Mixes 2024

We're taking a trip back to summer with this recording from Huerta's sublime 2 hour set, supplying the soundtrack to a bustling beach stage dance floor on the final night of Dimensions 2022. 

Recorded as part of the VBX & Slapfunk takeover, Monday 5th September 2022.

Can You Jigit founding member Tomas Station has a different eye to most. His descriptive mixing style ensures that this Colombian says exactly what he wants to say through his music. An artist that has dived straight into the consciousness of the underground as a result of his residency for New York stalwart ReSolute, his own productions, the utterly outrageous Can You Jigit events, spotlight sets for some of the best sounding dancefloors in the world, wait, we’ve ran out of fingers. 

Here he flexes his undeniable Latin American lineage with wave after wave of off kilter gems that not just rattle the speakers vibrate the soul. With no irony whatsoever Tomas Station operates on a different plane with his track selection. Gritty house dovetails to Cumbia, while whipped minimal grooves are segued smoothly into ambient tones. There is a serious telling of a story afoot in this mix, that even goes for how the mix was even recorded. 

So, the story goes, not ones to miss an opportunity for a good party, while recording this mix at Why Not Club in Zanzibar they opened the club just for this occasion. What started as a completely empty club soon grew into an impromptu rave with people enjoying a magical unplanned moment. We have a funny feeling that their set at Sophie in Malaga will be full on vibes from the very beginning...

We finish our Live at Dimensions 2022 series with something truly special - a live mix from Raresh’s closing set last year. 

Those who know one of Romania's finest DJ's will appreciate how much of a rarity this is, with only a handful of his mixes online over the past three decades.

"When I was asked to play Hot Mass with Vladimir Ivkovic, I felt a genuine sense of honor and trust. I knew that with 3.5 hours I could really DIG in and curate a set that would express a broad range of my musical influences, while also setting the stage for his masterful and multifaceted style, which I have always deeply admired him for. 

From the stark reality of Muslimguaze's Khan Younis, the hypnotic sounds of Tolouse Low Trax, a 90's Holger Czukay remix, Danny Brown instrumental, 3rd CDJ psychosis, a Madonna edit, loooong blends, industrial rhythms, interludes, jack trax, happy accidents 😅, psychedelic Bay Area bangers, and resetting the room at peak time—this mix is a sonic tapestry that I'm incredibly proud to share.

Immense gratitude to the Detour crew - Alex, Gusto, Naeem, and Allison for embracing my vision, Hot Mass for hosting, all the friends who showed up, and the talented producers/musicians whose work is embedded in this mix!" -@teeyam

I started listening to ambient music properly during lockdown as a way of trying to heal from heartbreak as well as a coping mechanism to deal with what was going on around the world. I was pulling together playlists of tracks that made my heart sing or weep, to soundtrack my daily walks around the canals of berlin or the quiet residential area where i grew up and ended up moving back to. These playlists were the start of the sounds of healing series and my journey of digging deeper into ambient soundscapes via my refuge worldwide residency. It’s a genre that I probably would say I have the biggest emotional connection to right now, in the way that it has helped me through some really difficult times in the last four years. So it was an honour to bring this to the club space for the first time for playbody 002, a party run by some of my wonderful  friends. Sounds of healing vol. 5 is a glimpse of what I played during that after hours set, in what became one of the most beautiful settings with the lights dimmed, a candlelight by the decks, people curled up with each other on various platforms, kissing, or deep in conversation. It was touching to witness people have the same emotional reaction to the music as me; people coming up and saying how a track or artist had saved their life or that they just wanted to have this personal moment with the music, away from the conversation. It was deeply vulnerable to play some of these tracks to a group of people, some being strangers but it very much aligns with the journey I’ve been on recently. And with this mix, I’m not only sharing that moment with you but I’m bottling up this feeling and keeping it close to me forever.

VC-118A - Liveset Tresor - 20.01.2024

In very loose terms, James K's (@jamesk_1) music operates at the fringes of the pop world. It is experimental and industrial, packed with hooks and riddled with dreamy textures that show off her mastery of synths. She has released it in album form with Dial and Incenso, dropped EPs on AD 93 and collaborated with the likes of Drew McDowall and Stefan Maie, and always manages to imbue her adventurous arrangements with real-world emotions and anxieties. This year she will join us at Dekmantel Festival but not before serving up this week's podcast.

It's the sort of rhythmically thrilling workout that has always stood James apart: jittery drum patterns and kinetic grooves that unfold at 100 miles an hour as a barrage of caustic motifs, hypnagogic melodies and hyper-real colours all bounce about the mix. There is an ever-present sense of tension in the way things are assembled - it's as if they might implode or explode at any minute, and it all sounds fantastically futuristic.
