Celebrated producer @Loodss, aka Elliot Struck, delivers an hour of power for the inaugural edition of our new mix series, Lost Sundays Sessions. 

A top self selector, Loods has rocked dance floors from Nottingham to Newcastle, all the while knocking together a slew of dance floor burners in the studio. This mix runs the gauntlet of sounds Loods has become synonymous for: tasteful, timeless and thumping. 

Find a select few words on some of the inclusions in the mix from the man himself below.

“The first track in the mix – ‘Hildegard’, by Dusky – is the only one I haven't played out. It’s a transportive track I'm really looking forward to spinning it in big space for the first time. Everything Dusky does is so exquisitely produced, and this is no different.

Track three - ‘Modern Romance’ by Catz 'n Dogz & Gerd Janson - Is everything I love about classic house. Emotive chord stabs, M1 piano, optimistic strings, timeless vocal hook. Every time I play it out, it's transcendent. Plus, Gerd is my hero, so..

 As far as the newest and most exciting artist in the mix, that'd be jamesjamesjames. I saw him recently in Sydney (pre-lockdown) playing before the young prince, Skin On Skin. The energy in the room was crazy. He exists in this wildly fun techno vs pop playground, with an incredible ear for melodies that tug on the heartstrings. There's huge talent coming out of Brisbane right now. jamesjamesjames is definitely one to watch.

There's also a new remix by the highly affable DJ Boring. Tristan is a lovely gent and always very fun to watch – his Boiler Room set at the maiden Lost Sundays was a riot. I've really enjoyed hearing his sound evolve over the last couple of years, and his Catching Flies remix is wonderful.” — Loods

2steppin’ directly into your heart, the club and your ears via the latest Lost Sundays Session: Eora's fast-rising UKG producer and DJ, Club Angel 🖤

Happily dwelling amongst the moodier sides of 2-Step, UKG and jungle, Club Angel has cut a name for himself since the release of his debut EP, '6AM' (out via Astral People Recordings) whilst whipping up remixes and edits for the likes of Fred Again.., North East Party House and a beloved anthemic rework of 'Make Me'. With 2023 already having featured performances at Pitch Music & Arts, Digi Culture & Music and Xe54 - plus a forthcoming upcoming national tour in support of Sam Alfred and a debut set at LS on the horizon - it's safe to say this mix has been compiled by one of our favourite angels. Enjoy! 👼🏻

In his own words:

“I’ve included a few of my own tracks in this mix, but the one that gets me most excited is an unreleased one titled ‘5ive’. It’s a bit of a warper; the perfect mix of hard house and speed garage.

An artist I’ve recently discovered is UK-based, Jack Swift. I randomly stumbled across his edit of Lennie De Ice’s track ‘We Are I.E’ and waited at least 4 months for it to come out. I’ve also included an unreleased one from Naarm’s Airwolf Paradise titled ‘Revolver’ - it’s an absolute highlight to play in any set.

The track I’m most looking forward to playing at Lost Sundays is my edit of the iconic Denham Audio track, ‘Make Me’. Everyone ends up singing along so it always makes for a beautiful moment.” - @clubangel
