What up Idle Cellars fam? We’re back with another stellar new mix for your spring-into-summer fun, so pop a tasty bottle and get horizontal! Once again we’re proud to give you a mix from some of the world’s best selectors and this month showcases another favorite - it’s Brooklyn’s JKriv! We met Jason while he was holding down basslines for incredible acoustic House band Tortured Soul, which he followed swiftly by a stint in NYC disco-obsessed group Escort (amazing!), then linking up with Aaron Dae to create the influential Razor-N-Tape label empire! Since then the man has been living the disco dream, traveling the world playing tunes, making some fantastic music (check out his groovy and soothing Within EP) and opening the RNT record shop in addition to being a wonderful human being. 

He’s hooked us up with a poolside killer that has us dreaming of hot, hazy afternoons treading water, mornings when there’s nothing to do but soak in some rays, & nights of wine & torchlit patios. We hope you enjoy as much as we do!

JKriv - Summer Daze

Pfingstiphos 9.6. - 10 AM - 2 PM

Paris-based producer KX9000 (Kerim Ben Mustapha) crafts a vibrant fusion of electro-funk, space disco, jazz, and house. With roots in jazz-funk bands and a background in sound engineering, he brings a DIY, hands-on ethos to his music. His EPs on labels like Pont Neuf Records, LW Recordings or Apparel Music showcase a playful yet meticulous style - where vintage synths, live instruments, and city-pop textures meet club-ready grooves. Collaborations with Nic Hanson, Corsica One, and others enrich his soulful, eclectic sound. A staple of Paris clubs and European festivals, KX9000 draws inspiration from icons like Dexter Wansel and blends spontaneous jamming with refined production. His latest work, Dream Log, evokes both movement and introspection - perfect for late-night drives or packed dancefloors. A true “alchemist” of the modern French electronic scene.

KX9000 - SOULMEEX DECKS 154

Norwegian band Lakeshouse are back with a second taster of future disco from their forthcoming album. 

Renate's Dans is a leftfield wobbler with elements of Italo, techno, house, classical and pop for a slice of dance floor dynamite. An elastic arpeggiated bass, popping 303, descending synths and strings, plus a large dose of Norwegian wonkiness over impeccable production make this a fresh take on modern disco.

Crazy P's Hot Toddy brings the heat with a heads down, deep peak time banger that strips back the bass, adds bubbling arps, jacking drums and a dynamic use of the chord progression to take it onto the main floor.

Underground Norwegian hero Martin Horntveth aka Gouldian Finch, best known for Jaga Jazzist goes on a trip to outer space. Free jazz, techno and ambient are all cooked up into a stew of electronic psychedelia unlike anything else.

Party people we bring 2011 to a close with 2 great sets from our guests Max and Richard!


Tokyo resident and Jansen Jarden honcho Max Essa has been making music since the early 90's, he has produced tracks and remixes for labels like Paper, D-Vision, Bear funk, Nang and Tirk... His own solo work, Midnight Garden and Continental Drift feature not only his production work but his elegant guitar playing. (as does his remix of Apollo Heights!) Back to the Beach released from Continental Drift was a huge record and is emblematic of Max's cosmic and crisp production style. In addition to his playing and producing Max is also a serious DJ as his guest set here shows.

Mix of the Week #599: the Beat Broker - Extended Summer

Paper has been pushing all things deep house and disco from the furthest reaches of the world via the good old North of England since the early Nineties.

The label has already featured a new series of EP's showcasing the best new dance music and future funk, house and disco from the world's finest producers.

We kicked off in 1994, leading the upsurge in popularity of UK house music within an underground scene previously dominated by a soundtrack from US cities like Chicago, Detroit and New York. Enhanced by a strong visual identity, as well as impeccable musical quality control PAPER was, and is one of the world’s most treasured record companies.

It continues to be funk-fuelled and bottom heavy!
