Majestically dropping in with magic mix number fifty eight is Merchant @merchantrecordslondon

The tag team of Harry and Al based outta London were firmly bitten by the digging / vinyl bug during their uni years and continue to collect with the goal of 'If it's good, it's good" regardless of genre. 

You get a sense of that here with this mix as they move through a number of genres with ease! Enjoy! :)

Weaving in with magic mix number sixty is Floor Length Skirts - @fgleeds @floorlengthskirts

You can normally find Oskar and his FLS show on @altoradio on the second Sunday of the month. Alternatively, you can hear what he's been finding whilst digging out and about in good old school spots with plenty of dust via his YT channel.  After chatting he even decided to visit our local record shop (s/o's to 586 records) here in Newcastle.

Be prepared for a journey as after an overexcited session in his flat he end up recording a six and a half hour mix! Enjoy as one or in smaller parts :)

This mix focuses more on lovers, soul and street soul while keeping that machinedrum edge. Enjoy :)

Keen to listen to the nice stack of @Localdish_to 7"s what had just landed I tried to connect the dots using only the vinyl pile closest to the turntable which created quite a random selection with genre twists but a fun ride nonetheless imo. As always, all vinyl in one take.

Headphone Magic - March 2025

Next up with magic mix number eighty six is @larsfromearth

Host of 'Das Lebendige Radio' (formerly on rtm.fm) he popped into our inbox with the following message and mix -

'About six months ago I picked up a green record at a small art and vintage gallery in Pimlico. On the back of the sleeve I read that it was the culmination of a two day workshop focused on the exploration of hip-hop. The twist: The workshop happened at ETAT, a community group for the elderly.

The gallery was full with locals celebrating the opening of its latest art exhibition. As I went up to pay, someone shouted: 'Thats my record!'. A bubbly lady, probably in her 70s walked up to me and took the record out of my hand to proclaim to everyone in the small room: 'This is my record! I'm a rapper!'

This mix is inspired by a chance encounter with a chance piece of art. The record is a loose collage of even looser interpretations of hip-hop. It was the perfect start, middle and end point to explore my own - very loose - interpretation of the genre.' 

Question is, can you spot the record mentioned above? timestamp your guess to win a prize! Enjoy :)

Magic mix lucky number thirteen comes from the Mighty Estimulo!

We're huge fan's of the Estimuloshow that has been filling the underground radio waves for many years in one form or another. His shows are always filled with quality unknown (to us) dance fodder causing us to go digging. Also, be sure to check out his monthly Cashmere Radio broadcast on his page for more deep diamonds.

Once again Esti doesn't disappoint with this mix as he brings his deep trademark of bleeps, breaks and old school with devastating effect, make your ears happy and check it out! Enjoy :)
