What’s left to be said about Cassettes For Kids, aka Melbourne’s Zak Degenhardt?

Releasing two EPs in 2020 (‘Dreams’ and ‘Rest’), C4K’s knack for defying expectations has seen his reputation as a craftsman in the studio firmly on the ascent. Paired with a Boiler Room x Lost Sundays performance for the ages, Zak’s dynamic track selection has seen him secure sets at the world-renowned Pitch Music and Arts Festival, Wool Store Warehouse and our very own Lost Paradise.

It’s our pleasure to invite him to step up for the second edition of the Lost Sundays Sessions, now streaming via the link in our bio. A bit about the mix in his own words:

“There are a few Aussie tracks featured, with ‘Undulate’ by Pugilist (27:00) the closest to my heart. I used to work with Alex and loved swapping tunes + playing each other’s demos. Pugilist comes from a dub background with releases on Melbourne’s ‘Modern Hypnosis’ label as well as Martyn’s ‘3024.’ There’s a level of detail and precision that great dub producers create, and Pugilist is by far one of the most talented producers we have.

There was no way I couldn’t include ‘Yes, Ok?’ by Beep Tzt (30:03), aka Georgia Bird (In2stellar) and Joe Buchan. Georgia is one of my mates and I’m truly blown away by this release. There's a pool of atmospheric, emotive breakbeat coming out of Melbourne that I’m super excited to see flourish.

There is something so over the top and ridiculous about X Coast’s ‘Track 4’ (42:00) that it really only makes sense to be aired in a club. The bassline on the off-beat is a little psy/trance, but it’s complemented by grooving percussion that never ceases to take a break. Pure peak time energy.

Finally, the track that gets me most excited is B From E’s ‘Kyo’ (20:50). I first heard this in a video from Roskilde Festival a few years ago, and it gives me that uplifting, introspective house feeling. It’s such a classic 90’s-influenced track, but the groove and production set it apart. It’s an exciting foray into what I love about house music, and B From E in general.” — Cassettes For Kids

Lost Sundays Sessions 002: Cassettes For Kids

Rising Melbourne/Naarm-based producer Sam Alfred steps up for our eighteenth Lost Sunday Session.

With his well-received 6-track debut EP ‘Strictly Business’ (released via Love Above Records) and his latest ‘Dancing On The M1’ EP (out via Happy Wax), Alfred has since found himself on big-ticket lineups such as Pitch Music & Arts and Strawberry Fields. With his music seemingly on everyone’s ‘must play’ list, Sam is carving a name for himself within the industry and shows no signs of slowing down. Stream the mix via the link in our bio to hear why he’s earned the term ‘one to watch’ - trust us.

A few words on the mix from Sam:

“This mix features a stack of Aussie artists, such as Skin On Skin, X CLUB., Roza Terenzi and JamesJamesJames. I’ve also included an unreleased one from Cassettes for Kids, ‘Tranquil’, which I first heard during lockdown while watching a CFK virtual stream. It blew me away, and has definitely become a main-stay in my sets. Plus the final track - ‘Fantasy’, by CRUSH3d - is my favourite song at the moment. I’m a huge fan of CRUSH3d, so being able to play some of his forthcoming material is an honour. 

UK DJ/Producer Prozak is an artist I recently discovered who makes fast paced and soulful garage and breaks, which is what I’m all about.  Prozak has been releasing a bunch of tracks via Shall Not Fade. They originally flew under my radar, but since discovering his music I just can’t get enough.

If there’s ever a perfect bomb to drop at the club, it’s Skin on Skin & X CLUB.’s  ‘Don’t Fuck Around’ from their recent ‘Everything Comes True’ EP. From the bassline to the mean vocals, this track is such a heater every time it gets played.” - @samalfred567

KETTAMA - BBC RADIO 1 ESSENTIAL MIX 2022

Bringing you the 25th edition of our Lost Sundays Sessions is Eora-based DJ and producer, Shake Daddy 👻

Making a splash with her debut EP, 'Roots', 2022 has seen Shake Daddy break out on a steep upward trajectory. She's released on Supermerado Records, STÜM's Happy Wax and scored the coveted Eora support slots for Skin on Skin and KETTAMA. In her mix, you'll find tracks from the likes of Sam Alfred, Human Movement, STÜM and Ms. Daddy herself - strap in, Shake Daddy's shaking things up 🌪

In her own words:

"All of the artists featured in my mix are Australian except for Kettama and Mark Blair. The Aussie artists include STÜM, Sam Alfred, 6 SENSE, Human Movement, TIGE, Bryson Hill, Jerb, Lucas Boston, Kye, and myself. Australian artists are killing it! And I'm so proud to be amongst them.

Speaking of which, an artist I recently discovered (and then met) is Jerb. He sent me a few unreleased tracks and they are all fire! I can't wait to see what he comes out with next. Keep an ear out for his track 'To The House Beat' - I think he's about to blow up.

At the moment I'm also excited by Human Movement's recent EP, 'Bad Habits'. It slaps from start to finish. His music inspires me to produce, and only good music does that for me.

As far as a track that I'm keen to play at Lost Sundays, it's got to be my recent remix of  'Bossin'' by Australian R&B artist, Kye. I think it's the perfect mixture of soft girl house music delivered with a filthy bassline to make you headbang on the dance floor. It's a tune I think everyone can vibe to!" - @shake-shake-shake-1
