A collection of WotD DJ mixes for several online magazines, ranging from downtempo trip hop vibes on the Decoded Sunday Mixes to gloomtonica & chuggy acid house.

WotD - DJ Sets

Ben and I go way back, we've been friends since the late 90's when I moved to Sydney Australia to help kick start a failing nightclub venture that had been started by people with the best intentions but no idea of what and who their market might be. We were supposed to go out there for three or four month, help them put together a team and then head on back for the summer season on Ibiza. That turned into two and a half years. Some of the best two and a half years I've spent as it goes. And for the most part this is down to the people I met there, people who I'm still very much in touch with still. Me and Ben sit up talking absolutely rubbish whenever we are afforded the chance, be it on Ibiza where he has been a regular visitor since the early 00's or more recently on the island of Koh Chang (our spiritual sister island) so it was an obvious move that one day we should put a mix together. The (loose) theme of overcoming adversity was discussed as we felt we it kind of fitted with our relationship on a couple of levels. But more than that the mix is a really great insight into the music that we'd be listening too whilst talking absolute rubbish together through the night and into the dawn when we are afforded the chance...

Warriors of the Dystotheque - Cold Turkey

So our next guest mix comes from Warriors Of The Dystotheque!

Been loving their Excursions radio show on Cowbell Radio for a while now so its great to have a mix from them!!

A little bit about them:

Warriors of the Dystotheque is the brain child of Jonny Mac from Ireland, who as last 20 years DJ’d across the globe alongside Phil Hartnoll form Orbital and Leeroy from the Prodigy for several of those years, He also survived 2 tours with Shaun Ryder & Bez from The Happy Mondays,

Numerous festival appearances at V Festival after winning the XFM DJ competition in 2000 and many others across the world, not to mention several residencies in Ibiza playing Sunset & then after dark laying down Nu School Breaks as well as promoting several club nights and warehouse parties across Coventry, Leicester and The Sanctuary in Birmingham with all the top Breaks, Techno, Turntabilist’s & D&B DJ’s for the best part of a decade before relocating back home to Ireland and shelving Jonny Mac and DJ’ing in 2011. 

After taking time out for a few years he started his new project Warriors of the Dystotheque in 2015 and they’ve had major support across BBC 6 Music, BBC R1, RTE 2, BBC Foyle, BBC Ulster & even KEXP in the USA getting in on the act, 7 EP’s and an album later with remixes from Justin Robertson, Richard March (BRA) Tronik Youth and many others, collaborations & remixes for Graham Crabb (Pop Will Eat Itself), James Atkin (EMF) & more they are again about to make some noise with the new EP Thou Shalt Not Follow which comes with a rather tasty Acid remix from Tici Taci’s Duncan Gray.

The EP is a direct response to the Idea that Brexit, the Tories & Trump being in Power is a good idea.

With WotD being a unique set up this is something thats had a major impact on the band members as they are made up of Mike & Nick in New York (USA), Sean who spends his time between Coventry (UK) & Toulon (France) & Jonny in Derry on the Irish border. 

With several DJ festival appearances over the last few years and a tour of Thailand last April he’s getting back into the DJ scene and taking WotD onto the dance floors and has easily picked up where he left it in 2011. 

Thou Shalt Not Follow is released on the 20th March across the usual platforms with Bandcamp being live for pre orders from now.

Retroforward with Al Mackenzie - Andrew Weatherall Tribute - 20.02.2021

The Warriors are  forged from an alliance of transatlantic low-fi fanatics and leftfield DJ / Producers. Projecting an amalgamation of Chemical Beats, broken beat, jazz, downtempo, house, techno, electronica, noise and psyche, their unusual sound, whether laid back, or dance floor oriented, could quite easily come from a dystopic future where truly bad taste is outlawed.
