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! So let’s help them tear down the barriers to entry, so we can affect change on a systemic, industry-wide level! All you’ve gotta do is listen to the mix and send us a screenshot! 📲🎧

LOP GUEST MIX SERIES 003: SWEET LIKE CHOCOLATE

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.

All of the songs on this comp were made during a month-long music production class I taught over the holidays! Many of these artists had never made music before and most have never released a track. You'll hear a wide array of different styles: house, techno, breaks, ukg, etc. Big ups to all of these amazing new artists who explored new sounds and are giving their music a chance! <3 -Justin

PREMIERE: HeartWerk - Satellites Collide

A 25-year veteran of dance music, SCHROEDS brings his unique style to a new generation of music lovers. Starting off in 1995 as a house music DJ in Cincinnati when he was just 16, he very quickly proved he could hang. He started opening at the infamous Lift every week for legends like Felix the Housecat, Todd Terry and Moodyman. His love for dance music quickly led to production and he started creating a live electronic act with high school friend Jeremy Zunk. The two would go on to get signed as "LP" to Moonshine Records in 2001 releasing several 12" singles.Together with Taylor Pakula in 2002, the trio would become a staple of the Southwest rave scene with exciting live performances and DJ sets, playing alongside artists such as Rabbit in the Moon and DJ Magic Mike. 

SCHROEDS migrated to Los Angeles in 2005 and shortly after started producing for Paul Oakenfold and Adam Freeland. He would go on to release several singles on Perfecto under the moniker "The Fraction" in the late 2000s. After a long hiatus from the dance music scene he was reinvigorated by working at Native Instruments and meeting LA DJs Mary Droppinz, NAIAD and Materielle. The LA Beat Scene also helped reignite the spark with their infamous cyphers and beat retreat. Currently, SCHROEDS is producing new tracks with his unique style and has been leaning in with several LA artists including NAIAD, Mary Droppinz and Taylor Plenn. SCHROEDS has set his path ablaze and with a new fan to his flame, he continues to ignite productions and dance floors alike.

PREMIERE: Di Saronno Feat. Hector Moralez - Another Day In The Street [Simma Black]

REN006:
REN006 opens up with the cinematic lounge cut ‘Tino’, complete with a slow-burning chunky breakbeat and plenty of jazz instrumentation. ‘The Business’ has been teased since the beginning of the label, and for good reason - a perfect blend of jungle drum fills, smooth garage keys, and an unrelenting Reese bassline to bring all the elements together. On the flip side, ‘No Trick No Treat’ shows off Sky’s more experimental side, presenting electro melodies over a mix of daunting choir vocals and a 4X4 garage beat. ‘Keep It Coming’ brings the EP to an explosive close with ultra-punchy drums and serious oldschool ‘SkyKap’ vibes straight out of the late 90’s.
