Pioneer probably gets banded about more than it should, but Mr. G has been heavily involved in the UK’s house and techno scene since the early ‘90s. A founding member of legendary techno crew The Advent, and releasing music under several guises along the way. He settled as Mr.G more than 20 years ago, releasing records on labels like Defected, Warm Sounds, Bass Culture, Boiler Room, DBA (to name a few) plus a string (or more like a rope) of self released records on his own label Phoenix G. He has toured all over the world and if his Boiler Room is anything to go by, his live set looks like its a spectacle well worth trying to see in the flesh. 

This mix celebrates years of dreams coming true. It is made up of records he bought during his many trips to Tokyo, a place he holds dear in his heart. Jam packed full of hard to find and unheard gems that span the electronic music scene, this Shop Sounds will go down as a future classic. It pays homage to the city where he brought back fabrics for his wife and partner in crime Cath during every trip. Little did either of them know that over two decade later these fabrics would form the basis of their next chapter. But more on that coming up soon, keep em peeled folks over on www.wellgosh.com

Dennis Cruz delivers the landmark 300th release on Damian Lazarus’ iconic Crosstown Rebels imprint with ‘The Snake Charmer’ EP, featuring collaborations with Ian Ludvig and the label boss himself.

An artist at the height of his powers, arriving off the back of his busiest Ibiza season to date, it’s safe to say that Dennis Cruz is a man in extremely high demand within the global electronic landscape. Founder of his own labels MÜSE and CRZ, while featuring as a key member of the Solid Grooves Family, Cruz’s longstanding ties to Crosstown Rebels date back to his debut in 2018, featuring as a regular on the label and at their extensive global events from fabric London to Miami’s renowned Get Lost extravaganza since. Returning to the imprint following his excellent album ‘Roots’ in 2021, plus his recent contribution to the 20th Anniversary compilation with his remix of Pier Bucci’s ‘Hay Consuelo’, Cruz is back in emphatic fashion as he marks the 300th release in the label’s revered catalogue with his latest EP ‘The Snake Charmer’ - featuring two solo tracks alongside collaborations with fellow Crosstown signee Ian Ludvig and label founder Damian Lazarus himself.

A master of crafting rolling arrangements with subtle nuances that keep dancefloors locked in unison, the four tracks across the package see Cruz experiment even further as he showcases a global array of influences. Opening track ‘Snake Charmer’ welcomes a crisp organic percussion arrangement accented by eastern flutes through to snaking grooves and hooky female vocal samples throughout, while ‘Revolution’ welcomes an all-star cast as he links with Damian Lazarus for a heady, skippy slice of house merging hazy chords and bright stabs with vocals from contemporary Detroit nightlife icon and staple DJ Holographic.

On the flip, the Spaniard once again steps out solo and dives deep into a low-slung and playful groove on ‘Time Out’, introducing a wealth of vibrant vocals amongst blossoming melodies and soulful organ riffs, before closing the show as he joins Ian Ludvig to present an off-kilter, impactful and warping closer guided by provocative vocal snippets across ‘Pain Away’.
