Jex Opolis - Keep It Deep Guest Mix

Pretty much every music producer or DJ will cite Hardcore as having some sort of influence on them at some point. You can hear it clearly in the music Mumdance makes. Bringing the sound back with a very, very special hour long mix, this is Mumdance's Music to make you Hardcore. Press play and turn it up. Lively!!

"Hardcore was my first proper musical love, my mates older brother lent me a Hectic Records / Fusion tape pack when I was about 12 & literally as soon as I heard it I was hooked. Doing this mix for i-D was a lot of fun as it gave me a chance to re visit and spend some time with my old record collection. I decided not to go for the most refined “headz” selection, but instead opt for the ones which brought me the happiest memories. Ive erred towards the 1993 - 1994 ‘proto' era when Hardcore was starting to split up into what would become Jungle on the one side and the other side of things Happy Hardcore. "

Mumdance: Music To... Make You Hardcore

Dan Shake has achieved what no other has in over a decade: with his debut release in the music world, he's become the very first producer without Detroit heritage or residency to land a release on Moodymann's prestigious record label Mahogani Music. Based in London, the former Leeds student secured the feat in a charmingly anachronistic fashion: having just watched Kenny Dixon Jr perform alongside the 3 Chairs at Dimensions Festival, Dan simply handed over a demo CD with a collection of unreleased tracks. Moodymann was hooked instantly, taking the first plunge on welcoming an outsider into his tight-knit crew of Detroit strong artists. 
Citing influence from the rhythms of Afrobeat pioneers, the soul-drenched sampling of J Dilla and the dense grooves laid out by contemporary producers such as Flying Lotus, Dan's situation in winding up on a label renowned for encompassing all those traits is a blessing for the young producer.

With a current release on Days Of Being Wild featuring fellow DJ and friend Morgan Hammer, the Mexican DJ/Producer is riding high, making the move to Barcelona to explore all that Europe has to offer. Keeping busy with upcoming EP's with labels Have A Killer Time and Nein plus a selection of remixes, mixes and compilations in the making, we'd say you'll be hearing a lot more of Lokier.

Cristiano Feleppa is one of the figureheads behind the Slow Motion Records label which is based upon Italian foundations in the heart of New York City. As a DJ, he stands tall in his own right and we were thrilled when he offered us the opportunity to feature one of his mixes on site. This is a two plus hours extravaganza which he has titled as "_NOTHING_ a trip between Usa and Italy". It's colourful, exciting ane enigmatic, much like Cristiano's character himself.

Sling & Samo are the exiting duo behind the Born Free record label which resides in Stockholm. Over the last few years the pair have been releasing a vast array of weird, wonderful, oddball music: some built for the dancefloor and some certainly not. The pair are colourful characters who don't take themselves or what they do too seriously. Samo is also well known in his own right as a producer and dj having released music for the likes of LIES, The Trilogy Tapes and Public Possession but together with Sling the pair enter a new realm of musical exploration. We asked them to record a mix for us.

As one of the leading figures behind Multi Culti and Turbo Recordings, Thomas Von Party finds himself in a rather envious position. As a DJ he has played a significant and important role in the Montreal club scene, in 2014 he opened a club, Datcha, which has since gone on to find critical acclaim for its diverse music policy and its cultural benefits to the city. In 2013 he co founded the Multi Culti label alongside Dreems, it is set to release a compilation series titled 'Sun Gaze / Moon Faze' which features a great breadth of music from artists including Moscoman, Manfredas, Kris Baha and more. Von Party himself will also feature having recently begun to dabble in the world of production following an extensive and formative number of years spent DJ'ing around the world.

TECH-O-DISCO (apr 09)

Stepping up, stepping in, we have the one and only Italian man living in Spain who makes music. I mean, that's probably a lie, there's probably a few, but none of them do it quite like Ransom Note family member Bawrut. 'Ciquita' has gone down rather well having been supported by the likes of Optimo, Jackmaster and beyond... We caught up with our friend for a dear chat and a mix in contribution to the Ransom Note mix series.

Bawrut - The Ransom Note Mix

There is a distinctive blend evolving from the Turkish underground at present. Electronic music at a crossover with folk, funk and disco is the flavour of the day with artists such as Khidja, Mehmet Aslan, Red Axes and more finding themselves inspired by something which sits somewhere in between a range of inspirations and sounds. Ave Astra lives in Istanbul and finds himself an active member amongst this genre crushing scene. He has recorded a Turkish inspired mixtape ahead of his release on his own Roit Recordings.

