I actually hate recording mixes. Definitely gives me a good bit of anxiety. That being said I recorded this one first take and went with it so it’d be as close to a real set as possible and I ended up being quite happy with it.
I hope listening to it can offer people some respite from the current state of affairs in the world right now, while also remembering to focus on what’s important: staying safe and healthy and using your voice to fight for what’s important to you and also to fight for those who need your help too.

This weeks mix is from Liam Reddan of Twisted.
"Skipping from house and breaks to techno and trance, the idea of this mix was jumping back and forth between genres and moods to keep both the listeners and myself respectively on our toes. You can find tracks from some of my favourite releases of 2020, as well as some more well-known classic cuts that still do the appropriate damage today" -

‘Really enjoyed recording this mix. Haven’t got the chance to play a set like this in a good while so this one is special. Been loving the minimal vibes lately so I tried to incorporate a lot those sounds throughout. That Chris Stussy /DJOKO sound is what I was going for and then finishing on a classic from Brandy
Cannot wait to play all these out once everything is back to normal. Won’t be long now.
Enjoy & Keep your distance,
Eoin x’ -
We are over the moon to share this weeks mix with you. It’s a very special one from a very special lady that’s going straight to the top. Hailing all the way from Newcastle England, Meg Ward is an underground DJ who intertwines multiple genres including house, techno, disco, garage and hip-hop within her well established sets.
Most recently her release, Phenol House slingshot her straight to the cover of Spotify’s ‘UK House Music’ playlist and she sits there pretty amongst the likes of Gorgon City, Hot Since 82, Jamie Jones and Gorgon City to name a few.
"This mix is a delve into the darker side of my music taste. I wanted to create a whole journey that could send anyone a bit loopy, especially at the end of a heavy night. Imagine a dark afters, full of people not really knowing where they are.
I tried to jump through genres and capture the vibe changes with each transition: starting off slow with see mask and bonobo, then heading a bit deeper with paranoid london and pangea, followed by a darker dubstep twist at the end with tracks from skream, enigma dubz and enno. Hope you enjoy the journey." -

Stay Safe,
Gary x" -
I’m obsessed with melodic and Italo sounding house lately so that sound features throughout most of the mix. I’m a sucker for Bicep too so I couldn’t resist including their new absolute powerhouse of a track “Atlas”. I went a bit heavy afterwards with some new bits from Brame & Hamo, Big Miz and t e s t p r e s s. I finished with a gorgeous new edit from Shee and managed to squeeze in one of my own tracks: “Countach” along the way,I’ll be putting this track out in the coming weeks.
Enjoy,

Through my time being a commercial DJ Ive learned to mix quickly. I've tried to implement this skill to this disco/house mix to keep it upbeat and fresh. There's some of my favourite tracks on this mix including Danny Kerrigan's "Gold Snake" and Shee's "They Won't Let Me Play". Went a bit heavy towards the end of the mix but pulled it back with a Trance Wax Classic. Enjoy MB xx
