Multi Multi Mix Vol. 2: James Massiah

Vol. 3 of our Multi Multi mix series comes from Balearic London, a collaborative group consisting of Ariane V, Ben Gomori, DJ Gaucho & Sarahtonin -

"The sounds of the four of us getting loose in Ariane V’s flat on a rosé & Tyskie and Benji The Balearic Cat-fuelled Sunday, from seductive chuggers to peak-time huggers. A good representation of some of the sunny vibes we’ll be bringing to Multi Multi, although we might throw in more curveballs then"

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 3: Balearic London

"Sometimes we plan our mixes down to every last track and there are times where we just press record and jam for an hour - this was one of those. Lots of groovy, techy tracks in here, some from our friends at our home in Australia and some from our favourite international producers. 
Put this on while you down a 4 pack of vodka cruisers in the sun before Multi Multi Festival - or when you're winding down after... we'll see you there <3"

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 4: IN2STELLAR

Holly Lester steps up for Vol. 5 of our mix series. She joins the Semi Delicious crew on the day and has crafted a killer mix that highlights her summer mood right now. 

"We had our first glimpse of summer here in Belfast recently so the summer jams are out in full force here - some groovers at the start to ease u in with some techy pumpers and dreamy sunshine prog business towards the end. Recommended for sunny drives, boozy back yard BBQs and festival pre's :))"

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 5: Holly Lester

Also joining Team Semi Delicious on Saturday 13th July is Estonian duo, Abdul Raeva. A few words on their mix below -

"We're not very good at explaining why we do what we do, the music usually just leads the way so here are 14 multivitamin records that we really love, in the mix. Anyways, looking forward to having a drink and meeting some of you at the Semi Delicious stage on July 13th. Ciao :-)"

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 6: Abdul Raeva

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 7: Ernesto Chahoud

This mix provides a little teaser of what you can anticipate from Baldo, Barcelona's pride and joy, who's joining the Semi Delicious crew in Hackney Wick in just over two weeks! 

The mix kicks off with smooth, mellow house vibes which gradually intensifies before culminating in a climax of euphoric, progressive sounds.

In typical fashion, the mix includes a selection of unreleased tracks, showcasing cutting-edge music that you won't hear anywhere else, in addition to Subwax distro material, and a touch of 90s classics.

Start your weekend right!

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 8: Baldo

Xica Soul whipps up something fun and bumpin’ for summertime vibing. Featuring a few of her long-time faves, and a couple new ones from friends, and some recent discoveries too! Enjoy

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 9: Xica Soul

Hitting double figures on our guest mix series with with the big man Manuel Darquart! Here's an insight into the mix in his own words - "Had a lot of fun recording this one as had been feeling the urge for an uptempo dancefloor focused hour of power after enjoying myself too much at Glastonbury. Lots of mid-90s clobber in this designed to get the feet moving hope you enjoy!"

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 10: Manuel Darquart

Alien Communications provides an hour of warm, emotive electro, recorded live at Subculture - the world’s longest-running weekly electronic music party at Sub Club, Glasgow.

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 11: Alien Communications

This mix is inspired by our latest digs, as well as selections that we've kept over the years that feel timeless to us. We've crafted it in a way that shows how we move through our own sets, with a driving groove that captures a shift from day through to night. You'll find a mix of house, breaks and techno, from artists we love both old and new. We loved putting this together as it's a showcase of what you can expect to see from us over our gigs this summer - we hope you enjoy it too!

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 12: Mother Earth

Drawing on my inspiration from various US and UK house/garage styles, I crafted the mix in a way that highlights the core attitude from both regions which influence me as an artist. 

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 13: MADVILLA

So as I’ll be playing on a boat with my Goddezz family, I thought I’d start off
with some hands in the air, big feels, euphoric piano house kind of vibes - then
easing into some funkier tech-y-er cuts, a mix of new bits from this year as well
as some old joints that I had to rip from records.
Peppered in with a few sleazy cuts from the likes of paranoid London and even
a Patrick Cowley joint in there somewhere, I feel like this mix encapsulates the
vibes I’ll be bringing on the day. Its gonna be happy, groovy, emotional and
sexy…

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 14: DJ Deep Heat

Live recording taken from our 3 hour opening set ahead of Or:la and Sonja Moonear at FOLD earlier this year. We loved this party and feel the recording has done a nice job of capturing the energy in the room that night.

It’s crammed with tracks we’re feeling right now, leaning into our minimal collection but spanning plenty of genres and moods, with some new & unreleased material from both of us.

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 15: Control Freak

I want to included a nice blend of old and new dance floor focused tracks and also pay homage to also some great producers who have inspired my productions.

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 16: Aika Mal

Brian (DJ Python) and I run a Sunday party called Pause, and here’s a section of a live recording from our third edition.

