(Some) Favorite SPÆCIAL Mixes

This week on Topshelf we are delighted to have with us Mexican Italo DJ/Producer Alex Aguayo.

A master of experimentation, Alex Aguayo (also Mahkina) has been exploring the electronic genres through his production since his housey 2016 debut ‘Stereo’ and has continued to develop his kraft exponentially, adding rich layers to his work and evolving his sound through aesthetic , moving gradually from classic house to italo house, marked by his 2019 release ‘Circuit’ which also saw remixes from Did Virgo, Thomas Banks and White Magik. 

Alex has since continued to add to his extremely impressive body of work with huge Italo / Dark Disco tracks like ‘Not Going Out’, ‘Mothership’ & ‘Robots Experience’ with Velax, ‘Left Without a Word’, ‘Light Out’, ‘Never Coming Back’, Squares & Waves’, ‘Stuck In A Timeline’, Intuitive Confusion’, ‘Altered Speech’ & ‘Away’ to name a mere few as well as recently delving even further deeper into the previously mentioned genres with a multitude of works with dark disco darling Silicodisco, including their brilliant new EP ‘Ultraviolet’ which perfectly incapsulates the depth we’re referring. 
With an already release heavy 2024, we can’t wait to hear what else he has in store for us this year but for now here’s Topshelf 0105 w/ Alex Aguayo, enjoy.

New Improved Elephants [Mr Bird Remix]

Release info.

Premiere: Lagos Thugs - New Improved Elephants (Mr Bird Remix) - Tangential Music

Slouk @slouk is a French DJ and record collector currently based in Brighton, UK. He discovered the sound of arpeggios as a child, through the 80s Synth-pop tapes from his parents and CDs borrowed at the multimedia library. In his early twenties, he moved to Canada where he heard the sound of Hi-NRG and Italo on the dancefloors of Montreal. Ever since, he started to collect records. Slouk's musical journey took a darker path five years ago, while he was living in Berlin. It is behind the missed doors of the Melancholie 2 fridge and the Wrong Era parties that he discovered another facet of Italo and Dark disco... Through this mix, he tried to transcribe the dark and energetic atmosphere he experienced there.
Fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride! 🧙‍♂️

My Third - Sunday After

Andrew Weatherall was a main influence for the Something Spæcial series from the get-go, so here finally is The Robot Scientists tribute to one of the most influential, creative, productive, classy and original producers we know. We decided to pick the tracks, remixes and co-productions from him we love most and put them in almost full length into a slowly developing, slowly grooving pretty long mix that pays complete respect to the meticulously drafted tracks and all their fantastic details mainly from his A Love From Outer Space years 2012-20. It is a homage just as a monument we hope for his creative output. Enjoy the ride.
