Well, here we are again...

As the weather gets better, and the temperature rises we all need the correct musical selections to accent the mood. Who better to do this than our friends the mighty mighty DOMply crew out of Rio De Janeiro? A multi-faceted gang of French and Brazilian diggers and party organisers who push a unique style and sound. 

Craig Ouar has been our friend for a couple of years now, and was the best host you could ever ask for on GGHQ's recent Brazil tour, welcoming us into his home and showing us the incredible sights and sounds of Rio and Sao Paolo. Craig and Simon (Who also happens to be one of the guys behind the dope Parisian Bayetë collective) are 2 members of what is a bigger picture (big big love to Giu, Pino, Mauricio, Cleo, Andre, Juliana and everyone else too!) and their 2+ hour mix showcases a true flavour of what DOMply and their incredible parties are all about - an original collection of deep Brazilian and global sounds that are definitely the result of their surroundings and broad influences. 

This is a very special mix for us, and is soaked in colour, style and good feeling. Perfect as we roll into the brighter days!

GGHQ Mix #54 : Craig Ouar + Simon Bomeisl (DOMply, Rio De Janeiro)"Empty Beach Whispers"

Back with another one - And it's a very special one indeed. This mix comes from someone who has definitely dug deeper than most over the decades. Flawlessly selected, programmed, mixed and presented in the most dubbest of dub wise manners. 

Chris Galloway aka Woodenhorse Provocateur aka the man like Roots Unit has been into this record game for a minute. He's bent our minds with the freshest OG re-edits and productions as one quarter of the Soft Rocks massive, brought us some wonderful modern house, Balearic and downtempo music via his peerless Kinfolk & Vibrations labels and has undoubtedly relieved quite a few of you of some quids in his role as a respected record dealer over the years. 

All of the above activities, as well as a youth spent partying in the midst of the original acid house wave and beyond here in the UK means Chris has a truly open musical mind and some set of ears on him, and through this mix we get to enjoy the fruits of his impeccable taste and collection. 

This one's in a heavy dub mode - if you hadn't guessed already - and by that we mean all shades of dub, from the spatial to the sublime to the unreleased and exotic. It's all here. We've been jamming this one hard here at GGHQ last couple of months - it's nice to finally be able to share it with you all.

GGHQ Mix #55 : Roots Unit "Dub Wise" Mix

So - We're back with mix #57, which is very special indeed. 
It took us a little while, but we finally managed to get a sublime mix from our friends Elaine and Jack, also known as Time Is Away.

Digging into the outer realms of everything from dream-pop, dub, reggae to dub techno and beyond, Time Is Away are 2 of London's finest and most original record playing duos. They've been friends of GGHQ for many years and have been the brains and ears behind a couple of borderline cult mixtapes, as well as their long running and much loved NTS radio show.

This fine selection for GGHQ sees all sorts of mysterious b-sides, obscure 12 mixes, deep LP cuts and rarities woven together with the care and the instinctual approach to playing records that comes with years and years spent combing dusty racks in backwater suburban towns and infamous record stores alike. Like us, Time Is Away are equal opportunities listeners and no stone is left unturned when it comes to finding the gems.

GGHQ Mix #57 : Time Is Away "Late Summer Dance Mix"

The perfect soundtrack to the crisp, clear and bright onset of winter mornings is here. #59 in the GGHQ mix series - How'd that happen? 

This time we welcome another person who we hold dear. Laetitia has long been a close friend of the GG family before it even existed. She's been a constant in our galaxy for many years and is well known and respected for her numerous activities and adventures in music in London, across the world and these days in her native Dublin town. 

Her work with the groundbreaking Annex booking agency and the newly formed Independent Agency Collective (IAC) sees her working alongside cutting edge electronic artists as diverse as Beatrice Dillon, RP Boo, Lee Gamble, Equiknoxx, Veronica Vasicka and more, while her involvement with the Irish www_Irl collective offers marginalised and unheard voices a platform for expression via radio, sound, art and a plethora of other disciplines and medias throughout Ireland and the rest of the world via monthly showcases on Dublin Digital Radio.

We're very lucky to have her, and we're equally as lucky to have this sublime selection she very kindly made for us. A blissed out, foggy wander through dub textures, ambience, broken pop and smudged techno fringes. If you remember buying records from Laetitia at London's Phonica Records, then you know that she knows. If this is all new to you, well, you're in for a treat. 

You can find out more about Laetitia and her projects here:

GGHQ Mix #59 : Laetitia 'This Is Only Now' Mix

Mix #61 - The first instalment of 2022! Welcome... 

