It’s our first guest mix of 2024 and it’s only right to provide some upbeat, feel good sounds to mark the end of a bleary January.

Presenting the brilliant @butchaboiiii for the SOLITUDE series ⚔️ 

Freya aka Butchaboi grew up in West Yorkshire and currently resides in Manchester. She’s been chipping away at the bass scene for over three years and her trajectory is constantly elevating. We had to get her on the series ASAP ✈️ 

She’s a SICK DJ and produces her own music to a real high standard. Her forte is edits of classic female pop tracks such as Beyoncé’s ‘Sweet Dreams’ and Katy Perry’s ‘California Gurlz” (to list a couple, head to her soundcloud for more) - all of her tracks have a beautiful bubbly energy that blesses some major soul healing ❤️‍🩹 

Freya has shelled down sets for @ghostsofgarage, @warpedevents, @open.till.late.mcr, @2stepinstitute and this year you can catch her at @parklife_festival - her biggest booking to date 💎

We’re confident you’ll see the Butchaboi name appear a lot more throughout the year and we hope to see her continue to shine ✨
