As 2023 approaches, we are asking artists to reflect on the year just gone through a series of mixes built from new music they’ve discovered or enjoyed in 2022.

Haseeb Iqbal pours everything into his output, and many of us have been the beneficiaries of this at least once a week throughout 2022. For those tuning into his Worldwide FM broadcasts, it was impossible not to get the sense that the London DJ and poet lives for sharing music. More often than not, his intricately curated selections are bolstered by a detailed account of their histories – a constant reminder of the music’s inextricability to power, struggle and resistance. A fan in the truest sense of the word, his untempered passion for discovery and connection is palpable in all his does – including this very mix which features plenty of his 2022 favourites.

“2022 has been a really exciting and energising year for culture in the UK and all around the world. I have been privileged enough to maintain a weekly radio show throughout this whole period, speaking to a number of musicians, constantly impressed by their creativity and output,” says Iqbal. 

“It feels particularly special after a couple of tricky years for music and I feel like the momentum is only growing. Festivals managed to offer us this in a live context throughout summer and I feel so inspired and excited about next year. I had a really great time putting this together – thanks for getting me involved. 2023 will be a treat!”

Downtempo oddities, askew rhythms and bass heavy excursions transport us to the sway-state in the latest Off-Kilter mix, served to us by one of Bristol’s finest and most respected DJs, Farrell. 

The tracks in this mix reflect the Downtempo, Dub and Techno adjacent sound that remains at the forefront of Bristol long running Sunday session, Under Heavy Manners; slow in speed yet blissed with energy and weaved together with precision.

//

A vital tenet in Bristol’s ecosystem of parties and records, Chris Farrell has spent most of his life channelling the right music to the right people and places. His role behind the counter of some of the city’s most legendary record shops has kept him close to club music’s ever-evolving frontiers, all the while amassing the particular sounds which fit his own exacting tastes.

His long-established record shop and label Idle Hands served to join the dots between all kinds of scenes and sub-genres within and outside of Bristol, but the establishment of new label Devil’s Work points to a more focused platform reflecting the music Farrell stitches together as a DJ. Genre tags are a fools errand, but what he reaches for in his particular path between techno, electro, breakbeat, house, garage, minimal and more is the attitude of rave - a particular way of working the tunes with fearless intent and keeping the energy up.

There’s a stripped-back, bass-loaded sensibility to his sound which chimes with Bristol’s soundsystem tradition and his prior work with Idle Hands, not to mention a deep love and knowledge of dub, but the music Farrell plays out is firmly fixed on moving forwards. Splitting the difference between brand new cuts, his own long-cultivated collection and the odd deeper dig from the 90s, the fundamental is physicality and that elusive quality which separates an average club track from an outstanding one.

Alongside steady club and festival appearances taking in respected top tier events and off-grid sessions alike, Farrell maintains a steady radio presence on Bristol stations SWU and Noods as a direct demonstration of where his sound is steered at any given time. With a life so steeped in seeking out and sharing music, Farrell’s authority comes without question, and his sets celebrate the links between the freshest tunes and the past three decades of dance music culture.
