After a little hiatus, the mix series is back with our 6th mix coming from the fantastic @stephenhowe. Stephen is a DJ with tangents in all directions tucked up his sleeves, with bouncy minimal, squelchy facemelting bangers and bleepy breaky electro all part of his repertoire, he hosts a Refuge Show and has recent sets out on Awkwardly Social (as 'Ecki Pirates' together with the last DJ on our mix series, Deejay Slug), Astral Cast and Keep Hush. Perhaps seeing himself as more of a producer than a DJ, Stephen has released music on Rhythym Section, Astral VIP & rebirth as well as his own EPs : 'Mimesis' on Welt Discos & his most recent release on Flux White 'FXWL 24A'

This mix is an unusual one from our series, being a recording from a non-worthwhile tangents event, but Stephen got in touch with us to say he was really happy to recently get the chance to play a very free set on a very nice soundsystem at Tresor's Aurora Bar and he took the opportunity to play this grungy downtempo set, capturing all of our feelings of the cold grey Berlin winter - we're super excited to be able to share it with more people as the next mix in our series!

Starting with splashy breaks and distorted bass, with groovy percs scattered throughout, this mix gives way to more organic sounds and the feeling of spring hope as it comes to a close.

....the enveloping warmth of a well-worn bass bin, the soft echo of footsteps in an empty warehouse, the timbre of a 5 AM sunrise, the deafening crescendo of a thousand ravers as the bottom drops out. The frequency of pleasure, the pitch of insanity, the resonance of pain, the rhythm in a dancer's exhalation, the reverberation of our lives in the infinite puddle of chaotic reality.....
