What’s left to be said about Cassettes For Kids, aka Melbourne’s Zak Degenhardt?

Releasing two EPs in 2020 (‘Dreams’ and ‘Rest’), C4K’s knack for defying expectations has seen his reputation as a craftsman in the studio firmly on the ascent. Paired with a Boiler Room x Lost Sundays performance for the ages, Zak’s dynamic track selection has seen him secure sets at the world-renowned Pitch Music and Arts Festival, Wool Store Warehouse and our very own Lost Paradise.

It’s our pleasure to invite him to step up for the second edition of the Lost Sundays Sessions, now streaming via the link in our bio. A bit about the mix in his own words:

“There are a few Aussie tracks featured, with ‘Undulate’ by Pugilist (27:00) the closest to my heart. I used to work with Alex and loved swapping tunes + playing each other’s demos. Pugilist comes from a dub background with releases on Melbourne’s ‘Modern Hypnosis’ label as well as Martyn’s ‘3024.’ There’s a level of detail and precision that great dub producers create, and Pugilist is by far one of the most talented producers we have.

There was no way I couldn’t include ‘Yes, Ok?’ by Beep Tzt (30:03), aka Georgia Bird (In2stellar) and Joe Buchan. Georgia is one of my mates and I’m truly blown away by this release. There's a pool of atmospheric, emotive breakbeat coming out of Melbourne that I’m super excited to see flourish.

There is something so over the top and ridiculous about X Coast’s ‘Track 4’ (42:00) that it really only makes sense to be aired in a club. The bassline on the off-beat is a little psy/trance, but it’s complemented by grooving percussion that never ceases to take a break. Pure peak time energy.

Finally, the track that gets me most excited is B From E’s ‘Kyo’ (20:50). I first heard this in a video from Roskilde Festival a few years ago, and it gives me that uplifting, introspective house feeling. It’s such a classic 90’s-influenced track, but the groove and production set it apart. It’s an exciting foray into what I love about house music, and B From E in general.” — Cassettes For Kids
