Based in Stockholm since the late 1990s, British-born Mark Seven began his obsession with the dance at now vaunted London parties such as Delirium, to a soundtrack of Soul, Funk, and Hip Hop. As Acid House took root in the capital Mark became a regular at the similarly hallowed Future and Shoom and started organizing his own events. His passion for discovery led him to journey to the U.S. and Europe to source vinyl, and has resulted in his own on-line store, JusWax. In Stockholm Mark set up the Black Lodge all-nighters, mix-tapes from which helped to alert the outside world to his knowledge and ability. 

Mark is probably one of the best selectors around and is making a journey over here next month (details of that here: http://on.fb.me/1dwxT5v). 

With that in min we thought it was high time we asked him to formulate a mix for the R$N series.

35 alive shines an incredible hour of summer feelers thanks to @nevena-jeremic that we've been dying to get on the waves. Speaking of waves, this mix will have you dreaming of them as your next summer vacay rolls around. Nevena's been making waves as well... all across Europe, & we were fortunate to get acquainted over some hot nights at Piña festival together this year. Enjoy this one whenever, wherever!

Mix 2025

We're already thinking ahead to sunrises in The Fields this year. Imagining the connections. Feeling the vibrations. 

But before we look ahead, let's take a moment to reflect.

Danilo Plessow aka MCDE brought groove to Solar Village last year. His signature genre-blending and analog warmth carried us through deep rhythms and unexpected turns—a soulful sunrise still replaying in our heads.

With love until the grave.
