtesy of Slow Life's Laurine & Cecilio, two artists very close to our heart in need of little introduction. Mixes from the pair are a rarity and this 73-minute journey unfurls with a patience and understated sophistication which characterises their approach to music, parties and life.

Laurine & Cecilio join us this summer in Tisno, we're all the more excited after this classy mix.

DIM300 - Laurine & Cecilio

For out latest Burek podcast we have a skillfully layered journey into various shades of house from Birmingham based DJ and producer Mark E.
Mark E’s love affair with electronic dance music started when Manchester was Madchester and rave culture swept through England. Later he tasted house at the hands of legends like John Kelly and Frankie Knuckles at Wolverhampton scene, before moving to Birmingham for University where he is still today creating and feeding the club scene.
Mark  is one of those guys who releases at least a few amazing records each year. Now, nearly a decade of releasing music, Mark  has a discography that contains efforts for top-notch labels like Spectral Sound, Running Back, and Golf Channel and his very own imprint Merc.

Mark E has kindly provided us with second part of a triple mix series, mixed as a straight vinyl set at home, accompanied with a few bottles of fine beer and some stuffed animals. Mix also containing first airing of Mark forth-comer on Spectral Sound. BOOM! Enjoy!

Burek Podcast #17 - MARK E

Moxie Live from NYC Downlow - Glastonbury 2023

Ask Berlin's network of revered deep diggers who their favourite "DJ's DJ" is, and there's a strong chance you'll hear one name immediately pop up: KRN.

Phil Kearney, AKA KRN, is one of those rare types who has built a reputation away from the limelight. Formerly a resident at The Ghost's Hoppetosse party as well as a Get Perlonized devotee (plus, full disclosure, reviewing events and working at RA in the mid-2010s), he's well-versed in both wiggle and waft. The hubbub around KRN can be put down to the fastidiousness of his approach: he unearths rare gems from the roots of the underground, before mixing it up with a deft hand.

Kearney's RA Podcast, sweetly subtitled "Dadhouse," is an ode to his partner and newborn, as well as a window into his personal palette. He starts in serene IDM territory, before shifting into playful grooves and tactile house oddities. Good lucking ID'ing many of the tunes—we asked for a tracklist but, deep down, already knew the answer. We know this, too: one listen and you'll be hooked.

Happy New Year, you dirty little rascals. We are honoured to open 2025 with a special sequel in the Reptilian Mixes Saga: the very first recording of @atawel's live act.

Since the release of his Colors EP on 129 rec, our boi Raph has been fine-tuning his long-awaited live debut. The reptile farmer performed across multiple venues in Europe, with recent highlights ranging from the upper deck of our favourite Berlin boat, to deep in the ravy woods of the Cévennes. 

Take the middle row seat, grab your pop corn (sweet and salty), and don't skip the trailers. 

No director's cut but you can now listen to 192R-002 endlessly on your favourite streaming platform, and grab it digitally here: https://192rec.bandcamp.com/album/192r-002

Atawël - Reptilian (Live) Mix 13

Butter Side Up with Hamish b2b KRN - 30 March 2025

On the eve of Kingsnight and just before our party, Global North chief DJ Pipe swung by the Operator container for an hour of topnotch chillers. We couldn't withhold this one any longer, right on time for the sunny season. Ice-cold cocktail, palm trees in sight and this mix on full blast all summer long. Dive in!

Submid Radio - DJ Pipe

This mix is inspired by our latest digs, as well as selections that we've kept over the years that feel timeless to us. We've crafted it in a way that shows how we move through our own sets, with a driving groove that captures a shift from day through to night. You'll find a mix of house, breaks and techno, from artists we love both old and new. We loved putting this together as it's a showcase of what you can expect to see from us over our gigs this summer - we hope you enjoy it too!

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 12: Mother Earth

Part four of RA.999: the sound of shared history, courtesy of two legends of minimal house in full flow.

A lot can happen in 20 years. Especially in dance music, where movements rise, collide and dissolve at dizzying speed. It takes conviction, dynamism and a formidable record collection to stay the course.

That’s why Margaret Dygas and Sonja Moonear have remained such enduring underground favourites. Step into one of their sets, solo or side by side, and an assured calm takes over the floor. You're in the sleekest, safest hands imaginable.

Recorded live at fabric's 25th birthday, their RA.999 captures that feeling perfectly. High-tempo, irresistibly groovy and full of quiet authority, it marks a return to the series for both: Moonear with RA.520, and Dygas with the fourth-ever RA Podcast all the way back in 2006.

They also gave rare interviews, reflecting on a deep musical connection that began in 2007, the legacy of minimal and lessons from a life spent in DJ booths the world over. 

"I felt excited and lucky to be invited so early in what I now see as a much longer journey," wrote Dygas. "Music holds memories in its frequencies, and the right track can transport you instantly to a past version of yourself. That’s powerful. That’s the kind of power I respect." Amen.

RA.999 Sonja Moonear & Margaret Dygas

To celebrate 10 Years since its first release MERCMUSIC is re-releasing Mark E's first edit " Scared ", and the B side has PLASTIC PEOPLE, which until now hasn't been available on vinyl.

Released 15th February 2015.

E - Versions 6 -  Scared

Mark E last delivered on Futureboogie back in November 2014, so it’s a welcome return to the label for the Birmingham based DJ & producer.  With his Merc imprint running on full steam, and previous releases on revered labels like Spectral Sound and Running Back, Mark is becoming an ever dependent exponent of the real and raw house music vibe, and no more so than on the Basement Trax EP.

Basement Trax 1, distorted synths wander over a low-slung beat, the marching hi-hats and filter work are tweaked to perfection.  It’s a track of basic elements, but done so well, the arrangement building steadily and bags of warmth and soul deep at the heart of this track. 

The gnarly bass and classic string sounds of Basement Trax 2 make an ideal companion piece to the A side.  Delivered in the finest wild-pitch tradition, the raw sounding production packs a punch as the stomping drums and repetitive keys ramp up the heat for a real blazer of an underground club cut.

Two quality cuts served up for you here…

The shopfront looked gloomy and mysterious in the streetlight. Dust sat layered in the windows and no light could be seen from within. The crew of revellers stood eagerly outside the door, a small queue had already begun to form behind them as they waited. Finally at midnight, the bolts were unlatched and it swung open. One at a time they were ushered inside and in the distance they could hear the sound of drums echoing. Below them there was a party underway, deep down in the basement, and they were going there. 
Mark E is forever on point. His latest EP for Futureboogie is on point and 'Basement Trax' is on point.
