PLASTIC FANTASTIC is very pleased to be relaunching the series with an exclusive guest-mix from Sanky Was Here.

For the uninitiated, would you please tell us a little bit about yourself?

‘Hola, my name is Sanky, I can't seem to shake a childhood nickname at 52..! Anyway, I grew up in Newcastle amongst some nerdy soul and jazz types which was kind of my first and probably last love. I live in Mexico currently’.

Can you provide some insights to your mix, its inspiration, location of recording, or perhaps a few words about some of the records you’ve included?

‘As I don’t have an address here, I spend a while building up (my record collection) either back in the UK or in NYC, and a few times a year I’ll rip them all. So the mixes take a while, but I like that it’s another ‘edit’ to what I really like longterm. I think this mix is genre-free and focused on mood. I do think of it as a mix of two halves, really focused around what’s in the bag for the summer, and with a few places I’m playing in mind. Just trying to send out some love and emotional connection. There's a couple of new discoveries and weird rarities, alongside some all-time winners that I just feel are good for a summer kick-off. Mama Milk (the 2nd track on the mix) just reminds me of some hazy Ibiza afternoons, and who would’ve thought there’s ANOTHER William Pitt record worth a late night dance too!’

Are there any upcoming projects you have in the pipeline which you would like to share?

‘Well, good question. Covid got me fiddling with Ableton and learning (failing!) to play some keyboards. I made a few sketches which I have told myself I should finish this year. It’s about as close to naive pop as you can get. I played some to a couple of people and they were more enthusiastic than myself about them for sure!
Other than that, playing a couple of festivals, the mighty Love International in Tisno/Croatia in July, and the We Out Here Festival in August.’

A big thanks to Sanky Was Here for providing this awesome mix for The Sunrise Mixtapes, and for taking time out to speak to us

Sanky Was Here (Love International)

It was early June. Berlin summer was still full of promise. We had cherries 🍒 and we had fun. Raphaël Top-Secret soundtracked the night perfectly and the room was beaming with good nrg. Listen back ;)

Free Association #40 - Evie Takeover - September 2025

Trushmix 244 presents Orbita. A DJ crew and party organisers in Berlin with a strong love for balearic music, and the early hours of a night. Here Llupe and  DJ Aficionado the 2/3 of Orbita gives you a two hour and twelve minutes disco mix. A soundtrack created with the mindset of the early start of a party in the club. These crucial early hours when things slowly are building up, while people start to come and get into to groove. And suddenly it's full, it's a vibe and it's magic on the dance floor!

Enjoy music from the top!

For the 100th installment (!) in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

Welcome Berlin-based digger, DJ & producer Tom Bolas. He runs Average Records @averagerecordsbln with a killer YouTube channel too, showcasing good or weird (and often rare) music with top-shelf digs

The mix in his words:
"The idea was to play some of the tunes that I enjoyed most through the summer months and to capture that feeling again as we are moving into autumn. I meant to finish the mix a few weeks ago in time for the last summer days, so let’s hope we get an Indian summer in Europe. I’ve had a string of edits come out recently on the amazing new @SmuttyEdits label as well as Duca Bianco and a 10 year-old Reggae-Disco edit is coming out on a local Berlin label in the not too distant future as well. I’ll be in Istanbul in late October / early November to play at @Arkaoda and a couple other places with Venus Exotica - looking forward to it."

Danke @tombolas.. Abschied vom Sommer 🌞🕶️🌴

Just For The Night #100 - Tom Bolas (Last Day Of Summer)

Welcome back y'all! Welcome back to the Idle Cellars Mix Series. This time around we have yet another special treat for you. We reached out to one of our good pals up in the Great White North to supply us with a special downtempo mix! The manlike JEX OPOLIS is in the house, putting together this killer 90-minute joint, full of late 80's & early 90's downbeat house, ambient trance & post-acid house groovers. You may know the man from his Nu Disco Good Timin' and evil twin Bad Timin' labels, where he amps up the Italo & 90s Progressive vibes with massive kicks for the dancefloor, or his well-known mixes for The Lot Radio NYC. We're so stoked to present this to you, and grateful that our man hooked us up with this jammer! We hope you enjoy - more to come soon!

“I was on the road on tour in Europe when I recorded the mix, and I had a momentary respite doing some cat sitting for friends and thinking about how dependent we are on friends and networks. It feels like sitting underneath a big shaded tree on a sunny day :) tired from travel but energized by music and life!”
