Phonica mix 135 comes in hot from one of the slickest names making waves at the moment.
Wallace – the enigmatic alias of UK producer Jimmy Wallace – continues to assert himself as a quietly formidable force in underground house music. Since his 2023 breakthrough Ripples EP on Rhythm Section International, packed with sway-inducing grooves like “Whirl,” “Pump Up The Volume” and “Cenotes,” he’s maintained a remarkable creative and club presence. In 2024, he followed up with Papertrip on RS, a magnet for DJs and dancefloors alike, and later the Tanzanite EP on On Loop, where “Red Velvet” and “M’bira” earned serious praise for their visceral propulsion.

Wallace’s latest chapter includes a headline slot at Panorama Bar, alongside touring Japan, and support from tastemakers like Moxie, Gilles Peterson, Hunee and Bradley Zero – the latter reportedly playing “four or five Wallace tracks per set” across the past year. Stop-start grooves, pumping electro and acid licks, interwoven with percussive breakdowns and bursts of raw energy, define his DJ sets— for this mix: a cerebral yet unrelenting fusion of house, electro, acid and more, made for physical, late-night immersion.

We had a quick chat with Wallace about what he has coming up:

Is the art of DJing slowly dying? 😔

The modern world moves fast. Too fast. There’s no need to go to the record store anymore - just download the Beatport Top 10. No need to spend years learning to beatmatch, the sync button’s got you covered. No need to train your ear for harmony, Rekordbox shows you the key. No need to think about timing, auto loops will make it fit. And who listens to a full mix anymore when algorithms reward 30-second clips? With every new feature, every software update, a little bit more of the artistry dies.

Remember the days when DJs spent years digging through crates to find that one record that made them feel something? When you saved your hard-earned money to buy a piece of wax for your collection? When you learned to ride the pitch, to keep two tracks locked in time by feel alone? When you listened to keys, phrasing, and energy without looking at waveforms?

Mixing vinyl comes with imperfections, you hear the pitch drift when you nudge the platter, the dust crackling under the needle, the slight distortion as the record wears, the external FX falling just out of time. But it’s in those imperfections where the art lives. That’s what makes it human, unique, and beautiful. That’s what makes it real.

How Much Is Enough Vol. 2 is the second in a series of all-vinyl mixes, crafted with love. It's for those who still believe in the beauty of imperfection. For those that still believe in art of DJing.

The NTS Breakfast Show w/ PALMS TRAX 101025

Towards the end of 1995 into 1996, Garage DJs were moving away from solely playing US imports at +6 and sets started to feature a lot more UK-produced records with higher energy, heavier basslines and lavish melodies. 

By ‘96 labels like Urban Beat, Confetti and Underground Classics were putting out incredible tunes that were distinctly different to what came before. 

Sped-up records from New York were still prevalent but sets were predominantly made up of a fresh, totally London-based sound. Stations like Freek FM were pushing Garage in a new direction with DJ Maddness and EZ at the forefront, building on what the likes of Hermit and Dominic Spreadlove had been doing for the previous few years at Gass Club in Leicester Square. 

EZ’s Flavour Zone and Maddness’s KMA shows on Freek are personally my favourite mixes ever and what got me into Garage to begin with.

During 1997 the sound completely evolved again with skippy, chunkier drums, even bigger basslines and a more experimental feel. 2 Step and Speed Garage took hold by the end of the year and while this is definitely the trendier side of Garage these days, the period just before this has always been my preference; a blend of those amazing US House records and London’s new take on them. 

I wanted this to feel like a Freek FM show so everything in the mix is from around those brilliant years of 1996 & 1997, apart from a few new tunes produced by me. Pure House & G flava. 

This is probably my favourite mix I’ve recorded tune-wise with some of the (I think) best records I own, a lot of which I’ve had for 10+ years but never put in a mix. Enjoy.
