Rita Bass - E404 Lockin4u Mix

'Shadow of the Tomb Raver' is the first installment of the SI mix series, coming in fast, hard and hot from new Naarm duo @callconnect. 

Composed of Tanya (@t-n_dj) and Monique (@moniquearaujoratedm), Call Connect have prepared an hour of juicy leftfield tech, hard-hitting breaks and 4-to-the-floor trance-inspired acid that begs to be moved to alongside the loudest speakers at your disposal. Both brimming with talent in their solo projects which includes being well-seasoned DJ's, there's no shock that joined together the pair has already become such a formidable force in the dance community, which this mix does not shy away from reminding us!

B.P.T. Radio 062: Sanctuary

Come flock together beneath the sun as we journey on a cool breeze through the rhythmic sands of time with a handpicked selection from Paul Hillery. Dip your toes into crystal blue waters while the sound of a cosmic troubadour drifts by. Glide to joyful places and wide-open spaces while dropping out to a pulse that connects us in shamanic shuffle. Reminded that we have more to connect than drive us apart.

Paul Hillery is a relentless seeker of musical treasures. Uncovering lost gems which he initially documented on the 'Folk Funk and Trippy Troubadours' blog and YouTube channel. He is the creative force behind the celebrated BBE Music series ‘We Are The Children Of The Sun‘, releasing 3 critically acclaimed compilations in the last 18 months, alongside this he has curated a number of well-received reissues for the label. He has also curated 2 compilations in the ‘Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours’ series for RE:WARM. Receiving praise from all the right places, including BBC 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne compilation of the week, Gilles Peterson giving his records plenty of airtime and rave reviews in Uncut, Shindig! Test Pressing and CLASH. He has gained a reputation for his continued deep digging and archival of lost music. And has built long-standing relationships with artists with a mission to give them the exposure they deserve.

Paul has carried his record box to many a venue, playing alongside The Polyphonic Spree, Arthur Lee & Love, Bonnie Dobson, Spiritualized, 4 Hero, Happy Mondays, Simian, The Bees, Julian Cope, Courtney Pine and many, many more. He has also graced the turntables at Spiritland, Refuge, Festival No.6, Lunar, Edinburgh Fringe, Psychemagik’s Magik Forest, The Chill Out Tent, Moseley Folk & Arts, Stowaway, We Are Love, and countless others. In addition to curating music, he writes the occasional article and provides sleeve notes for albums. We hope you enjoy this mix as much as we do. Much Love @idlecellars
