Nothing wrong about a proper pool party, right? Following the last more mellow mixtapes here I decided to shake things a bit up with my latest Messy Mix and provide a proper mood-lifter that takes us right back to the heydays of late 90s hedonism. Let me invite you to a posh pool party with way too cool people that takes place somewhere in 1998. While I was clearly too young and too uncool to ever get invited to such a celebration I always envisioned it as a place where slick house music grooves would be playing so that’s why I compiled these tunes from around ‘95 to ‘98. So this set ended up including legendary producers like Dave Morales, Tony Humphries, Mousse T., Bob Sinclair and Danny Tenaglia. You’ll find a few legendary pop smashers in there as well, just in a different musical form.

Even without the pool party context this selection represents a sound I’ve been digging a lot lately. Maybe there’s a nostalgic notion in there as well, maybe it’s the summer. Well, I’ll leave the interpretation up to you. Until then: Grab a drink, enjoy the summer days and dream yourself away to a better place.

Love and good vibe to you all,
Burnout Sumner

Messy Mix 08 | Grooving At A High-Gloss Pool Party In 1998

For Episode 02 of the Balearic London mix series we're joined by the amazing Jaye Ward. Jaye is an expert at all things weird and wonky, from ambient to techno, and in this mix she explores the trippier sides of balearic. DJ Harvey selected her several times to support him - be it at his album launch or clubs like KOKO - so you know she must be excellent with his stamp of approval. Expect the unexpected and dive in.

You can see Jaye play the upstairs room at our party this Saturday 19th July at 17 Little Portland Street, with Willie Graff headlining. Sign up here to join us: https://www.little-portland.com/booking-options-htfs

Floating in on the warm waves, Skopje based DJ Soul Case serves up a laid back blend perfect for slow afternoons and sun faded evenings. Known for his work behind Amok Radio, Oubli, and the YouTube channel 50eurogigs, Bojan brings his ear for overlooked gems into sharp focus here. The mix drifts through a wedge of new finds from a recent trip to Brazil, weaving in Hip Hop, R&B, Street Soul, and downtempo disco, stitched together in a relaxed manner. It's the sound of summer on plastic chairs, with an ice cold one in your hand.
