DEMOS - 2112label@gmail.com

I like to create mixes of atmospheric progressive house, with the occasional bit of techno thrown in too. I always strive to make every mix a proper journey, hopefully ebbing and flowing whilst balancing dark and light, throughout. 

All my mixes contain a blend of propulsive, driving tracks, coupled with deeper, more emotional productions. There is so much amazing music out there, and I always aim to do it justice, and put any track in a context that will give it maximum impact - whilst still fitting perfectly with the mix as a whole. 

I know when the time is right to record a mix, as I feel an absolute compulsion to do so. Everything uploaded to this page has come about as a result of that. I hope they all convey the overall feeling, and warmth, that I was striving for.

I am immensely proud of all of the mixes I have uploaded to my page, and the many others that are hosted elsewhere on this site (including a mix broadcast on Gai Barone's Patterns show) - all of which can be found my playlists. I very much hope that any of you kind enough to take the time to listen, enjoy them.

I was a resident for Progressive House UK from 2020-21, and all the mixes that I recorded for that excellent site, and many others not on here, can be found at:

A bit about me: I am Edinburgh born and bred, I feel incredibly lucky to call this beautiful city home. Growing up, the house was always full of music thanks to my parents. I was also lucky enough to be exposed to some fantastic music thanks to my older brother's exemplary taste.

When branching out on my own, of a wide variety of genres, Depeche Mode were the band that spoke to me the most - with honourable mentions to New Order and The Smiths. 

Even as a young child, the dark atmosphere of their tracks resonated with me, and that has been the biggest influence on the kind of progressive house that I play in my sets.

It was early 90s rave music that first got me into dance music, but it was hearing the bassline on Orbital's 'Halcyon' for the first time in 1995 that made me realise that such music could move you in many, many more ways. 

Seeing Leftfield live in 1996 at the Barrowlands in Glasgow remains the most incredible music experience I've ever had. I was a regular at some seminal Edinburgh clubs in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it was at the legendary Taste where I truly found my clubbing utopia. 

In 2006, thanks to the generosity of Mark and Brian at a Taste afterparty, I had a shot of CDJs for the first time. Later that year, thanks to the advent of virtual DJing, I began recording mixes. I've never really stopped since.

In terms of influences from the world of progressive house, there are too many to mention - but Quivver is my all time favourite producer. As such, when my December 2017 mix was picked out by him for a mix competition he was running, it was among the proudest moments of my life.

I would always consider myself to be a bedroom (or living room!) DJ first and foremost, but I have been lucky enough to play at some fantastic clubs and venues.

I made several appearances at Karnival in Edinburgh, the undoubted highlight of which was appearing on the same bill as Inner City. I was also lucky enough to play at (the sadly now defunct) Kinfolk in Brooklyn NYC, with two of my closest friends.

If DJing was something I never thought I'd end up doing, making music most certainly wasn't - but thanks to Edinburgh legend Kev Wright, I have co-produced numerous tracks that have been released since 2011.

Through Kev I was also lucky enough to tag along with he, Gary and the Beat Laundry crew - and playing live streams during lockdown, with that amazing community, managed to put so many special times into an era that was so challenging for everyone.

My true happy place has always been playing at parties in my living room, or at a friend's house, with a great group of people. 

Those opportunities are few and far between now since my amazing daughter Anya was born in 2023 - but I'm at a different stage of life now, and I am blessed to have this amazing addition to an already phenomenal family.

Making mixes will never leave me though, and I very much hope to still continue to do so, as much as I can, going forward. As much as it's amazing playing in front of a crowd that you're in sync with, I love the permanence of a recorded mix.

There is no better feeling than receiving messages from someone you haven't met, on the other side of the world, letting you know that they are enjoying something that you have created.

As long as I feel compelled to keep putting them together, I will most definitely do so. 

(Very well done if you read this far!)

Progressive House UK
Trance Unleashed

Hi, my name is Mark Selby, back in the day, around about 1990 I first went to the legendary club in my home town of Sunderland "The Blue Monkey" and straight away I was hooked to the ever growing rave scene that was taking over the country. After several years of clubbing and trekking up n down the country attending raves I decided to purchase my own set of Technics 1210's. At first I started messing about with techno until I heard an amazing set played on the Essential Mix by the one n only Paul Oakenfold, that was it, I was hooked to psytrance  buying tracks on Perfecto Flouro, Union Jack and Dragonfly etc. It wasn't long after that I was introduced to epic house music and realised this was the sound that I wanted to start playing, listening to and taking inspiration from dj's like Sasha, John Digweed, Dave Seaman to name a few. Eventually the scene took on the name of Progressive House, this was the style of music that I played for the next 6 years before hearing UK Hard House, I started playing hard house with old friends that I used to go out raving with.
This was a fantastic time when me and my friends did various nights the Sunderland playing in local bars, our most successful night "Crackdown" was a fantastic event where we would pull in a crowd of proper die hard music fans....good times ;-)
After about 6 Years of playing hard house I started to get back into trance music again and also took the digital plunge and started using CDJ's which I found strange at first but soon got the hang of, I messed about with trance for a few years before reverting back to my true roots of progressive house, the music that I first started to play back in 96.
Around 2 years ago I started a SoundCloud account and started putting my mixes online and the rest is history!!!!

A South Coast based Progressive/Techno dj and producer, Erik's love affair with electronic music started shortly after he was born.

"Music was always being played in the house but it was the long car journeys during the school holidays with Jarre playing that really cemented my love of electronic music."

Having taken up DJ-ing in the early 90's, Erik has played all over the country from clubs to festivals, as well as residencies at Bournemouth's top progressive and techno night, Terminal ,and Twisted Global parties along the South Coast. 

Taking in everything from deep house to techno, progressive trance to spaced out breaks, Erik's sets are a melting pot of lush soundscapes and haunting melodies sitting side by side with techno beats and energy infused basslines.

Equally at home in the studio, Erik’s productions have garnered support from dj’s across the spectrum, from Nick Warren to Umek, Cristian Varela to Meat Katie with releases on Lowering the Tone, Prognosis, Krafted Records, AH Digital, Gibbon Records and Wight Label Records to name a few.

Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Khankra’s passion for electronic music started at a young age and has continued to evolve with time. Khankra’s roots have always been entwined in hypnotic grooves, rolling basslines and driving melodies.

At 17 he purchased his first set of 1210’s and from there he began forging name for himself in the Dublin scene, playing at nights across some of the city’s best clubs like The Redbox, The Pod, the Button Factory, Traffic, Mono, The Chocolate Bar.

After somewhat of a hiatus from the scene, in 2014 Khankra had the opportunity to warm up for industry icon, and person hero, Sasha at The Button Factory.

Following this, Khankra teamed up with the Melodic Residents and handed the headphones over to some other industry legends during this time, including Nick Warren, Guy J, Sebastien Leger, Los Soruba, and The Drifter on a number of memorable occasions.

In late 2019, Khankra teamed up with DJ’s Glenn Molloy, Soulfinder and Ger Bozyk to form Fusion Underground. Since then the group have started the Fusion Underground Mix series, which has had some excellent support across the industry and continues to grow.

Khankra has a number of Production projects in play, adding to his releases already on Compatible Records. We should also expect to see Khankra and some top acts playing at Fusion Underground gigs in the near future!
