Jonnie Wilkes, signed here as J.G. Wilkes of Optimo fame, is driving eclecticism to new frontiers for your ears only. Belfast-made and Glasgow-situated artist/DJ keeps us entertained on the shores of Leftfield, House, and Wave in his two-hour ride for LAYERcatalogue.

We hear a monument to a curiosity that naturally fits with studying Fine Art like Jonnie did. He put his art career aside to pursue music full-time with occasional visits to the world of galleries.

LAYER358 is that testimony of impeccable taste and a great sense of dance floor dynamics.

The Special Mix 04 - RodMan

Introspective mind realignment from the deepest depths, Mike Buhl engages the senses with poise and purpose, lifting the spirit while carefully dialling up the pressure over two-plus hours of tension filled hypnotic techno and soaring interplanetary rhythms.

Q. What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. My inspiration was driven by the urge to showcase lots of artists who have been on heavy rotation over the years. Somewhat cliche, but it was really important to blend genres and energies that represented every aspect of what I listen to, am inspired by alongside how and when they were experienced. Tracks I’ve loved listening to on my own, while entertaining friends, during lock in record nights and those tracks designed to be shared in public spaces and events. 
 
Finding a cohesive path through those different styles, genres and energies was the adventure in this mix. Distilling a sonic mountain of records into something that flowed seamlessly and translated well when listening back in all of those moments felt most authentic. A mix best consumed while moving, sharpening that assignment, at the tail end of a dinner party as the vibe shifts to next gear or while embracing the magic of a lock in with the crew. 

This has translated into snapshots, across a timeline stitched together from records new and old, capturing a weekend drive, early floors through to closed doors, spilling onto the street, the afterhours and beyond. Almost two and a half hours of ambient ear candy, arm chair burners, peak melters and thought provokers that attempt to relive moments and feelings from our past years listening, curating and creating electronic music.

Q. I know you’ve developed a close kinship with some modern pillars of the dub techno scene, mastering and editing .VRIL’s 2025 Edit of his classic tune ‘UV’ and being tasked with closing out his recent Melbourne show. Tell us how that connection came about, and what other studio projects have you got bubbling away that you’re excited to share?

A. I first reached out to .Vril ahead of a past tour to Australia. His music resonated with me so much that I wanted to meet him for a coffee. Since then, we’ve hung out a few times, shared music, and bounced some tracks off each other. It was an absolute highlight, when he asked to be a part of reshaping ‘UV’ and he's kindly returned serve with a remix for my follow up EP, 'Modern Explorer II' on local imprint Denude. We’ve had some very early conversations around a collaboration next time he’s out here and I would really like to continue pushing creativity here.

In the background, I've been spending a good amount of time in my studio. Focusing on creating for myself and helping others. Improving my abilities as a mix engineer has been a big focus and I’ve been fortunate enough to work on a number projects with artists locally and abroad. Whether that be mixing, providing creative direction, arrangement work or mastering. I really love working with others and often find it more enjoyable than working alone. In saying that, I’m building a volume of new music that needs an outlet and will focus on that over the next few months.

Mount Joy w/ Qnete 03.07.25

This year the Sputnik stage hosts a start-to-finish takeover by the rascals at The Gun – formerly the dirtiest discopub in East London until its tragic closure in March this year: rest in sleaze! To honour its unholy spirit we decided to reach out to pub landlord and flame-keeper Nick Stephens to invite the Gun Club first team down to FM. Not only did they say yes, they fielded Vladimir Ivkovic and Lena Willikens, Tia Cousins, Daisy Moon and – it must be said – an undersung hero of London clubland: bloghouse original and techno survivor Casper Clark.

Nick and Casper will cut the ribbon on Sputnik with a two-hour B2B, which might sound a tiny bit like this warm-up session recorded on the first day of 2025. “Nick and I had the honour of opening up The Gun’s last and final New Year’s Day festivities,” recalls Casper, “before Dan Avery, Lukas Wigflex, Tia Cousins and Nathan Wilkins. Some lineup, that!

“In truth we were confronted by a biblical downpour and the slowest of starts, but if anything that emboldened us to dig a little deeper and play even more eclectically that we’d normally be inclined.” Ah, the E-word. A lot of DJs claim to be eclectic, don’t they? Usually playing a heady mix of techno, house, tech-house and everything in between. Not so with these two, as demonstrated on their finely crafted yet freeform, almost supernaturally guided mix, which wanders like a ghost from underwater dub through to ‘80s minimal wave, Muslimgauze and misty Balearica, before setting us afloat on gentle waves of drug-chug. No requests, please!
