Low-Key Reservations | Mix Series

LKR Volume 9 is Compiled & Mixed by 'Chris George'.

Producer / Digital & Vinyl DJ, Chris George is a Brisbane regular in the House & Techno scene with an incredible history and connection to all sorts of music, including downtempo. Downtempo is not a regular, nor known offering from Chris George, so Low-Key Reservations is excited to feature this super fly mix from the man himself!

This downtempo mix takes you on an excursion through soul-touching moments that lead you on a rich, emotive journey, overlaid with slick vocal lines, soaked in groove driven break-beat and bass work, paired with laid back rhythms and melodies.

Low-Key Reservations ː Vol 9 - CHRIS GEORGE | Downtempo

Low-Key Reservations : Volume 10
Compiled & Mixed by 'Jmcee'.

DJ extraordinaire, Jmcee is Melbourne’s “Breakfast Club” god father / head honcho and resident lord / legend of the infamous “Killing Time” and “Circus” venues. 

Jmcee’s approach to music is with his cornerstone philosophy of how much the "now" is indebted to the "then". Of how much the evolution of modern-day dance music owes to the environment it came from. An older environment he sees to be so firmly seeded in the pioneering days of early blues, funk and soul. Jmcee’s unique childhood origin with music comes from varied sights and vigilante sounds of St. Kilda during the late 80s. It’s with these roots that his well-known transc​endent​al genre blending can begin to be understood. Weaving offcut samples like afro american slave and spiritual rhythms into a tapestry of jagged, dry percussion based tech, a Jmcee set bridges the oft neglected gap between todays 4/4 and yesterdays groove. The only thing clear is that his love and deep respect for natural roots grooves and and their current day offspring will become only further interconnect​ed and merged within his music. 

Jmcee has played across the globe at some of the highest quality festivals and clubs the world has to offer, including Rainbow Serpent Festival, Fusion Festival, Waking Life Festival, Chi Wow Wah Town, Sisyphos, Revolver, Breakfast Club and SASH... just to name a few. Jmcee brightens his dancefloors in a way which manages to outcolour an already overco​loured habitat.

This Downtempo / Trip Hop / Hip Hop mix takes you on an excursion through the years and pivotal moments in music that have introduced us to genres and sounds that make you go “what’s this?!”. This is a gracious mix with a unique journey, passionate and poetic lyrical spits, drenched in harmonious & emotive melodies and effects, underscored with killer break-beats and resonate bass bumps. Low-Key Reservations is thrilled to feature this outstanding mix from the man, the myth, the legend, that is Jmcee!

LKR Volume 11 is Compiled & Mixed by 'LackLuster'.

LackLuster is the creative outlet of Melbourne's Jimbo Spice.

Phil has left his mark and influence all over the scene since the late 80’s. From holding long standing residencies and playing at many iconic dance events that have paved the way for Australian electronic music, to releasing music on diverse labels such as Motorik, Junkbeats and Future Classic, to running an eclectic history of club nights with focuses on specific genres, tempos and eras of music, to co-founding Burning Seed - Australia’s first and largest regional Burning Man, to DJing and curating music for Yoga and sound healing events, to running record labels and so much more.

Phil has searched his crates to uncover old and lost vinyls with rare tripped out sounds, swinging you right back to that 90s flavour. Let this mix take you on an excursion through beats with class, bass with style, melody with soul and a unique energy that only wax provides.
