In for our 5th Meld Mix we have our long-term pal; the Tech-House and foraging extraordinaire - Jake Hodgkinson. 

Jake co-runs Real Deal Records alongside top lad Marlon Clark. He's managed to keep us entertained for many an hour over the years with a stack of tunes as endless as his enthusiasm. 

Thanks for the mix lad!

MELD MIX 05 - Jake Hodgkinson (Real Deal Records)

item.cast 025: Marlon Clark

Real Deal Records co-founder Jake Hodgkinson is an old hand when it comes to rocking parties. From Half Baked, The Lion and Lamb, Art of Dark, and North South parties Jake has delivered a master class in his unique brand of acidic wonky tech house but it doesn’t stop there. Bass heavy, glitched out beats snake in between more upfront house bombs to create a swaggering sound profile that is made for one reason and one reason only – to blow up a dancefloor. 

It goes without saying that his Real Deal Records imprint has featured several times and the posthumous release of Andy Panayi’s was a snapshot of their stance on the greats. Unearthing gems and breaking new bangers is what Jake does and his mix for our podcast series is testament to this. If you are needing some attitude injected into your day then you are going to love this mix…

NSP001 - Jake Hodgkinson

Story time folks and a true one at that...

After an Albion showcase in Leicester we once kidnapped Jake from Leicester and put him in the boot of a taxi all the way to Leeds and took him hostage for the weekend the rest is history. A strong bound was formed in a West Yorkshire  kitchen that simply couldn't be broken.

3 Days later we are on the hunt for records in charity shops, sleep was out of the question and rules we're not set but on that day we talked about a Podcast for the series and it's taken until now for him to deliver... this is 4 years in the making and it's been worth the wait!

Turn it up baby we be having a PARTY!

OTGCAST003 - Marlon Clark

Joining the series at 007 we are delighted to welcome Jake Hodgkinson. The real deal records boss and frequent acquaintance of good friends NorthSouth delivers an hour of rolling groove. There is a heavy focus on intricate drum patterns and acidic stabs and synths, something noteable in many of the UK selectors sets.
