Inc.ternational Mix Series

Long time Weirdos inc. affiliate, we welcome Bill Kilo to the first Weirdos inc Inc.ternational Mix. A mix series that expands from the B-side Radio show away from the local Vancouver djs and focuses on the further afield influences and friends of Weirdos inc.

Bill Kilo is the master of dollar bin digging. Usually found scouring unearthed record shops in the west of England on his lunch breaks. Finding rare gems and forgotten treasures for a lot less than a cup of coffee. It's always exciting doing a B2B with Bill cos you never know whats next. 

This mix is packed with feel good 90s house trance and feel good hitters. 100% vinyl.

Bill sent over this mix back in July 22, What better time to release it than ahead of the Weirdos inc. Take over at Mickey Zoggs, Bristol on 23rd of December. Bill and dj_2button will be doing a long over due b2b. 

We can't wait.

Bill Kilo ~ Inc.ternational Mix Series 01 (Weirdos inc.)

Inc.ternational Mix Series is an umbrella extension of The Weirdos Inc. Show on B-side Radio (which focuses on local Vancouver acts). Inc.ternational says what it is on the tin - looking further afield from all over the world for selectors that inspire us, and fit into the eclectic sound of the Weirdos corporation.  

For the second instalment of the Inc.ternational Mix Series, really happy to welcome fka Boursin, hailing from UK, Bristol. Long time friend of the label, Henry Aka fka Boursin has been creating beautiful dubbed out ambient-house tracks for as long as we've known him. He likes to incorporate critical themes with into his work, with an ongoing analysis of the dance music industry and deep house as a genre.

His recent released on Sam Hall and Ongo Gablogian's Bristol-based label, Few and Far Between. An imprint focussed on rejuvenating old Bristol records with fresh takes from current producers as well as original contemporary material.

He's created a beauty of a mix that spans many genres in a true Weirdos inc. fashion. Much like his productions, the mix filters in and out of rhythms and pads. The mix ends on a whopping 13 min long track of his. Turn on and tune out...

DJ Eft is a terrestrial amphibian with roots in NJ & Philadelphia. The now Portland based DJ, producer, designer, animator, & "World Healer" has spent time slinking through the mycelial forest duff, sampling the sounds and flavors of the PNW old growth and ocean. Eft is a natural farmer with a strong connection to the cycles of nature and makes contact with the spirits regularly which guide his ethereal selections in ambient, hypnotic techno, dub techno, trance infused tech-house, 4th world, and experimental IDM. 

I first met DJ EFT, also known as Mugwert at Aqua Lucidity, a festival on the sunshine coast last year. I awoke in my tent the Saturday morning after a heavy session to amazing selections I initially thought were coming from the main and only stage. Instantly drawn to the post night early morning DMT energy coming out of his portable mini rig - we became friends. 

I later in the summer travelled down to Canyon Vibrations in Oregon to watch EFT play the downtempo stage where I entered into another realm from his selections. 

Anyway stoked to have the homie on the Inc.ternational series where we're searching far and wide for those off kilter and beautiful moments in music out of the mundane and formulaic. 

EFT has delivered a Weirdos inc. Mix for sure and i'm sure you'll enjoy!

Originally from Leeds, georg-i is a Bristol based producer and DJ. First releasing music in 2021 through YCO, as their second ever release, georg-i’s productions have been going from strength to strength. With follow up releases on French label Dill Dodos Recife, Perko’s FELT imprint, another outing on YCO with plenty more in the tank for the future. His love of fast and scrappy sounds, hardcore bands, big riffs and heart on the sleeve leftfield techno, georg-i has cultivated a sound that will have you barrelling along one moment and give you serious whiplash the next. As a DJ he has had appearances on Noods Radio, Rinse France, NTS, Anklav’s ‘Breaking the Border’ series and most recently Fact magazine's Mix series, showing he’s equally lethal behind the decks.