"Big thanks to the @Robot-Heart family for having me on board their magical bus during Further Future 002. It was truly an honor to perform for such a wonderful group of people, from the music lovers on the dance floor, to the team who made this special weekend possible. Lots of love to you all." @goldcap

Amidst the outback of the African landscape lay a great hill. A terrific hill, Nyeri hill. It could be seen poking its head above the clouds as planes looked down on the golden textured landscape below. Wild animals pranced between the long grass at its foot, it cast a bold shadow over the countryside, it rumbled and roared. It was unlike any hill before, again, and future. 

Here is the latest release from Maurice Puls who delivers two heavy hitting tribal tracks for Quadrants. They pack quite the punch, club ready material.

Crack Mix 112 - Marvin & Guy

Straight outta Adelaide and straight off Warren Raww's upcoming EP, 'Ross', coming through your speakers courtesy of Manchester based label, Natural Sciences. We premiere the first track straight off the release, Gringos Tropicana.

With that recognisable, woozy, sound that's been making it's way over from Australia via Raww amongst many others(think Mall Grab, Mic Mills, Francis Inferno Orchestra), 'Ross', as a whole, is an compilation of lo-slung, exotic sounding grooves to get down to. 

Gringos Tropicanas spells out non-chalant boogie from the off. Straight in, no fucking about. Listen to this and you'll be rapidly transported and moving involuntarily in Warren Raww's lo-fi tropical ravine.

Listen below, but first, take heed of the Gospel according to Warren Raww himself: "Grab your mates, and let Warren make you feel real hott when you sippin' that Ross which is oh so cold. Trakz strictly for Garden use only".

The official, digital release of Ross is 27th May, with vinyl release to be confirmed. Natural Sciences will host their first label night in London on the 4th of June.

In 2011 Brian d'Souza released his first EP on Glasgow based record label Huntleys & Palmers, this was to be the debut of Auntie Flo. Some five years later his musical progression has evolved substantially. Last year saw him release the critically acclaimed 'Theory Of Flo' accompanied by a brand new live show. His sounds sees him dabble between the crossovers of world music, dance and balearic obscurity. He captures a sun kissed sound which you would certainly not associate with the bleak and rainy forecast which so often swamps Glasgow. He steps up to deliver us over an hour of percussion, exclusives, earthly samples and beyond: a real treat.

We revisit the best moments of Worldwide Festival Sète 2017, including the best and most talked about live performances and DJ sets of the event.

Auntie Flo lays out his signature blend of danceable world rhythms and afro-house.

Auntie Flo at Worldwide Festival Sète 2017

Expect the unexpected. That's the philosophy Rotterdam-based DJ mad miran promotes in her DJ sets. A regular on the Dutch capital's mainstay Red Light Radio and a face behind the counter at the infamous Clone record shop, Miran has fast become one of the country's most promising DJs. 

Although she only played her first DJ set in a club a couple of years ago, she's already landed a residency at Trouw successor De School and become part of the Strange Sounds From Beyond family, seeing her name spread like wildfire and lead to a string of gigs across Europe.

We invited her to dive into her record bag for us and the result is 80 minutes of leftfield electro, raw breaks and introspective electronica. Enter into the crazy world of mad miran...

Amsterdam has been graced with a fearsome array of fabulous selectors and disc jockeys in recent times, the city is abuzz with experimental music and talent. 

Orpheu The Wizard has been a pivotal figure in the development of the scene, crucially helping to nurture new faces through his key role as a co founder of Redlight radio - a distinctive platform which has acted as a gateway and an open door to a new wave of music, producers and dj's. 

His own background is well versed, he's earnt his stripes and played the long game building a respectable array of musical knowledge and selective talent which he uses to entice and delight crowds across Europe and beyond. Eclectic, far reaching and multi purpose - his sets often run wild across a sprawling spectrum of sound. 

This year he will play at Love International festival, an appearance which should not be missed.

Step back, this is a big one. 

Across the past couple of decades there have been very few who can attest as much influence as that of Joakim, a singular producer who has been charted as an influential figure by many of the leading producers and disc jockeys in the present.

The French outsider has amassed a notorious reputation for his eclectic style as a disc jockey and producer having released music on the likes of Versatile, Kitsuné Music, Life And Death, Crosstown Rebels and beyond. As the founder behind Tigersushi Records and Crowdspacer he has been responsible for leading a new generation of talent into the dance and has played a key role in the future development of dance and electronic music. 

As an individual his own take on music is wide and vast, not one to shy away from the alternative or experimental he has done well to channel a sprawling array of style, genre and sound across his own lengthy career and in all honesty Joakim continues to surprise and intrigue with delight. 

A Dj's dj, he is a firm favourite and we welcome him as part of the series.
