A sequel to my 2020 Ghost Detection Mix for Select Sounds Nottingham https://www.mixcloud.com/SelecttSounds/ghost-detection-mix-by-ben-graves/

Missing Detection Mix

"When I started putting together the tracklist for this mix, I think I knew I wanted to create a mix that could showcase what I could do when given a more peak-time slot and a club ready with dancers wanting to get loose. It’s filled with some of my favourite club tracks whilst going through the motions in terms of genre, style, energy. Lots of rolling techno, euphoric breakdowns and tracks I’ve not generally had the chance to play out in a club scenario yet. It’s a long one at 2 hours, but I hope people enjoy it enough to stay till the end. It finishes on one of my favourite tracks Tys - Astral that sums up my style of DJing to an extent - feel good nostalgia."

For the extended Q&A please visit our website ----> pipipi.life <--------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside?

I’m Gareth. Pronouns he/him/his. I live in New York.

Describe in detail your favorite place to sit & listen to music.

The bleachers at the back of the dance floor at Nowadays.

When you are in the crowd… where do you like to stand and why?

I’m quite tall and don’t like feeling as though I'm in the way so I prefer to stand at the back or off to the side.

What color would you pick to represent the way you DJ?

Infrared.

Best gig of your life so far?

Bossa on a Wednesday night in October last year. It was my first time back there since it reopened after the flooding. I shared the bill with three people I love and admire and got to do it up in a space that has been very important to me down the years. Vibes were premium that night!

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

There are a few things…

I’d like to see more recognition of DIY dance music / club culture as legitimate culture across all levels of government in the US and support systems put in place to uplift it that are equivalent to those enjoyed by more traditional sectors of the arts. It’s starting to happen but there’s still a long way to go.

I’d like to see the development of more minority owned and operated spaces. (If there happens to be any POC/femmes reading this that want to know how to make nightlife spaces work, I’m very down to share what I’ve learned over the years about how things function.)

I’d like to see less emphasis placed on what gets posted to social media networks and more on making sick art and actual culture happen in the real world.

And I’d like to see less chatting and more dancing inside the speakers.

DJ G - 100˚

Recorded in August 2023, one of two mixes that reflect the kind of music I enjoyed this year, this one on the more playful bassy side. 

My highlight is the penultimate tune, Inmanium by Guber, who's many releases I've enjoyed this year

The Sound Of: Butter Sessions, mixed by Sleep D

Rounding out the year with two and a half hours of perfectly weighted dream grooves, tech savvy-transcendence and heavenly vintage house music from a beacon of the deep dancefloor, Hannah D!

Q. Hey Hannah, what inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time/place in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. Hey Myles! Thank you so much for having me on, I’m over the moon to be a part of the series. This mix is a bit of an ode to my favourite time and place to DJ — sunset at a festival or doof in the bush. When the day turns to night is such a special time, especially in these settings, and I really wanted to try and emulate that feeling — starting out soft and building into something a bit euphoric.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart, or new or old favourites that you’ve been keeping up your sleeve for the right moment?

A. Yes actually! One that comes to mind is Dario - Sweet Love (Evolution Mix). I found it a few years ago and was obsessed with it but the record was so expensive on Discogs (currently $200!) and I couldn’t find it anywhere else so I kinda gave up on it. When you asked me to do this mix I decided to have another look for it and ended up being able to trade someone for a rip of the vinyl. So happy to finally play it!! Another special one is Kalle-M - This Place. My partner David actually found this and sent it to me a while ago and I love it so much, so shout out to Dave for that one :) and a final special mention for Blue Noise - Coldflow which is close to the end. It gives me goosebumps every time, so intensely emotional and I would be crying if I heard this on a dancefloor!

Q. I know you’ve had quite the busy year on the events front, hosting a number of different parties with great local and international DJs as part of the Luna Blessings and Send/Return collectives. What were some of your favourite moments from the year that was, and what projects are you looking forward to working on in 2024?

A. Thank you! It’s been a crazy year looking back and I’m so grateful to be a part of so many special parties. A moment that stands out was the Waxo Paradiso x Hope Street Radio party the other week, the vibes were so perfect all day. This year I’ve actually played quite a lot of b2b sets which has been so fun, and I’ve had the chance to play interstate a couple of times and in Europe which was amazing :) We’ve got a super stacked year ahead with both Luna Blessings and Send/Return which I can’t wait for! We’re hosting one of my favourite artists ever for Luna in January which we’ll announce very soon. I’m looking forward to more of all of the above in 2024!

For the 10th episode of the Audio Series, we're delighted to welcome British mastermind, @syzuk !

Expert in complex and often off-kilter rhythms, he's concocted a groovy and explosive set just the way we like them, somewhere between percussive techno and house music with a distinctive grimey signature.

"For this mix, I wanted to showcase some nice pacey groovers intended to make you move! Weaving and leaning between percussive techno and house music, with the usual sprinkling of grimey/subby goodness. Later in the mix, I took an unexpected turn and meandered into the 150bpm territory (somewhere I rarely go), for a flurry of bass heavy rattlers to send you on your merry way."

Audio Series 10 | Syz

100% Radio Hits is the sound of the radio station that plays 24/7 inside my brain.

It's about pushing my fascination for blends and superimposition one step further, and finding parallels between the music of now and the music of yesterday.

It's a love letter to the bootleg days, the Hollertronix days, the Radio Soulwax days, the DJ Spinbad days.

It's the feeling of listening to Radio Nostalgie in an Uber at night combined with the feeling of listening to Rinse FM on a Sunday in 2010.
