This week we welcome Cedric Lassonde aka Cedric Woo, a DJ, digger, label owner and party host. Born in France but now residing in London.

A lover of all things cosmic, deep, organic & tropical, Cedric is well known & respected for his deep selections of world music as well as throwing some of the best grassroots resident parties in London. He is also closely affiliated to the likes of Brilliant Corners & Giant Steps and will be playing Houghton Festival this weekend!

Alongside Belle Bete and Jeremy Gilbert, Ced is founder and musical host at Beauty & the Beat a party which has been running since 2005. The party has an open minded approach to musical styles and is known for its excellent analogue sound system- in fact it’s the UK’s longest running monthly "audiophile" party and holds David Mancuso and his Loft party as key inspirations. 

Since 2018 Ced has also been running a sister party known as All Our Friends alongside Belle Bete and author, Tim Lawrence who is also behind the Lucky Cloud Soundsystem party! Their next party is 10th September - check their site out for details.

When not spinning records, Ced co runs the Beauty & the Beat label and has also released some of his own edits on there. He curates records for labels such as Kay Suziki’s superb Time Capsule label with his latest output being the Lèspri Ka compilation which is a beautiful collection of  Gwo Ka music from Guadeloupe, check it out via their bandcamp if you haven’t already.

For this mix Ced has recorded a 2 hour excursion into the world of pan-African, Caribbean & Afro-cosmic world music, recorded at his home listening lounge using 2x 1210s and a E&S DJR 400 mixer.

suoni n.3 _ Kay Suzuki

We are delighted to have the superbly talented Kay Suzuki join us for the 27th mix in our Transmissions From Space series. He has blown us away on countless occasions and countless dancefloors over the years, from one of the best sets we've been lucky enough to host at our own party in Sheffield, to packed festival stages at the likes of We Out Here, and special selections at London's audiophile spots Brilliant Corners and the superb hi-fi party Beauty & the Beat.

Kay's ability to traverse musical boundaries within the context of a dancefloor is very special indeed. There's an underlying influence of jazz & funk that's ever present through his meandering sets, but the scope of his collection and tastes belies those expectations, and absolutely destroys any dancefloor.

This set's an exploration in to the heavier and dancier side of his tastes, but has the same raw eclecticism that makes him such a wonderful selector.

Enjoy, and pop any I.D requests in the comments! x
