X-Press 2 have been at the vanguard of British electronic music for three decades now. In that time this acclaimed DJ and production duo, alongside Ashley Beedle, have turned out many hits. The London duo share the same sense of musical discovery that first united them on the dance floors of Shoom and Spectrum and the Balearic playground of Ibiza way back when. Now they find themselves in the thick of the SB mix series. 

“We’d describe the mix as ‘Moving forwards with a nod to our roots’. As always with X-Press 2 the idea was to try and include music that’s new and exciting to us, played alongside some of our productions as well as dipping back into the past and adding some inspirational flavours to the pot. We like to spend some time thinking about the programming of a mix, working out some sort of flow so that the finished blend makes sense.”

Contagious! Diggin' Through Contemporary Funk - Femdelic - 01 Feb 2024

It's been three months since I released the limited cassette version of this and so I wanted to share the full version now that the cassettes are mostly sold out (a few still remain - http://djianhead.bandcamp.com) - hope folks dig it. The full story is on the Bandcamp page but I made this breaks mix to submit to Wax Poetics, who rejected it so I figured I'd put it out myself as a fundraiser for Palestine and abolitionist organizations in the U.S. Over $500 was raised in support! Thanks to everyone who supported then and now. And thanks to the legends whose voices appear on this mix. - DJ Ian Head

Dust Down Records is a South London label run by two brothers Duvet Dave & Joeginho, who dig & play a broad church of sounds – whether it’s boogie, disco, balearic, funk & Italo, or Brazilian, African & tropical rhythms, to more dance-oriented rhythms encompassing the many spectrums of house & beyond. 

This mix from elder brother Duvet Dave is made to move, reaching back & looking forwards across producers, artists & labels he’s been digging, from 90s UK & Italo house, US new & old school flavours and deeper, intricate more recent things he’s loving. Indulge!

Australian artist Gratts wrote 'Sun Circles' as an empowerment anthem for his two sons and it dropped to plenty of acclaim last year. In its wake, Gratts DJed with Adelaide's multi-talented Alexander Flood on percussion and after some conversations he was enlisted to bring his jazz background to a remix of the original. He did so live as part of a quintet and the result is a super summery, airy rework with soulful vocals that linger long in the air. Michigan-based techno and ambient maestro John Beltran appears on the flip to bring a classy Balearic remix that will have you dreaming of longer, warmer nights and plenty of sun-kissed dancing fun

Next month I turn 43. Not sure am I too old for a promo mixtape =) Most definetely I don't have strength and energy for clubbing and raving, so if you want to book me please consider that and book me for a gig between 8PM and 01AM =)
Last couple of years I felt in love with soulful disco, mostly because of discovering Red Greg and his approach to the music, big thanx for the influence and opening whole new world for me <3 Of course there are other people on this journey, thank you all for all the lessons, fun and companionship. 
Love is blind, there is not enough time for everything, sorry Jazz my friend for neglecting you.

AfroPraz's Psalms shatters the stained-glass ceiling. It's an ancient text, wired for the now. The soul-stirring depth of the psalms is remixed and reborn, flowing over modern, electrifying soundscapes and contemporary beats. This is a sonic revival. Listen up. Be moved. Be inspired.

Psalms - Volume One
