Refuge Worldwide: Plain Sailing Guest Mix

Plain Sailing channel the electrifying ethos of their party series in mix 072.

Andrew Moore and Peter Gibney are the duo behind Belfast rave crew Plain Sailing. Launched in October 2019 with their first party headlined by Valencia’s Pepe, Plain Sailing pride themselves on bringing international artists to the city for their debuts alongside bigging up local legends. The parties are as diverse as the sound that tunnels throughout the Belfast scene, putting on events that include everything from UKG back-to-backs, grime mash-ups, techno and DIY hip hop. Their guests include the likes of Mor Elian, Barker, Willow, Carlton Doom, Cailin, Holly Lester and more. 

With events on the back burner for now, the duo have expanded the Plain Sailing brand to incorporate a record label with releases from Son Zept, Buckfast Terror Squad and Kobina. They’ve also launched a feature element to their content, bringing a collection of opinion piece, artists interviews and round-ups.

Untitled 909 Podcast 072: Plain Sailing

This week on the FMB Mixtape Series, we welcome Plain Sailing, the Belfast-based DJ duo & party crew. First, we caught up with them to find out what they’ve been up to lately…

We’ve managed to keep ourselves fairly busy over lockdown – we launched our Plain Sailing zine as a way to stay connected to artists we love and also launched a PR agency here in Belfast – Harbour Music Society. It’s been great having an outlet and having the opportunity to still pursue our passion. It’s been a pretty stressful year nonetheless, but there’s finally a little more optimism in the air.

The mix was recorded in my (Pete) flat with the windows open and sun shining. It was recorded on a little pioneer controller, which has come in handy for recording mixes, not having to constantly borrow gear or head to a studio. 

We wanted to cram as many genres as we could in there and stuff you might hear at our parties. We have such a wide range of influences and we wanted to showcase that. The mix spans UK techno, breaks, garage, R&B and grime – even a cheesy edit or two. 

Up next…

We’ve just started planning our next run of gigs which we hope to be able to announce fairly soon and our PR agency and blog keeps us super busy. As much fun as it is, we miss the community aspect music has brought us and we just can’t wait to give all our mates a hug and get back to playing and putting on parties.

FMB MIXTAPE 166 | PLAIN SAILING

Belfast's Plain Sailing roll through with an hour of percussive dance music in anticipation of their first club set back in Belfast this September. Catch them playing at AVA Festival on Sep 25th.

In Plain Sailing's Words:
This mix is a representation of what we're into musically at the moment, with tracks from Ghost Phone, Overmono, Kettama and more. Clubs are still yet to open in Belfast, and with our first event back scheduled for September we wanted to capture all that breaksy, grimey energy that you can expect to hear at our parties.