Brian got stuck in New York, which meant I had to hold it down for about 6-7 hours. I’d barely slept—maybe an hour since Friday—thanks to what could be excused as work commitments and some friends deciding to get married in the middle of it all.

Honestly, I barely remember playing, just that I showed up without headphones or a working USB. Shout out to Blake from the Ormside Bar team, who lent me his headphones and held down the first 30 minutes while I copied some random folders onto a spare stick of his.

The mix is a bit loose given my delirium but meant I was trying shit like leaving Chicago drum tracks rolling under other blends or attempting to double drop minimal tunes (god only knows why)."

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 17: Kit Seymour

"Building this mix with recent dancefloors and memorable dancers in mind. The result is a a condensed representation of a peak time set you might find me play recently. Full of new and old records i've been enjoying recently in clubs and festivals. 

It starts with a 40 mins build up of rolling, rhythmic and consistent early 00s tech house tracks, leading up into an intentional 30 minute final flurry of good feeling inducing 90s ravey lifters. I'm really happy how it turned out, and maybe some of these records slip into my set at Multi Multi."

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 21: Mark Gill

"This one-hour vinyl-only mix weaves together chuggy house and disco grooves, built for those deep and magical moment when the whole dancefloor moves as one. You're invited on a sonic journey through spiritual, soulful, and percussive sounds now.
Enjoy the ride!"

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 18: Nina Yamada

Had a proper boogie recording this in my bedroom! I was hoping to create a mix that showcased my love of early 00s progressive house, incorporating both old records and new fresh material that capture the nostalgia of the golden era. Packed to the brim with unreleased and forthcoming material from my extremely talented friends. Proper peak time mix but can fit any setting I’m sure 😉 Enjoy x

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 19: Wigs

This mix is especially dear to my heart - a love letter to some of my all-time favourite records. Threaded throughout is a consistent theme of soulful female vocals that bring warmth and emotion to the journey. Expect a strong presence of ’90s house and garage influences, with plenty of summer-tinged “hands-in-the-air” moments, punchy piano lines, and deep, chunky house grooves. It’s a feel-good blend designed for open skies, sun-kissed dancefloors, and pure joy.

Secretsundaze is the trademark of forward-thinking, underground house music. As an artist and brand – spanning parties and festivals, a record label, a studio, an NTS residency and a live band project – it’s been operating for over 20 years and embodies the spirit and community of London’s club culture. But it’s never been one to sit still or rest on its laurels; leave that to the nostalgia crew because Secretsundaze always keeps it moving. 

Take this year, 2024, as an example. Right now Secretsundaze is stepping out as an artist proposition in its own right, helmed by producer/DJ/curator James Priestley who’s currently packing a stack of club tracks that will drop across the year and establish the project as a hit factory for DJs and dancers searching for a fresh take on house music that draws on breakbeat energy and trancey euphoria. Priestley is known to take the roof off as a DJ and now he’s adding to his arsenal with sought-after solo productions of his own under the Secretsundaze name. 

As a tastemaker, Secretsundaze sits at the cutting-edge, bringing new heads into the fold and always looking to champion new talent. His NTS residency, which has seen MoMa Ready, Paquita Gordon and Alex Kassian guest recently, is a reflection of the project’s current dancefloor obsessions. The meticulous curation of the Secretsundaze presents parties and Multi Multi festival, renowned for featuring talents such as Ash Lauryn and Carista long before they gained widespread recognition and uniting visionary artists like Toumba, Tash LC and NIKS under a single roof, serves as a compelling testament to Secretsundaze’s commitment in celebrating new artists.

Now for some history: 2022 saw the launch of Spirit Of Sundaze Ensemble, a full live band project that reimagines anthems beloved of those in the know, recording and performing cult bangers like Photek’s ‘Mine To Give’ and Joyce Sims’ ‘Come Into My Life’. The band has already graced the stages of the Queen Elizabeth Hall (Southbank Centre) and the ICA as well as Beat Hotel and Kala festivals, with a debut LP set for release later this year.

This duality of cutting-edge and classic is what makes Secretsundaze so special. Priestley originally cut his teeth as a d’n’b DJ and a promoter of not-so-legal warehouse parties before becoming an annual resident at the legendary Robert Johnson and landing gigs at Panorama Bar and Queen at Smart Bar, which is the kind of gigography that many selectors would happily settle for. But Priestley’s love of underground club culture has propelled him even further and Secretsundaze is now two decades deep, a pillar of London culture that has poured blood, sweat and tears into the city’s music community. 

Secretsundaze begins 2024 as a solo venture with Priestley at the helm, navigating an ever-expanding musical universe that unearths and re-engages with different styles, genres and music scene via parties, live shows, productions, radio and even a new record label.
