Nearly 4 hours of being so smooth it's slippery. The fun kind of slippery. Sliding you downtempo into Boogie, slowly burning you through streets of Soul, touching you like only RNB can. 

Put down that ruler in your hand, because this mix from Daniel Pisano, we assure you, is very good measure.

NTS - Doing Time w/ Fritjof Drake

Next up in our Record Club Guest Mix series are Sanctuary, the moniker of Ben and Liam, a DJ duo from Australia who have been living in Berlin for the past 9 years. You may be familiar with their 'Life Classics' project. It started as an output for their own edits then later branched out into a mix series and club residency at OHM in Berlin.

Their mix landed in our inbox and from the get-go we knew it was destined for the Record Club series. Covering many spectrums of soul, it masterfully glides through tempos and unleashes a quiet storm inside you. Not ones to fear a vocal, it's stuffed full of soaring voices, sweet strings and the tightest grooves. An extended blend done right!

The guys pulled from of a couple of record bags and served it up on 1210’s at their Berlin base. As they described it "back to back burgers, boozas and records all the way". 

The mix is loaded with many of their favourites and a few dusty ones from the back of their shelves. Look out for cuts from Reggie S, Stage Coach, Edwynn Page and Herby Charles. It's packed with winners, some you knew, some you do now. A real steppers' delight.

Thanks so much to Ben & Liam for the mix.

Good news! After a few months off, Pacific Spirit is back with another hot session courtesy of NYC's finest, @enterthelloyd. Here are a few words about the mix from the man himself...

“I recently found this mix of weird R&B dubs while pillaging old laptops for music and I haven’t turned it off since. If you've ever dug through old drives for anything you know how mundane and unrewarding it can be. It's like a road trip that never ends. However, when you come across a file labeled  "Actavis and Activator" you pull the car over and see what's going on. I couldn’t tell you when or why I made it but I’m glad I did. Feel good vibes for feel bad times. Hope you like it.”

Thanks for listening, everybody!

Mendel at Giant Steps: Part I Deep Listening

Sunday Mix - Emma-Jean Thackray

Mendel weaves together different rhythms, intensities and emotions with precision and passion. His captivating sets reflect a broad spectrum of music plucked from anywhere in the last fifty years, from sweet boogie steppers and high-energy disco to deeper house, moody electro, and gritty acid tracks. Though his dance floors always move through moments of euphoria, Mendel favours the sensual moments over fist-pumping fixations. His party—and life—philosophy is to transcend quick entertainment and strive for something meaningful. This ethos resonates with audiences worldwide who seek genuine and heartfelt experiences. Whether playing on a wild boat, a big festival stage or in the darkness of an intimate club, Mendel’s sensitive perception and proficiency, honed over two decades of experience, are ever evident. 

In his hometown of Amsterdam, Mendel hosts the Ciranda parties, a community-driven event series. Ciranda’s programming platforms upcoming talent, unsung heroes, and the occasional legend, while its loyal and diverse dancers bring a truly special, warm energy that is hard to come by.
