exclusive | Wickham - The Docks | MINDHELMET

Wickham returns to MINDHELMET for the label’s 19th release - a stacked various artist EP featuring ADMNTi, Finny B, Max Stedeford, James Andrew, Tate, and Wickham himself, who previously graced the imprint with a full solo EP. This time, he signs off the record with “The Docks,” a track that captures everything that makes UK minimal so addictive: groove, melody, and pure dancefloor charm.

Driven by sleek drum programming and a teasing vocal loop whispering “I wanna dance with you,” “The Docks” radiates warmth and human touch. Deep chord sequences ripple through the mix, blending with crisp breaks and basslines that glide rather than stomp - it’s elegant and functional, the kind of track that connects the heads and the dancers in equal measure.

There’s something magnetic about Wickham’s approach here - understated yet euphoric, perfectly balancing emotion and movement. “The Docks” is not just another minimal roller; it’s an invitation - one you’ll likely accept without hesitation.

Advent Day 16: Diesel Takeover: Perpetual Present - Parrots & Umbrellas (Original Mix)

Dovetail is Sam Warren who I’m sure lots of the LSM posse know. For those who don’t she has been a constant presence on the breaks and tech funk scene for many years. She’s a particular supporter of women DJs and musicians through her series of podcasts "in the Key of She” , one of whom will appear here on Xmas eve.

The mix is a glorious jump around breaks/tech funk/techie/dubby mash up of everything that is good about the music world at the moment and might make you forget about the last year a bit. Starting from the blistering Alt A remix of Perpetual Present’s One Way it moves into her own track Keep Your Disdance (as I write this No1 in Beatport’s Top10 Break releases) on BreakWind records (no sniggering at the back please). The tracklist flies through a great selection including a whole host of Diesel Recordings releases, surely one of the best and forward thinking breaks labels around at the moment. The mix doesn’t slowdown right to the end and leaves you wanting more.

Tracklist:

Perpetual Present – One Way (Alt-A remix) [Diesel Recordings]
Dovetail – Keep Your Disdance (Original mix) [Break Wind Productions]
Lydia Eisenblatter – Modulate (Original mix) [OAM]
Will Clarke – Let’s Rave (Meg Ward remix) [Trick]
