That was epic. Just got a new bike and christened the first ride with this mix, cruising around Sydney harbour. Lush! 

After his killer record on our ITX series, Etch delivers number 61 of our podcast series. His approach to DJing is as far flung as his inspirations for production, seamlessly moving up and down different styles creating an exciting and varied amalgamation of sounds. Enjoy!

We were put on to Rotterdam via Belfast DJ and producer Kessler last year thanks to Manchester club night-turned-label Left, Right & Centre. His blistering contribution to their second V/A release, which we premiered last year, blew our tiny little minds and had us waiting on tenterhooks for what else he had up his sleeve.

Since then he's released a full EP via Shall Not Fade (tip!), adding to his catalogue of releases on labels like Yellow Island, Born Sleepy, Nocturne and Ying Yang, which all explore his passion for breaks, bass, techno and the spaces in between.

We invited him to take care of this week's Ransom Note mix which moves through the sounds that influence his own productions. If you need a helping hand getting over hump day, you've come to the right place...

UK trio Denham Audio have become known for their emotional rave productions, releasing on the likes of Frendzone, Beat Machine Records, Durkle Disco, Secret Rave and Club Glow - a tape series they run alongside Borai, LMajor and Mani Festo. 

Their next release, ‘Caviar Cordial’ out on the 19th June, lands on the relatively new imprint There Is Love In You. Delivering 4 slices of breakbeat, house, and garage with ambient for afters, the EP showcases something a little different from Denham Audio.

Last year, Deadboy dropped his alias in favour of a return to his birth name: Al Wootton. Under that banner, he's been running Trule, the label showcasing some of the best club heaters in the circuit right now, tracking releases from Pugilist, Jubilee, Julio Bashmore (under the name Bash) and himself as Al. Eschewing the often beatless and hard-to-categorise sounds he'd pioneered as Deadboy since '09, these newer releases have found him veering into techno, UKG and dub, stitching ragga samples to raw, swung percussion. 'Body Healthy', one of his early outings on Trule, found a place in countless DJ sets and earned praise like: "I saw the Batman symbol in the sky and knew Al had dropped something absolutely criminal. Bombs on bombs." It's a sound that Wootton's driven even further on debut album 'Witness', a raw ride through shuffling breakbeats, dub, rave and techno. Realising that the electronic albums he turned to again and again (Photek's 'Modus Operandi', Roni Size's 'New Forms' and Goldie's 'Timeless') capture a sense of raw dancefloor energy, Wootton wanted to make something in the same vein rather than a collection of standalone club tracks. "I wanted this mix to be a bit like what I would be playing out if I was DJing out right now," Al Wootton says of his Dummy Mix. "I think it covers the cross between dub, garage, techno and jungle/breaks that I’ve been spanning with the Trule records. There’s a few tracks from the album and some forthcoming bits in there too, as well as some favourite tracks from my radio shows. Really looking forward to playing some of these tracks out some day."

Tsugi Podcast 602 : Skee Mask

We’re excited to announce our latest guest; Bristol based, rave-scene legend, Borai. Part of the illusive group, Club Glow, alongside Denham Audio, L-Major and Mani Festo, the collective have certainly cemented their place nationally and internationally, pushing unique breakbeat rhythms, infused with a heavy 90’s jungle influence – which has been an integral part of Borai’s mixing DNA for the last 15 years in itself. Though jungle may be the main building block of Borai’s DJing style, years of behind the scenes work in local record stores has paved way for an eclectic track knowledge, including dark garage bangers and energetic dancehall heaters. 

As a producer, Borai’s sound spans from house, to hardcore, to (obviously) jungle, and 2018 saw rise to monumental track ‘Make Me’, produced with Denham Audio and released under self-managed label, Higher Level Records - which Mixmag ranked no. 16 out of the top 50 tracks of that year. Having released under a number of other labels, including Berlin-based Jackoff and Retrofit, as well as Argot Records’ internationally-focused sister label, Tasteful Nudes, based across the pond in the U.S., Borai’s monopoly in the scene has only gone from strength to strength over the years.

So settle down to a unparalleled selection of industrial breaks, extra-terrestrial jungle and an hour of brand new, unfiltered Club glow madness. - @borai

Club Glow Radio was joined by AK Sports for a signature blend of club-ready cuts - heavyweight breaks, jungle, and garage from Tom Place, Mani Festo, and more.

Club Glow Radio w/ AK Sports & Borai- December 2020

Back in April I was asked to record a mix for an online music platform that I was really excited about.. but after a turbulent year full of endless twists and turns it unfortunately never ended up being shared.

It’s been sitting on me hard drive ever since but it features an Al Green & Beatrice Dillon blend and if there’s one good thing to have come out of 2020 its that Beatrice Dillon album.

I recorded this around the same time as my Crack Sunday mix came out and wanted the two to go in polar opposite directions of one another. As that one was semi ambient and slow, this one is full throttle, balls to the wall and full of end of the world steppers. 

Might not be the one for your NYE countdown, but if you’re looking for something a bit more crunchy for that kitchen crack on slap it on. x
