This week we had our very first guest mix in the show. Tokyo's own Yukibeb was so kind that she made an amazing Valentine's Day Mix for us. Love & Feels. If you don't already know who Yukibeb is, here's a short bio:

"The 21 year old Tokyo native, Yukibeb, has only been making and posting her mixes on Soundcloud since 2011, but has quickly amassed global attention for the eclectic vibes and moods she conveys through her selections. Both intimate and sensual, the sounds she fuses represent her hip hop, future beats, and r&b sensibilities. The diaphanous soundscapes she creates for her hungry listeners reflect the intricate sounds that compliment the complex and fluorescent backdrop of the Tokyo underground.

While she holds the attention of many, Yukibeb genuinely wishes to bring visibility to lesser known artists and give them a larger platform for recognition. Headstrong and opinionated, she doesn't really care for hype, follows her strong intuition and instincts to curate her unique sound. Citing major influences like J Dilla, Aaliyah, Tokimonsta and fellow labelmates Ms. Beb is poised to pursue her passion as a DJ first in her hometown of Tokyo and next worldwide."

Thank you Ms. Beb!

It was a great feel coming to this session, well prepared, knowing we're going to have a good time. Lots of fresh new finds from the crates and some special treats. Biggest treat was of course the impressive guest mix from SevnthWonder himself. Was an honor to have him in the show.

And special thanks to all the artists sending their music for the show <3

On the first show of the year we got company all the way from Singapore, when one of our favorite collectives and record labels blessed us with a full one hour takeover. 

Ink went in first, then Sammy Jam and on the second hour you can hear selection from DTW co-founder Funk Bast*rd.

We have a good feeling about this year and this first session strengthened it further. Thank you DTW fam!

We got to the studio after a long weekend, once again. Dresscode was definitely #teamcozy and the setlist accompanied that feel with those mellow vibes that make Sundays the best day of the week.

Shoutouts to @futurebeatsrec for hooking us up with a couple of amazing gems from their upcoming releases.

This time we also had a help from the multitalented Masego with a 30 minute guest mix full of R&B bounce and couple of upcoming exclusives from the maestro himself.

It was all about feels & beats when we had the honor to collaborate with Canadian beatmaker Elaquent. This dude has been a huge inspiration for us through the years so we had a little fan boy moment. 

On his guest mix Elaquent took us back to that sound what really is the basis for Soft Focus. Dusty grooves and gritty drums. We really enjoyed this session. We hope you're digging it too.

It’s all about dem vibes and so was it on this episode as well. And what another special guest to be added to the ever expanding list of greats! We are so blessed to be able to work with all these magnificent artists.

As Iman Omari’s Energy EP from 2011 was such a huge record for us, it was obviously a big thing for us to have him do a guest mix for the show. So after our selections, this show features a carefully curated set by Iman, showing you the full variety of his talents. There’s also a bunch of unreleased exclusives in there, so listen carefully and support that new new when it drops. Thank you so much Iman for vibing with us!

Special shoutout to DJ Jester from @beathausshow for making this happen!

We are feeling this session. Mellow, calm but still funky. We had talks with Melo-Zed about the guest mix for over a year and now the time was right. With this 30 minutes mix he gave us a brief introduction about his influences and favorite tunes. Names like J Dilla, Flying Lotus, Iamnobodi, Kaytranada and also couple of his own tunes. S/O to Darker Than Wax and much love to London, Melo-Zed is the future!

After busy midsummer weekend, from festival to festival and party to another party it was time to hit the studio and slow it down a bit. We played a good selection of mellow tunes. Our guest Handbook helped us to make this one a smooth ride for the whole 2 hours. Perfect end to a long week. Only good vibes.

We had the pleasure to connect with the Turkey's most soulful Kerem Akdag. We have been following his moves, his music and releases. It's easy to say this man is talented and capable of many things. We have heard soul, footwork and house releases from him. And what we got for the show was 45 minutes mix full of soulful house including unreleased tracks from him. Another great talent from Darker Than Wax family.

On the guest mix we have a young singer / songwriter Marco McKinnis. Only 18 and coming Hampton, Virginia. The home of Pharrell, Missy, Timbaland, D'angelo, Dewante Swing and many many more.... This fly looking gentleman is mixing his unique voice and style with 90's aesthetics. He's definitely going places with this fresh sounding blend. On the mix he's blending old and new jams, sources of inspiration.

We were fans of beats and instrumental hip hop long before we started Soft Focus. We have spent a lot of time discovering producers around the world. Beat scene in the states is well known, but for us it was also guys in Japan, Germany and the Netherlands for example.

This time we handed guest mix duties to Baltimore. Flow Fi member eu-IV took as back to those dusty, gritty, sample based beats. That got Ink digging some of his old favorites. But if you're fan of that new wave, that modern stuff, no worries, you can hear those sounds in this episode too.

eu-IV new 'Close Your Eyes' EP out now on Flow Fi!

Episode 93 with Deep Shoq, a Lithuanian producer representing worldwide Darker Than Wax crew.

@deep-shoq

Deep Shoq is a Lithuanian producer of so called urban-electronic beats scene, always searching for the best proportion between future beats, contemporary electronica and r&b flavours. His sound sits in the beat-laden, post-dubstep territory with a very chilled, almost hip-hop vibe that rattles with mellow synth lines and chopped soulful vocals intermittently.

A signee of one of Asia’s finest digital labels Darker Than Wax has been twice nominated in National music awards as one of the Best Electronic Acts in the country (2015, 2016) as well as become a winner of 2016 Live Beat Battle „Ritmo Kovos“.

Here it is. The last Soft Focus Radio show for now.

After five years it feels that we have done a lot. When we first started the show, we didn't have any goals or even plans, but this took us quite far. Because of the show we have landed gigs around the world, which is kind of crazy. 

We like to thank all the artists, labels and collectives we worked with. 
All the artists with guest mixes on the show, all the artists who sent us tracks to play on the show. Big thank you to our listeners, thank you for all the feedback, it was a pleasure to do this for you, for a reason. It’s the end of Soft Focus Radio, but we will keep digging and drop mixes from now on.

Peace,

We actually started our mix series same time with the radio show but we haven't done these in a while and we like to keep count so here's mix 01. Fresh start. Some of the best tunes from the past 2-3 months. Hope you guys like it.