For the inc.ternational Mix Series, georg-i has provided us with more of a slower-moving and chug-intensive assembly than his latest outings, fitting right at home with the Weirdos Sound.

Just as you settle into the fantasy of spending your remaining years in objective bliss, along comes the EBM and Electro Territories Train to pump you into a heady, nostalgia-kicking reality.  On this train there are many stations, Slapping Acid, 90’s UK Progressive Trance, Techno Paradise, before coming to its final destination: Deep Tech and Indie Dance Delirium. 

George and I used to light up dawning Bristol mornings with wicked vinyl Back2Backs when I’d make trips over from London in 2015/16.  To this day he’s a prime B2B Partner, alas its been too long, the fantastic energy they bring behind the decks makes it an absolute pleasure to host them.

Only one way to describe this mix: Slug. 
Mish's mixes are always a psychedelic trip through amphibious forests and slime that crawls on the rocks that these tracks slide over. Known around Bristol for his deep crates and immaculate productions. Waking up the mix with dubstep variations and slipping over through to a heavy section of dub. This ones to melt too.

Really putting the Weird in Weirdos inc. We have long time bristolian oddball wizard friends Escalator To Nowhere. These boys have been playing the slow and strange ever since the inception of now world famous Noods Radio since the days it basically started on a sofa. This is a refreshing none-dance-head-bop-detune-your-ears-look-at-the-wall-and-say-whatthefuckisthat-kinda-mix. Eclectic avant-garde business. Thanks for the mix, and I hope you enjoy as much as I do. Here are some words form the ETN lads:

"We had lots of fun leaning into our weirdo side for this! Basically made a big playlist of all our favourite dumb, silly, wobbly, strange tracks and then Gav fashioned some sort of Spy Kids clay sculpture out of it (that's a reference for the heads). 

There's a few ETN classics in here, like 'O Superman' straight out the blocks and 'Simple Headphone Mind' bringing it home, then the rest of it is a bit of a world-tour of wonkiness, including Indonesian percussion, Austrian gibberish into Kraftwerk, Czechoslovakian synth-pop, a Swiss interlude about a crazy monster killing people at a university (I think?) and then I thought it would be fitting to follow that with Martin Newell's University Challenge parody track and then some Captain Beefheart half-gibberish and then a track with a made-up Deep South "good old boy" talking to his daughter about drag racing which turns into a domestic. Then there's a few slightly more normal tracks but also a Michal Turtle track about condiments and a very wobbly synth tune by Cybe with some swirly bleep bloops that turn into a melody from a famous film which I won't spoil. Then there's another Cleaners From Venus track with an arrestingly beautiful karimba tune bookended with some unsettling mad-hatter's tea party nonsense, then a track made by some 14-year-old Australians about their parents getting divorced that has no business being so good, then hot cross buns into Ivor Cutler singing about bugs, and then another fantastic Japanese track we got from Mr Ho (shout-out Mr Ho). 

The first draft of the mix ended with 'Ealing Hygienic Laundry' by the Wibbley Brothers, but it felt wrong for the melting/powering-down voice saying "milky white" at the end of Simple Headphone Mind to not be the end of the mix. But then it felt wrong to not have any Wibbley Brothers track in the Weirdos mix. Thankfully the opening track from their album "Go Weird" is just a 4-second track called "Weird" in which they just sing the word "Weird!" and it fit perfectly as the finish line."

We've got another Psy-born-earptical-illusion-swamp-lathern mix for you! I don't think spotify wrapped bots could come up with that sentence... maybe next year? :( anyway enough about those evil lil guys and more onto this absolutely sweet mix from Montreals slug enchanter, Kiju. 

