Up next is lover of all things minimal - Luke JT.

He's brought us a 100 BPM mix full of groovy basslines, silky synths and soothing sax. An absolute pleasure from start to finish.

Aerial A.K.A Dasha The Reindeer strays away from her usual position as head of Santa's DnB fuelled turbo-sleigh for a ride on the slower side - full of uk-funky inspired beats and heavy sub bass this is mix is all killer no (stocking) filler

Up next is shark tale fanatic and long time spinner of plastic discs - Zak. This mix starts with plenty of bleeps and bloops then finishes with a selection of real classics and a couple of reloads thrown in for good measure. Watch out for him in a club near you soon.

Resident of Not Bad For A Girl, Egg On Toast, is first up in our mix series with a mix full of high energy shellers that sent us scrambling for IDs (I hate myself).

A quote from their website sums them up perfectly as a collective:

Not Bad For A Girl is a home-grown, ethically-sourced collective of women AND NON-BINARY BABES who just want to have fun. Born from a shared love of music/events and hatred of gender inequality, we’re all about equal opportunity, equal pay and equal parts spirit and mixer.

Look out for them and their iconic pink balaclava in the dark rooms and basements of Manchester.

Before I start I wanna tell you a little bit about myself. 

I just wanna say I've always wanted to get into music, when I was at school I went up to the career guidance councillor and I said "I wanna be the person who goes on stage and goes up to the microphones and checks they're working."

So she said to me "Are you sure you want to do that, are you sure you want to?"

And I was like "Yeah I'm sure I want to."

And she was like "Are you suuuurreeeeee you want to do that?"

And I was like "Yeah I want to, one two, one two, testing one two..."

Specially crafted for our first night with Frazer(before he got COVID rip) - a homage to the greatest intro speech ever given.

Our next guest mix comes from Kitsta, a rising star and skilled selector often seen on Dalston Den lineups along with the Off The Cuff crew. 

London based Kitsta has quickly risen through the ranks of USB wielders with her first release "Sixth Base" getting a spin from Dr Dubplate in the worlds most famous toilet and her regular shows on some of London's biggest internet radio stations Rinse, Balamii and AAJA. 

She is also a co-founder of the online platform for underrepresented artists, The Beatriarchy, which advocates for diversity and equality within the underground dance music scene.

This mix gives a taste of what to expect when you see Kitsta take over the wheels of steel - breaks, trance and a little bit of silliness to finish off...

For the third installment of our mix series we have future guest Tom Place.

Tom's productions have been a staple of our sets for the last 6 months, with his unique combination of dubstep influenced breaks and atmospheric electro providing the perfect soundtrack for both festivals and dingy basements alike.

This mix is a perfect showcase of Tom's sound and features his past and future releases from labels like Childsplay, Fly By Night Recordings and Goddezz.

For the fourth installment of our mix series we have Chameleon resident Yuba. A careful curator behind the decks, Yuba creates a precise & concise mix of sounds and genres through purposeful selections. 

With a keen eye for techno but a wide variety of genre in store, Yuba always brings energy and excitement to his work. This mix is a reflection of that wide variety.

OTC 004 - Yuba

For the fifth chapter of our mix series we have Anti-Pattern co-founder and Floorless resident Ingi.

Having released on Scuffed and Fly By Night earlier this year, this mix segues through the good stuff and revs up the gears.

For our first mix of 2023 we have Hannd.

Boss bloke at label Comma Traxx and resident spinner of plastic discs for Bristol based Down To Earth, Hannd has dug deep in his record collection to take you through his signature flavours of minimal house and trance.

With a migration to the big smoke on the horizon catch him in a dingy London basement near you soon.

Bristol based K-65 makes a bid for German citizenship with a mix full of Electro and Jungle Techno. 

His own words "there's a lot of tunes in here played way faster than they should be" say all you need to know.

Pulling up for the 9th mix in the series we have Not Bad For A Girl resident DaiSu, who makes lightwork of this power hour of bleeps and bloops. We're not even sure what half the genres are, we just know they all slap and they have put her first in the fight for a closing set at our next event. 

With Hi-NRG sets for Keep Hush, Red Bull and El Dorado Festival all in the bank, this should give you a great taste of what to expect after Craigie Knowes.

Troubleshoot label boss man coming in hot with a mix chock full of dancefloor-driven sounds from across the electronic music spectrum. After a pounding set at one of our charity events we had to get him in to showcase his label's material.

Make sure to check out his latest release, Cursor, its been a staple of our sets recently and slaps something different.

Next up we have an intergalactic 2-step adventure with the head chef of Special Blends - Maleekaveli. His label and party have been propping up the 2-step scene for the last 3 years with some wild bootlegs and fantastic artwork. Catch him bringing all things bass to all pickle themed clubs near you.

Cue ChatGPT generated song because we're all about missing the hype by 3 months...

Listen up, it's time to introduce the DJ of the century,
The one with the Looney Tunes flow, he's got that animated energy.

He's got Bugs Bunny on the mic, spitting bars like it's his job,
And Tweety Bird dropping beats, making the dancefloor throb.

He's got Marvin the Martian scratching records like a pro,
And Porky Pig hyping up the crowd, yelling "That's all folks, let's go!"

He's got the most special blends in the universe, like a cosmic cartoon caper,
And when he drops that beat, it's like Daffy Duck doing his signature quacker.

So come on and join the fun, don't be a Dodo like Wile E. Coyote,
With this DJ on the decks, the party's never out of sight, and never out of mind-y.

So get ready to jam, let's do this like Bugs Bunny with a carrot,
Because when this DJ is in the house, you know it's gonna be a carrot-astrophic party, that's for sure, let's share it!

A DJ and producer who defines herself by sound over genre, Alien Izz’s sets explore an eclectic mix of UK underground sounds from acid, breaks, trance and electro to the more leftfield and wonky fringes of techno, bass and beyond. She’s recently supported the likes of X Club, Nite Fleit, Emerald, Dr Banana and Hessle Audio’s Pangaea and appeared on festival lineups for Gottwood and Outlook Origins. 

This year, in addition to joining the Sisu Crew roster, Alien Izz is set to return to Gottwood with Rum Riddimz Run and makes her debut at Hideout Festival, Croatia, whilst her debut EP is set for release later this summer.

Hope Works & No Bounds Residents Skari & Zeki take the reins for our next mix. In a tale as old as time we met them at 4am in the Carpet Shop smoking area and this mix really embodies that spirit.

With percs, breaks and wobbly bass this one is perfect to chuck on at 6am to revive your mates from whatever sofa they're passed out on.

Look forward to more of them in London as they've now made the move down to the big smok. 

Enjoy.

South East London’s Ed dB hops on the decks for our next mix. With a lot of power from start to finish, this is the perfect instalment to resume our mix series after a summer break.

It’s one for getting hyped up in the week, before a big weekend, during a big weekend or even on a Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to seeing more of him on the decks at some point soon…

Organ takes us on a powerful hour long mix of high-energy, high-tempo electro and trance. Having played at our open decks with the Beatriarchy, and having appeared on a guest mix for Kitsta on Voices Radio, we thought it was time to invite her to mix for us. We'll be seeing more of her soon...
