A podcast series dedicated to selectors who have played or are playing at our home in Tisno.

Love International Mix Series

Next up on our little series, we have a special one for you. Klasse Wrecks head honcho Luca Lozano takes us through some special moments.
 
Luca Lozano is a British techno producer based in Sheffield. His sound draws heavily on the early rave era, exploring genres such as Hardcore, Breakbeat, Acid House, New Beat, Bleep, and Jungle. Luca co run Klasse Wrecks with techno artist Mr. Ho  as well as its sublabels, Grafiti Tapes, Zodiac 44, Junglish Massive, Elegal Records

We don't need to say much more as @lucalozano has:
 
"For this mix I’ve scrolled through my mental rolodex, dug into my faded festival memories and included the tracks that hit the bullseye and created ‘that' elusive and magical moment. Each track has a special connection and memory for me, whether its opening my set with Debbie Malone at Houghton or tearing the roof off Horst in Belgium with Daisy Glow. Now is not the time for posing and pouting, now is the time for pianos and uplifting vocals. Now is the time to run, find your friends and tell them that you love them.
I hope to see you all sometime again soon.
Luca Lozano. Planet Luke 2021."

As the winter months set in and the days shorten we have kicked our podcast series back into action ahead of our 5th edition in Tisno in 2020. 

First up is a close friend and owner of the best bloody record shop in the South West, Chris Farrell. Taking us through 60 minutes of slick house & techno this selection shows the class in this Bristolian's collection. From raving bangers to the more deep and warm dub sounding beats, this mix is a masterclass in how to  execute 60mins of selection whether that is a warm up set in cosies or playing in the Tisno sun(or rain).

A live recording from one of the finest's parties Berlin has in that wonderful playground of madness called Griessmuehle, of course it’s Cocktail d'Amore.

For the next instalment of our Love International Mix Series, we have bRAVE and Metz Attack affiliated Maja Pa. 

Influenced by many experimental, synth, wave and industrial bands, 80's - 90's production, classical music and brothers tape collections, Maja began her DJ career just a few years ago. While avoiding the stereotypical party sounds, she presents interesting, energetic, sometimes eclectic sets that can vary between techno, electro, EBM, acid, avant-garde and various experimentations.

The Croatian takes us through a thrilling quest of chug and synth in this hour-long mix where we transcend through her trademark sounds. We are excited that she will be playing at Love International this year.

My Rules Records boss Justin Van Der Volgen steps up to the plate for our podcast series, he does not disappoint. 

Justin Van Der Volgen is an American DJ and producer living in New York City. Known for his extended sets and varied musical style, he’s equally comfortable in foggy warehouses, dirty bars and seaside festivals.

The hour-long recording of tantalizing disco sounds leaves us longing for paradise. Justin pushes a care-free sound in this mix which is followed by a willingness to get your groove on. We think he's on to a winner here!

Next up, we hand over the reins of our podcast series to Kaifeng-born, Vancouver-based Yu Su.

Yu Su works as a composer, DJ, and sound artist. Tapping into an expansive repertoire of "fourth world" ambience and left-field dance music, Yu Su's emotion-packed compositional punches are best described as organically groovy jazz-bient expeditions between coasts.

Yu Su walks us through a path of mysticism - In this one and a half-hour long insight into the knowingly unknown, where we are met with murky sounds, dubby atmospheres and truly cosmic vibrations. Strap yourselves up and get ready for take-off...

Love International Mix 023: Yu Su

All this self-isolating has got us built up with bags of energy, step up Scott Fraser of Body Hammer and Quinn Whalley of Paranoid London to service this.

Ravers, party makers and creation of flavours - both Scott and Quinn are no strangers to dance music and the club scene. Born and raised in Glasgow, now based in London, Scott Fraser has been part of the electronic music and club community as a dancer, music fan, club promoter, DJ and recording artist for over 30 years. The rather elusive Quinn Whalley of Paranoid London would be foolish to be ignored... this is the real deal: dirty, repetitive music for DJ's & dancers. ha-how-ha-how-ha-how-ha-howse nae shon!

