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 001: MAD GAVS

SWEET LIKE CHOCOLATE. is a Black-owned, collaborative house music, fashion and entertainment project; founded by DJ/Producers alexNOIZE and ZEN1TH. 

Inspired by the likes of The Martinez Brothers, Paul Johnson and Dennis Ferrer, their sound ranges from soulful classic house music, to energetic Ibiza tech house crowd lifters. With them, no set is the same- and this has created an extremely high demand for them to play across major cities within the USA.

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.

With over 600 private shows,  numerous club events, playing alongside the likes of Shdws, Justin Jay, Luke Andy, Jason Ross, Charity Strike, Mark Farina,  Dj Ideal, Dj Casanova, The Funk Hunters, Cheechmo, and Subset. Derteedisco makes an excellent addition to any line-up.

Four days ago, we capped off a season of parties that, at one point, we weren’t sure would ever happen. Mister Sunday was our first return to the dance floor after lockdown, and it remained, week in and week out, a source of joy and rejuvenation in the last six months’ roller coaster of reopening.

This mix was recorded at the finale of Mister Sunday’s outdoor season, with Nowadays founding resident DJs and Mister Sunday dons Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter tearing through rough-and-ready industrial, propulsive New York soulful house, bubbling big room techno, boisterous rave tracks, acid melters, Italo jams, jazz dance and all kinds of other cathartic sounds.

An extended four-hour version of the mix is up on the Patreon for all supporters. You can download and listen to the whole shebang right now if you’re a subscriber. If you’re not, it’s just $5/month, which gets you access to a huge archive of mixes, classes and other goodies, as well as early access to party announcements.

It's the TC... Channeling the energy of everyone's favourite Essex hun, Tia Cousins is who she is, and she ain't gonna apologise for it.

The London-based DJ mines for music on the outer fringes, whether its new wave oddities, off-kilter breakbeats or hypnotic techno. That said she's not just got a knack for chugging it out in a dark club, she can raise a smile too with her synth-pop, folk and post-punk finds; an eclecticism that's earned her a number of radio residencies over the years on NTS, Balamii and more recently on Noods Radio.

This no-nonsense attitude and bottomless music knowledge has caught the ears of events and festivals like Fabric, Field Manuevers and Love International, as well as the attention of Overmono who invited her to play as the support on their UK and Ireland tour.

Another duo who also imparted an invitation to her to join them on the arm up were our Glasgow favourites Optimo, and lucky for you lovely lot Tia has kindly given us the entire recording to share with the world... A whopping three hour trip live and direct from Phonox. Long may she sliv...

From London to LA, @laalls has always had a taste for the dancefloor. Fully immersing herself in both cities, the underground music scenes have shaped her as a person, whether it's the inspiring friends she made along the way, the clubs and festivals she experienced or the new sounds she was exposed to, LAALLS has always had a deep passion to drive the culture forward. An admirer of the art of DJing and an ear to the ground, it wasn’t until LAALLS moved to LA in 2019 that she got to grips with the craft and found another way to share music on a bigger scale. Her DJ sets are reflective of her years of influence ranging from House, Acid House, Techno, to UK Garage, Drum & Bass, Jungle, Breakbeat, and everything in between. 

We're filled with joy to have LAALLS join us to commemorate our mix number 20 on the 20th! ✳️

I haven't posted a live DJ set for a long time - so here's one from this summer's Rural Festival held in the mountains not far from Nagano in Japan. It was my 2nd year at the festival, and I had an amazing time playing from 2.30-5am, with my set starting in pitch black and ending with the sun emerging for the last moments of the set. Big shouts to all the crowd and of course the organisers for having me back!
