After a week of misery, faint memories of Laika made it alright... Here's me figuratively putting them to paper

Basement Maxx - I Laika Like That

This is the recording of my closing set at FOLD, London, on April 14th, 2023. I'd put together the lineup for Transmissions and DJed after Shackleton, CCL and mi-el, and had a really special time playing in a zone I’ve been hugely enjoying this year – fast, headsy, frenetic, tunnelling, kind of psychedelic (but not like explicitly psy), twisting and turning in different directions, all over the place genre-wise but tightly bound in a specific mood and propulsive energy.

Decided to re-record a few transitions on this one and tidy it up a little – it’s more editing than I’d usually do but I wanted to release the best mix I could which would exemplify where my head's been at this year. :)

If you enjoyed this, I'm back at FOLD on Saturday 2nd December 2023 for an all-day set – tickets available here. :) https://ra.co/events/1778251

2025-10-11 Live At Power House (DJ Pete, Finn Johannsen)

"I wanted to bring a bouncy, lush cosmic energy that encapsulates the cerebral aspects of sound design I love and the body high of movement & groove that carries my favorite  dancefloors. I’ve included some of my favorite FLINTA producers, forthcoming works, and tracks from the Delusional catalog, all spanning an array of genres, yet unified in their otherworldly nature. 
I love movement whether it's a proper warehouse or just dancing at home, so I think this mix would be an incredible pre-club listen."

We are stoked to host this exquisite mix from @maudevos, founder of Delusional Records, a label amplifying underrepresented voices in electronica, with a whopping 95% of it showcasing FLINTA, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and API artists. 
We catch up with them ahead of their highly anticipated third EP released on Delusional Records - 'Astral Intervals'.
