Next up with magic mix number eighty two is Schoolbell @wdjc

Based out of Zurich, he's someone we've followed for a long time and his DrumMachines mixes are something we particularly look forward to appearing in the feed.

When asking Mikael about digs, genres, music and so on. He went on to say that he only sees '2 kinds of music - good or bad' that's irrespective of genres as there's too much good bag stuff to be discovered everywhere which in turn allows him play stuff from all over.

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

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 :)
