here's the collection of the show we host on Rocket Radio (www.rocketradiolive.com). One episode per month where we play our recent favs or invite our friends from all over the world for recording a guestmix!

Rocket Radio "Espresso" curated by Slow Fire Disco Machine

Majestically dropping in with magic mix number fifty eight is Merchant @merchantrecordslondon

The tag team of Harry and Al based outta London were firmly bitten by the digging / vinyl bug during their uni years and continue to collect with the goal of 'If it's good, it's good" regardless of genre. 

You get a sense of that here with this mix as they move through a number of genres with ease! Enjoy! :)

Rocket Radio Espresso #030 w/ Tut Anah Amon

After compiling and planning in my head for close to a year, I finally sat down to create the 11 Years of Soul Clap Records mix a week before the deadline. It wasn't that I wasn't inspired, it was exactly the opposite, there were just too many song and ideas spinning around in my head to get focused. I knew that the only way that I was going to fit all the music I needed to onto the mix would be using Ableton. So returning to my days of detail oriented cut-n-paste mixes (EFUNK: The Mixtape, DJ Kicks, Fabric) I got deep into the groove of the label that I know inside and out. But even with my intimate knowledge, I was not prepared for all the musical surprises I stumbled onto while splicing these 33 tracks into four distinct musical movements. When the dust had settled and I listened back, I felt like I had truly captured the spirit of the label, and I shed a tear for all the good times and hard times that this music has soundtracked. I couldn't be more proud of all the music included on this mix and I hope that love shines through your speakers and inspires your ears for years to come.

Rocket Radio Espresso #033 w/ Pleasure Voyage

London’s friendliest DJ duo Merchant summon their deepest club crates for two hours of summery prog and rhythm heavy house heaters!

Oozing their signature feel good sensibilities, this one’s a bumping ride with classy 90s groovers and contemporary UK dance music mixed up with love as the main ingredient..

@merchantrecordslondon

Q. What inspiration did you guys draw upon when planning out and making this mix together, and what kind of listening environments might you see it being easily enjoyed in?

A. We’ve always loved a variety of different music and it feels really nice to be able to put out a dance mix that shows that side of our sound. We often spin dance music with our mates at home before a night out, so this could be quite good for the pre-game or as you’re gearing up for the dance in the festival campsite.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. Two of the three tunes we’ll be releasing in our first EP this summer are in the mix so look out for tracks Viva and Twenty46. We worked with our very talented producer friend Strath on those and we are excited for playing them more this summer. 

Another standout is Rockin The Boat by Reflex Blue. It’s got the perfect amount of groove to it with that sax coming over that acid line and it’s a great track for moving sets in different directions. 

We are also really fond of the last two tracks. 

Life Formation by Epsylon 9 is a 90s trance track that has got a lot of positive energy. We paired that with the closing track Please Come To My Show by Kolter which carries that atmosphere but with a more contemporary sound. 

Q. Harry I know you’re heading back to the UK to reunite with Al after spending the summer down here in Aus. What are you guys looking forward to upon your return, any new projects or parties in the works?

A. Mainly excited to give each other a big hug, crack a bottle of wine and chuck a few records on. DJing never feels the same when we aren’t together so we are really looking forward to some nice European gigs soon. Obviously the EP is also exciting. We are also starting a run of parties later this year so keep an eye out for that on our insta if you’re listening from London.
