For the next entry in the Sorted Series we are very pleased to release a mix from Chicago's Chris Widman. Chris, as some of you know, played for Sorted way back at Sorted 3 with Hodge, Call Super & Dean Grenier. Chris, in addition to being a Smart Bar resident, also hosts the weekly WLUW radio show @abstractscience , going strong since 1997. 

Chris has been our friend & fellow traveler for nearly 25 years, and this mix demonstrates the depth of his immersion in dance music culture with skill & aplomb, guiding the listener on a trip across a landscape that Sorted fans know well: from house to techno to dubstep to the broken beats of Bristol, it goes deep and hard and, like a Sorted party, ends with a proper rinse-out.
This is an absolutely killer mix, from a true selector who has lived & breathed this music for decades. We are proud to release it, and we are proud to call Chris our friend.

James Hayford makes music under a variety of names: chunky, funky edits as a part of the Shoes Crew, dark and heavy ethnic beats with Broken Compass and also runs the edits/remix label Plimsoll Records, and does remixes and other work as Earwig. 
The Earwig solo palette includes elements of afro-latin, dub, and techy future vibes. Recent remixes for Tal M. Klein "House on the Left" and the Automats "Pass Me By" showcase this sound.