Sludgy IDM, Ethereal half-time jungle so downtempo the sofas gonna eat you up.
Wonky-daydream-percussion-heavy excursions into triphop dimensions. Genres so blurred and bass so chunky your brains gonna vibrate in that lovely head of yours. 
The mix, from a live set, we wish we were there for is a consistent sultry en-trance-ment of light and darkness. Stoked to add it to the series.  Here are some words from Kiju about it:

Seoul-born and currently loving in Tio'tia:ke/Montréal, kiju has been tirelessly involved in her city’s DIY circuit since the tail end of the pandemic as a DJ, rave organizer, and dancefloor specialist. Behind the decks, kiju has been noticed for her genre-spanning range, from swampy slo-mo to hypnotic uptempo, that focuses on finding the groove through more subtle rhythms and textures.

“Here, I present to you a my closing set from exposé noir’s vol x, in the chillout room, six floors up from the main stage. I hope you can feel the feeling that was in that room from this recording. I heard that it felt tribal, and sexy. I was playing on the floor, pulsing to the beat on my knees. There was a really good amount of fog, and many dancers were crowding in a circle around the booth as if the music were some source of heat.”

Tune in, Tune out. Until Next time.
Stay Weird

HAYAH comes in hot with a 100% original dubs mix—one hour of pure experimentation and expression straight from the HAYAH Sound Cave. "These tracks are the ships I’ve been sailing across the sonic seas. Most of them won’t make it past this stage, so I figured I’d share them in a mix. Pretty raw, largely unfinished, but they capture that spark of discovery that feels essential to this whole musical expression. Repetition, evolution, cycles—sound waves rippling across generations".

Blissed-out bouncing flutes, bopping dub lines, pitched-down vocal spells, sloppy delays, mean basslines, trip-hop spirals, spoken word, UK garage via the sun-kissed shores of Portugal. DUB on DUB.

HAYAH is on a trip—you can almost smell the green haze creeping out the speakers. It’s something special. Percy, aka HAYAH, is an old friend, almost fifteen years deep. I’ve seen his music evolve up close—and lately, from a distance. Honestly, without Percy’s influence, who knows if the weirdos sound would’ve ever wandered into dub territory. Born in South London, now based in Crato, Portugal. You can hear the lineage—clearly UK-born, but branching way beyond any one origin.

I seriously recommend sitting with this. Let the journey unfold. The mix is raw, not polished—and that’s what makes it so good. Pure experimentation. No filter.

They know the assignment and got it good! big love to these two. Stick it on, Stick it out and Stay zen. xoxox

Buzzing to share this one — a proper masterclass in drifting, left-field sounds from Glaswegian via London based dj peanut. Experimental downtempo, blown-out industrial textures, and dubby warmth all tangled together. No/new wave/ post punk, pub chug. crunchy, metallic, and totally in its own lane. Exactly the kind of thing we love pushing on the airwaves and through the label.

I met Katie (aka peanut) up in Newcastle earlier this summer — we were both playing the Lubberfiend’s third birthday, booked by our now-mate Jon Cornbill. As soon as I heard her set, I knew I had to get her on the series. No-brainer.

She’s been making noise around London now, and is a regular on Noods Radio. Big family energy on this one — and we're so gassed to have her involved.

dj_2button and Pigeon Steve going back to back for the first time for the Loose Joints crew up in Glasgow at the Berkeley Suit. A warm and chuggy 3 hour set that the first hour was lost due to technicals. A great session warming the room before Luxe.

inc.ternational mix series 12: dj ojo (London, UK)

"This mix is intended to capture the carefree energy at the tail end of the endless summer heatwave; lazy, sleazy, balmy and dripping, gently euphoric; downtempo, ambient, wave, house and oddities in between. Improvised in a mushroom mood one evening and refined in one take the next afternoon after a morning sauna. Vinyl, MP3s, delay pedal, mixer, sunlight through the windows and plants dancing delicately along with me. Enjoy!" - dj ojo.

Those paying attention might remember ojo's killer track"Lounge of a Thousand Years" on our "Delusions VA" compilation from a few years ago now. Tripped out excursions and moods you cant quite pin point but tickle the itch. ojo is a pro at merging seamless textures full of emotive wonk. stoked to get him on the series. grab a drink, sit back, fade out.
