Purple Velvet is Chris James and Lee Dearn, two purveyors of deep and sensuous house music since forming in late 2011. Having gotten to know each other at various late night music sessions, the pair have increasingly honed their own house sound that’s as suited to the dark confines of a club as it is the sunnier vibes of an outdoor terrace.

Without further a due, here's their mixtape they made for us. It's really something else and it has put a big smile on our faces here at the office. Enjoy!

Who is https://soundcloud.com/kimou-official? Some say he comes from the heartlands of Africa, having been raised by a pack of wild tigers. Others claim he comes from the cold heights of Mount Kilimanjaro.

How mysterious his persona might be, his taste in music is crystal clear. So just press play, and let Kimou sweep you off your feet.

BIS Radio Show #721 with Solar

Digital Fist is a breakbeat, (tech-house/)techno and drum&bass DJ (and very lazy producer) specialising in driving hypnotic rhythms, precision machine funk and menacing atmospheres (who has recently branched out into psytrance).

Based in the vicinity of Southampton, UK and having been denied re-entry to the mothership due to visa irregularities, he occupies himself primarily by hosting a fortnightly show on BRAP.fm entitled The Precipice (brap.fm/category/the-precipice) featuring all of the above and regular guest spots from unsung heroes of the global neighbourhood, as well as being familiar to many on the North Hampshire free-party scene, and a handful of clubs on the south coast.

Having utterly floored Volks last year, he has been re-invited back by Brighton's Neon crew to assist in hosting the downstairs at this November's edition of Freak Bazaar again. Except more epic progressive and glitchy breaks. After a 12-year hiatus for various reasons, he finally has the equipment to begin producing his own stuff again. Resistance is fertile.

BRAWLcast #116 Digital Fist

At Field Maneuvers 2023, Optimo (Espacio) played the final set in the Sputnik tent as part of the Watching Trees takeover. "We expected everyone to be on their final reserves of energy," they said. "But it was instantly apparent that there was electric energy in the tent. It ended up being one of the most joyous, life-affirming gigs of [the year]."

RA Live - Optimo (Espacio) - Field Maneuvers, UK

This native Italian & Berlin based duo needs no introduction. Mind Against started in 2011 and barely 3 years later they are on the crown jewels of the Life and Death label after showing their incredible studio skill. In 2012 and 2013 they also composed several remixes for, amongst others, WhoMadeWho, Art Department, Róisín Murphy, Green Velvet on labels such as Kompakt, Cocoon Recordings, and Vakant.

Mind Against’ sound is very difficult to describe, but we dare to say that the mixture between house and techno appears to sound very deep, trippy and provocative. When they play it’s a sure thing that one can lose themselves in the music and travel to distant universes while dancing.

PREMIERE > inverted-audio.com/premiere-mori-ra-stormy-weather

@mori-ra vibrant and heady 'Stormy Weather' @kemal187 couldn't sport an apter name with its tempestuous flight of high-pitched synth movements and stammering sax. Melancholic yet underpinned by a constant search for light and groove, this one shall have your head buzzing and feet shuffling in equal measure. Right up there in the edits hall of fame.

WorldwideFM - Astral Jam with Paula Tape [3]

@SolarSF and @Mozhgan have been kind enough to let us upload their barnstormer of a set from The Island, and by gum this one’s a humdinger. 

For those of you who live under rocks, Solar and Mozhgan popped over from San Francisco to give Bristol’s best venue a proper talking to - and a proper talking to they indeed gave it. The duo took us through selections of punk-laced EBM, futurist minimal synth, headbang techno and old-school acid drivers, solidifying their status as our favourite Bay Area couple! 

As a mix, it is unpredictable, obscure and diverse, but without meandering from a central theme of dark, moody, fun-as-fuck party slammers (DJ Bigos hit us up) - we feel incredibly blessed to have been able to host these two and add this to our humble little series.

Not to mention preserving one of our favourite parties, and some fond memories with 2 of our favourite guests!

Recorded live at The Island, Bristol, 31st January 2020.
