Next up on the @idlecellars mix series we have the legendary Phil Mison. One of my favourite DJ’s (and humans) his history alone is enough to warrant anyone’s respect but his music truly speaks for itself. I’m delighted to offer this exquisite journey from someone I consider to be an unsung hero of sorts. Certainly a hero of mine. He was there from day one. Some history here for those that don’t know his roots, in his own words…

“Cafe Del Mar opened in 1980, but never had a resident dj until José Padilla started  in 1991. I'd heard him play there that year and bought some tapes from him. I didn't go back in 92 but made a couple of tapes that a friend went out and gave him, similar stuff to what he was playing. Later that year i met him in Tag records in soho. He remembered the tapes and i invited him along to the Milk Bar where i was resident at the time. 

In early march 1993, José had an offer to go and DJ in asia and asked me if i wanted to cover for him at the Café Del Mar while he was away. Of course i said yes and a couple of weeks later he turned up at the Milk Bar with plane tickets and the keys to his house. I flew out at the end of March and played every day until the first week of May. I returned to London as i still had my residency at the Milk Bar and other gigs at the Ministry & Gardening Club. I went back for my birthday in September, played a couple more times and just hung out listening to music. 

José returned to London later that year for the winter. He asked if i wanted to be resident with him for the whole summer of 1994. I flew out late may and stayed until late september. I met quite a few people out there that year including Paul Daley, which led me onto becoming Leftfields tour DJ in 1996. Also Kennneth Bager, Harvey and a few others that are still good friends today.” Enjoy friends 🐬

Mix of the Week #517: DJ Lloyd

Next up with magic mix number seventy nine is Danny Bodega @beaton-4

An aussie now based out of London he's runs Gazebo Records which has just reissued and pressed the great Fuemana – New Urban Polynesian album to vinyl for the first time. Go check it if you haven't already.
Elsewhere he's popped up with mixes on Skylab Radio, Under The Apricot Tree and Sanctuary and now he lands here with 'a dog's breakfast' - his own words  ;)

Far from that it's a crisp concoction of cruisers perfect for a sunny evening. Enjoy :)

Good news! After a few months off, Pacific Spirit is back with another hot session courtesy of NYC's finest, @enterthelloyd. Here are a few words about the mix from the man himself...

“I recently found this mix of weird R&B dubs while pillaging old laptops for music and I haven’t turned it off since. If you've ever dug through old drives for anything you know how mundane and unrewarding it can be. It's like a road trip that never ends. However, when you come across a file labeled  "Actavis and Activator" you pull the car over and see what's going on. I couldn’t tell you when or why I made it but I’m glad I did. Feel good vibes for feel bad times. Hope you like it.”

Thanks for listening, everybody!

Loveshadow Live @ B.P.T. June 2025

[Verse]
A match made in Heaven
But the flames burn like Hell
They say that you're no good for me
But
Baby
I can tell
Your words drip like honey
Your mouth's sweet like wine
And I've been waiting all my life
To make you mine

[Chorus]
But you don't even see me
My mind and heart are racing
I need to be set free
But it's you that I desire
I've been playing with fire

[Verse 2]
A handprint on my throat
A spark that's ignited
My breath catches in my chest
It's like I'm delighted
They say
"Be careful
That flame might burn out"
But I know deep in my heart
Without a doubt

[Chorus]
You don't even see me
My mind and heart are racing
I need to be set free
But it's you that I desire
I've been playing with fire
I've been playing with fire

[Bridge]
In the light of the day
I pretend it's all fine
But I can't look away
I've been waiting all my life

[Chorus]
But you don't even see me
My mind and heart are racing
I need to be set free
But it's you that I desire
I've been playing with fire
I've been playing with fire
I've been playing with fire