We're happy to have the man like Toby Tobias on board for this one, a true London digger, DJ, producer and man about the city. 

Toby's been in the game for a minute or 2 and he's been grafting away for years releasing music on top shelf labels like Rekids, ESP Institute and Futureboogie to name just a couple. His original productions and re-edits have found their way into discerning selectors bags across the world and TT is a dope DJ himself too, as this mix shows. He's also a collector of rave and dance culture ephemera and his recent zine (a collab with Klasse Wrecks - link below)showcases some of his deep archive. 

Clocking in at 2.5 hours, Toby's mix runs the gamut from glacial ambient to stepping dubwise electronics, to pristine house, techno deep digs and way beyond. It's a proper mix, made by someone who puts in work to find great records and it's the ideal way to kick off this years GGHQ mix.

Check Toby out here, and show some love!

GGHQ Mix #61 : Toby Tobias - 'Going OK'

Hello friends, GGHQ Mix #62 is here.... 

We're happy to have DJ Alex Voices back for an extended 2 part live mix, recorded at a secret private party / Berlin location on new years eve, 2021. The whole recording is just over 8 hours long, so we'll post it up in 2 parts with the next instalment coming in a month or 2. 

Needless to say, Alex shouldn't really need an intro, but for the uninitiated he's one of London's finest DJs and selectors (now based in Berlin), a former Lucky Cloud / Loft sound-system crew member, and 1/3 of Voices Collective who alongside Cedric Woo and John Ramar held a long residency at Plastic People (RIP). He also has his own very dope 'Voices In My Head' radio show on Cashmere Radio (link below). 

Alex is a proper music lover and this mix has it all, bonafide classics, deep house, disco, techy, dubby gear, reggae, soul steppers, island excursions and literally all points in between. Flawlessly selected, mixed and very generously shared with everyone here. Keep an eye out for Part 2 coming later in the year. In the meantime, strap on your ear-goggles and dive in.....

Check Alex out here, and please show some love!

68 - Time to set it straight... 

Super stoked to share this mix with you all. A proper treat, especially if you like tripped out chugging electronic spatial beats and rhythmic oddball wrong speeder things all happening at the same time! We certainly do, and we were absolutely chuffed when Harri came on board and beamed us up with this belter of a mix. 

Harri is one of the busiest DJs out there right now, a London resident who embodies the digging ethos, has no fear, loves to play on the fringes and take chances with his records. Having heard him play a few times now, we can safely say he's one of the few selectors out there who is properly carrying the cosmic torch. It's in safe hands folks, fear not. 

Plug into this behemoth mixtape and splash around, we think you'll agree with all of the above. 

Take it / us away Harri :)

After a brief hiatus, Going Good makes a triumphant return with an exclusive limited CD / Digital release, presenting the London duo The Soft and their mesmerising 8-track album, 'Lifelike.' This musical journey is the result of two close friends, Zander Fletcher and Henry Morris, who set out to create electronic music with a touch of human soul and depth. The album, meticulously recorded between 2015–2020 in Forest Hill, South East London, showcases a fusion of Downtempo, IDM, Ambient, Techno, and House sounds, all masterfully crafted with genuine originality and emotional depth.

Fletcher and Morris, lifelong musical collaborators, discovered their unique style and approach to music-making from a young age. Their talent eventually caught the attention of Luke Abbott, with whom they collaborated on an EP in 2012. The inception of 'Lifelike' took shape in the attics and living rooms of various locations where the pair resided, giving each track a distinct and personal touch. Sadly, in December 2018, Zander Fletcher passed away, leaving behind the unfinished project. In 2022, Henry Morris took up the mantle, completing 'Lifelike' with the utmost dedication and reverence for his close friend, cherishing the essence of the musical connection they shared.

This release holds significant sentimental value, embodying rich history and boundless energy. Going Good takes immense pride in presenting this soulful and contemplative collection of tracks. This limited-edition disc is adorned with captivating artwork by William Glass, while the masterful audio engineering by Dean at Compound Audio ensures an exceptional sonic experience. 

All music written, produced and performed by Zander Fletcher and Henry Morris. Mixed by Henry Morris and Lawrence Hart. Exclusive distribution by GGHQ.

GOOD19 - The Soft 'Lifelike' Snippets

This mix - believe it or not - has been coming for about 7 or so years! 

We're very happy to finally have it up here for you all to enjoy. Nathan aka Devon's sonic wizard, explorer & nifty t-shirt printer extraordinaire extrastereo has supplied us with the sort of frazzled 'spiked in a commune' pastoral excursion we secretly hoped he would. It's ace. 'It even has Gong on it' he tells us. Excellent.... 

