This week, we’re happy to share XDB's stunning set from Dimensions ’23. Recorded live from Freerotation’s takeover of the Cosmos last summer, which set the stage perfectly for Steevio's live set afterwards.

Deep, refined and classy selections throughout, something we've come to expect and love about Kosta’s sets.

Night Club Music with Bruno Schmidt

Settled back in the UK after a long stint in Berlin, London chill-out devotee Lucy Cook treats us to one of her notoriously nostalgic blends, with meditative vocal swept soundscapes and smoky jazz lounge space dub fused with trip-hop cuts resurrected from obscure CDs from the 90s and 00s. Deeep mood exploration at its finest!

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when planning this mix, and what type of listening environment could you imagine it being enjoyed in? 

A. I put the mix together after a bright and productive start to the year. It’s somewhat reflective of my mood I guess, maybe not through the vibe of the tracks, but in the space around them. I’ve explored some deeper sounds in this one.. so maybe one for some introspective listening. 

I recently visited Japan too and was super inspired by how intentional everything is, with a focus on simplicity and quality. Stripping things back and consistency are new-ish themes in my personal life too, which feels really good.

Q.  Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. I really can’t choose, but there’s a couple of edits and things I made which feel special. I had fun layering some interesting vocal samples and weird sounds I’ve been collecting over the years, and created some bits with these which are peppered throughout. 

Quite a few of the tracks are CD rips from the 90’s and 2000’s, which is a method of digging I love. For me without it, so much amazing music wouldn’t be shared. There’s also one or two from friends’ labels Truffle101 and Sonido Chido which are really cool ones. It’s important to me to support those around me and get good music heard :)  

Q. I know you recently made the move back to London after some years living in Berlin, how's the transition been and what are a couple of your favourite UK parties or festivals that you're looking forward to reconnecting with this summer?

A. It took a little while to “arrive” here actually. I’m a pretty calm person and the energy is very different, but I’m feeling happy and at home here now. 

Electronic music wise, I went to Houghton for the first time last year and was blown away by the quality of the music, so I’m looking forward to being there again. Otherwise, I’m enjoying seeing more live musicians. There’s always a lot of great psychedelia, jazz, soul, and hip hop to see here, especially outdoors in the summer. Oh and number 1, Glastonbury!

sunday downtime 004 - nina yamada

Take it slow while the temps are rising 🌞🌡️

We could have met @aimzzzzzz in Berlin where she’s been living for 10 years-ish. We could have met her in the north of England where she was born and breaded as well. But no, we met her online, and although our parents warned us against it, we developed a virtual crush on her 💻💘. 

Here, she offers a trippy hour of slow beats. Perfect for a psychedelic meditation 🧘🏻🫧 

We had no doubts, but we’re happy to show the scepticals that the internet is not only a sea of catfish. We can’t wait for you to meet her on our soundcloud ☁️
