SPND20 Mixtape by Modeselektor

Our new SPND20 Mixtape comes from none other than the mighty @official-mr-g. 📼

If you know, you know: Mr. G is one of dance music’s true originals. From the early days in the legendary KCC crew and his influential work as half of The Advent, to decades of solo output under his own name, Colin McBean has never strayed from his roots. With releases on Rekids, Moods ‘n’ Grooves, Defected, and his own long-running Phoenix G imprint, his raw, bass-heavy electronic-tech-funk sound has moved floors and minds all over the world.

Now, for one of his rare mixtape appearances, we’re honored to share this special vinyl-only piece from his archive.

Recorded on two Technics 1210's and a Rane MP2015 mixer and mixed down to CD with added weight, the mix had been sleeping for years until Mr. G pressed play and surprised even himself. It’s meditative, deep, and packed with the personality you only get when the machines are running hot. It captures the raw energy, honesty, and unmistakable feel that only Mr. G can deliver: just pure groove, and even a cheeky cable cut halfway through that adds to the charm.

It’s not often he shares this side, so we’re grateful he let us dig it out. For us, it’s a perfect snapshot of where he comes from and what he still brings to the table today. A true original.

So you better put on those headphones and dive deep into this one!🔊

Read the cover feature: bit.ly/mochakkmixmag

For the first-ever Mixmag Lab in Mozambique, Mochakk showcased his soulful side, perfectly blending deep, jazzy house and jacking NYC grooves with nods to the crowd and location.

“I’ve wanted to come to Moçambique for a long time, it was the first place outside of Brasil where people started consuming my music, and finally being here has been an incredible experience. I’ve been in touch with amazing local DJs for a while, and I’ve always heard great things about the scene from fellow Brazilian artists who have played here before me," says Mochakk.

“Coming from Brasil, I know how challenging it can be to build a life in music in developing countries like ours. That’s why this Mixmag cover, shot in Moçambique, is so meaningful to me. It’s not only a milestone in my journey, but also a dedication to all emerging artists from places like Brasil and Moçambique. There’s so much talent and potential in our scenes, and I want the world to recognise that.

“My biggest passion when I play is sharing new music, just like I would with my friends, and I want to be able to help bring that same spirit of discovery to the public. Brasil and Moçambique have a connection through history, culture, and musical synergy, and I’m honoured to have collaborated with Mixmag there, to share my story, and to help shine a light on this beautiful scene. I’m so happy to have had this very, very special time captured. It felt like saying ‘thank you’ and getting hugged back.”

New SPND20 Mixtape just landed, welcome @olateks! 📼

Resident of Warsaw’s Jasna 1 and driving force behind the legendary Move Mózg series, Ola Teks has been shaping Poland’s electronic scene with sets that flow between deep techno and classic house  - always guided by intuition and emotion. Recognized by platforms like Boiler Room, Arte Concert, and Mixmag, she’s built a reputation for turning every dancefloor into a story.

Her SPND20 mix is both a showcase of her own sound and a tribute to the spirit of the Spandau family, whose energy has accompanied her since the very start. Fittingly, Ola was the first to bring FJAAK & SPANDAU20 abroad, booking us in Poland back in 2011/2012 - a milestone that still means a lot to us today.

Recorded at home in Warsaw, the mix begins with an intimate glow, rises into full club intensity, and lands gently back down. Along the way: spacious textures, tribal grooves, melancholic-yet-uplifting energy, timeless gems like I:Cube’s 11 Novembre, fresh fire from BAUGRUPPE90 and Cult, an unreleased track by Contakt, plus local heat from 2shy of Privet Press.

It’s raw, flowing, and straight from the heart - stitched together with precision, freedom, and deep respect.


SPND20 Mixtape by Ola Teks

Sultry low-end grooves from a rising house enchantress.

"What kind of music do I actually want to play?" Every artist asks themselves this at some point in their career. What is a sound? And why do we personally identify with it? For Lea Lang, AKA dj sweet6teen, this question is the guiding force behind her RA Mix.

Born in Aachen, a German spa city close to the border with Belgium, Lang found her musical feet in the vibrant student hub of Cologne. It was while studying social work at the Technische Hochschule that she fell into the nightlife scene. 

Finding her sound wasn't an instant process. Lang cut her teeth on breaks-heavy house and prog (think Angel D'Lite), traces of which you can hear peppered across RA.1004. But as she explains in this week's Q&A, the pandemic years were, musically, a turning point. 

"High BPMs and short-lived trends became very dominant and I realised I couldn't stand the pace anymore," she writes. "That's when my sound naturally shifted into something more minimalist and timeless."

Nowadays, you'll find Lang in Berlin during the week, and on weekends… well, take your pick. A busy touring schedule means she's on the road almost constantly —this summer she's debuted at Horst Arts & Music, Butik, Dimensions and Panorama Bar (to name just a few). 

And her RA Mix? It oozes charm from the jump. Buoyant with gyrating low-end, it's hard to think her sound was ever anything else: vocals twirl around analogue basslines, material à la Eddie Richards and Terry Francis's historic Wiggle parties, as well as the kind of bongo action that wouldn't feel out of place in an Apollonia session. Call it waft, wiggle, smooch house—whatever it is, we like it.

RA.1004 dj sweet6teen

This set is my way of telling an evolving story — one that carries both strength and elegance. Along the way, sounds shift and transform. My music is built from multiple styles, and I believe what truly matters is how these styles connect with each other, creating a unique piece: the flow. Sharing this story is my way of resonating and connecting.
