Om Unit - SWU FM - December 2021 (All Vinyl Dubwise Special)

Tracklist + Q&A: 

@baalti are the Californian duo shifting perceptions on South Asian sounds

"This one’s all about global club. It’s connecting a bunch of sounds that feel really inspiring to us currently, focusing heavily on South Asian and Middle Eastern club music, and finding through-lines between them. It’s super rhythmically charged, percussion-heavy, a little hectic, and a bit of a journey that hopefully takes you some place new while connecting the dots between old sounds and new ones. There’s a bunch of our unreleased songs in there, lots of songs from our new EP, some cheeky last-minute edits, and lots of heaters from producers we dig. Actually really proud of this mix"

@sirhissbristol goes In Session

"I tried to record an all-encompassing mix filled with everything that I feel represents me as an artist at the moment, although it’s quite club-focused, I had to chuck in some more introspective tunes and some obligatory unreleased stuff from myself"

In Session: Sir Hiss

This is the OG right here! Before I was asked to create this mix I was a medium-well known “regional” DJ from the east coast / northeast. I had some mixtapes out and was playing some shows here and there. I also had a full time job at an internet tech support company and the whole DJ’ing thing was just a hobby for me. Everything changed with this project. I was approached by Dan Donnelly of Suburban Base Records in the UK to mix a compilation for the American market. The tracks were already chosen, he just needed someone to mix it together and give it a push in the states. To this day I am still not 100% sure why he chose me to do it. He could have easily gotten a big name UK drum and bass DJ mix it and just put it out as a standard compilation. But instead…I was give the golden opportunity. Dan had Moonshine Records from the states handle the business end of it (production, distribution, etc). They offered me the job and a flat fee of $500. I was broke as hell back then and needed the money, but instead of accepting the cash I worked out a deal where I would be able to hire my own graphic designer for my cd. This was a first for Moonshine as they had a paid in-house designer for all of their projects. My release needed to be special though, and I thought their standard design of “stock photo + text” was boring. I hired the boys from Airline Industries from DC. They were putting out the sickest fliers at the time for weekly DC club night Buzz and I was really desperate to work with them. Dan sent me the music on vinyl and I banged out the mix on a couple of Technics SL-1200 turntables and the crappiest of no-frills mixers - a Radioshack 32-1100A. In the grand scheme of my mixes it is somewhat basic, but it definitely captured a moment in the drum and bass scene. The one twist I added was segueing into a sound FX record of a thunderstorm to intro the final tune. I thought it added a “sophisticated touch”. Hahaha! Once the CD came out my entire career took off. Because it was available everywhere I started getting booked everywhere. It really transformed my hobby into a a viable career and made me realize I could play music for a living. Thank you to Dan Donnelly and Moonshine for gifting me this. I will be eternally grateful. Final note - everyone always thought that the picture of the guy on Vespa on the CD cover was me. It isn’t (it was a friend of the Airline Industries guys).
