The next instalment of our mix series comes back with an incredible hour of shimmering trance and invigorating euphony, delivered by @kitsta_dj, an exceptional selector hailing from Yorkshire but based in London. Kitsta's dynamic mixing approach and diverse range of influences have established her presence on prominent radio stations like Balamii and Voices, along with guest appearances on Rinse. Beyond her DJ endeavours, she has founded her own label called 'Megababes' and is also a co-founder of The Beatriarchy, a platform that promotes artists from underrepresented backgrounds.


'I recorded this hungover on a Sunday and I think the first half of this mix definitely reflects this with a dark, psychedelic warm up. The latter half is full of groovers and a forthcoming one from me. Hope you enjoy ❤️'

The Cap Boy’s First-Ever Podcast!

We’re thrilled to present The Cap Boy’s debut this Thursday, February 6th, at Les Enfants. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in store for the night.

Talking about The Cap Boy means talking about rhythm and fun. Through his music, he perfectly captures the essence of DSS! 

He’s already delivered a hit, One Night Stand, for our label, and we’re working on another release that’s set to be a game-changer!

1. How and where was the mix recorded?

I recorded this mix in the studio I have in Valencia. To be honest, it’s the first time I’ve recorded, and I wanted it to be something less experimental and more energetic.

2. Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?
My main idea behind this mix was to give it my absolute identity. I love the electronic era of the 2000s, as well as groove and energy. I wanted to convey a bit of what my sets are usually like in Valencia’s clubs.

3. What are you up to next? Projects, ideas…

My upcoming projects include productions that I’ll release on my own and a very special collaboration for the Días De Campo album, which will be out in May. As for my goals as an artist, they are to move beyond Valencia and be able to play all over the world, sharing my musical vision and my essence.

4. Lastly, for you what is Dance, Shake, Swing!?

For me, Dance, Shake, Swing! conveys everything I love about electronic music: energy, innovation, and passion for this world. It’s a project led by two people who have given me the opportunity to grow, and I believe it will expand greatly thanks to the passion and dedication they are putting into it!

You can only let go what you’re trying to hold onto. Once you accept this stream of audible emotions you start floating along, your body starts moving, your mind is empty as you’re full of sounds, vibrations and energies. They start to build feelings within you. Your mind is wandering and usually you get stuck with those thoughts coming up - not anymore. They come and go, just as the waves of sound surrounding you. 
Thabo represents the caring warmth of house with the influence of a golden spring setting slowly - please just imagine how silky it will appeal to your soul. 

Listening to Thabo’s ESD mixtape reminds me of the feeling when I discovered clubbing at Hoppetosse and Heideglühen - just getting lost in and between the sounds being played, absolutely fascinated by the DJ’s craft of mixing and the mastered approach of creating space, by feeling, reflecting and expressing. So much finesse and detail captured in a complex variety of elements playing together. 

And Thabo is a master of his craft - this is what I imagine a good soul appears like, and this is just a try to get as close as possible to describe what his mixtape does with me. Your perception must be far away from what I am experiencing right now. Treat yourself. Have your own experience. Get lost and find yourself. Listen yourself and be fluid. 
Publishing such a first class mixtape of an established artist within the house community makes us very proud and we’re more than grateful for our journey until this day. 

Big up for embracing the journey of house and serving the community as you do! We appreciate it a lot! 

Thank you, Thabo!

Flip The Lid w/ Matchbox - 07.02.25

Get2kno live 2.0 b2b with Josh CK is up for your listening pleasure…! The theme for this month is ‘I wish I was at Glasto’, the fomo hit HARD this year but we were happy to transport the listeners to the field for an hour of club-ready tunes that were farm-worthy (see what I did there?). 

Starting off at 134bpm it’s a journey of acid, trance, 90s sleaze, breaks, jersey club ending with some grab-your-friend-for-a-cuddle dubs of classics. It wasn’t a planned show and I was especially excited to get to play D Tyrone’s dreamy Mala edit that I’ve been obsessed with for ages but haven’t had a chance to play! Also features brand spankin new goodness from the incredible Amaliah and Om Unit.

We had some technical issues at the start so the mic intro is a tad late and a bit messy, forgive us and blame the gremlins! Also some silly chat about how to pronounce Pangaea and whether the Horny Mix featured was horny enough for our liking.

Other tracks in the mix by Jay Gardian, Kinky Plants, James Pepper, Hodge & Carolyn Harding, Sam Alfred, Hi-Lux and more.

PS. pic is a San Remo throwback to Glasto 2023, got everything crossed for 2027... xoxo
