Guest Mixes

In anticipation of Love International 2022, we’re launching Transmission to Tisno – a b2b mix series featuring festival favourites and new artists locked in for this year’s fifth anniversary event.

Touching down with a bag of heavy-duty heaters, Manami and Tai Lokun position themselves at the intersection between house, techno and the broader brush strokes of percussion-driven material in this dynamic mix. A non-stop frenzy of dancefloor-certified cuts spun by a pair of future stars.

Transmission to Tisno: Manami b2b Tai Lokun

Settle into a new mix from DJ and Rinse FM resident Tai Lokun, whose housey two-hour set is giving us all the spring feelings the UK weather is sadly(but rather predictably)failing to provide – think warmth, groove and fun.

Crack Mix 494: Tai Lokun

Podcast 67 - Tai Lokun  

London-based DJ Tai Lokun is one of UK’s newest rising DJs and fresh faces on Rinse-FM. Her aim for this mix was to keep it fun and display the broad, yet connected genres she loves to play.   

She starts off the mix with uplifting classic-inspired house tracks, setting a positive and energetic tone. While floating subtly on these harmonics she twinkles the mind by blending it into deeper layers with dreamy breaks and Gqom inspired rhythms. It’s the starting point of an increased dose of energy as she injects hallucinative house while flirting with bouncing techno. She playfully twist styles, while maintaining a steady flow. Percussion, deep wobbly basslines and 90’s UK & Detroit inspired synths are the engine of her groove. But, don’t be fooled, in the final moments of the mix Tai Lokun has some gifts for you. These are for you to unwrap!

Joining us for Tapes #118 is Tai Lokun, one of the UK’s newest rising DJs.The London-based DJ has lived around the globe and brings many of her far reaching influences into her eclectic sets. Though her signature style involves gracefully weaving between genres, she finds her sweet spot in classic house, percussive drums, breaks and groovy techno.  When Tai is at a festival or a rave, her core goal is to always create fun, memorable moments for all those sharing the space with her.

Despite being a newcomer, Tai has played not only within Europe but as far as Bali and Singapore. The Rinse FM resident had a busy festival-filled season in 2023 where she played shows around Europe including the new The Levels stage, in Silver Hayes at Glastonbury, Gala festival and Dutch favourite, Draaimolen.

Origins Tapes 118 - Tai Lokun

Amazing DJ and party trooper: Tai Lokun with a burning mix. 
Played a fire set during pride in 2023 and now providing a bouncy mix shifting in between different moods and genre’s but with the constant factor of always making you smile and dance! Thanks a lot Tai! <3

Track highlight:
Toman - Dolce Far Niente 
I chose this track because it's a bouncy, groove-driven house roller that embodies the kind of energy I look for in my sets. Its natural swing makes it effortless to move to, creating an instant vibe. It’s the kind of track that subtly evolves, keeping the dance floor engaged without overwhelming the listener. 
The track's composition is refreshingly simple, which I really appreciate. 

What stands out to me is the tasteful use of stabbing synths, paired with a gradual decay that complements the deep, driving bassline. This combination really elevates the track, reinforcing the track's rhythm while adding texture, giving it that perfect balance of momentum and groove that makes it such a dance floor-ready track.
