"We hadn’t really seen each other in a while so we got together and caught up over some of the music that’s stuck with us through the thick and the thin over the years. A bunch of boogie, lots of last songs, some sloppy mixing and a plenty of Vera. Classic PSS!" - @pender-street-steppers

Born in New Zealand, the duo of kiwis composed of Sean Whittaker and Louis Anderson-Rich is now based in London. Having formed a bond and desire to produce after attending drum & bass parties in the early 10's, the pair flipped onto the sounds of disco, house and the rising tide of the Melbourne scene across the ditch. Their first single 'Next Dance' for A Label Called Success was well received and led to a relocation to London in 2016. Shortly after they were introduced to Seb Wildblood through a mutual friend which resulted in their debut 'Dippin & Trippin' EP with Coastal Haze - a simple house record founded in easygoing vibes and deep grooves. 

A few months later and the duo had their sophomore release on London upstarts Childplay. Digging about in their harddrives uncovered a boogie and house EP full of sun-soaked jams heavily influenced by PPU's funk-laced output. Title track 'Birds Of Paradiso' eventually piqued the interest of Jungle who included the track on their 'Back To Mine' compilation. 

Then, despite a fateful festival meeting with Aussie icon CC:DISCO that spawned the track 'Dream Sequence' for her First Light compilation, the duo went quiet for two-and-a-half years. But having copped a Korg M1 and developed a taste for Italo house in that period, Manuel Darquart linked up with Dutch label Infinite Pleasure to release the four-tracker 'Adriatic' EP.

Last year, they also made their debut on Wolf Music and are now back with a 10' featuring a couple of nice reworks of the track 'Keep It Dxy' by italian legend Don Carlos and Manny D !

Just got word that they've finally managed to clear the smell from the Balamii studio after I've stunk up the place with some truly awful mixes yesterday. One of those nights but it's all in the game baby. Music from Arthur Adams, Moodymann, Prince, Paul Johnson, Pepe Braddock, Steve Silk Hurley & plenty more.

WOLF Music Balamii Radio Oct 21 - Holsten FM

DJ Possum and Myles Mac return with a three hour trip full of saxy summer time slow jams, deep balearic burners, soulful UK garage and loungin' 90s house & hip hop. Mellow to its core, this one invites you to hit recline and see where the vibe might take you. One for the boom bappers and the chill steppers!

A little bit about the mix..

@djpossums:

Collaborating with Myles is fun because it's where we find a point of intersection with our djing styles and music tastes. I'm an unpinned DJ in terms of genre but together we find cohesiveness to tell a story that is reminiscent of our upbringings and nostalgic memories; UK Underground street soul, 90s Hip Hop, funny South African Kwaito tunes that we sing along to even though we don't know the language, soulful electronic love songs, early house classics and many more..

Some pretty banging songs that are precious to me from the message in the lyrics, the feeling they create, the fun vibes or just their awesome production are: Can't Stop (One World 12'' Mix) by After 7, U.N.I.T.Y. by Queen Latifah, Scratched by Etienne de Crecy and the Brazilian balearic classic Tudo Faz Sentido by Taciana to name a few.

@myles-mac:

One of the few upsides of extended periods at home this year thanks to all the lockdowns has been the time to trawl through old Ibiza chill CDs, youtube channel wormholes and bandcamp compilations to discover classic or relatively unknown 90s downtempo gems that have managed to last the test of time. With this mix, Maria and I put our heads together to tell a story of the past that somehow still sounds fresh to our ears today, trying to squeeze in a bunch of styles from both of our collections while making it all flow and sound somewhat cohesive over three hours and a variety of tempos.

Inspirations for the mix come from all over the map, but there's a definite focus on the link between the UK and Ibiza in the early-mid 90s, with old Dj Alfredo live recordings, José Padilla's Café del Mar compilations, psychedelic mixes from the late great Andrew Weatherall, the absolutely insane discography of UK Street Soul pioneer Toyin Agbetu (the producer behind 2 Tuff, Deluxe, Shades Of Black, Robyn, Mary Pearce and many more), the crisp jazzy productions of downtempo master Paul Hardcastle from Kiss The Sky (a ton of which he's uploaded to bandcamp) and the don of deep &amp; soulful UK Garage Mike Millrain (aka D Base, DJ South Central, Vibes Alive, Stone Cold Steppaz).

A few special mentions go to our friend Dust-e-1 in Montreal for his chillout monster of a remix for Pascale Project, the late Richard H. Kirk aka Sandoz who recently passed but left us with an infinite resource of beautiful electronic dance music, and Alaska's Kwaito classic "Accuse" that will always put a smile on our faces no matter the occasion.

Six hour live recording taken from a sweaty sell out show at Soup Manchester 23.07.22

An early holiday gift for you all. 
Back in July Hidden Spheres and Bradley Zero went back to back for a sell out sweat sesh in Manchester's soup basement. Having played together multiple times before and since, we soon settled in ﻿to the flow of things. Going one for one for six hours! From doors open empty room, to lights﻿ up walls dripping! ﻿Anyone who was there knows it was one for the books. 
And now you can listen back for yourself anytime and relive that night with us... There's even a play of some forthcoming Rhythm Section Hidden Spheres newness in there to boot!

Whilst moving from London to Manchester, and throwing their 4-year anniversary party, our friends, promoters and DJs, @high-hoops , still managed to kindly squeeze out this mix for us. And judging by how fantastic it is, they seem to really thrive under pressure. Strap in and get ready for a great, light-hearted selection, which includes some breakbeat, a bit of Middle Eastern delight and even some cumbia.

This isn’t the first time we’ve joined forces with the duo: you might recall when we featured them in a Manchester-focused story for our journal, in which they talked about clubbing culture and inclusivity — you can dig into that below, or keep scrolling for our latest Q&A. Happy digging.
