Twenty-five years after starting this mixtape series, SlowJams Vol 22 is here!  This tradition started back in 1998 while I was living above Walgreens in the Lower Haight, San Francisco with some of the people who made me the man I am today …..The series featured music from the deeper, “late night” end of my record collection that almost never made its’s way onto the regular DJ mixtapes we were all making in the late nineties.  Over the years I have been told that these recordings have soundtracked many of my friends lives. Their romances, their after-hours’ and their Sunday sessions. This latest instalment has some heavyweight tracks on it….hope you enjoy!

Deep, groovy + 90s house @ Sensitive Boys Club 26/10/24

A lotta lotta fun at No Persona's 2nd birthday bash at south London's finest most sweatiest basement, Four Quarters. I feel like this set was the most "me" of any set I've played so far. Starting off with some pumping house, I went a bit deeper, darker and bassier with a sprinkle of nostalgia and latin flavours. This is a re-record with an extra couple tunes at the end - a few people on the dancefloor said they didn't want the 45-minute set to end, so here ya go! 

Tracks by L.P. Rhythm, Power in the Groove, GIDEON, Parallel Sound, Amaliah, BELLA and more.

This month's Get2kno is an ode to legendary record shop DnR Vinyl - the only garage specialist store still standing, which also happens to be in the small neighbourhood of Croydon where I grew up. Pretty much every DJ in the game has stepped through its doors since it opened back in the early 2000s to have a dig through the thousands of second hand oldskool gems and exclusive new releases collected by owners Dan n Rob since they were teenagers. 

I went down to the shop to chat to Dan about the origins of his music obsession and the importance of keeping small shops like his alive. We go back to his days as a 14 year old getting his mum to buy the latest vinyls from the prestigious Big Apple record store in Croydon 🍎, to his uni days where he spent every penny of his student loan on vinyl 💰, to the present day where small labels such as Elijah's 'Butterz' are a crucial support 🫂.

DnR is underground incarnate - fully DIY, no frills, no viral videos, just decades of unadulterated love and dedication to the music. The garage scene has never gone away despite its revival in recent years and the shop has helped preserve it from where it all began.

Dan doesn’t do interviews often so it was a real privilege to get to hear and share his stories. Anyone who’s listened to the show will able to tell that he’s an incredibly humble guy despite being deeply respected by everyone in the scene and one of the biggest oracles of music knowledge in the business. UKG legends Jeremy Sylvester, Lady Passion , Perception + Vibesey shared their personal stories: Dan goes above and beyond, helping start labels and pressing new releases as well as putting his all into the shop and website.

The interview clips are interwoven with a mix of entirely UKG - mostly oldskool - by me 🤓, including some tracks recommended by Dan himself 🔥. It’s kinda like podcast meets a mix 🤝.  Tracks by Tuff Jam, Damian C, Mike Millrain, Groove Chronicles, El-B, Eliza Rose, K-Lone and more.

Get2kno... DnR Vinyl w/ Emilia G on LWSTD.FM 23/11/24

Get2kno went live & direct for the very first time on Saturday and omg it was so fun 📡🎙️! We went straight in with club vibes for this one - head down in the club at 2am was the vision - with some proggy gorgeousness, house, breaks, jersey club vibes and a couple R n B edits to end with some nostalgia. Shoutout to the amazing chatroom crew and big thanks to my dear friend and top selector Josh CK for joining me on the show for a b2b! Show includes tracks by two of my favourite producers of the past year ones to watch Madelic & Will Silver 🚀🧨 and a confession that I may have broke dry January for some Dutch courage wine to calm the inaugural live nerves 🙃😅. 

Other tracks include brand spankin new ones by Kiara Scuro and The Trip, plus DJ Bogdan, DJ Swisha, Samuel L. Session and more.

our last b2b set from feb 8th played at @ormsideprojects for @terra.obscura is now available to listen on soundcloud. 

this set, played during peak hours, transitioned from @musicbymcgregor live ambient performance to @c_a_r_r_i_e_r_ live drum & bass set. we slowly built up the energy with a mix of dubby, percussive techno alongside more breaky tracks. 

thanks to everyone who came to support! special thanks to @terra.obscura for the invitation, it was an honor to play for you 🤍

Get2kno...Mexico special w/ Emilia G on LWSTD.FM 1/3/25

Kicking off April on VIBRATIO)))NS is lwstd.fm resident, co-founder of the party Pherotone in London and dear friend @emiliacloud 

I met Emilia in 2022 while we were making our way to one of my fav festivals, Kala in Albania. The first thing that struck me about Emilia was her pure love for music and the light she brought on the dance floor. We kept bumping into each other during the festival, and we stayed in touch since then chatting and checking in on each other. Over the past year and half she's taken her love of music from the dance floor and into the booth, and watching her journey is something that brings me immense joy. The same joy and enthusiasm she has on the dance floor is something she brings when she plays, and I'm so excited where this will be taking her. Asking her to do a VIBRATIONS mix was a no-brainer for me, and she soundtracked an absolute beaut.
Here is the mix in her own words:

"This was my first-ever 3-hour mix, and I fully embraced the opportunity to be playful—blending genres I adore and tracks that truly move me. It begins with ambient and orchestral sounds before evolving into a journey across the electronic spectrum, with some pop and indie surprises along the way. A recurring theme is the soundtrack of the 1996 Romeo + Juliet movie—one of my all-time favorite albums, which I recently fell in love with all over again. I remember watching the film for the first time and being blown away by its creativity and the way it wove music so beautifully into its storytelling. Music has always been deeply personal to me, and my biggest inspiration growing up was my dad—a talented musician who improvised the acoustic guitar heard at the beginning and end of this mix. To add some personal touches I weaved in a few vocal samples including a cheeky nod to my roots in southeast London and an iconic moment from another of my favourite 90s films. I also wanted to spotlight some incredible up-and-coming FLINTA artists from the UK and beyond."

VIBRATIO)))NS #24 - Guest Mix by Emilia G

Right now all I want to do is dance on a beach at a festival in the sunshine 🏝️ - so this mix encapsulates that feeling, looking out at sea as the sun starts to go down and its reflection is glistening on the ocean just before golden hour hits 🥰🌞✨. That warm fuzzy feeling knowing its gonna be nighttime soon when the party really starts 😏.

It features deep house cuts, New York dubs, 00s tech house and an ounce of sleaze for good measure 🫦.

Hope it transports you to your favourite beach festival :)

This mix by Berghain / Panorama Bar residents @Barker-Baumecker (aka @Voltek & @ndbaumecker) first aired on August 3 as part of @OstgutTon-official's takeover of @RinseFM and @Rinse-France. For this special simulcast on both stations in Paris and London, Ostgut Ton artists were asked to showcase a different musical side of theirs.

Barker & Baumecker: “This is basically a semi-live mix of new tracks, jams and ambient versions of previous releases.”
