Bristol based @noodsradio resident and founder of Down To Earth Collective, @o_kirk steps up for with an hour of his signature cosmic and transcendental prog.

This mix was inspired by late summer night walks to the club, as the sun goes down and the excitement for the night ahead building - or those final hours of sun at a festival when the anticipation for what’s ahead is at it’s peak. It’s a collection of records I’ve been enjoying a lot this summer and ones you’ll hear a lot in my coming festival sets. Both for early hours and late night missions.

Probably our last Down To Earth night we put on alongside Public Affair and @pressuredome at Strange Brew in Bristol a few weeks ago. The energy and positivity in that room was the best I’ve felt in a while and all the DJs were sick. The party was a mega success and being able to run it with friends made it all the more rewarding.

New @remotif mix on @deephouse-tehran, I think I’ve listened to it about 20 times. I’ve not heard a mix from Joe in this lane before, deep, broken, low-slung flowing into trancey goodness. It’s a cracker.

Probably my parents, they’re real music heads. Most times I head back home we just sit up all night going b2b2b on Spotify or YouTube or whatever trying to one up each other for a reaction. I’ve always been surrounded by music and encouraged to explore different genres or scenes

Electro Mix

We keep the energy booming as Pacemaker delivers her own distinctive twist on the Hardcore genre. Expect the classic breaks but with extra speed and extra thump as Pacemaker sprinkles in some of her love for Gabber and Makina.

Killahertz Episode 42 - Pacemaker - Happy Hardcore & Makina Mix

Interview: https://mixmag.net/feature/paga-nugs-impact-mix-dj-interview

@papanugs shares an energetic mix and speaks about lockdown production experiments and changing up his style with trance, progressive and hard house influences

"This mix is 90% my own productions and 10% forthcoming Suckerpunch from some other stuff we’ve signed, it was fun checking where the blends would fit and which were in key. Mostly things from me and three or four tunes from the label, showcasing new and unreleased stuff with a few of the old songs I can still play in my sets today and represents the sound I’m playing now, the trancey, proggy, hard house sound; there’s so much energy in it man! I went to this party in Berlin called Fandango, and everyone wasn’t stood around waiting for a drop, everyone was just constantly dancing, the reaction reaches all of the way through with those subtle changes.

I love finding those sounds from the old school stuff, you know, big stabby square waves and weird acid lines that find a way to fit together somehow, simple drums that pop out of the mix – then those hard groove and hip house influences from pulling hip hop vocal samples.

I’d spent so much time with bass music that it was something I’d never even seen before, it fascinated me. I used to think techno and trance was “duff, duff, duff,” very simple, not much changing. But you find those gems, so much groove and intricacies in the drums and the way it winds together. There are gems in every genre but that really opened the door to something else, something I like a lot more.

That’s the thing, you might hate a genre until you hear the masters of a genre, you might hate house until you hear one of Dr Banana or The Ghost’s sets, or you think you hate drum 'n' bass until you hear dBridge – there are gems in everywhere.

For me, this trance sound has the speed of breaks and garage, the four-by-four hypnotic pattern of house and techno, it has the vocal chops from other bits — a mash up of so many things that I love."

Impact: Papa Nugs

Let’s be real, it was only a matter of time before we got the notorious Silva Snipa on the Killahertz show. Mixing Darkside & Techstep on vinyl from as early as 2019, this DJ has played an unquestionably influential role in the return old skool DnB amongst our younger generation. From early days at The Grow, to stages at Outlook Festival, Silva Snipa has become a household name. Tune in as Snipa blesses our technics with a 2 hour set of the deepest, darkest riddims.

Killahertz Episode 43 - Silva Snipa - Darkside / Techstep Drum & Bass Vinyl Mix

Our resident, Mina, is back to wrap up our first year in production, this time bringing along good friend and head honcho of Semtex Soundsystem: Dempz. Killahertz was born with a Darkside & Techstep mix, so it only made sense to finish off the year in the same manner. Expect a seriously hefty B2B from these two!

Our final mix of 2023 comes from Earth Dog Records founder, Jek @earthdogbk - an hour of sludgy, swampy prog & rave fuelled trance made for  his favourite place to dance, the great outdoors. 

Big love to Jek for the contribution and rounding off a great year of submissions! <3

The concept of this mix is biome rave. Each arch/section is based on different outdoor environments where I imagine a perfect dancefloor.

I also wanted to include a few unfinished productions I’ve been working on, It was a challenge but also fun to fully customize tracks to fit into the mix.
