Lebrosk & Friends Podcast #11 (Guestmix by Smoove) - Life Support Machine

Although I have had the extreme good fortune to play Electric Forest in every year of its existence, I have rarely played anywhere but Silent Disco. In 2015 I got an invite to come over to the next stage over, Ian Xavier's gorgeous frontier fort of a stage experience known as THE GRAND ARTIQUE. Since an invite to play on a live stage at Forest wasn't something I take for granted I spent weeks devising the perfect set to fit the rustic, farmhouse decor and technobilly vibe of the staff.

With blues, bluegrass, rock & country rolled up into breaks, disco & midtempo, I think you will find this set of Organic Beats to be a tasty treat,

Throwback Thursday! #8 in our calendar sees me rewinding to over ten years ago. I think this is probably the third mixtape i ever made. It was the era of myspace and  i had it on my page for people to download and listen to. No Soundcloud then folks! I used a little site called mix.dj.

Back then I was only able to do about 4 demos a year due to the price of buying records. It got a lot of praise from my piers so I decided to send it into iDJ (now no longer in publication) for their Raw Talent Competition and it got featured! With so much encouragement I graduated from the bedroom to the club and got my first gig - as they say ... the rest is history!

Both Fifties and myself are huge fans of the producer and label owner behind today's first piece of music on advent day #23 and that man is, Alan Cross. As well as running the always amazing, Census Sound Recordings, you can also find him producing music of his own and chipping in with the odd remix on Census releases. Whether it's House or Breaks, Alan's sound has a real techy vibe about it which gives it a fuzzy, warm and mind opening feel. All that can be found in his exclusive tune for us 'Babylon On Fire', which is a truly breathtaking piece of Breakbeat and one we're sure will leave you opened mouthed and in awe of what you've just heard. Brilliant stuff!

Dropping in with part 2 of advent day #23 is a couple of ladies that have lit up my mind on numerous occasions this year with the music they've been making, Black Girl / White Girl. Whether they're ramping up the energy levels with their Tech House sound, or twisting peoples minds with some Techno, these two ladies always deliver the goods and do so at a high rate with 'quality' stamped all over everything they do. 

As well as making incredible music, they both know how to rock a crowd and how to assemble a mix to get the blood pumping! Their exclusive mix they've done for us features all that high energy Tech House goodness you need to make your Christmas party one to remember. Shapes are being thrown here at LSM HQ to this superb mix and we highly recommend you do the same, because it feels so damn good!

Download Utah Saints exclusive mix here : hearthis.at/lifesupportmachine/utah-lsg-advent-mix/

If you followed last years LSM advent calendar, you'll know that we invited along the Breakbeat legends, Drumattic Twins, to brings us the beats to finish off our 25 days in style. For 2016, we thought we'd carry on with the legends theme and invite a couple of guys who I saw absolute smash it at this years Green Meadows Festival, to once again round off what has been another very enjoyable 25 days of music, these guys are, Utah Saints.

Tim and Jez have been there and pretty much done the lot. They've had a handful of top 10 releases, played around the world and they've supported some of the very biggest artists on the planet. We're super pleased they accepted our advent invitation and they've put together on hell of a party piece that features 12 of their very favourite tracks from 2016. If this mix wasn't already enough to liven up your Christmas day evening, we can spread further good news and announce that Utah Saints are heading back into the studio in 2017 and are planning on releasing a new batch of floor filling bangers of their own.

We hope you enjoy this mix and hope you've enjoyed all the music we've brought you over the last 25 days. From all at LSM, we'd like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.

Advent Day 2016 #25 - Utah Saints - 12 Months / 12 Bangers of 2016 - Christmas Day Mix

The Beat-Pimp has provided us all with a bevvy of filthy bass-driven mixes in his ongoing Pimpology series with Funky Breaks, Glitch Hop and Drum n Bass being fired out in all directions. With his latest mix for us though, he has reigned in the ever-present onslaught of bass to provide us with 90-minutes of good vibes and cool grooves in his New Funk mix. A good dose of Funk, a bit of Disco and a tiny smidge of filth means that if garden party plans are being hatched, this will be the perfect mix to entertain anyone that might be popping along.
