LOP GUEST MIXES

SlimSoul's music journey began at the age of 9, having been raised in a family of singers, drummers and dancers. This led him to a feeling for Afro, deep soulful melodies incorporated within house music. SlimSoul started producing his own house music, because he was looking for something different within those sounds. His goal is to bring people together and spread love through the connection of music. SlimSoul can do just that if he keeps putting out work like this! 

This mix takes you on a journey through the deep end of house and the highest highs of expression. In the future, you can expect to see SlimSoul experiment with ways to blend Tech House and Afro soulful together. His ultimate goal is to spin at a music festival, saying "to have that kind of experience with the people is everything! You can't put a price on that." 

Can't help but agree with the guy. Enjoy SlimSoul's contribution to the LOP Guest Mix Series. We're throwing this on repeat.

LOP GUEST MIX SERIES 002: SLIM SOUL

For the first guest mix of the LOP Guest Mix Series, we have the one and the ONLY Mad Gavs! 

As a DJ and budding producer, she's as versatile and talented as they come. Getting her start on UCLA Radio, she is a champion of the open format, spinning everything from Bicep to Nelly Furtado and discovering her sound all at the same time. You can expect to hear more from Mad Gavs as events start to return and even behind the scenes, using her experience cutting through the noise at Ninja Tune to lend a hand on the label side of LOP. 

Getting an opportunity to witness this incredible woman's growth musically and just as an amazing human has been nothing short of inspiring. Mad Gavs is the first mix for a reason! Get ready for infectious summer grooves and selections you'll never want to end. This is a musical journey and you're invited!

AND!! Lots of Practice is all about action and looks forward to supporting Maddie in her efforts to give back with this stellar summer mix! She has decided that for everyone who sends her or the LOP account a screenshot of themselves listening to the mix this weekend, she’ll donate $1 to Femme House. To show our support and love we’ll be matching that donation! 🤑

Femme House is a 501(c)(3) with the goal of creating and fostering more equitable opportunity for women, trans, non-binary and other marginalized gender expressions and identities in the technical areas of music!

OJ (full name Olivia Johnson) is a DJ and aspiring producer in Los Angeles. It was an easy choice for the Seattle native to keep the nickname - it happens to rhyme quite well with DJ. By day she wields words and creativity as a PR specialist, but in 2019 she decided to apply that knack for storytelling to her main passion: creating musical experiences as a DJ. Pre-COVID she would regularly spin at Westside spots like The Little Friend and Nameless, but during the pandemic has embraced Twitch as a way to find new audiences. She believes music is the most gratifying way to experience and process emotion, and draws further inspiration from dark dancefloors she’s experienced around the world. Expect plenty of acid, techno and breaks alongside chunky, jackin’ house when she’s on the decks. A house head at heart, her multifaceted, multi-genre mixes also fuse ‘90s house anthems with pop and hip hop edits. With a drive second to none, stay tuned for what’s to come from OJ.

LOP GUEST MIX SERIES 005: DERTEEDISCO

Chris's love for dance grooves and deep, soulful sounds can be traced all the way back to his Nebraska farmhouse upbringing in 1995. The first album he can remember buying with his own money (Eric Champion's 'Vertical Reality') tells the story of a hacker hiding in an underground network from government control while the rest of society lives in a virtual world akin to The Matrix, but a full 5 years ahead of that film.  Chris's interest in technology and music grew over the years and after buying his first drum set at the age of 24, while also working as a systems engineer, his trajectory was cemented.  Living in Boston during this time, Chris gigged extensively with bands of all types covering the spectrum between progressive rock, metal, jazz fusion, latin, surf rock, and country.  However it wasn't until a trip to Mykonos in 2019 where Chris finally reconnected with his dance music roots. He caught the house music bug that led him to taking the red pill... buying a controller and starting the deep dive into the underground. Chris relocated to LA that same year and has continued honing his skills as a DJ through numerous recorded mixes, livestreams, house parties, and weekend gigs.

a1. Tides (Under The Moonlight)
a2. Tanggu FM
b1. Radiants
b2. Temple Arp

Building on the buzz around his dynamic techno releases of the past few years, Sam Goku @samgoku makes a welcome debut on Dekmantel with four striking set pieces which subvert the rules of the average floor fodder.

Through his steady stream of output on the likes of Atomnation Berlin-based Robin Wang has established himself as a must-check artist with an instinct for the unconventional. That comes through in jaw-dropping fashion on Radiants’ opening cut ‘Tides (Under The Moonlight)’, a swirling, mystical thumper which rises with graceful restraint to a thunderous peak. By way of contrast ‘Tanggu FM’ brings things up close and claustrophobic, using slippery sound design and stuttering vocals to create a different kind of maverick energy on top of the rugged low end. Even when he does reach for anthemic hooks on the EP’s title track, there’s a fundamental otherness to the sparkling chords and a toughness to the beat which edges out the competition.

This is just a snapshot of the versatility at work across Radiants, a record which will cement Goku’s position as a standout producer taking a less obvious path to truly distinctive, devastatingly original showstoppers.

Hyperaktivist @ The Lot Radio 05-15-2024

hello there, here I present to you another recording of my closing set: a very special one, for @ankali birthday weekender, 17-18th May 2024.

It was an honor to be invited amongst all the amazing artists, and even more so to be able to enliven the dancefloor one last time, until the sun was almost at its peak, the tiredness from weekends' worth of dancing palpable, and it was time to actually close down. 

Have never played for 4 hours straight before - an intense and beautiful experience, and I've decided to give you not only a sneak peak, but a full blown 4,5 hour meal. 

Again, SO grateful for the opportunity and the organization, sending hugs to everyone present, may this recording serve as an ever-lasting memory <3

Long time residents, Group Therapy organizers and dear friends Carlo & Selma presents a 3am to 7am morning sweaty ride recorded at Prague’s Planeta Za for the lovely Soft Limits crew:

Three hours of house bleeding into swampy, garagey, trancey diva spins and early morning grooves - the duo’s classic recipe.

The one for the books, the clouds and all the burning bodies that were a part of it: Yan’s set from our 7th anniversary, the one that turned the room into one giant sweaty goo moving to the rhythm of his selection of proggy house stompers, juicy techno and some trance.
