Echo Garden Mix Series

For Viscera 130, Yu Su joins the series with a live recording taken from our party on the 14th December at the one and only Love Inn.

"Kaifeng-born, now London-based Yu Su is a musician, DJ, sound artist and occasional chef. As one of the most prominent Chinese artists with a highly unique voice working across the globe in the last 5 years, her output covers all the ground you’d expect and more. Her multiple critically acclaimed records on UK’s Technicolor (Ninja Tune), Netherlands’s Music from Memory and China’s own Bie Records has seen her nominated for Canada’s Polaris Prize. She has co-produced music with John Carroll Kirby, Duval Timothy and is known for remix works for Parquet Courts, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, and many more. As a DJ, she is unpredictable, idiosyncratic; just “casually having the dance floor transfixed” have put her on the spotlights at clubs and festivals internationally like Dekmantel, Glastonbury, Boiler Room, iii Points, Nuits Sonores, Rainbow Disco Club, Phonox and so on. She has also recently been featured on the cover of Mixmag magazine, marking the first Chinese cover star. She has composed for feature films and fashion brands like Sacai, Jimmy Choo and London/Shanghai based SAMUEL GUÌ YANG."

Enjoy!

A really euphoric feel to this one. Made a while back now and collecting dust so thought we’d drop for the world to hear.

Abstract

1,000% positive vibe house heaters. Inspired by seeing my teenage hero @djsashaofficial play a quality warehouse party this weekend, I threw in some late 90s progressive house tracks that got me into this music 20+ years ago. It’s an energy changeup from the chill previous two installments. Listen to it in the gym, not watering your plants :) 

I set out to make this mix series positive and consistent, which is pretty much the opposite of the environment I find myself in. DC is a strange place to be an optimist, especially now as my civil servant colleagues in government are being laid off left and right with little explanation. 

So what keeps me positive aside from surrounding myself with great music? Well, I had a conversation on Friday with someone I greatly respect who laid out a case for why this country is irreparably f-ed. While there weren’t exactly holes in her argument, I would argue that similar cases could have been made at pretty much any point in history. Yet most would choose to live in this moment over almost any other. 

No one knows the future and we as individuals have limited control over it. But we can choose to believe that a better tomorrow, a better next week, a better next year and a better next generation could possible. We can choose to do what we can to make it so, in our own lives and for others. That’s always seemed like a more attractive approach to me than assuming the worst. 

The moral arc of a great DJ mix is long, but it bends towards justice. 

Thank you for listening to my DJ promotion spam. Peace and love from tranquil Washington DC :)

Echo Garden - March 2025 Mix

Good Block are a familiar duo amongst certain circles. For several years they have been steadily releasing music inspired by the funk and balearic influences of the late eighties and nineties - fusing modern sounds with the sun kissed hedonism of the past. They've been generous with it too. Always keen to share edits and tracks with friends, their music has been the secret weapon of many a DJ.

They are about to release a new album - titled 'Window' the record features a collection of dubbed out downtempo and house music which shows a growth and depth to their sound.

Based in London the pair are also seriously talented selectors - having built a reputation for their eclectic, far reaching sets which move between styles and genre.

This mix is a masterclass in a warm, glowing type of dance music - the sort that makes you long for summer and serenades you into spring.

Echo Garden - April 2025 Mix

Two hours in the center of Tokyo with the best sound I've ever heard, dream line-up including Chida, 5ive and Powder and the perfect crowd that stayed until the very end. If there is ever a 100 out of 100 party, when you don’t have to prove anything behind the decks, but instead, just enjoy the ride, this one came the closest. RA pick, full room, no photo and video, family soundcheck, tons of friends, four channels, and alpha mixer. What else do you need?

Stay tuned for more / reposts are welcome. hugs. no war. G

Echo Garden - June 2025 Guest Mix - Enyah (live)

For this month’s echo garden mix, I laid down a 100bpm progression of ethereal downtempo cuts building up to a string of balearic ballads. Exactly the kind positive, sunny and steady energy I’ve been soaking in the past month leading up to Canyon Vibration this week!

Maurice Schirm – I go somewhere to close my eyes

in a dream

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

To the dedicated few and the newly dedicated, this is a celebration laced with appreciation. The cause for this - we’ve reached a modern-day milestone. We’ve made it to 30 (which is a total of about 3 in podcast years). Honestly, I never thought I'd make it to 30, but I soon came to realise how much good music is out there, and how I should use my powers for good rather evil, so here we are. 

For this momentous occasion, we have a very fitting transmission. Something that he and I have been working towards for the last two years. The man responsible for an audible gift from the gods is none other than Andy Hart himself, aka the slug face millionaire aka choices from the lake aka undies. I call Andy not only a good friend but also a good inspiration, a good breath of fresh country air, a good dose of realism and just a flat out good person. I’ve lived with him, I’ve traveled with him and I’ve shared more than a towel with him. I can comfortably say that Andy will be at my wedding, my funeral and everything in between. 

This mix is the perfect summary of the journey so far. I'd like to think we’ve explored quite a lot over the last couple of years, and I'd also like to think that there’s so much more out there. This perfectly woven galactic tapestry transcends every aspect that you think you know about most things and rewrites the rest. The culmination of many years of putting tracks aside has paid off immensely. The thought and the planning behind this mix actually baffle’s me. It’s the perfect narrative without the narrative, a story without words, a tale of triumph. I may sound a bit dramatic but you obviously haven’t listened to it yet. Just shy of 4 hours, this is the perfect soundtrack to your life in general. It transcends not only stages of the day but also stages of your mind. I'm yet to find the perfect moment/space to listen to it but I think a long drive back from a really good holiday would fit perfectly - or just a cruisey Sunday spring afternoon at home. 

Honestly, just press play and see what happens. 

Come talk to me after. 

Be well.