Fully in keeping with what we enjoy here at GGHQ, and expertly selected, blended and fed through the audio bandsaw. Number 69 bristles with all kindsa energy, there must be something in the water down there in Devon and we're definitely here for it! 

Please go check out extrastereo and his myriad projects / offerings, and show some love:

GGHQ Mix #69 : extrastereo - 'Untitled Mix'

GGHQ mix number 70. It's been a minute, life etc gets in the way sometimes. 
Anyway, we think this extra special session from our close friend "G" (aka Silsila Dubs) will more than make up for the radio silence. This one is a serious episode! 

A deep and educated delve into the mystical sounds of the dub / roots vein from someone heavily embedded in the West London reggae firmament. Serious runnings recorded using 1 turntable an FX unit and the obligatory dub siren. Done in true sound system style by someone who truly knows. 

Silsila Dubs have been quietly and confidently releasing records that are more than worthy of your attention if you are in any way reggae leaning. You can check both of their most excellent releases over here on Bandcamp, please stop by, give thanks and show your love by purchasing some music from them:

Back with another instalment of the good stuff. Mix number 71. GGHQ family friend and alumni DC EFX drops a stellar mix of pure quality electronics from across different eras. Perfectly selected, sequenced and mixed, this one's perfect for drifting to or dancing to. The choice is yours! 

An original South London UKG / Jungle head and someone who delves deep into Techno, Electro, House, Minimal and everything in between, DC knows good music. A healthy open ear cultivated attending under 18s raves and listening to and playing on local pirate stations as a teen in the 1990s has sharpened his sonic palette.

As a long time DJ and one of the brains behind the fine Frequencies Unknown label (and untold other projects) we're always happy to have him offer us a mix and we will always share them with you! Please give him a follow below and check out some of his other mixes, and go check out his label Bandcamp and cop that wax / digital and support proper underground music.

GGHQ Mix #71 : DC EFX - 'Dream State Mix'

Mix 72, now available for your enjoyment, just in time for the weekend! 

A rather special affair from one of the many friendly faces we met down in Norwich earlier this year. What a place. Honestly, a real eye-opener with loads of passionate music folk lurking. Ben aka Sseagulls is a proper head and all-round local legend there and someone who definitely knows how to play the records, as you'll hear from this mix. Make sure you check out his immensely fine label too by clicking the links below. Read on for some words and shouts from the man himself: 

Sseagulls, from deepest Norfolk, floating in to provide a mix for the GGHQ! Head Keg filler and party supplier for the Cosmic Pint Glass, Sseagulls, has been organising the musical output for the record label for the past 12 years. This mix was originally assembled to put some of the Cosmic Pint Glass influences on paper. Containing Library Gems, Jazz Fusion, Deep and Balearic House, Minimal and Prog Rock, these tracks are from all ends of the human creation. But there is a common thread in them all, a shared brightness. All exuding some sort of granular sparkles, covered in cosmic sprinkles if you will.

Influences to highlight in this mix; Luke Sanger and Jeran Portis for their input from the start, Toby Tobias for his continuous stimulus, Lauer for his italo-infused house, Datassette for opening the doors to the library gems, Damon Havlin for the beautiful Pleasure Unit releases, Wax Stag, Dirty Soundsystem, Jon Jones, Christ Too Smooth, Tony G, Simple Symmetry and many others.

Find an excuse to hit Norwich and go to a Cosmic Pint Glass event, it’s a blast! “You’ll have a lully ol’ time!”

Mix for GGHQ

GGHQ Mix #72 : Sseagulls - 'Cosmic Sprinkles'

One for the submersible crew, GGHQ Mix no.73 breezing and bubbling through. 

Our Berlin buddy and Celtic soul brother Jank Inc. supplying us with 70+ minutes of lefthand electrics of all shades and persuasions. One of the founders of Berlin club night and record label 'Pace Yourself', Jack has been out there transmitting for a wee while now. We've played at his heady club night at Paloma in the past, where a disgusted German woman stormed out of the club midway through the majestic Red Zone remix of Will Downing's 'The world is a ghetto' stating that it was 'the most offensive thing' she'd ever heard, followed by a near sunday morning war with the denizens of Görlitzer Park. All in all - we knew were kindred with the Pace Yourself mob that weekend. Only right then, that Jack should come aboard the good ship GG for a mix. 

Jack's mix is deep, subtle, atmospheric and introspective. The perfect music to drift to, all lovingly put together on a recent visit to his mother's house in Scotland. If you've tuned in to any of his Refuge Worldwide shows, or attended any of his underground events, then you know already. We're happy to present this one, get lost in it. You'll like it.

