This week you need to put your hands up for the exceptional selectors Hot-4-U followed by a killer mixtape by Deeplay Music’s head honcho Martin Brodin. Next up is a man who has had plenty of involvement in the music scene, from disco to techno and back again; Brendan P. In their Presha and Submerge guise, Anand and Lavin bring a bass-inflected program of Dubstep and Drum n Bass with aussie-based local rolla JPS!
Focus on Kenneth and Josh’s favourite gritty floor-filling sounds, as this brillant duo moves from breaks to tech house, with humor. Jules (aka Seb), steps out of his house persona and give us his first electronic music love, IDM. Brace yrself! Few have failed to be impressed by DJ Hook as he entertains with local heavyweight Aldrin on mixtape duties.
The mystery of Rufus remains, and following him you can get some soul doingz with a rare 1979 live mix of disco goodness by Italia’s Miki. Head chef KidG is back with a brand new menu of tasty treats. This week we introduce Markey Funk from Jerusalem, with his 60’s inspired psychedelic mixtape (‘shrooms not needed). Anyone who likes their electronic sheen with class will not be disappointed with our last show of the week by Ramesh. Austrian DJ M.A.R.S ends this week with a darkly space-like mixtape. A must listen for all technoids.
