Emerging from Dublin, @mick_offcut is a founder of Offcut Dublin, a DJ collective who curate underground selections and nights over in Ireland. They launched their first event back in March 2020, but of course got put on pause over lockdown. Since then, they’ve kept it moving with their bi-weekly show on Phever TV and have got some events in the pipeline ready for when things fully settle down in IE 🇮🇪 


To keep in tune with the sounds of SOLITUDE, Mick recorded a punchy UKG mix with one of the sickest intros we’ve heard in a minute 📞

MIX SERIES: 003 / M|CK

Insurrect is a selector who resides on the darker side of the tracks. He’s always represented the music he loves, initially carving his path as a resident at the Crystal Clear DJ society in Hull (they’ve been holding it down for 14 years now…) He’s currently based out of Manchester and has been shelling in full force since he moved down. We’re gassed to have him as the mastermind behind the fourth entry of our guest mix series.

He isn’t one to shy away from the grimy sounds and nasty basslines we all screwface to. Having opened for some of the sickest names in UKG; Conducta, Higgo, Smokey and Wookie to name a few, we assure you his SOLITUDE guest mix is more than serious. In his own words “sometimes you’ve gotta get dark and wobbly.”

Don’t miss out on his residency shows at @subtleradio and UKG sets for @altoradio either. You can often hear him move through breaks, dubstep, UKG and electro with no stress. Hit play and get ready to bop your head to this one.




Tracklist:

Bandoe & Cortex - XS
Holloway - Echo Tone
Interplanetary Criminal - Bronze
Oldboy - Kung Fu Kenneth
Eyesight - ??? [Unreleased]
Xander - You'll Understand (Bam Bam)

Stones Taro - Step Of Love
Oldboy - Mantis
Eyesight - Champion Race
Al Wootton - Witness

MIX SERIES: 004 / INSURRECT

Freddie Baker AKA BAKEY has got to be one of the most influential young producers this side of the scene. His releases have been featured by UK giants @mixmag-1, he has almost 15,000 monthly Spotify listeners and he’s been getting support from some of the biggest underground names out there for a while now; @skeptical, @bigflowdan and @e5izco to choose a few.

@bakeymusic isn’t locked to one genre, with his guest mix for SOLITUDE truly expressing his talent with some crazy blends, HUGE dubplates and a bunch of features from fellow music heads. He effortlessly experiments through styles and pulls out selections that on paper don’t sound like they’d work, but when in the mix they sound nothing short of incredible. You gotta hear it to believe it.

He’s also the brother of @breakaleeds who is killing it right now. The two of them have just released "Pro Perc" and "Club Dynamics" two super crisp pieces of production that feature on Breaka’s upcoming EP "Breaka 003" – You don’t want to miss that one. Talk about talent running in the family.

P.S We don’t want to say too much… but you will probably see BAKEY on a SOLITUDE line-up towards the end of the year...

HANNAH WANTS // ROOTS // JUNE 2014

I’ve been meaning to make this mix for a really long time and whilst I know it won’t be to everybody’s taste, I wanted to showcase some of my favourites tracks from when I first began DJ’ing way back in 2002! I wanted to be able to show people where my love for music started and where for me, it all began.

You may or may not know that when I first started buying vinyl’s and learning to DJ I fell in love with Speed Garage, Bassline House, Funky House and UK Garage - a music genre/scene that dominated Birmingham (my hometown) at the time. 

I started out with some not-so-tight Numark belt drive decks and slowly began teaching myself the art of DJ’ing. When I say slowly, I mean slowly... For a short time I wasn’t even aware that I had to adjust tempo’s to mix a track and it’s safe to say my first couple of weeks practising didn’t sound too great! Fast forward twelve or so years, I’m now living my dream as a DJ! 

I had SO much fun making this mix. It was both an amazing trip down memory lane and a pleasant surprise to realise that I sometimes drop a few tracks in my set now that I played allllllll those years ago! 

I have absolutely no idea if this type of music was being played in your city/scene, wherever that may be around the world, however it’d be interesting to know... What I do know is that these Speed Garage / Bassline vibes were massive in the likes of Birmingham (UK) and Sheffield (UK) in the early 2000’s - if you were a part of the scene back in the day, you need no introduction! 

This two-hour mix consists of 31 tracks that range in release year from 1996 to 2005. These 120 minutes are my ROOTS...

Track list:

01. Fatima Rainey – Hey (Mount Rushmore’s Deep Vocal Mix)
02. Ladycop – To Be Real
03. Mass Medium – Got To Have It
