A long-standing favourite of ours as well as countless electro labels like Further Electronix and Altered Sense, Paul Hammock aka Cignol has been in the business of refined machine funk for over a decade. But naturally, his exclusive Bleep mix is less about looking back and more about the future. Stacked with a bunch of brand new, forthcoming and unreleased tracks from across Cignol’s arsenal of contemporaneous releases, the mix delivers an hour-long journey in non-stop 4/4, from squelching acid textures to laser beamed bass sequencers.

"I’ve put together a mix of mostly new or forthcoming tracks.  All hardware jams made using x0x, Miami, rd-8, 707, Juno-60, jp-08, Juno-06 and Sh01a if you’re interested in that kind of thing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together!" - Cignol

Ralph Lawson should need no introduction as it would be impossible to list all that he has achieved in such a short space but here's a whistle stop tour anyway. 

Having cut his teeth as resident DJ at back to basics, even playing the first record in the club, before going onto become musical director and help the club to win multiple awards. Ralph has gone on to perform across the globe in countless famous venues too long to list but including The Hacienda, Sub Club, fabric, The Loft Barcelona, Space & DC10. 

Ralph also founded 20/20 Vision Recordings, a label as relevant now as it was when founded back in 1995 that has released music from an eclectic range of artists as musically diverse as Crazy P, Maya Jane Coles, Christian Loffler, Carl Finlow and Voigtmann over 400 releases. There is something very incredibly special about that in our eyes, with multiple releases spanning the years still never leaving the bags of us here at W.A.P.

When you take a step back and look at Ralph’s history and musical knowledge as a DJ, giving this mix a spin is a no brainer. The man quite simply loves music and that is so very evident in the unique and fresh energy he brings to each & every set. 

We are blessed & honoured to have Ralph kick off our new series with a journey into the brain courtesy of new mycelium networks. From a slow chuggy start the mix builds into mind expanding acid house while being nailed to the floor by cabinet shaking bass along the way. This is full frequency mixing to be enjoyed on a road trip…

Love International Mix 035 - ddwy

Farmfest celebrates 10 years of doin' it for themselves, with the first in a series of mixes exploring the ever present D.I.Y. music sub-culture that exists in this tiny complex island.

Part 1, a downtempo, bass heavy analogue journey, recorded with vinyl only, takes a look at the underground, self-released, hand stamped, micro-labels and producers that have kept on keepin' on, through the hard times, and the good.

Here's a little window into why each track was picked.
We hope you enjoy.
The series continues...

1 + 2.
Al Dobson JR - Nankoo On Keys + Santiago Black (Ptaki Version)
[Rhythm Section International] 2014
—
There is a real sound developing down in Peckham, South London. Lo-fi, off-kilter house, downtempo jazz and dub heavy grooves all blending into something fresh, but nostalgic. Bradley Zero is at the forefront with his Rhythm Section nights and now putting out some stunning work via the label of the same name. Beautiful remix production provided via Poland by Ptaki. (We're claiming the UK link via the label on this one).

3.
NY*NK - Empty Promises 
[Intimate Friends] 2013
—
We don't know much about this producer from Newcastle. Luckily, we do know of his exceptional work on Marcel Vogel's labour of love label Intimate Friends. NY*NK, if you see this, get in touch!

4.
Linkwood - Hear The Sun 
[Firecracker] 2007
—
Firecracker has been coming with soulful, cosmic dirt for over a decade now. Distributed in the underground and played in the underground! This beautifully illustrated 10" dropped in 2007.

5.
Swag - Mixtape Classics: Drill Bit 
[Version Music] 2006 
—
Swag were top of the DIY deep house scene back in 2006, along with Inland Knights, they killed it on a consistent basis. The vinyl even has the central piece die-cut to look like a giant tape cassette. Respect.

6.
Marathon Men - Bye Bye Babe 
[Gamm] 2007
—
British producers Marathon Men dropped this oozy, deep soul number in 2007, on the legendary Swedish edit label GAMM. 

7.
Romare - The Blues (It Began in Africa) 
[Black Acre] 2012
—
Romare's breakthrough EP on Bristol's Black Acre Records. Ian and Black Acre consistently put out groundbreaking new material from emerging acts. Discovering producers like Romare before he got snapped up by the relative giant Ninja Tune. We were suitably impressed and got him down to the farm to play last year!

8.
Maya Jane Coles - Nobody Else (Youandewan Remix) 
[Hype_Ltd] 2011
—
Probably the most talented and successful female dj/producer to come out of Britain in the last 10 years. This was the first release on Hyperdubs' limited release offshoot, Hype_ltd. Remixed here by Youandewan — born in Scotland, raised in Yorkshire!

9.
Rhythm & Sound - No Partial 
[PK] 2010
—
We don't know a thing about this 10" vinyl, except that it's hand stamped, packaged in a yellow paper sleeve, and features the fattest dubby bassline of the last decade.

10.
Martin Hayes - Broken Memory 
[Banoffee Pies] 2015
—
We end on a track from the recent Banoffee Pies vinyl. Ours being no 347 of 350, so we nearly missed the boat on this one. These guys balance running Dr Bannana, a clothing and hat brand, alongside the label, whilst putting on some of the best underground parties in Bristol. Bradley Zero played last month, and they have none other than the legend Bill Brewster for their next jaunt. We doth our caps!
