An emotional rollercoaster of a mix comes to us this week from Groovy Groovy boss Akanbi, recorded live and direct from the Nowadays booth deep in the summer of 2021, alongside DJ Voices and EQUISS. These were the early days of our reopening and New York's return to nightlife, after a difficult year of closures due to the pandemic. There was a sense of cautious optimism in the air for some, and exuberant joy for others. Akanbi's set on this night met the dancers where they were, merging a tender emotional tenor and uplifting soulfulness with headier rave moments through his unique sense of pacing, all laced in groove and full of surprises. Here's two hours of a DJ fully immersed in their signature style, a set packed to the brim with bubbling percussion and downtempo interludes. 

Big thanks to all the staff and dancers in the house on this night. Until next time!

On Friday 20th of November a Pi x Phormix night took place at Six D.O.G.S. This time our special guest was one of our favourite DJs and producers, Silent Servant (Juan Mendez),  widely-known for his contribution in Sandwell District and his latest imprint, Jealous God. The night was really intense, with Juan performing both a stunning live and delivering a great DJ set. For the sake of your soul we decided to give you the whole recording from his DJ set. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we did!

Sip & Sketch is a monthly event I was going to spin at tonight, and these are some of the records I had packed in my bag. My record collection is in storage because we are getting ready to move in two weeks' time. Here is a continuous improvised set in the hopes of lifting our communal spirit.
