The double A-side EP, Hold Me, is Golden City Boy Raik's debut release. Raik founded the Hamburg-based label, Golden City Sounds, with German house legends Boris Dlugosch and Isi Tüfekci (otherwise known as one half of Digitalism) in March 2013. Hold Me is the label's third release, following Dlugosch's Look Around You single, featuring Roísín Murphy (Moloko), and Polargeist + Kruse + Nuernberg's Good Times, a deep house, feel-good anthem of the summer.

For the first track, Hold Me, Raik teamed up with Henri aka Henrietta Tiefenthaler, producer, DJ and also singer in the psychedelic Krautrock band Thrillionaire. With her romantic, dystopian lyrics, Henri's hypnotic vocal delivery gives an emotional depth to this slice of shimmery, pop-electronica.

The second track, La Musique, is a euphoric club tune, a perfect counterbalance to the more rhapsodic melancholia of Hold Me. With its hooky synth line, infectious groove, and sexy French spoken word vocal, its arrangement is flawless and guaranteed to suck you into its retro-futuristic world.

Raul Campos (KCRW): "Dig the Vocals"

Digitalism: "Super EP favorite"

Todd Edwards: "Love the track. And Henri's voice."

Cosmic Kids: "This Raik stuff is awesome. Henri sounds like a more feminine Nico. The production is so good on this."

Mario Basanov/Ten Walls: "Very nice!"

BBC6 Mix - Aus Music -Will Saul x Dusky x Midland B2B2B2B Mix

“I gathered about 50 tracks that I considered for the mix and then hand picked each one while watching ass clapping videos on YouTube. If the track flowed with the jiggle motion that I was watching on my laptop, I'd throw it in the crate that would then be used for the mix.”

And with that fine introduction from the man himself we present Jesse Perez on the Gangstercast.  Legend tells it that Jesse was born in a rundown motel in Little Havana (a small Latin neighbourhood in Miami) just minutes after being conceived. Son to a local pimp (who is oddly 10 years older than Jesse), Jesse was exposed to the art of Slangin' D as a young boy. His mother, who at that time was a stage dancer for a popular local rap group called the "2 Live Crew", would work many shows for these artists and would sneak Jesse in as often as she could. Jesse's first exposure to Bass Music and Ass Clapping made a huge impression on him. 

His influences dominate his take on being a House Gangster, “It's hard to describe it in one way. I think there are many different interpretations of it. Mine is "if it don't make that ass shake,it aint gangster". Its the last of the Mohicans. A movement of those who still do things because their passionate about it. Nothing short of that. “

On his mix, he adds. “I think this mix shows how I, as an artist, like to play House and bass records from a hip hop djs point of view. This mix showcases different styles of music, as well as technical things like scratching and transitioning through different genres. I have a bad case of A.D.D, so I can't play one sound for a long period of time. I like how a couple of the mixes are a pinch off beat. It just sounds natural to me. Everyone does these ableton mixes, it loses that real feeling. This mix is like buying a souvenir that was hand made. It has some imperfections but its awesome the way it is.”

Out of the Dark Hartekk Remix

This week we're pleased to present a mix from a guy we’ve been trying to pin down for a while now, Ruiari Kennedy aka @Klose-One, one of London’s finest selectors. Often described as a DJ’s DJ, his mixing skills and tune selections coupled with his control and composure behind the decks has garnered him respect from artists, producers and fans alike. A member of Leofah’s Swamp 81 crew and regular guest of Stanza’s Stripes Records, Klose’s DJ sets range from deep and upfront house, garage, techno and bass music through to the occasional bashment, ragga and soca.

Recently moving into the world of production, Klose One is set to release his debut EP in the near future, but now, ahead of his set at i-D Mix’s secret party in the woods at Bestival 2015, we welcome him into the mix for i-D. Warm up for the weekend, up the levels and hit play.

Klose One plays i-D Mix at Bestival, Sunday 13th September. To be in with a chance of winning 2x VIP tickets head ​here: http://bit.ly/1UC5Y3s

A true force in electronic music, the Kool FM resident has spent over two decades pushing boundaries across genres, and he’s just signed a major 2025 album deal with London Records.

Known for blending House, Techno, and Jungle influences - balancing underground credibility with broad appeal - Shadow Child has left his mark on both club culture and the mainstream. A former BBC Radio 1 and Rinse FM resident, his impact stretches far beyond the DJ booth. He’s played a key role in major hits, including the UK number one KDA’s ‘Rumble’, while also delivering cutting-edge releases on Shall Not Fade, Hot Creations, E-beamz, R&S, and Unknown to the Unknown.

With heavyweight support from Peggy Gou, Bonobo, Gerd Jansen and Carl Cox, 2025 is shaping up to be huge. His Jungle and Breakbeat-Rave inspired album drops late in the year, and we can’t wait for what’s next.
