Iconic early 90's Ibiza downtempo sound, “Daybreak” would have undoubtedly been the soundtrack to many sunrises in the Baleares. Simon Monday mixes the essential ingredients for bliss in perfect balance, a production so simple yet so effective, no rocket-science just pure intuition, honesty and sharp club sense. All elements coming together to make such an effortlessly powerful sounding instrumental house classic that will forever stand the test of time. Repacked in this new remastered re-issue with full artwork and with 2 new mixes: an extended 9 minute dub version with a new religious edge to it along with an additional re-drummed percussion heavy “bonus beats” for good measure. A no brainer buy-on-sight release for any proper record collection, just in time for the summer season.

After Denzel’s debut EP ‘Techniques 4 Life’, the quest for finding those approaches continues. The Helsinki night owl draws from a range of influences here on his sophomore EP ‘Glorified Intake’, leading things into a murkier territory than his previous, with tracks made during a transitional period between two cities, H & B.

The first track HKI 13 is an ode to roots. The track is held together by a swerving astral arpeggio combined with chants from a village dance off and stabs that liken to that one Balearic house anthem… The Sun is well on its way below. 

Nightrun reduces things to a darker core, howling into the night, embodying a state rather than telling a story. Time goes by, how is it already tomorrow? An after hours tune with a bassline for a hook. Doesn’t get much sleazier than that. Getting down, getting low. 

On the flipside, we’ve made it to the beginning of the end, phased out the doubts and gathered up the strength to go on — things are looking brighter. A voice inside your head — trust only yourself. 

Finally on the last stretch, light has subsided and darkness has landed once again. We’ve thrown out any notion of what, where and who. Those things don’t matter anymore: we’ve perfected “the state”. It’s go time.

Dawidu presents JADE

For DIM325, we hand things over to Inner Lakes. Repping the underground of Northern Italy, the producer and DJ is an expert in crafting spiraling grooves that bend from deep and gritty to euphoric nostalgia, with nothing off-limits in between.

Here he draws together elements of techno, UK house and trance into 1 hour of big-system bangers and hypnotic deep-digs, including special edits from his dubplate collection as well as unreleased forthcoming material.

DIM325 - Inner Lakes

Captured live from the beating heart of Sex Tapes From Mars’ 4th orbit around the sun, here is our 6 hour long set from the evenings mischief - direct from the booth at The Love Inn, Bristol.

This isn’t polished. It’s raw, real and human (alien).
Not a studio take - a celebration in motion.
Flaws intact, edges left on & the sound of presence over perfection.

For this edition of our MIXED BY series, we're thrilled to welcome Gearmaster, the fresh alias from the minds behind former duo Abdul Raeva. Emerging from the vibrant underground scene of Tallinn, Gearmaster represents a new chapter marked by a refined sonic identity — “more groove, less goof,” as they put it.

In the interview, the duo reflects on their artistic evolution, explaining how the Gearmaster project distills years of experimentation into something more deliberate and groovy, while still carrying the punch and playfulness that made their previous work stand out. With the launch of their own label Slipdisc Recordings, they now have full creative control, and their debut release Time To Slam sets the tone: high-energy, groove-forward club music with a sharp ear for texture and detail.

Expect a mix that echoes this philosophy — percussive, fun, and purposeful — balancing subtle movements with floor-ready energy. It’s a fusion of everything they’ve learned through years of alias-hopping and sound design, delivered with clarity and character.

Tune in, turn it up, and let Gearmaster guide you through their finely tuned universe.

INTERVIEW.
