One of the aspects that made Dekmantel Festival so memorable that didn't make it into our subsequent review was the numerous conversations with performers at the festival in shared transit back to our hotel. Amidst conversations on Oslo taxi drivers with Prins Thomas and Gerd Janson and an exchange with Mount Kimbie's lighting engineer which rarely stayed on one subject for more than a minute, we were lucky enough to share some time with Mick Wills. Fresh from playing the Boiler Room stage, the Stuttgart-based DJ and producer revealed himself to be one of the nicest selectors currently operating and was kind enough to place in our hands the latest edition of his long-running Demo Mix series.

Back in London, with the benefit of a clear head we realised how well suited to our tastes this CD was, and indeed the Demo Mix series as a whole, and some polite enquiries regarding Wills interest in contributing to our podcast series was made. Instead of a studio mix, Wills offered up the chance to publish a live recording made during one of his DJ sets on the US West Coast earlier this summer. Clocking in at over 100 minutes, the performance at California festival Sunset Campout captures Wills in his element in a manner that a living room mix could not and it's easy to see why he's compared to the likes of Traxx and Ron Morelli in terms of fearless selecting.

Speaking to Richard Brophy for a Separate Mind column published earlier this year, Wills freely admitted it's taken some time for him to achieve this status. "With pleasure also comes pain - It took me almost 25 years to become the DJ that I am. There is so much good music that should be rediscovered and you have to listen to a lot of stuff until you find something that is suitable for you." That approach is fully reflected in a mix that swings through decades of music without pause, and contains a healthy dose of the producer's own self styled Cuts.

Despite being on vacation, Wills was kind enough to answer a round of accompanying questions we sent his way, revealing some personal memories of the '90s basement parties he ran in Stuttgart (and Guy Tavares' skills as a breakfast chef), the thinking behind his prolific edits and his future plans. You can read that here:

Next to take a virtual trip Down The Stairs (ok, apart from a few early ones, it's been virtual pretty much the whole time, we'll be honest...) is one half of Australian based duo @Interstellarfugitives, by the name of Georgia Bird (@georgia-bird-3). 

When we discovered a live club mix of Georgia's (https://soundcloud.com/jamiethescorpio/georgia-bird-at-glamorama-for-kinky-audio-11-1am), we basically stumbled upon the art of a warm set being carried out to perfection. It blew us away, and we didn't hesitate to give her a shout with a request to join the DTS ranks. Thankfully, the answer was yes and Georgia has delivered a building hour of rhythmic and heady grooves across to the other side of the world.

Music from the likes of Nummer, Ciel, Roza Terenzi and Bell Towers in here. Check it out, and check the rest of Georgia's stuff on her page!

Ghent based restaurant-cum-dancefloor Amigo has invited some of their extended family members to curate a series of mixtapes, dedicated to make you feel just that little bit more hungry. And willing.
As always, no genres or boundaries — just for fun! Our December issue is created by former Brussels based DJ & food lover Pablo — Handless DJ — Saccomano. In September of last year he moved to Copenhagen, in a short period of time he got acquainted with the local food & nightlife scene. He was kind enough to share his 10 favorite CPH tips. Maybe something for that 2021 citytrip?
