Smart Mix 53

Smart Mix 53: Merrick Brown

Selector supremo, A-Future drops off a flawless voyage of leftfield heat ahead of his Junction 2 Inner-City showcase this weekend.

A lifelong crate digger, producer and promoter, Adam Shelton cut his teeth on the underground rave scene during the 00s and now heads the highly praised EON record label in Birmingham. Encouraged by Craig Richards to delve into his touted electro bag at Houghton, Adam delivered a fabled set that marked the start of a new chapter. Orbiting warping breaks, otherworldly synths and explosive electro, he debuted his A-Future alias in 2019 with a Drexyian Detroit inspired remix of Sepehr’s Thinking of you’, before following up with a timeless solo release, ‘No Era’. Set to make his Junction 2 debut this Sunday, we are excited to welcome A-Future to Tobacco Dock for a headline set at The Vault which is not to be missed.

“This is a mix inspired by the energy I feel ahead of getting back out to the clubs, loud music, bass, things that I took for granted for many years, I now find myself deeply grateful to be around. A few new records, a few old, some techno, breakbeat and electro, a mixed bag blended together with love from my home.” A-Future

LPZ – In Flames
Technical Onslaught – The Calling
Precise Daily Rhythm – Armadillo
Forest Drive West – Reshape
Welfare – Anicca

The Subculture duo show us what a Saturday at the Sub Club is all about on this week's RA podcast.


RA.220 Harri + Domenic

A stormy voyage through electro, breakbeat and dub techno. 

Interview with @andyhart:
melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/andy-hart/ ‎

"A lot of the records I’ve bought here in Berlin this year, a few of them coming from The Ghost which is in my opinion the best new store in the city. There’s a new one from Urulu, a track from Annie Hall’s CPU record from last year, some Jeff Mills, DJ Pete as Substance and a few new bits and pieces."

Since launching in 2016, Junction 2 has grown into a globally recognised event with an underground cult following. Deeply rooted in club culture and ultra-consistent across operations, production, music policy and vibe, the festival puts the audience journey at the heart of the experience. 

Made up of a variety of bespoke and creative spaces, the London festival has steadily scaled from one day to two, from 10,000 to 25,000 like-minded guests, elevating the scope of UK electronic music festivals to rival those of our European counterparts. No short sets or plastic tents, Junction 2 merges natural beauty, green fields, rambling rivers, woodland pathways and hidden enclaves with impeccable sound, high end production and a meticulous attention to detail. The ethos behind the scenes is as progressive as the booking policy, with a focus on improving sustainability, gender parity, welfare provisions and with active anti-discrimination policies in place. 

Despite the postponement of the 2020 edition, recent months has seen Junction 2 bring the spirit of Boston Manor Park into the digital space as the UK’s first large scale underground virtual festival. Uniting party goers from around the world at a time when we couldn’t freely experience dancefloors, the event was broadcast in over 150 countries. A second edition of the virtual festival came in January 2021 with Junction 2: Connections. Featuring 20 artists and filmed across 3 iconic musical cities (Detroit, Berlin and London), the global electronic music community was brought together again inside Junction 2’s custom built space, J2v. A truly unique, one-off experience, the digital festival was watched by over 3.1million viewers.

Junction 2’s vision is focused on elevating original and pioneering artists whilst providing a safe, inclusive and welcoming space for future generations to blossom.
