PLEASE what is this? This went off in NYC Downlow this summer

For the first time in our 25-year history, we are releasing a live solo recording by Craig Richards from the club. 

“This mix was recorded on the second of December at a Continuum party. I commenced just after five and finished at nine. The heady combination of nostalgia coupled with the past, the future and more importantly my daughter dancing next to me, resulted in a mix that I felt happy with. Historically, I have been very self-critical and have chosen not to release many mixes. Across nearly four hours this one seems to encapsulate the twenty five years of playing at fabric. In 1998 I was invited by Keith Reilly to play weekly at what was an imaginary nightclub. I had no idea that experience would continue for so many years. Playing vinyl on that sound system and mixer is highly exciting and a joy in itself. I am delighted that this has been my method of sonic communication and remain deeply grateful for my ongoing residency.” - Craig Richards


Craig will be joining us at the club on 30th March to celebrate his 25-year residency with a 25-hour Continuum party.

We're super excited to have 'Gottwood' regulars and 'M.A.D Records' head honchos, Make A Dance, taking control of the next mix in our series.

With this being their second time featuring in our mix series, you know you're in for a treat. With their multiple sets lined up for this year's festival and their "Woof Doof EP" dropping on Gottwax later this month, it only made sense to have Make A Dance curate this mix.

Known for their dynamic, party-style sets filled with eclectic selections, Make A Dance delivers once again. Buckle up and let this mix be the perfect soundtrack to your journey to Gottwood 2024.

Catch Make A Dance at the 'Trigon' on Thursday and the 'Lighthouse' on Saturday.

See you in the woods.

Gottwood Mix #66 - Make A Dance

The longtime Perlon affiliate goes for big basslines and big grooves. 

It's 1996, and a young Fumiya Tanaka is shelling out hefty yet minimal percussive techno at Club Rockets in Osaka to an audience enraptured. Released as Mix-Up, the 90-minute recording captures Tanaka sounding rather like Jeff Mills or Surgeon. It's far cry from the sound he's known for today.

Fumiya Tanaka's creative arc has seen him move away from these thunderous sounds to warmer shades of house and minimal. Since 2016, he's found a home on the inimitable German minimal label, crafting out a distinctive sound within the labels roster with an affection for tumbling basslines and spooky atmospheres. 

From 1996 to 2023, Tanaka ran a party series in Tokyo, Osaka and Berlin called "Chaos," which encapsulates the ethos of freedom Tanaka brings to a party. "When you hear music you've never heard before and encounter unknown territory, you will be so happy and totally absorbed," he told us back in 2019. "I want to keep that feeling."

RA.964 achieves exactly that. Nearly three decades removed from his burst onto the scene, and after a good few years of asking, Tanaka's RA Podcast captures him in full house mode. Recorded at a Slapfunk party in Manchester, the Perlon maestro keeps the vibe funked-up, chunky and warm, punctuated by the occasional big breakdown and the odd lick of garage rudeness. No tracklist for now—but as Tanaka knows well, half the fun lies in the mystery.

MAKE U GROOVE IT

“Papasito” blends Latin fire with underground tech house energy. I built this track around spicy percussion, rolling bass, and vocal stabs that flirt with the dancefloor. It's playful, a little cocky, and made to make people move — sweaty basement clubs, rooftop sunsets, wherever there's heat. This one’s for the dancers who want rhythm with personality and a groove that won’t quit.