Scott and Quinn lift us from under our feet over this soundtrack for the night time as we manoeuvre through this 1-hour and 40-minutes of hypnotic House rhythms galvanized in Acid, who said staying in couldn't get rowdy?

Love International Mix 024: Scott Fraser (Body Hammer) B2B Quinn Whalley (Paranoid London)

Up next on the podcast series, we receive an incoming transmission from one of our own Ellie Stokes.

Behind every great party, there is a great party starter – Ellie is no exception to this. Anywhere from small pubs such as the one she looks after (The Love Inn, Bristol) to thousand capacity plus venues and festivals, Ellie has mastered the skill important of getting the mood going. 

All aboard as the Lady of the Inn takes us on an adventure through this 2-hour magical mix of cosmic vibrations and tribal expeditions.

Love International Mix 025: Ellie Stokes

Next up on the Love International Podcast Mix series, Croatian-born Mimi of Ekstrakt steps inside the Sanctum.

As an ex-altar boy, Mimi is no stranger to the temptations of faith. It is no surprise then that as a young man he strayed from the path laid out by the church fathers in search of a different kind of light. Wandering alone through the valley of shadows, Mimi pledged to the two-headed hydra of Techno & House. His soul turned as black as the vinyl he was possessed by, and his hands became instruments of the unholy.

In this 1-hour excerpt, Mimi crusades the realms of House, Disco and Techno in an excursion of biblical proportions to which we find the light he's been searching for... Can we get an Amen?!

Love International Mix 026: Mimi

Step up next, Jonny Rock @jonnyrock. If u know .. u know 
 
A familiar face on the London house and disco scenes. Alongside running his labels Disco Hamam and Hamam House, and his Oldschool Rider moniker, Rock skilfully joins the dots between the old school house, lefty underground disco and boogie vibes in a party setting.

Love International Mix 027: Jonny Rock

We've just announced Love International 2021 and we've got an enthralling mix to get you excited! Night Sheen Records founder Josh Caffé gives us visions of being by the Adriatic sea.

Josh Caffé is an assured part of the underground acid house and techno scene. He is someone who has nurtured a close following of fans thanks to his varied, lauded DJ sets and live PA's.  He has laid down such sets at both cosy basement parties and larger festival gatherings such as Block 9 at Glastonbury. For those that were with us in Tisno in 2019 he also joined Paranoid London on the main stage for an unforgettable set. 

It's hard not to be bouncing around wherever you are with the sultry records played by Josh in this hour-long mix. Dipping our toes wet, we get a taste of Tisno... damn it tastes good!!!

Love International Mix 030: Josh Caffe

As we enter a lockdown winter, we got NYC x Berlin's Gabrielle Kwarteng to bring the temperature up with our first mix of 2021.

New Yorker now Berlin-based Gabrielle Kwarteng’s multifarious selection won her the Mixcloud Online Radio award for the best eclectic show in 2017. Since then, this compelling DJ is starting to turn heads offline by bringing her diverse sound to clubs and festivals around the globe.

Next up on the Love International Podcast, we have Chez De Milo sailing us away.

Hailing from everyone’s favourite city Bristol, Chez has been in the game for a hot minute. Having been revered by the likes of the late great Andrew Weatherall, Chez has built up his name through his mesmerising metaphysical sets by finding the golden ratio of cosmic to chug. His Club Blanco parties manifest those secret substances of cosmic and chug, hosting the likes of Lauren Hansom, Moscoman and ALFOS (A Love From Outer Space).

Our minds are bent in this two and a half-hour carpet ride through our senses, we are taken to the depths of universes to infinity and beyond 🚀

In addition some very special news in that Chez's debut EP will be released on 12th February under the Futureboogie imprint. After listening to this mix you’re probably going to want to go check it out: https://futureboogie-recordings.bandcamp.com/album/bushwa-ep-incl-smagghe-cross-version
