what? he says n word here :O sufjan stevens never said nigga

If you haven't heard of Nikki Nair at this point, we'd invite you to come out from under that rock you're living in. But jokes aside, the last 12 months have been the Atlanta producer's year. He's toured seemingly endlessly, has found his way into a number of local scenes and has put out records for labels like Dirtybird, Lobster Theremin and Scuffed Recordings. If that weren't enough, he's also been putting out an illuminating series of monthly singles on his Bandcamp that show off both his restless muse and his seeming ability to both perfect and put his own stamp on any sub-genre or style he tries.

People usually use some form of the word "bass" to describe Nikki Nair, because of the way his music flits between dubstep, drum & bass, electro and more. One moment he's making staggering hip-hop instrumentals that would have fit right into the old LA beat scene, the next minute he's making pneumatic techno or uptempo stuff that would fit right in one Juke Bounce Werk. 

His voracious appetite for new sounds comes across on his RA Podcast, which is a sprawling two-hours-plus of genre hopping and careful mixing, hopping from mood to mood like a 2-D video game platformer. It starts off perhaps a little slower than you'd expect, but weaves through countless Nikki Nair tracks, older selections from Wolfgang Voigt and Drexciya and mind-melting club tracks from newer producers including DJ ADHD, Despina, Limewax and more. If you want to know what the hippest, most inventive dance music sounds like, bridging continents and oceans, this mix is it.

Hessle Audio feat. Ben UFO - 01 April 2024

The weather is warming up and the sun is coming out of its hiding place (in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway). This mix is a pitch-perfect way to kick off the season of park hangs, sunset beverages and daytime festivals. In addition to being a killer DJ and producer, Manchester-based DJ BFTT runs the YCO label—home of bonkers bass and leftfield club music—and has become a key force in the world of cutting-edge UK dance music, particularly in the North. This mix, which flits between house, broken techno and experimental club music, gives a good idea why: it's both classic and out-there, eclectic and approachable, spanning dance music eras from the '90s to the '00s to now.

"The idea was to do something really peak time club focussed," he says. "I think with previous mixes I've tried to do too many things in the space of 1 hour so wanted to hone in on one (or three?) ideas with this one. I've also tried not to care too much about playing new bits—there's some real all time personal faves in this mix! Classics are classic for a reason is alls I'll say!
