Here it is, second installment to our mixtape series started by Ink's 'Exposure'.

Inspired by our trip to Miami a couple of years ago, Sammy Jam went in to craft a mix dedicated to the cocktail infused slow life lived under tall palm trees and heavy sunshine by the turquoise waters. Ink's cover captures the feel perfectly really.

This Sunday we joined forces with the Play It Louder fam. They have been everywhere after the release of a well received new compilation. 

Two of their artists, Congruence and Is It Tomorrow, took over the second hour with fine mixes. Playing own stuff, music from the new compilation and some other favorites.

Congruence is a collaboration project uniting the forces of producers Soundpalette (@soundpal) and ESCPE (@escpemusic). Is It Tomorrow is a young and ambitious producer from Cracow, Poland. Mixing hip hop beats heavy bass lines and low-pitched vocals he developed his own style.

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

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.

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.

We also agreed that we will play part of his live set in the next show. So here it is, first hour mellow vibes and lots of Rnb and second hour, Joe Kay live at Bones in Helsinki. 

It was good to meet you and we look forward to see more people from Soulection tribe in Helsinki in the near future!

This show started with more gloomy tracks due to a heavy rain beating down Helsinki. Eventually we were able to lift our spirits and shifted towards brighter thoughts and warmer tracks more suitable for a good old Sunday service. That said, this episode once again contains two hours of quality music selected by your hosts Sammy Jam and Ink.

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,

No more radio shows, just mixes. No speaking, just straight music seamlessly mixed. And I know some of you are happy about this, maybe it was the strange accent. :)

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.
