LUXE is a DJ and producer who's firmly on the rise. Real name Lucy Hopson, she cut her teeth in Manchester as part of the B.L.O.O.M crew, later making the move to London where her skills both behind the decks and in the studio have quickly piqued the interests of promoters and DJs alike. 

There's a correlation between both ventures; her DJ sets are full of hefty bass, crisp breaks and driving trance sounds, while her productions so far have followed much of the same influences. With a few self-releases and compilation tracks under her belt, she recently made her solo debut for HAAi's Radical New Theory imprint, and Belonging is just as you'd imagine: hypnotic, chugging trance and breakbeat dripping with tittering percussion and warm sub bass.

There's plenty more to come for Lucy this year and beyond but first, she takes us through the gears on today's mix, launching at 100bpm and transporting us all the way up to 160...

SLUMP004 lands from another South London based producer and DJ. @otusdj is a multitalented musician and producer who writes and arranges dazzling dance floor records that are entirely made using synths. Recording and re-sampling clips and beeps to craft his drums - that marry effortlessly with his lush harmonic writing.

While known for his fondness of electro and all things Detroit, Osprey truly finds his passion in anything that can consistently keep the funk. From the wonkier sounds of UK bass, to rhythmic analog breaks, what is most important for him is maximising dancefloor energy with music that stands out in a club environment. Importantly, to ensure progressiveness of his sound, DJ Osprey aims to look beyond the current trends to find a sound that is equally as immersive as it is interesting. Having co-founded the Naarm based Synesthetic imprint, he has been able to involve himself with some of Melbourne’s best selectors and has supported the likes of DJ Gigola, Kessler and Simo Cell.

Skins continues forging his own path with a new label celebrating the uplifting and futuristic sounds of jungle, with a four-tracker featuring tracks with early support from Katiusha, Tañ and Frazer Ray.

Whilst some will know Skins from his days DJing regularly around Oxford, his run of self-released white label techno EPs or last year’s underground hit 24 Hour Dub, more recently he has turned his attention back to the music which made him fall in love with it all in the first place:

“I vividly remember the effect that the futuristic sounds of 90s jungle and drum ‘n’ bass had on me as a kid, hearing snippets of tracks in video games and later stumbling across artists like Alaska, Future Engineers, Seba, Peshay and LTJ Bukem. After years engrossing myself in the cavernous spaces of dub techno, this record feels like a return to my roots, bringing my style into a new arena which still feels like home. The label will serve as an outlet for this and future collaborations with like-minded producers.” - Skins
