Name: Nick The Record: The Ransom Note Mix by Ransom Note in Mixes
Duration: 1 h 15 min 57 s
Description: This week's Ransom Note Mix comes courtesy of vinyl addict and disco connoisseur Nick the Record. Frankly, what he doesn't know about crate digging isn't worth knowing. Unsurprisingly, his mix is jam packed with obscure gems and incredible sounds - we've had it on in the office all morning and now it can be the perfect accompaniment to your day as well.

Loving this space jam at 7 mins, it's groovy

Mixes

Our first mix for Autumn comes from Wolverhampton’s very own Mark E - @merc_music

Mark E cut his teeth on deep and chugging disco edits but soon moved on to his own original productions with albums on Ghostly Music’s ‘Spectral Sound’ and a slew of EP’s to boot. His latest EP 'In the city' is out now on 18437.

We’re excited to share this mix with you, it’s deep, building and hypnotic and we’ve been jamming to it on repeat since it landed on our desk. We hope you like it as much as we do!

In his own words: “The mix was recorded at home featuring music I’ve been listening to over the lockdown period with elements of dub, jazz and deep house; with new material from myself, Moritz von Oswald, Theo Parrish, Ian Obrien, Gifted and Blessed, Azymuth, Specter and lots more.; the second half heavily influenced by the deeper house sound I really love.”

Thank you Mark!

Shinnoskey Chida, Dj Chida or simply Chida has been (and stil is) one of the most representatives institutions of the underground house scene in Tokyo for more than 30 years. Starting his career in the early 90's, he is one of those "Dj's Dj", flattered along his career by artists from the likes of Andrew Weatheral, Lindstrom, Mark E and Dr Dunks among many others.

Chida's producing and remixing skills are out of any doubt, in his career has worked with imprints like "Correspondant", "Not and Animal", and "Eskimo"to name a few, here at MM Discos we also have had the pleasure to have him as a remixer doing his thing with Coyote's Fragnatize me, track that for sure its burning many dancefloors  right now around the world.

"Ene Records" capo join us this month and we are amazed to introduce this obsessed music collector who has given his best by digging in his vast collection in order to deliver a very special mix where Balearic classics fusions along with underrated sounds from the always quality underground Japanese scene.

Long life to Dj Chida!!

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.

One of the many Japanese guests who traveled far to join the Rainbow Disco Club x Somewhere In Amsterdam evening dance, was Kikiorix. During that evening he blessed us with two hours of Japanese rarities and much more. A beautiful set of music that we're happy to share here.

Kikiorix is Tresvibes' resident DJ. He is mainly active in Japan, but his style has been influenced due to playing out in east London in the earlier days.

Avid record collector, sublime DJ & a HORST favorite, that’s San Soda. The Belgian Berliner drifts seamlessly through genres and always mixes carefully chosen gems with classic house and techno with a rough, Chicago and Detroit bent. 

Yet, this summery mix from funk to soul is something else. It taps into what makes him special: he allows music to play out as it was intended, always with an underlying sense of cohesion. 

San Soda closes down HORST on Saturday 8th of September.

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...

mad miran: The 'Wednesday Alternative' Mix

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.