GGHQ Mix #73 : Jank Inc. - 'The Doghouse'

For the 74th mix we want to pay tribute to a friend of GGHQ whom we sadly lost a year ago this week, Paul 'DJ Regal' Eve. 

We shared the second part of his 'The Bronx Is Burning' mix series back in 2019, but the file for this first part has been sitting in the GGHQ Mediafire account (remember those?) for the last 15 years. We felt it only right to celebrate Paul, and share his amazing selections for everyone to hear and enjoy. This was originally recorded and shared via Brian Not Brian and Jeremy Spellacey's 'Ghetto Disco' blog from way back, and the link (and blog) have been long inactive. 

This mix has got some absolute jams on it, lovingly selected, spliced, edited and worked into a frenzy by Regal in his home studio back in 2010. This is music for B-Boys, hustlers, poppers, lockers, groovers, smokers, shakers and movers. Inspired by the mythical block parties and mastermix radio shows of NYC infamy that have captured all of our imaginations and shaped our musical landscapes to this day.

This mix is shared here today - with love and respect - as a small tribute to the man, who is sorely missed. Part 2 of this mix can be heard here:

Mix number 75 has been in the archive for a minute. We were gonna post it, then we didn't. Then we forgot it was there, then we remembered. We listened to it again and thought 'shit, this is good' - So here you go. That's the story basically. 

You already know our guy Piers - Soft Rocks, Mysticisms, Apophenia, Roots Unit, Sounds Of Slackness - and lots of other top secret and dangerous projects we can't mention here. Longtime digger, record troubler, mixmaster, dubber at large, top dessert fancier and all round good guy inna London town. Go check him here: https://soundcloud.com/piers_harrison

This is a mix of little records - 7 inches. Small 45 rpm discs, the 'wee ones'. We're not talking about rabid hip hop completist shit, or pointless house classics on 7" or anything like that, this mix is more leftfield, worldy, scratchy dub leaning electronic and afro funk obscurities that you or me do not own, do not know the titles of and will likely never find in a record shop. A healthy dose of different styles on here, wicked sounds. All forms of rocking. Take it away P.....

GGHQ Mix #75 : Piers Harrison - 'The 7 Inch Punch Mix'

Another stellar mix hit our inbox. We didn't realise when we asked a few friends to kindly do mixes for us that it would get this real.

It's safe to  say Jack blessed us on this one. Pure blissed out.
The crucial soundtrack to very late nights, or very early mornings. The choice is yours.

London's DJ Alex Voices has been around the block a few times it's safe to say. As a member of the Lucky Cloud / Loft soundsystem and the infamous Voices Collective (alongside the equally deep Cedric Woo & John Ramar) Al has danced on and supplied every important dancefloor in the capital with music for decades. 

Now based in Berlin DJ Alex is as comfortable dropping a 100% Reggae mix (like this one) as he is playing the deepest Balearic, Disco, Techno, House & beyond. We feel he is a super underrated selector and somewhat of an unheralded London legend and we're honoured to host this very personal mix of his - GGHQ Mix #26 "Summer Heights Vol.1"

ps - His mixtape collection is RIDICULOUS :)

#35 - A stellar mix from our friend Simon aka Esclé. A notable German DJ and selector with way too many projects under his belt! Simon works as a curator at Liepzig's 'Pracht' venue as well as being a deep appreciator of esoteric musics, in the coming months he will unveil some production and label projects that will touch on his deep love of tribal, cosmic and spiritual cultures. Honestly, this selection is perfect for these wondrous summer days and nights, beautifully arranged and programmed especially for us here at GGHQ. More here > soundcloud.com/escle

GGHQ Mix #35 : Esclé - 'A Window To The Sun'

Cosmic Handshakes sees the pairing of 2 extremely talented Detroit natives - Blair French & Todd Modes - who take elements of Disco, Techno, Jazz, House, Afrobeat, Latin music, Dub and Electronics and filter them through their own unique view of dance music. Steeped in soul, live instrumentation, sampling and analogous alchemical studio processes, French & Modes give us an exhilarating and fresh take on the deepest smoked out, after hours sounds of the city of Detroit. 

'In The Mist' is the duo's second release, following on from 2013's 'The Delicate Details', released on the M1 Sessions imprint. The last 2-3 years has seen the pair individually release music on a plethora of varied and esteemed global labels such as FIT Sounds, Claremont 56, Rocksteady Discos and more. We at GGHQ are very excited to finally share with the world what we feel is hands down one of our favourite releases yet. 

A compelling body of work from front to back, the tracks on 'In The Mist' work perfectly as a self contained home listener, or as we've found, just as well on a darkened dancefloor, leaving the choice up to you, the listener.

