Resident mix #3
@route8

If there’s anyone in Hungary in house music who doesn’t really need an introduction it's Szilvio. He has been churning out tunes and mixes from his bedroom for the past five years to international acclaim. He had been gracing the catalogues of international labels for years by the time he released his debut album last year. All that experience shows when he takes over the DJ booth. It’s no mistake that he’s been invited to record mixes for some serious hitters in the industry such as Melbourne Deepcast, Butter Sessions, c-, The Lot Radio or a Public Possession

Domestically he’s carrying the torch for our scene with his label @this-is-our-time and his event series @itsokaytodance. We are filled with pride that he accepted our invitation to become one of our residents at mhmm parties from here on out.

● What type of house music are you most excited by nowadays? 
I’ve started leaning slightly towards progressive house. I’m in love with hypnotic synth melodies that are surrounded by tribal house percussion, and vocal chops. I’m especially drawn to tracks from the late 90s, early 2000s. It’s quite exciting to dig through that period, as it is quite a challenge to find gems from that time. Luckily some new producers have appeared who are keeping the prog sound alive: @djlifee, @Andersonmusik, @adampits .

● What are the most memorable gig settings you’ve been in? 
200-300 capacity open air parties outside of Budapest in nature, with friends and a cold Club Mate have always been near to my heart. Last summer, when we had a couple months to get together between virus waves, there were a couple of great parties with this type of setting: mhmm x Santsat in the Arboretum by Budakeszi, Pavilon in the hills behind Szentendre, and parties at the Nomad Bar in the Danube bend.

● A couple thoughts regarding the mix?
This recording is meant to accompany dance moves during sunrise. It contains tracks from our new This Is Our Time release, some trancy pieces, and some Route 8 nuggets. 

● Three tracks?
Round Two - New Day (Club Vocal Mix)
The Other People Place - Let Me Be Me
Echomen - Orient
----------------------------------------------
Szilvió hálószobájából több mint 5 éve repülnek ki a megjelenések és mixek. Már tavalyi nagylemeze előtt is neves nemzetközi kiadók katalógusát erősítette, és a világ minden táján táncoltatott már. Ez a tömérdek tapasztalat meg is mutatkozik amikor a pultban áll. Nem véletlen az sem, hogy eddigi mixei többek között a Melbourne Deepcast, Butter Session, C-, The Lot Radio vagy a Public Possession-nél landoltak. 

Itthon a kiadójával (This Is Our Time) és az It’s Okay To Dance szervezői zászló alatt tesz hozzá az szcénához. Büszkeséggel tölt el minket, hogy elfogadta a felkérésünket, hogy mostantól ő is rezidense legyen az mhmm buliknak.

● A house zene melyik vonala kelti fel a leginkább az érdeklődésedet mostanában?
Kicsit elkezdtem menni a progresszív house irányába. Nagyon élem a hipnotikus szinti dallamokat amiket megfűszereznek tribal house dobokkal, és szaggatott vokálokkal. Főleg a 90-es évek végi, 2000-es évek eleji trekkek körében mozgok, amik között elég nehéz megtalálni a gyöngyszemeket. Szerencsére idén több új előadó is felbukkant ebben körben (DJ Life, Anderson, Adam Pits) akik zenéjükkel tovább viszik a prog szellemét.

● Az eddigi fellépéseid közül milyen környezet volt a legmaradandóbb?
Mindig is közel álltak a szívemhez a 200-300 fős Budapesten kívüli open air bulik, a természet lágy ölén, barátokkal és hideg club matéval. Tavaly az első covid hullám után, egész szép volt a felhozatal ezen a téren (Budakeszi Arborétum mhmm x Santsat, Pavilon, Nomád Bár) amikben remélem idén is lesz részünk.

● Pár gondolat a mixről? 
Napfelkeltés táncmozdulatokhoz ajánlom ezt a mixet, amiben szerepel új This Is Our Time kiadványunk mellett egy két trance és Route 8 finomság is.

● Három kedvenc?
Round Two - New Day (Club Vocal Mix)
The Other People Place - Let Me Be Me
Echomen - Orient

SSS Podcast #148 : Route 8

"Infinite Content Loop" was written by Plastician with the intention of it serving as a monotonous and menacing backdrop to the feeling of dread that overcomes you every day knowing you need to get on social media and post some engaging content. The idea was not to create something particularly uplifting, but a constant tone of dread and pressure brought about by the never ending bass loop and dark atmospherics, backed by a building percussive section that brings the needed progression in a more subtle way.

In true Plastician style, it's designed to sit between many of the genres he spins in his own sets. Influences are pulled from UK Garage, Dubstep, Techno, Breaks and more, in order to create a DJ tool that serves as the glue between them. With a remix from UK music hero Zed Bias, this is a versatile release that we hope resonates with you.

Settle Down - Agent Smith [Premiere]

FREE DL: https://hypeddit.com/belik/worthwhile

for a while now, I've been stuck on a creative seesaw trying to balance writing techy club bangers and 'good music that comes from the heart.' to me, this track symbolizes a step in the right direction for my project - a glimpse into what I'm capable of if I consciously dig deeper and write about something that I, alongside countless others, can resonate with. "Worthwhile" is about the fleeting essence of childhood and blissful ignorance that all humans encounter through the onset of adulthood. it's a bit of a happy-sad theme, which I find the track to convey through its ironically sad lyrics and cheerful/hopeful motif. it's not often that I sing over my tunes, but i'm really starting to enjoy this added layer to the creative process and will definitely explore this territory more in the future. 

hope you dig :)

Worthwhile (FREE DOWNLOAD)

New Delhi's UKato distills his usual fare of breakbeats (which has got him to some of the genre's coveted labels like RAM Records) into the laidback groove of dubstep and the underlying pulse shared with techno before finding his way back using the deep low-end as the connecting thread. Starting from Mala, remixes of Aphex Twin and Pearson Sound edits, the mix goes deep into deep cuts in the second half besides throwing in originals, shaking your core with a dark depth while the beats work to keep things fun and lively.

After an amazing run with his latest EP on Hessle Audio ‘Make It Better/ Restless Sleep’ Josi Devil is back with a 3 tracker on TSVI & Wallwork’s Nervous Horizon.

Combining club functionality and cinematic sound design this EP leaves no stone unturned.

‘No More’ has already conquered most dance floors around the UK and the world being played by the biggest names in the scene like Ben UFO, Joy O, Special Requests etc.

‘Duinpan’ is a pounding garage banger with mind bending sound design.

‘M.e.S’ the final track is a collaboration with label boss TSVI, and it definitely is the cherry on the cake incorporating both the signature Nervous Horizon sound and Josi Devil’s cold & slick production.
