A much loved Bristol party starter sets the mood. "It's just lots of tracks I like!! Thought I’d start a bit faster and wind down a bit at the end, but with some fun and funky bits, I hope you like it!!"

Soaring melodic techno from the UK acid master. "There are tracks from the ever mighty Jamal Moss, an unreleased gem from Dom Cappello. A few corkers from Ambivalent, who has had an outstanding year..easily my favourite producer of 2016, and some killer cuts from Semtek, Paul Mac, Matrixxman, Planetary Assault Systems and one of my top tunes of the year from Artefakt on Delsin."

Warren 'Hanna' Harris marks his return. "The mix is an obscure techno set. Front ended by interesting tracks by the artist Shed. It moves into some deep and harder house. Tracks I like to play for a live audience."

Your favourite DJ's favourite DJ's favourite DJ in the mix. "I just recorded a few songs that I'm into lately, a few new bits I bought and a couple of favourites but it is definitely something that you can listen to during day whilst having tea or when you're walking around in a city."

The Apron and 1080p producer continues his ascension with a mix packed with summer jams. Boogie, late 80’s stuff, early house, afro stuff, 90s vocal house, a splash of techno. Chase that down with some break boink and you got yourself a diabolical shimmy.

Melbourne based 90s enthusiasts DJ Camov and Myles Mac combine with a three hour cruise through the golden years of house and techno for their latest assignment as Project 95. Tracks from Jovonn, Kerri Chandler, Fresh and Low, K-Hand, Glenn Underground, Model 500, David Alvarado, Steve O'Sullivan, Masters At Work and Mark Ambrose to name a few.

Prolific analogue synth wiz and regular L.I.E.S. and Crème Organization contributor Nick Anthony Simoncino winds back the clock with an hour of under the radar Chicago house from the golden period of the late 80s that continues to inspire his sound.

Raw house cuts from Apron Records' newest heavy hitter, featuring tracks from DJ SCSI, DJ Rush, Kanabis The Edit Assassin, Theo Parrish and Bastien Carrara.

Real music for real people. "For this mix you’ll hear sneaky peeks from our next 12” (on Beats in Space), a recorded live jam from a gig in Italy, some dollar bin goodies, Swedish psychedelic rock and a bunch of other music we’ve been enjoying for the past few weeks."

The Bass Cadet Records duo take us on a percussive journey. "We gathered some of the records we bought recently, some from our friends and a couple of obscure oldies coming from the cheap bin that always worked out in our set. We also put an exclusive track from Tolga to be featured on his next release. The recording is bringing different facets of what we like, and we’ve been trying to showcase what we would build up within the course of a three hour set in natural club conditions but reduced into one hour. Going from some stripped down percussive beats, deeper techno things to some more soulful house, always with a twist. It was a bit weird to record a DJ mix right at the time that we are rehearsing and working a lot on the live set, but it gave us a nice respiration out of all this mess."

The Liverpool producer returns to his Junglist roots in a bass heavy mix featuring new material from his debut album on Creme Organization and forthcoming heat for Lobster Theremin. "Mix is straight up a collection of where I am right now.. rave noises and breakbeat kind of vibe, lots of hi hats smacking around off each other, rollers, pitched down jungle. Pitched up house, bells, bleeps and a bit of the old tambourine. At heart I’m a Junglist still, I guess I always will be, and you can probably hear that tinted in the things I do even though it might not be 170bpm. There’s loads of new stuff in here, some old, some things off the album, something off the new Bantam Lions album… all the usual stuff. It’s dark in bits and not so dark in others. There’s no trance in it, which is a great shame."

High-octane house and techno from a Smallville favourite. "I was just playing the new stuff that I bought and some recently bought second hand records. And then there are some unreleased tracks from 777 recordings.. Ron Wilson's label, Qnete!!! and a record that should be mentioned is the 60 Miles one.. Persian Moon!!! Amazing track. 60 Miles .. always in the bag. Plus an extra copy."

MDC.150 arrives via the the leafy backstreets of Melbourne from an emerging local live act with a uniquely Australian sound. "We’ve used our traditional live setup to record a 45 minute improvised set. It turned out a little darker than usual on account of the field recording that we used as inspiration – an evening flight from Melbourne to Cairns. It ends with a track from our latest record ‘Edgewater Towers.' "

Oddball house from an international man of melody. "The mix was recorded in the UK a few weeks ago.. It’s a selection of new stuff that I have been enjoying.. If my memory serves me correctly there are tracks from Alter Ego, Suzanne Kraft, Maizena and the Regelbau crew.. oh yeah, and also a Tambien remix of my “Land of Light” project that has just come out on ESP Institute."
