John Gómez & Nick the Record back at Giant Steps

Seasons greetings! We're closing out 2024 with a selector that perhaps needs no further introduction, but in case you've been living under a rock for the past 15 years, we are extremely excited to present the next Idle Cellars mix by the one and only EDDIE C! Mr. C (NOT THAT ONE) is, in our esteemed opinion, one of the best DJ's in the entire world and we're crazy stoked to have him as the next IC mix for your listening pleasure. Canada-born & Berlin-bred, Eddie has been gallivanting all over the globe as a musical expert in a world of tourists, ready to spread good vibes and his sparkling personality (plus that Canadian politeness we always hear about) to the four corners of the planet. 

His resume is, frankly, ridiculous. As a producer and "editor", Eddie is responsible for countless fantastic releases across disco edit labels like his own RED MOTORBIKE, COMMON EDIT, 7 INCHES OF LOVE, KOLOUR LTD, SLEAZY BEATS, LUMBERJACKS IN HELL and many, many more, plus he's been fully embraced by the Japanese contingent with many releases on MULE sublabel ENDLESS FLIGHT as well as CRUE-L & SOUNDOFSPEED. The man's discography as a producer is as wide as it is deep and he continues to be extremely active with new remixes or originals coming out regularly.

DJ-wise our boy has the chops to be dropped into any situation and rock the party, whether that's at Cafe Del Mar, Panoramabar, the Sunset Campout or dodgy mafia-run nightclubs in deepest Eastern Europe. To put it succinctly, he is...THE MAN. 

We think Eddie C is a perfect closer to our year. Thanks for coming along with us on these journeys, and we hope you can give us a subscribe and stay tuned - we have some seriously cool things happening for 2025 so don't sleep, and have a wonderful holiday season and New Year. From all of us at Idle Cellars - we love you!

Crown Ruler Mix #30 - Sassy J

To mark the halfway point of @SassyJ’s Oceania tour we are blessed to have a mix from the queen herself. To keep the summer vibes rolling, we have a long awaited contribution to our mix series ahead of her shows at Modeci in Seoul and Reach in Hong Kong.

Before you press play, step outside and find your way to a body of water to splash around in. This one is best served soaking up those rays just as Sassy is on her final days in Australia.

Stay tuned for the last little piece of Sassy J, we’ll have the interview recording and imagery from her Sanctuary Exhibition at High Note ready for you very soon.

Crown Ruler Mix #30 - Sassy J

Jeremy Castillo rolls in with bag full of swag to deliver a 100 minutes of no-nonsense, sleaze packed joints built for the open road. One of the heads behind San Francisco’s infamous wine hole Bar Part Time, he channels the spirit of cigarette-stained leather booths and dimly lit dance floors into a mix dripping with attitude. Expect Rock-tinged Disco, strutting basslines, and plenty of grit, all primed for a cruise down the boulevard. Whether you’re behind the wheel or perched up at the bar, this one hits like the first sip after a long day on the tools.

Crown Ruler Mix #34 - Kejeblos

Here at CR HQ we’ve been long time listeners and admirers of Zurich based, Kejeblos and we’re gassed to have him join our ongoing mix series. 

Kejeblos is a man of big taste and big ears that leaps through sounds from all around the globe.

A protegé of Lexx and Alex Dallas from Club Zukunft and Drumpoet Community, Kejeblos belongs to that invincible circle of friends, whose members CCO, Wavetest and Late Invitation are doing the wickedest Chicago House in Liechtenstein, sorry, Switzerland.

Some little treats await you as you press play, with two newbie tunes… one from Palace Pasador’s forthcoming release on Phantom Island and the other from Lexx’s new LP about to drop on the label. 

Enjoy the dive!

Mix of the Week #591: Universal Cave - Soft Rock For Hard Times Vol. 9

Hey y’all! We’re back! This one has been a long time coming. I’m extremely excited to present to you the latest Idle Cellars mix, made by Melbourne’s Jazz-Funk-Cosmic-Disco masters Mildlife! A bit of a hail-mary pass, it was a dream to ask these guys to give us a mix for the series and I’m so happy they said yes! Kev McDowell, who sings and plays synths, put the mix together on the heels of re-starting their excellent Very Fantastic Radio podcast (which you should go subscribe to immediately) and he’s handed in a stone-cold-killer of a mix, a 90-minute journey through more genres than you can count. Which is well-Balearic in our book! 

I have been a staunch advocate of this band since hearing their defining single “The Magnificent Moon” back in 2017. Their music has been a revelation to me and, after seeing them something like five times I can safely say they are one of the best live acts in the world at the moment. Do not sleep on them, and if you haven’t heard their albums Phase, Automatic or Chorus, get thee to a record shop, stat!

Many thanks to Kev for creating a fantastic mix for us and Mildlife management Benny & Will for making it happen!

I SHOT THE SHERIFF

Mendel at Giant Steps: Part II Love Dancing

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.
