Tracklist + Q&A: https://mixmag.net/feature/the-mix-087-blumitsu-bluetoof-jossy-mitsu-dj-interview

Since joining forces, @bluetooof and @jossymitsu have expanded their creativity with science fiction-informed worldbuilding and exploration of fresh sonic territory. They share a peak-time mix and speak about expanding the @blumitsu universe.

"The mix represents our sound through a combination of our own tracks, music from our extended BLUMITSU family and producers from around the world that we support.

It gradually gets more intense sonically as the mix progresses, and you can find forthcoming tracks inside as well as some of our recent releases. This mix is where we’re at currently as BLUMITSU and what we'd play in the club at peak-time with our signature vocal tools echoing throughout the hour."

The Mix 087: BLUMITSU

Pre-order: https://osmura.bandcamp.com/album/transient-glow

London label @osmura's latest compilation, 'Transient Glow', traces a full narrative arc through bass, dubstep, and techno, unfolding like a journey from shadow into light.

@gillielove's 'Auradub' dives into weightless dub space: drifting pads, pressure-shift echoes, and their off-grid percussion guide the pulse. A compact drift into deeper frequencies.

Detroit’s @djbone closes out the year on his FURTHER label with ‘The Soapbox’ EP, featuring the cruising house cut ‘Mind’s Eye’, building tension through hushed vocal chops and suspenseful string melody.

“This isn’t about hype or nostalgia, it’s about truth," says DJ Bone. "About standing tall when everyone else bends. 'The Soapbox' is for those who still feel the music, who build, who give, and who never stop going further.”

Premiere: DJ Bone 'Mind’s Eye'
