2022 Q2

On Oct 6th 2021, about 2 years after my last set in London, I played from open to close (11pm to 5am) at Village Underground in Shoreditch. Here's a recording of the whole night with a bit of the crowd noise. 

Perhaps a full tracklist at some point... some unreleased stuff in here. 

Even though it had been a while, we had all night so no use in rushing things! I came across a lot of lovely music this year, but it mostly lived in my rekordbox or in a radio mix. I actually record a lot of my sets but it always feels like they're in a constant state of iteration, making it hard to pick just one "version" to release. Over the years I feel like this has led me to only very sparingly drop live-recorded sets. A "party" doesn't often lend itself to the archivable realm, maybe the memories are best suited to the ephemeral. 

Anyway, eternal gratitude crystals to those who came and those who danced, and to those listening now.

@pablodistill

Our next Musty Mix has landed courtesy of French native, DJ and record collector, Pablo 🥖
 
Co-founding the Distill crew back in 2019, the collective of 4 friends have been organising and running events in both Bordeaux and Paris, providing the biggest names in the game - Nicolas Lutz, Melina Serser, Noizar to name a few.
 
Pablo’s taken a different approach to mixes he’s done previously, exploring styles other than the dance/club genres he’s known for, packed with tracks you’ll probably be hearing for the first time.
 
Big thanks to the man for adding to the series - perfect sound for the summer and we hope you enjoy😊

for this fifth episode, @papangdistill delivers a drum'n'bass set, imbued with warmth and liquid, exhilarating energy︎.
A pure concentration of good vibes and movement, a wave that combines softness and power ⚕︎

I am very honoured to welcome this artist whom I deeply admire, a member of the Distill Crew and master of deep and dark soundscapes... 
Welcome Papang ♡.

before diving in, here are a few words he wanted to share about this mix - " I deep dived in liquid drum n bass earlier this year. What seduced me in this particular esthetic is the duality between the smooth, laid back pads and the frenzy of the drum patterns. These two aspects are giving birth to complex feelings that I find very interesting and matching some life situations that I found myself into this year. Hope you enjoy this story as I do !
Free gaza."
