Under-the-radar Japanese selector, Yuta Suzuki graces us with his first recording in a couple of years. Having built a reputation for having his ear very close to the ground in the endless hunt for interesting, obscure music, this mix speaks to a man who's done exactly that. 

Put together in a remarkably patient way, it's a mature, eclectic collection of underground tracks that possess a certain character, with a slightly off-kilter thread running through.

Firstly, let me just say a very big thank you to everyone who’s made The Idiots Are Winning such a special party over the last five years, and to Louis & Jake, who first pitched the idea to me as we jumped around on a boat in Petrcane for one of the early Electric Elephant festivals. They did all the hard work & I did my usual and just tipped up last minute with a bag of music.

From its humble beginnings in the basement of Life, to the Dance Tunnel, the Argonaut boat parties in Tisno (for EE - thus coming full circle !) and various one-off spots from Hebden Bridge to Kingsland High Street, our idea for a ‘house party’ style knees up that was the opposite of that serious super-clubbing experience, seemed to really strike a chord with a loyal and completely up for it crowd who joined us for laughs and large portions.

We had so many amazing guest DJ’s join us along the way too, Chez Damier, I:Cube, Gilb’r and Maurice Fulton (my favourite party, although they really have all been brilliant) Luke Solomon & Rob Mello, Crazy P, Ewan Pearson, Pete Herbert, Luke Una (always wrecked the place !), Krysko, Sean Johnston and Karizma to name just a few - people we booked because we knew their record bags were a lot deeper than this week’s promo’s, and who, by and large ’got it’

Some seriously 'off the deep end' (almost literally) Idiots' boat parties across the Adriatic (thanks for having us Electric’s !) were the highlight of our clubbing year.
An extra special thank you to all who came aboard with us

It’s been enormous fun : ]


There are lots of mixes up here already from T.I.A.W, from less in-your-face style warm up sessions, to heads-down, low ceiling Dance Tunnel sets, and finally, this one. 

A wonderful venue in NE London, part loft space, part late night drinking den provided the perfect location to celebrate our 5th and sign off in fine sing-a-long fashion. Lots of Idiots favourites all cobbled together across an evening I’ll remember for a very long time.

Ain’t nothing but a party ya’ll…

Armando - 100% Of Disin' You (HENZEL edit)

Felix Dickinson’s story is closely linked with the story of house. He has been playing it (and making it legal to do so via his pre criminal justice act rave orchestration) since day one, has held decade long residencies in Japan and has made it under names ranging from Foolish and Sly to Bastedos. Besides working with labels like Rush Hour and DFA, he also runs his own Cynic Music and has been a key DJ  at places like Glastonbury, Garden Festival and Sonar. His style is, generally, to play music from all over the place, but he always manages to mesh them together into some thing fun and coherent. 

Over the course of 70 odd minutes here he shows off his far ranging taste and looks back as much as forward. Carefully controlled throughout, the set mixes up floor filling house with breezy grooves, chattery Chicago jack and euphoric piano anthems. It’s party starting but tastefully so and once again has you wondering who needs DJ Harvey when you have Felix Dickinson.

Playing records since the early 90s and I will never get bored of it. Over the years many things have changed in the music industry and club culture. However, there was always space for idealism. And I hope that's what you find in my sets. Enjoy! 

Get into the music. It sets you free.
