I played some tunes for Refuge Radio the night before my Panorama Bar gig in March 2022. Plenty of downtempo deepness and soul & Gospel vibes on this 2 hour mix, a warmup for Berghain weekender! Enjoy!

Gideon Live: Refuge Radio Berlin March 2022

Raw recording on Thursday 19th January 2023, great fun night full of optimism and top class music live @ Café Bakeliet, Rotterdam, Netherlands. What an amazing bar vibe and record store Micha has created there since I last saw him in his native Amsterdam in 2019! It's really worth a visit for anyone.

Picture taken out of a taxi window in downtown Rotterdam on my way to see Micha, where he awaits spinning delicious, trippy trip-hop vibes on a wooden stool. Perfect craft beers, cloudy Dutch wines and other local delights were served up over the 3 hours, amid philosophical chats about life, earth, geopolitics, the end etc... don't expect the smoothest of mixing. You can't have it all!! 🤣 

The next night I was very happy to meet Alessandro Crimi and Ruben from Stately Records there for some drinks and spliffs before the Saturday session where we all descended upon Amsterdam to see, hear and feel the amazing event with https://soundcloud.com/dubtommy1, https://soundcloud.com/statelymusic, https://soundcloud.com/alessandro_crimi and https://soundcloud.com/rogergerressen.

Actually, near the end of this mix I managed to play 2 Stately Records to mark the occasion - one by https://soundcloud.com/alessandro_crimi and another by https://soundcloud.com/lunaludmila 🙌

"When Bleep.com asked me to contribute a mix to their series in honour of the publication of the new edition of my book Join The Future: Bleep Techno and the Brith of British Bass Music, I quickly decided that I wanted to showcase my love of bleep & bass old and new, but also throw in sub-heavy cuts made at different points since the ‘90s – after all, one of the key arguments in the book is that bleep had a profound impact on the future direction of British dance music. The new afterword chapter, written last autumn, also references the recent wave of revivalist bleep productions, so I wanted to give a flavour of those too.

So, there are important innovators (Unique 3, Nightmares on Wax, LFO, and Sweet Exorcist), overlooked or under-celebrated acts (Rhythmatic, Tomas), a nod to the short-lived NYC bleep and breakbeat hardcore scene (How & Little), a couple of sub-heavy 1990 workouts from London (Moody Boys, the Leftfield produced ‘Difference’ by Djum Djum), a dash of bleep & breaks (Bass Culture, an early Rennie Pilgrem project), recent revivalist bleep cuts (DAWL, iNFO, Dan Piu, Tom Carruthers), some mid-90s Brummie dub house (Rockers HiFi), sub-heavy 21st century workouts (SuPaFiX, Toddla T remixing Working Men’s Club, Bakey), tons of my own re-edits (over the years I’ve amassed a sizable library of ‘Join The Future edits’ as I call them) and even a completely unreleased (though re-edited) Tuff Little Unit track, ‘Blow Up The System’. Oh, and the crazy dancefloor dub that is Alfanso’s Rob Gordon-produced ‘Dub Feels Nice (Version 4)’, which is exclusively available on the Join The Future:UK Bleep & Bass 88-91 compilation on JD Twitch’s Cease & Desist label (which is, of course, available via bleep.com).

In order to accommodate both original records and digital tracks (particularly the edits), it was mixed on two turntables connected to a DVS box." - Matt Anniss

With a record collection spanning decades, genres and continents, Gilles Peterson was a no-brainer for our deep listening event with Asahi Super Dry at East London's Brilliant Corners.

A live recording of the late Alex T, from Pleasure Club on 18th October 2019 at The Lion & Lamb.

Ahead of his debut at fabric this weekend, on 28th January 2020 we learned the terribly sad news that Alex T had passed away at the age of 25. 

Alex was the quintessential unsung hero of our scene. He worked behind the counter at Tribe Records in Leeds, hosted a show on Rinse FM, promoted a party called On Rotation (which was soon to become a label), was a regular at all the festivals as a punter or artist, and was also a really incredible DJ as this mix will testify.

Our birthday celebrations are now dedicated to his memory. For all three parties we will hold him close to our hearts and celebrate him through the music. Alex was really excited to play at fabric, and he will. During what would have been his set time (12-1am) we will play this recording of his appearance at Pleasure Club from last year which perfectly showcases his incredible skills behind a pair of turntables.

Alex, your memory will undoubtedly live on. The countless lives you touched through the music will go on for eternity and we will be thinking of you every step of the way. Thank you for everything. <3
