Explorations Mix Series

Eclecticist Mixes

London's @giuliatess has been making waves for a while now, with releases on Jamz Supernova's Future Bounce label and a standout addition to Mor Elian's Fever AM compilation "I Hope You Are Well During These Strange Times".

Her deeply unique brooding, bassy and polyrhythmic sound has struck a chord and seen her garner upcoming bookings at The Cause and Fabric, while she's also found time to launch a side project named Mala Femmina. We're overjoyed to host a mix from her bringing together a wide range of flavours, expect to hear loads more from her...

Explorations Mix #13 - Giulia Tess

After an extended hiatus, we're back on the Explorations Mix Series, this time with one we've been waiting to put out for a good while now!

We're v pleased to welcome @louuss to the series and he did NOT come to mess about with this one. Hosting his flawlessly curated monthly radio show If It Moves on Vandelay Radio, he can be found spinning anything from dub techno to juke to bouncy pop edits.

He brings that same energy to this mix, going in hard but playing with the energy levels and contrasting dark and light moods. It's a phenomenal mix - hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Explorations Mix #14 - Nolou

We've got another fine addition to the Explorations Mix series, this time from the endlessly enthusiastic supporter of underground bass music @itswilljb.

Firing out mixes at a frankly terrifying rate, his smooth, downtempo mix for the @pollination-uk series caught our attention. He's on top form for his mix here, pulling together a wide array of dark, glitchy percussive heat in a way that feels fresh and foreboding, yet never oppressive.

Constantly flying the flag for the @more-cowbell crew, he comes correct with a selection of tunes from around the globe and from some of the best labels about. Showing a deep knowledge and passion for various sounds, this shows why he's one to watch!

Explorations Mix #15 - Bingle Beats

Next mix in the series comes from @s_o_w, a key member and co-founder of the @newscenery crew. New Scenery share similar DNA to Unbound in that they address the lack of diversity in electronic music by making space for LGBT, non-binary and minority individuals.

Their musical policy is similarly open-ended and is *fully* on show in this mix, with a wide range of colourful sounds, sassy edits and swaggy tunes stitched together in a collage-esque manner. Most of all tho, it keeps the Unbound spirit by being FUN. Enjoy folks x

Explorations Mix #16 - SOW

Number 17 in our humble mix series sees good friend @mantissa1 co-founder @thomasallman-1 contribute a truly stellar guest mix. 

Mantissa is an online platform, mix series, occasional party and - as of late - also a label which will soon be two releases deep. Find out more here: https://mantissamix.com/

Gliding through a range of bouncy, polyrhythmic tunes, the mix is a breezy hr long ride that effortlessly ties together a wide set of genres with panache. Full of bouncy, wiggly tunes, it's a mix that massages your brain and gets your feet moving. Enjoy!

Explorations Mix #17 - Tom Allman (Mantissa)

The Oxford born, Bristol nurtured and London living Eclecticist has been in music for almost 2 decades, harboured by his father's Reggae & Dub soundsystem background, inheriting a mish-mash of equipment in his early years!

Alongside his undying exploration for mixing, he also had a successful spout as an MC and songwriter as a teenages under the alias S!lecta. A music Tech degree and cultural awakening followed whilst studying in Bristol where he dsicovered his passion for Radio and giving birth to the brand he currently hosts under, @Eclectivity!

Last year he was crowned one of the Pirate Studios Pirate Prodigies and also produces some of the biggest Radio Shows in the country for the BBC. 

If you haven't already checked out this guy's radio shows, make sure you do, our bet is that it won't be long til he's broadcasting on the big boys. There aren't many out there with such varied taste as well as the skills behind the Mic. 

Well known for playing Techno, UK Bass, Hybrids of UK Funky and House an Earful of Eclecticist showcases his sound to the fullest!

EARFUL OF | Eclecticist

No. 10 in our Explorations Mix Series comes from the supremely talented Eclecticist (@eclectivity) who draws from a wide range of bassy sounds and styles. With the title of Pirate Studios' 2019 'Pirate Prodigy' winner under his belt and his regular Eclectivity radio show on 1020 Radio, he's been carving out his own lane.

Heavily influenced by soundystem culture from a young age, he cohesively weaves various sub-heavy rhythms together, masterfully flipping from deep, sumptuous sounds to light and euphoric shades at the drop of a hat. This one's a juicy one!
