"I actually made this mix as a way to compile all the music that I'd been running to lately. Over the summer I signed up for the New York Marathon and while most might train to more aggressive music I found that a mellow mix suits me a lot better. I wanted to make a mix that reflected those runs by focusing more on flow than having the rarest tunes. I had a blast making it and was even able to listen to it during the big race this past weekend. And while the mix couldn't save me from paralyzing leg cramps around the halfway point it was a great soundtrack to my 15 minute stay in the medical tent.  I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I had making and running to it." - @enterthelloyd

Soul Case

Recorded live at the k hole disco (Lunacy party), Angel Bar, 2025.

Aradea Barandana, widely known as Dea, began his DJ career in high school, spinning records as background music for a breakdance crew. What started as a casual exploration of rhythm soon blossomed into a passion for building community through music. Dea launched his own club night in Jakarta, where his eclectic taste began to take shape.
While studying in London, Dea delved deep into the world of underground and obscure cosmic sounds, honing a style that defies strict categorization. His sets are a rich tapestry of exotic psychedelia, infused with electronic grooves that transcend traditional genre boundaries.
Dea has released numerous records under his own name and as part of projects like Precious Bloom and Zatua. His collaborations span diverse fields, from co-creating a short film soundtrack with DJ Harvey to contributing to albums by A Mountain of One and Ricardo Villalobos. He also made waves with an EP released on Peggy Gou’s Gudu Records.
Looking ahead, Dea is set to release his highly anticipated solo album on Rush Hour Records in summer 2025, a testament to his ever- evolving artistry and deep connection to the global music scene.

Glaz-go Skills!

Max Hammer @maxhammur delivers a tip-top recording for MIX035​, a sun-drenched blend of boogie-disco juice that glides between eras and continents with real flair. No fancy flips, just straight-up entertaining grooves served as they were meant to be heard ​, and like the man himself, full of character​.

Now based in Naarm/Melbourne, Max (a Glaswegian native) is the co-organiser of SANGAM, a fresh monthly celebration of sound, culture, and style ​that's hosted in some of the city’s most ridiculously cool and intimate venues. Influenced by early sound system sessions at The 78, late nights at Le Cheetah, and more, he brings with him a slice of Glasgow’s underground spirit.

This mix is steeped in that same energy​...think off-peak mystical grooviness that feels both nostalgic and new. From the driving pulse of Tabou Combo’s “Let’s Do The Groove”, to the smoky uplift of Eloise Whitaker’s “I Will Fight”, Max digs with heart, jumping borders with ease.

Proper inspiring stuff from the man.

About This Album: Solo Yo Conmigo
"Solo Yo Conmigo" es una obra cautivadora de Martin Alejandro Oviedo, que fusiona estilos musicales en un viaje sonoro único. Este álbum, disponible por solo 3 dólares en Bandcamp, ofrece una experiencia auditiva rica y variada, ideal para los amantes de la música electrónica.

Con un rango de 96 a 103 BPM y en la tonalidad A Phrygian, cada pista está diseñada para sumergirte en un ambiente de breakbeat y drum and bass que se entrelaza con influencias de minimal techno, deep house, y dark disco. La percusión orgánica, acompañada de un kick híbrido y un sub bass sincopado, establece una base sólida que invita a moverse.

Las pistas incluyen:

Aquelarre
Carne en Exposición
Derecho a Roce (Remastered)
Mujeres del Silencio
Whiskey y Bata Mojada
Isla de la Fantasía
Freelancer del Amor
Loop Infinito
Los sintetizadores modernos aportan armonías jazzy y melodías espaciales, mientras que los coros tribales y las capas de gospel añaden una profundidad emocional. Las texturas vocales muestreadas, junto con suaves adlibs, enriquecen la atmósfera sin dominar la narrativa musical.

La estructura del álbum es cuidadosamente elaborada, comenzando con una introducción amigable para DJs que presenta percusiones ligeras y texturas ambientales. A medida que avanzas, experimentarás un groove percutivo, un desglose melódico, y un emocionante "Sunset Drop" que te llevará a un Lounge Groove B antes de concluir con un clean-tail outro que deja una sensación de paz.

Con efectos sutiles como el susurro de la brisa del océano, el crackle de vinilo, y ecos espaciales, "Solo Yo Conmigo" evoca un estado de ánimo soulful, chilled, y místico. Este álbum es perfecto para esos momentos de introspección o para disfrutar en la playa al atardecer.

Sumérgete en esta experiencia musical y descubre la magia de "Solo Yo Conmigo".

=INTERVIEW=
Q1. How and where was the mix recorded? Could you tell us about the idea behind the mix?
This mix was recorded at one of our HAND parties, we recorded it on a Bozak with a 4 band isolator on the master output, no eq per channel…keeping it simple :) we also use some dorrough meters to keep the levels relatively constant.
The idea is to basically capture and hopefully express some of the magic we often experience at Have A Nice Day with the wonderful crowd and vibes. I think there’s something special that will always be felt in a mix if it is recorded at a party with 200 people enjoying themselves and certain freedoms instead of if it's recorded with us alone in a studio or in our living room.
　
Q1. 今回のミックスはどこでどのように収録しましたか？今回のミックスを作りあげる上でのアイデアがあれば教えてください
これは僕たちのHANDパーティーでレコーディングされたんだ。シンプルな方がいいからイコライザ―は使わず、Bozakとアイソレーター４つをマスターアウトに、レベルを出来るだけ一定に保つためにdorrough meterを使って録音したよ。
ミックスを作っていく上で僕たちはHANDでよく体験する魔法のようなものを表現したくて、200人以上の人が最高に楽しんでる中レコーディングされたこのミックスは普段スタジオで作ってるものと違って、時間が経ってもずっと特別に感じられるものになっていると思うよ。
