London’s dancefloors have been feeling the pulse of a producer who thrives on eclecticism and groove. Blending disco, italo, house, and psychedelic flourishes, Josh Ludlow has carved a distinct space as both a solo artist and as one half of the duo Make A Dance, co-founders of M.A.D Records. His releases on respected labels like Toy Tonics or Nocturne show a playful yet polished approach, where hypnotic basslines meet cosmic textures and 80s-tinged flair.

The MindwayS EP introduced his versatility, while New Transition and Push It Up! cemented his reputation as a producer able to balance underground appeal with wide dancefloor energy.

With support from heavyweight DJs and a growing global audience, his trajectory suggests an artist unafraid to bend genres, celebrate nostalgia, and reimagine it for the present.

Boda de Muertos! 🇲🇽 brought to you by dv.experiences

What can I say — in all these 25 years of making people dance, this sunny morning in Mexico was truly a special one. Yes, an epic one. The venue, the production, the team — everything came together perfectly. And more important than anything else: all of you beautiful people! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this early morning trip with me.

I started at sunrise, when it was about 12 degrees cold, and finished around four hours later under the bright sun at 24 degrees. You made me play love songs only. Gracias, Thank you, Danke ❤️

Kudos to Deb for making it all happen, and to my fellow DJs Don Alex Albert, Xinobi & Henri Bergmann for setting the perfect vibe throughout the night.

This is logical, this is a progression... The original and still one of the best sets around, LTJ's about to touch down. After much confusion I finally found the original 1996 version of LTJ's seminal Logical Progression 2 CD release. This is the mixed set (CD-B). Intelligent DnB at its finest. Find more outstanding LTJ sets in my "LTJ..." playlist.
 
1. Airtight remix - Funky Technicians
2. New element - Form Form
3. Drum in a grip - De Wolf & Wax Doctor
4. Solution - Ils & Solo
5. In too deep - JMJ & Flytronix
6. So long - Seba & Lo-tec
7. Pharaoh - Photek
8. After Hours - DJ Trace
9.  Groove Therapy - Universal
10. Mind Games - DJ Crystal

I've been looking for this set for a long time but have never been able to find it online, only the 2001 re-released version where the mixed CD was replaced with the 'Ministry of Sound Half A Decade Of Dance' 96 live set and different tracks on the un-mixed CD. I brought a 2nd hand copy from Discogs.com. I will do a mix using the tracks on the unmixed CD (CD-A) when I get some time.

No infringement of copyright is intended, I'm assuming it's ok to make this available to download as it's not possible to buy this new anymore. If there is a problem with copyright let me know and I'll remove it. 

As always, all props to the artists, producers n engineers that made these tracks, nuff respect to all the Goodlooking family.

Optimo - 2001 ... An Espacio Odyssey

The power of music to unite us in joy is unparalleled. That was particularly evident during Optimo's closing set at last year's festival. Every face in the crowd was grinning from ear to ear as they slung out two hours of belters from across the musical spectrum as only they can.

It feels like we need a bit of that joy right now, so @Twitch & Wilkes have been kind enough to let us share the recording for you to listen at your socially-distancing leisure.

Look after yourselves and those around you, we'll get through this if we all stick together. Love to you all, from everyone at Skye Live.

Optimo Espacio - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix Nov 2006

There is a distinct thread that runs through Kasper Bjørke’s vast body of work.
Whether it’s an instrumental club track, a radio friendly affair, one of his forays into the more ambient side of things - or everything that falls in between - the DNA is unmistakably Bjørke’s. Finding that perfect balance of emotion and groove has always been his trademark. And though the musical scenery might change over time, Kasper Bjørke’s sound and vision is clearly evident throughout.

“The past decade has seen Bjørke steadily rising amongst the ranks of artful, eclectic electronic producers…” (XLR8R)

"Kasper Bjørke definitely makes art. Each production feels assured with the Scandinavian impacting a genuine sense of the cerebral into his music" (Clash Music)
