Former Chicagoans and current Berliners unite! Jacob Meehan joins me this month with a fun n funky set of house and more. Jacob is one of the forces behind the incredible Buttons party here in Berlin, and plays the first hour of this show.

Olin's World - 5 Feb 2023 wsg Jacob Meehan

After D Hux (@dominic-huxley) absolutely smashed warm-up duties at one of our first ever Whomps, founder Annx (@anna-rose-wirth) invited him on the ‘Sound of Whomp’ to show us what he’s got deep in his collection. 


One third of Pala Sounds party crew and mastermind behind Quarantine Vibe Checks, D Hux has put together an hour vinyl-only mix inspired by “the peak time slot bag” — selected perfectly to see in the sunrise. Tuck in to this deliciousness.

Zaltsman knows a thing or two about what sets off the dance floor. Whether it's behind the decks, in the studio or as a curator, the London-based artist has a knack for getting bodies moving. 

His own productions for the likes of Dansu Discs, Silver Bear and Cross Country are characterised by crisp percussion and infectious rhythms, plus he's a real dab hand at flipping a classic for the club.

Over the last few years his music has been getting props left, right and centre, becoming a staple in the sets of DJs like Midland, Ben UFO and Moxie, and we imagine it'll be no different for his next release, You Fly, So Do We.

The EP inaugurates the brand new label arm of his long running party series Emergency Room. Since 2017 they've been throwing events across London, Bristol and Brighton, inviting artists like Overmono, Call Super, Leon Vynehall and Eliza Rose to join them.

He takes care of this week's Shine A Light On mix with a blend of shuffling, percussive, rhythmic delights that would set the off the dance.

Kitsta invited Naarm-based selector DJ Niamh for a power hour of psychedelic and leftfield trance. Cutting her teeth across the community radio airwaves, DJ Niamh's sound takes particular focus on percussive, trancy and leftfield sounds.

DMX Krew - 19 August 2023

"This mix is for the dancers who were in Laika for my set at Field Maneuvers this summer. There were technical issues with the sound recording for some of the sets (including mine) so I’ve re-recorded it for this mix. It’s hard to capture the same energy and I think that some of these tracks work better in a live context but I wanted to have a sonic reminder of this special moment and share it here. I was asked to do this mix off the back of that festival so it made sense for it to have its home on Mantissa <3"

Prayer Handz - Needed U

https://threethousand.co.uk/prayer-handz-needed-u

We continue our deep dive into the darker corners of the UK Bass sound with this latest drop from Prayer Handz, who unleashes a beautifully emotive original, perfectly encapsulating the essence of what 3000 Bass is all about through rich layers of atmosphere and subtle rhythmic design.

From the jump ‘Needed U’ is engulfed by hazy pads and smooth synth textures that gradually build momentum, leading to a drum drop wash packed with crisp percussion and warm sub pressure. That soulful vocal then provides the final dash of seasoning, rendering this as a track that embodies the sonic we love. We can’t wait to bring it into the world!
