No Way Back, let me set the scene. It’s 6AM and 66 degrees. The dance floor is packed, it's sweaty inside, and it’s about to storm outside again. Derek Plaslaiko is taking over the decks from BMG, getting ready to take the crowd on a journey through his mind — the mind of a rock & roller that’s itching to take the party to the next level. It’s No Way Back on May 26, 2024, Day 2 of Return to the Source at Tangent, in Detroit. Witness the pure insanity as Derek indulges the crowd with a no holds barred onslaught of pure party jams. This is what we experienced.

Sleep D are a pair of Australian producers and DJ’s who also run the prolific record label Butter Sessions which has become a home to an array of artists including the likes of Jennifer Loveless, Hybrid Man, Ewan Jansen and more.

The label is rooted in underground club music and has been in operation for over ten years and has remained a consistent presence.

The pair themselves make music which sits somewhat between genres drawing upon elements of early trance, acid, downtempo, house and techno. It’s always raw and rugged, at times progressive in places but definitely rooted in clubland.

This mix is a stellar representation of the pairs musical outlook which is broad and fierce. It goes very deep and as such the length reflects the diversity and strength of narrative in the style of sets they tend to perform and play.

This one is a tour de force.
