Honored to have Biko Vledder @sint-bikolaas setting off the Self Help mix series with 80 minutes of South African house and kwaito deep cuts to coincide with our first release Classic Club Culture. Five tracks of SA house & downtempo produced by the prolific Quentin Foster (Vision, Yeah Bo!, Citi Express).
Available for preorder here:

Here's what Biko had to say about the mix
"When Matt asked me to record a mix to accompany the reissue of tracks by Quentin Foster on his new label Sound Bath Records I felt excited and delighted. It’s really cool that these forgotten tunes by Quentin get a new life and more people are going to hear his work. When I started to select tunes for this mix the first tunes I chose were two tracks from different project produced by Quentin. From there I tried to build the rest of my mix around these cornerstones with other South African 90’s dance cuts."

Last in our Selectors series was London-based DJ Frederika, coming to you live from our studios in Ibiza. A resident at Lost Village Festival, brilliant corners, and The Tent (at The End of The Universe), Frederika also hosts a monthly show, Heavy Syrup, on The Boat Pod and frequently appears on NTS. Her sound blends hypnotic, percussion-heavy music with touches of jazz, dub, electro, and acid house, all with a psychedelic edge.

Frank Salassi - Dopamine (Original Mix) [KAELANA]

Embark on the Coast Oscura, the stunning debut album from Objects of Affection Collection. This record is a sophisticated, intoxicating journey across the Mediterranean, defining a new frontier in global electronic music: Tribal Noir.

Fusing the driving, hypnotic rhythms of Dark Afro House with the opulence of the Balearic sound, this album is a masterclass in sonic layering. It trades typical synths for genuine, cinematic instrumental drama. You will find yourself immersed in deep-cut tracks driven by a heavy, undeniable bassline, where the passion of the Spanish Guitar meets the melancholic grandeur of Arabic Strings and Horns.

This is a sound built for massive moments—from sunset rituals on the White Isle to the deep pulse of a Moroccan labyrinth. Tracks like "Caravan to Casablanca" and "The Sultan's Tempo" establish the album's core identity: expensive, spiritual, and utterly irresistible.

Coast Oscura is more than an album; it is an exotic invitation to dance Entre Dos Mundos (Between Two Worlds)

Space Food - Who's Gonna Cross (Original Mix)

Last month, Andy Votel put out his Midlife Crisis Disco Mixtape on limited cassette and it sold out in minutes. However, the English producer, designer and DJ has very kindly given us the exclusive honour of releasing the mixtape digitally, for the very first time, through our podcast series. He is, of course the man behind reissue label Finders Keepers as well as Twisted Nerve, and has released a wealth of music under various pseudonyms on labels like XL. He is someone who is utterly free from categorisation having mixed jazz and hip hop at The Hacienda, documented the history of Welsh protest music on BBC Radio 4, collaborated with Demdike Stare, Suzanne Ciani and Gruff Rhys, and produced for Badly Drawn Boy amongst a lifetime of other dizzyingly diverse projects such as presenting radio shows for Gilles Peterson and NTS.

As the title suggests, his latest mixtape is focussed on outsider disco, and is made from original vinyl pressings only. Like the tens of others he has done over the years, it’s a masterclass jam packed with heat, propped up by funky drums and run through with boogie baselines or soaring strings. The tape brims with squelchy synthesiser colour and features vocals in a range of languages that lend it a worldwide feel and global appeal. It’s one for the ages, that’s for sure.
