2024: The Mix

American artist Introspekt (@sageintrospekt) has a sound rooted in the darker side of UKG but comes at it from a unique perspective that incorporates elements of US garage and ballroom. The LA-born, NYC-based talent has now made her mark in Europe as a DJ and a producer on labels like Eris Drew and Octo Octa's T4T LUV NRG. Her style blends heavy basslines, diva vocals and well-crafted broken beats into something that harks back to the sounds that once came out of the likes of Paradise Garage and Club Zanzibar, always with a focus on bringing up her own community.

She says that the idea behind this week's mix was "to take the listener on a journey through tech-garage sonics and intergalactic dancehall rhythms." Tracks of her own and those from Skream, Holloway, Hatcha, Phuturistix and many more all plot a line through earth-shatteringly heavy rhythms from across the past, present and future of garage, dubstep and bass. It's a mix aimed at both body and head from this formidable talent and is a great taste of what to expect from her when she plays Dekmantel Festival later in the year.

San Francisco's @djfarsight shares a peak time mix pairing rapid-fire passages with hypnotic blends

"This is a three-deck mix showcasing music I have been playing out recently, including unreleased bits from myself and a friend, across a wide range of genres and rhythmic motifs. The energy is representative of what I might play at peak time, with rapid-fire passages contrasting against longer, more hypnotic blends."

@foldmusic drops a mix of rare cuts and cutting-edge bangers for dubplate season.

"I recorded this just before my recent trip to Asia and at the time it was mostly unreleased material. So big thank you to all the producers that sent me new music! I wanted to display some of the incredibly talented and unrecognised producers that are making really cutting-edge music. There are a few choice and rare cuts from yesteryear, a couple cheeky edits and some new forthcoming bits on my label FLDIN2. The mix is the physical embodiment of #dubplateseason."

@giuliatess: "In this mix, I wanted to encapsulate the beats and hedonistic vibe from the '90s dance music and club scene - which is, I think, what I tried to reflect throughout my whole EP.

I put quite a few progressive breaks in there - something that has become a bit of a staple in my music and my sets (or so I’ve been told!). It’s become a bit of an obsession, so it was great to be able to channel that in this mix. This mix was created to get your blood pumping and I hope it can achieve that in whatever environment that means to the listener - whether it's to be played on a treadmill, a spin class or the afters at the office Christmas party, I want it to encourage people to move and get that huge lift that dance music is made to do."

Korean-born DJ and producer @sooyeonmusic - FKA Oh Annie Oh - shares a cutting-edge mix and speaks about feeling empowered, changing her artist name, and why it's a pivotal moment in her personal life and career.

"To celebrate this shift, I wanted to create a mix that reflects the empowerment I’m feeling during this time. It's packed with attitude, confidence, moodiness, and high-energy club vibes. You’ll find a track from my debut EP ‘Block N Delete’, as well as an unreleased one coming next year, among tracks I’m loving playing in my sets right now."

For 2024’s final instalment of The Mix, @eris-drew & @octoocta provide an hour of Motherbeat-infused ecstacy

"We wanted to do a proper, 128 BPM house mix. Our very ecstatic, house energy mix. It’s going to be just over an hour, because we want it to be in that radiant space for the entire time and play some of our older favourites, as well as newer favourites from our record bag over this past year. We’re not like ‘track of the week’ DJs, when we love something, it’s getting played over the span of a few years, sometimes even 10 years."

DerteeDisco steps into the shadows with a weighty cut that merges swung garage percussion, warped low-end pressure, and chopped vocal fragments into a stripped-back weapon. Let Go of Me captures the tension and drive of classic UKG while leaning into the darker edge of bassline. Out today, this one is built for dim rooms, late hours, and sound systems that know what they're doing.
