In the new episode of Night Lovers mixes, we are pleased to present the mix of our friend and vinyl selector Forgotten Disco Star. Anatoliy currently lives in Germany and has been involved in music, collecting records, and working on his own record store @soundhoundrecordstore for many years.

In this mix of street soul, downtempo, AOR, synth pop and house, Anatoly was inspired by his favorite compilations of his youth from early 2000s, such as LateNiteTales and Back To Mine. Rare finds that perfectly complement each other, you can literally fly away. 
Perfect work.
For morning coffee and summer walks.

Dishing up an extended all-spice-mix from local hot saucier @lava-brain. Prepare for some genuine mind realignment with 3.5 hours of mesmerisingly deep heat!

Q. Hey Eric, what inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. Thanks for having me! I don’t know if there was a conscious thought so much, but lots of music to either get you in a meditative mood or moving depending on how you’re feeling. I guess there are definitely a lot of elements from the 90s Bristol scene threaded through the mix in one way or another. That trip hop/down tempo sound was really a big gateway into a lot of electronic music for me and it’s what I was listening to a lot of when I first started DJing. ‘Bass is Maternal’ by Smith & Mighty was a really big record for me; bringing together a lot of trip hop, dub, bass, breakbeat and jungle sounds, which feature in a lot of tracks in the mix.    

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart?

Definitely! There’s a mix of some older favs like 'Transient' by Mr G, 'Tokyo Dawn' by Doc Scott & a Smith & Mighty tune. 'The Edgelands' by Rings Around Saturn has definitely had its fair share of listens over the years for me too. There's also a bunch of newer tracks, lots of local favourites & just music that inspires me. 
One tune which I hold especially close would have to be Delano Smith’s ‘The Rock’. I remember hearing it for the first time and I still find it hard not to get hypnotised by it. The vocal sample about universal unity is also pretty groovy :)

Q. Tell us what’s the latest with the visual aspect of your Lava Brain project? How would you describe your approach?

A. It’s been really great to get more opportunities to work on the live visuals & projection mapping part of my practice recently and to focus on it 100% at a party. 

In terms of my approach to integrating the two, with every event there are so many different elements that need to work together to make it a success. I think it's really about creating an awesome experience, working together with the music and space to compliment each other and help curate a mood. Working with different collectives or venues is always interesting, as all the elements change including the physical space and I enjoy the design process; usually starting with the logical side of the ‘how’ will this technically work and then the ‘what’ in terms of creative content. 

I guess I try to tap into my own feelings when designing an install or content and ask myself something like ‘How would this make me feel in the context of the party, music and space and what’s the intention we as a collective are trying to curate?’ I’m also starting to expand my setup, experimenting with mapping a small wireless midi controller to be able to still be able to control the visuals while being away from the laptop and part of the party, letting me further tap into those intuitive feelings. 

Currently I’m working on a visual instalment for Ferdydurke’s 11th birthday on August 12th and have been working with some new projection materials, experimenting with sheer fabrics to project a succession of images above the dancefloor to give a sort of floating holographic tunnel effect. For the event I’m also working on building a motorised lighting sculpture for the entrance to the venue, which is something new for me. 
In parallel, I’m working on some grant applications and starting to look for sponsorships for a multi-day projection art and music series I’m working on, in collaboration with the Section 8 crew. With all going to plan, that should be happening mid-next year. 
Other than that, continuing to learn, play and experiment, currently I’m starting to teach myself Touch Designer to expand that side of my creative practice and just always staying open to new projects and collaborations :)

300 mixes! What a journey. Big respect to those still listening since it all began back in the late 2000s, and a warm welcome to those who might just be tuning in for the first of hopefully a few more to come.

Thought it must be about time for another episode from Deepcast HQ, with Myles Mac & DJ Possum back in the mix for a relaxing journey guided by the eternal balearic breeze of the 90s. Two and a half hours of smooth summertime groovers with plenty of vocoders, utopian dream states and moments of total rave nostalgia. Dancefloor chillers for the deeply inclined and/or reclined. Here's to 300 more :~)

Toby Tobias is a London don. He quietly makes and releases some of the most messed up records out there. He made our last Discotecas release, runs the Voice Notes label and is a wicked DJ who is unafraid to rock a party with an 'anything goes' attitude. He's done us a dub / dancehall mix with live fx, bleeps and more... Spring is here, the sun is out, things are on the up and this is the perfect soundtrack. Press play and enjoy.

Anemoia presents one of our favourite Berlin bookings - Hisashi (Snapout). Originally from Sendai, Japan, Hisashi spent a decade refining his DJ skills in Tokyo, making his mark on the city with regular appearances at Shibuya's KOARA and RED BAR—key venues in the Tokyo underground scene. His influence extends beyond Japan, having performed at Berlin's Club der Visionäre, Frankfurt's Silvergold, and Korea's MODECi. After a decade of experience behind the decks, he relocated to Berlin in 2022, where he co-runs the label "Snapout" with yama', Takashi Himeoka, and Riku Sugimoto. 



About this month's mix, he says: "This mix is a collection of records I don't usually play in clubs—mainly ambient, downtempo, IDM, and trip-hop from my home listening shelf. While I mostly collect house and techno, I've always had a deep love for slower, moodier sounds. D59B felt like the perfect place to share this quieter side of my collection."

Hot on the heels of his Adesso Music debut earlier this year with ‘Lay It Down For Me’, Italian-born talent Pietro Morello returns to Junior Jack’s label this August with ‘I Ain’t Gonna Hurry’. Building on a wave of recent support from tastemakers like Jamie Jones, Jess Bays, MEDUZA, and more, Morello doubles down on his signature edgy, percussive house sound here as he makes his sophomore appearance on the burgeoning imprint.

‘I Ain’t Gonna Hurry’ is masterfully stripped-back, bottom-heavy house music. Soulful vox samples sit atop heavy-duty percussion and booming bass to create an irresistible, minimal-leaning groove with serious underground appeal.
