State of independence

Scouring through the blogs once again on this mix. It’s summer so leaning more in the direction of trance and blissed out beats, setting the scene with an airy reworking of a Florence and the Machine track before traversing a path towards Agoria’s strung out Grande Torino. Tom Stephan beefs things up a little (twiddling [...]

Jubilee throws down some serious jump-up jive

Strange love in Moscow

Well, it all started with this remix of the MJ track ‘Stranger in Moscow’ which was unfamiliar to me as by the time History came out, I’d largely lost interest. Well, that track didn’t even make it onto this mix in the end. I ended venturing a little further leftfield into more tribal territory. Don’t [...]

Smooth, dark house from Darling Farah on Phase02

Don’t know too much about this guy other than those peeps at Phase02 have been plugging him. Apparently he’s the ripe old age of 16 but packs a rich heritage, having Detroit roots. Already his mixing shows maturity well beyond his years. Here’s a tracklisting or check out more information on Darling Farah.
