Joining us for the 27th edition of our 'Members Mix' series, we are delighted to be joined by a foundational member of the SnS community Chach.

Chach currently holds a residency on 1020 radio for Hidden Rooms, a non-for-profit party he’s involved who have been throwing events in Amsterdam & Rotterdam. Check out some words from the man himself about the mix:

“I was asked to do a mix for Shuffle and Swing so, so long ago and for whatever reason I took my sweet little time in pissing about. Nothing I recorded was Shuffle-y enough and when it was - then it just didn’t swing. I wouldn’t know how to describe the end product, but it’s an ode to picking out silly and obscure bits - big grins in record shops, weary eyes on the cogs. 

I’d like to dedicate the mix to friends old and new - Seb, BP, Mallory and as ever the silliest of silly crews.”

I heal myself weekly with the music I play. I listen deeply to the words buried within; the intention behind the lyrics either peppered-in or chorused. So much of the house music I connect with is rooted in love. It’s rooted in desire and hope. It’s rooted in narrative, “Do you want to trip with me?”, “I’ll outstretch my hand”, “I won’t forget about you, you won’t forget about me, we won’t forget about love vibrations!”. I listen to the messages to remind myself what I need and why I continue to move forward.

Vol.2 is represented in two mixing styles; long-melded blends (Trippin’ On Love) and fast, tight radio-style cut mixes with overdubs (Slammin’ With Love). Both convey the deep need for connection to one’s body and to others. It’s this connection energy that I find so powerful about house music’s healing magic.

@riz_la_teef goes In Session

"I recorded this mix at home on two old Mackie monitors, my DJM-600 which is like an antique and two XDJs. I wanted to play mostly new stuff and I felt like I wanted to represent my newer sound and what you’d expect from me in a club environment. It starts with the piano, and sort of progresses and ends with the four-by-four dubstep stuff, and then piano again with the half-time jungle bits."
