“Gigs are like taking drugs”, dameeeela laughed.

“Whenever I don’t have a big gig, I’m fiending for a big gig. When I’m depressed I’m like 'oh this is the worst job.' I’ll get a call the next day which will be like 'do you want to go on tour with Fred Again?', and everything’s fine.”

In this mix, @dameeeela brings a blend of hard hitting club energies that she's become synonymous with across the country. She is @mixmaganz's first ever Cover Artist.

Drumatick -  Moonwalk (Original Mix) [Toxic Recordings]

The champagne-tinged, Moschino clad sound of UKG may have filled the clubs and late-night bars of London from the late-90s and went on to become a cornerstone of British dance music, but at the turn of the millennium over in Hamburg, Ostgut Ton’s Nick Höppner was pioneering the sound in a city known for it's techno. At the time, Höppner formed part of the UKG crew Tune, picking up rare records and dubplates in London and throwing weekly garage raves in Hamburg’s red light district.

Decades have passed since that time of Hennessey fuelled revelry. Höppner has gone on to become a linchpin of Berlin’s underground and is now fronting a new label imprint Touch From A Distance. But UKG never dies, and thanks to a rediscovered plastic bag full of minidiscs nearly 20 years old we have Höppner’s Y2K mix, a rarely heard homage to garage grooves from the German selector that pays tribute to this foundation sound. Pull up.

Nick: "I‘ve recently borrowed a minidisc player from a friend and went through a plastic bag full minidiscs, which has previously collected the dust of seven different flats since the turn of the millennium. Amongst them I found this mix here which I must have recorded at some point in 2000 in my Hamburg bed room. At that time I’ve been part of the Tune crew and we were running a weekly UK Garage night at the Lounge, a club in the heart of Hamburg’s redlight district. I was also still working as a music journalist for Groove Magazine and going to London frequently, where I had access to a lot of UKG records which never even made it out of the UK (or London). Stupidly, though, I sold the biggest chunk of that collection sometime in 2006, but here is a little time capsule documenting my (ongoing) love for this music. Enjoy!"
