Midland is a quiet and reserved character but one that always makes a big impact. Despite only being active for a few years, he is already someone who resides in the upper echelons of the global house and techno scene. This is evidenced by the fact that as a DJ he plays only the most revered places, and when he does so he manages to reach far and wide, calling upon many different electronic sounds without ever falling prey to modern trends. It is the same when producing on labels like Aus and his own Graded, where his records are functional but fun affairs with corrugated drums, rugged bass and physical grooves that never fail to arrest a dance floor’s attention. This mix he has served up for us is another fine example of that. 

Starting off in an abstract world of atmospheric sound and smeared chords, it’s not long before Midland establishes a groove that then grows in stature for the next hour. Atop the always physical drums are all manner of cosmic melodies, soul fuelled pads and spryly percussive patterns. Touching on house that ranges from dark and mysterious to more sun kissed and playful, this journey feels much long than it is because of how much Midland manages to so masterfully pack in.

With end of year lists slowly starting to trickle out, there's one track in particular we find that's absent from some of the bigger sites, despite having what could be considered a decent summer. Championed by both Joy Orbison and Scuba in each of their respected Essential mixes, snippets of new untitled Endian teased the notion that a follow up to his Electric Minds and NonPlus releases would be forthcoming in the near future. Having debuted on the Radio 1 airwaves in July 2014, it wasn't till early May 2015 that the track got a name and a confirmed release date on London based label Secretsundaze. Titled 'Finish Me' the track, would go on to become one of our favourite summer anthems (as mentioned here) and acquire a near-omnipresent status in clubs and at festivals up and down the country over the summer period, while still remaining in some way an underground sleeper-hit. We'd like to think the nod to his roots, and other revered alias, struck a chord or possibly two with all the jungle enthusiasts out there, as well as appealing to the house and techno crowd. While the A side explored more club-friendly territory with its melodic aspects and billowing breakdown, the B side's "Dusty" and "Sub Tropics" provided a much more rooted warehouse affair; taking his technical skill and experience as Commix and and channeling it into the confines of 130BPM. His use of subtle melodies and pads, reminiscent of 90s jungle/drum and bass LPs have made for well received tracks like "Birdhouse" and "Two Chords Deep", the latter being one of his early attempts at using a proper hardware setup to explore his techno and house productions, and arguably still one of his best tracks.

Last May, we invited Leon Vynehall to play a rare 'open to close' set at Honey Soundsystem. There are not many selectors that we can trust to not only DEBUT themselves at a HSS party but also take on a room entirely to themselves. His set exceed our expectations and the recording ACTUALLY came out.

Honey fans know we don't release many live-recordings, but when we do they often have a life of their own (see Jennifer Cardini at Burning Man, Silent Servant at Holy Cow, Black Madonna at Deviants, Doc Sleep at the 9 Year Anniversary) 

You can check out the past live-sets here: https://soundcloud.com/honeysoundsystem/sets/recorded-live-at-honey

This set has been on repeat since that May 26th night and after some serious cajoling, Vynehall agreed to release the first couple of hours. Vynehall does not really release live mixes so we know how special this is and thank him for letting us go with it.

The set went on for another 3.5 hours but included some material Vynehall can't have out in the world yet. So... here is an exceptionally good 3.5 hours at one of our traditional Sunday night, holiday weekend, Honey Soundsystem parties in San Francisco.

100Hz has been around since 1989 back when they where selling white labels from the back of their car, formed by the original members Lee Renacre, James Chapman and Doran Walker.

The first records, Low Frequency Overload and Catching Spyders was released on Optimism Records and sold really well for the time getting them into the national music charts with a house track!

The musical style is definitely the funkier side of House and Techno with twinges of sinister vocals and odd beat patterns. They have had many record releases with some top classic labels of the 90's including Pacific Records, Rumore Records, Eukahouse, Re hab and Oblong Records with many tracks included in Cd compilations and mixes around the world.

According to Mixmag 1997 Lee Renacre was included among other UK producers in the FIRST ever article about Tech House, they were regarded as the pioneers of the new musical style that was to create an entirely new genre of dance music.
 
Also records were released through Lee's own label called Format records.
100Hz has a long track record of live performances from dirty house party's and weird underground clubs to the epic out door rave Raindance, the End club in London and Exit festival in Serbia. They've had constantly good magazine reviews and have always been on the cutting edge of new musical styles even working with Patrick Pulsinger for a Belgium based label Hi Phen.
Their music can often be heard at Barcelona's Sonar festival being played by the likes of Richie Hawtin and Jeff Mills.

They are currently working on abstract new material and remixing some of their deeper older tracks with new music programs as they have been totally old style midi and Cubase for years! 

More recently 100Hz has again been in the spot light with a resurgence of tracks coming out with some of the best Italian labels, Bosconi Records, Imprints Records,  Slow Life and Veniceberg, also  future releases planned with Howl Records, as well as current releases on Lumbago, Mriya Records and Mulen Germany. 

A new wave of music starts Feb 2017 with the launch of Lee Renacre's new record label called Modugroove and the first release EP01 called Modulation, an insight into the wonderful world of modulating synthesis.

Now in 2019 Lee will start on his new musical venture called PUSHER with Subwax Distribution in Barcelona, this is to be his Drug Music series, a stripped down Techno affair with no frills and a departure from his typical Hz 90's style. The aim is to Push the boundaries of this musical genre with different beat patterns and complex polyrythums.

Making a name for himself with sublime techno and deep techno releases, Clotur standout DJ sets and the tireless work of his label Warok.

He developed his sound and absorbed ranging influences until his first EP came out in 2016, ‘Atmospheric Optics’ together with Ossē. A singular vision combines club-oriented, hypnotic techno rhythms with pristine percussive elements, hazy ambience and delicate shifts. 
His 2019 ‘’Dimensions doors’’ EP is a prime example, as are his previous releases on Fabrik Musik, Northallsen, Lett record, and his homebase, Warok Music.

Launched in 2016 as the first Tunisian Techno/Ambient/Experimental label, Warok Music has become a consistent source of transportive techno and a platform for its founders (Clotur, Eyth) to express their respective sounds. Committed to pushing boundaries and connecting scenes with each release, Warok signs artist from many scenes and musical approaches. In all their work, Clotur threads a heady narrative and distinctive sonic palette. His gifted ear for recognising and curating promising artists is best demonstrated by the breadth and invariably high standard of their 22-track, 2 Year Anniversary compilation.
As a DJ, Clotur embodies a similar philosophy to his label, often performing in his current home of Paris as well as proudly pushing the fast-growing scene in Tunisia with solo DJ sets and Warok showcases. All the projects Clotur lends his hand to are in some way meditative, conjuring organic feelings for the body and mind. It’s as true of the moments in time he creates on dancefloors as it is of the eternal statement he makes in the studio and with Warok.
