Live from Lost Village - NIKS b2b Theo Kottis

House music seems to go through various trends, new iterations, reworks and phases. Jasper James has seen them come and go.

The Glaswegian DJ and producer was practically raised on the stuff, growing up around the Sub Club family and cutting his teeth at local parties and in small, dimly lit crowded basements long before it ever became ‘cool’ to be a DJ. His musical repertoire was taught by his father, Harri of Subculture fame. However his own ability to read a room and command a dancefloor remains very much his own.

Over the years he has evolved beyond the Glasgow underground playing globally and receiving acclaim before going on to release music on Optimo Trax, ESP Institute, No Art and Steel City Dance Discs amongst others.

This mix showcases his versatility in the booth as he weaves between shades of house music – demonstrating a deep rooted knowledge and respect for the origins of the genre.

Jasper James: The Ransom Note Mix

Tracklist + Q&A: https://bit.ly/3IAknTi

Edinburgh-born, London-based DJ and producer @theokottis delivers a no-nonense mix inspired by the abiding energy of a sun-drenched festival season.

"I recorded this just a few days after getting back from Glastonbury, so I was still riding that post-festival wave of energy. I had those sunny, late-afternoon slots in mind – when the vibe starts building and everyone’s locked into the groove. It’s a straight-up, no-nonsense mix with longer blends and a few tracks that have become staples in my peak-time sets."

In This House

The Bleep goes on

Recording of @call-super & @shanticeleste's set at Lente Kabinet Festival 2019.

"The first (and probably only) recording of us playing together. After a delayed flight Shanti arrived 5 minutes before the start of the closing set for the Tweede Kamer on Saturday. It felt whirlwindy and the crowd didn't seem to want us to get too settled. The Beautiful Swimmers had already cued it up for a lively closing, and it all seemed to just fly into something special. Thanks to everyone involved, CS + SC."