GOOD-12 Preview : Cosmic Handshakes (aka Blair French & Todd Modes) 'In The Mist' *Forthcoming*

It's been a minute, but we're happy to give you the second GGHQ mix of 2018. Yeah, we know it's been tough since the last one, such is life. 

A beautifully immersing, soothing and rhythmically deep listen this time around courtesy of our friend Scott Gailey, who (alongside partner Yu Su) makes some killer music as - You're Me. We first met Scott in Glasgow where You're Me performed a stellar ambient live set and then on a freezing December night in Vancouver last year where we were lucky enough to catch him and Yu Su perform a second live set at Deep Blue. Both sets were completely different, but both were incredible. 

Scott was kind enough to weave together this lovely mix for us and it's taken a little while to get it up here. Please enjoy and do yourself a favour - Check out You're Me, they have a vinyl reissue of their 2016 debut 'Plant Cell Division' coming via the Knowing Something label, you'll thank us:

GGHQ Mix #39 : Scott Johnson Gailey (You're Me / Vancouver)- 'When You Have To Get Up'

GGHQ mix #49 courtesy of our man Telephones. 

A truly gifted and prodigious DJ, producer and creator of the tastiest 'Stick-meat' one would care to savour. He's one of our favourite transplanted Norwegians. We've counted Henning as one of our friends for quite a few years now, so we're very very happy to have this flawless almost 2 hour mix from him. Honoured, in fact. He very nearly almost released a record with us too! Maybe in the future we'll make it happen. 

A producer and DJ whose sonic palette always taps into the inner sunshine we all have through his deft approach to melody and good feeling in his music, this mix takes in all of the above, but in a gentle and nuanced way. If you need music to drift to, or something to soundtrack after the after-party - Telephones has got you covered. 

At the request of Mr Phones he would like to say: "Thanks to all special people, friends and record-stores who have in one way or another gifted, hooked up, traded or sold me the records specifically in this mix.. big up to DJ Central, DJ Airbear, Dynamo Dreesen, Andres Loõ, The Fett bros, Michael @ Efficient Space, Nemo @ Sound Metaphors (Berlin), Tom & Mike @ Skydiver (Melbourne), Moopie @ Alley Tunes (Melbourne), Clique Records (Seoul), Galactic Supermarket (Berlin), Kim Chi Records (Berlin) and Public Possession (Munich).

The niftiest fiftieth - The latest instalment of this here mix series. 

50 is a milestone! You know we had to bring some heat. We had to make sure it was a big one. That's why we asked Richard to make us this super duty tough mixtape, and he kindly obliged! 

Richard has been a longtime associate of ours here at the GGHQ, a DJ, remixer, producer, B-boy and writer who we've appreciated for at least a couple of decades or more. He's someone who is legitimately from the old-school who's always trodden his own path, whether it's visually, sonically or as a DJ. He has laid down some of our favourite musical moments, edits and mixes over the years. We're honoured to have this jammy from him, and to be honest he 'went in', as they say... digging deeper into his b-boy roots to give us (in his words)a heavyweight selection:

"Inspired by 1970s New York City, drawing in influences from youth gang and biker culture, the origins of Hip Hop and graffiti culture and the rock music played by Francis Grasso, David Mancuso and Afrika Bambaataa. A raucous, high-speed ride through the funkier side of psyche, prog, Latin and heavy rock and breaks. Biker groove. Expect the unexpected and enjoy the ride..."

This is a real one, you can almost smell the subways and hear the chains rattling. Strap yourself in, and hold tight!

Where has 2020 gone? 

We are almost out the other side of this insane year, and we at GGHQ hope that you are all safe and sound. The music never stops, and we hope that our friends have all found some solace and enjoyment through the simple acts of listening, discovering & sharing. 

We're super happy to see out 2020 with this, our last mix of the year. We couldn't be in better hands to be honest. Øyvind is a top selector, producer, remixer and he is one of those DJ's who is beyond versatile. He just knows music inside and out and is a formidable talent in the booth... genre and sounds are no barriers to him and his own style is unmatched. A longtime former resident at Oslo's clubbing institution JAEGER, Øyvind held down Wednesday nights there for a decade plus welcoming a host of global DJ luminaries and tastemakers into his zone. 

Here we find Øyvind in a relaxed mood, combing his impressive collection for more spaced out and downtempo grooves, offering a deep selection to soothe and get lost in. We're really pleased to present this lovely mix to you from our friend and someone who we feel is a true talent out there in the vast world of music we all inhabit. Spark one up, and shadow dance with us....
