Welcome to the first edition of Abode — a monthly mix series created to share both new and classic tracks through improvised and on the fly one-hour mixes.

Expect to hear tracks I listen to regularly, music I'm testing for my collection, and a selection of my own productions and collaborations.

Alan Key & Sokotta - Where You From (Extended Mix) [Jaded Recordings]

Brought to you by HOUSE OF HUSTLE on the new DIME$ compilation by ALAN KEY & SOKOTTA, “Yep” moves like a shadow on the dance floor — steady, hypnotic, and unhurried. We shaped it with a smooth bassline and crisp percussion that never demand attention but always hold it. It’s a track that lingers in the late hours, where minimal grooves stretch time and every detail feels alive.

Alan Key is the new alias of a seasoned producer Simon Sheppard whose electronic music career began in 2006. With a history of 30+ releases on a variety of globally respected labels, his productions have earned global support from BBC Radio 1 and multiple international DJs.

This fresh chapter is designed to set the tone for a tougher, groove-driven sound rooted in House, Minimal/Deep Tech and Tech House.

Beyond the studio, throughout his career Alan has DJ’d  across the world, performing in multiple countries and a wide range of venues — from intimate underground rooms to festival stages.

Let's go dancing.

Alan Key
