Mixes

Welcome to the monthly Mystery Mix, where nature's finest disc jockeys show off the girth of their collections and try to outfox the DJH detectives. Your job is to hear some great music and make your very best efforts to identify the tunes. Once the secrets are out we'll add a track listing.

PBR Streetgang May 2012
PBR Streetgang are the new kids on the block. Or street, as the case may be. The pair – Bonar Bradberry and Tom Thorpe – learnt their craft at Leeds’s long-running Asylum club before dabbling in the studio, firstly with edits and lately with original productions, with their recent release on Hot Creations garnering plenty of attention. We like them and we don’t care who knows it.

  • Onur Engin April 2012
    Onur Engin is the Turkish funkmaster behind numerous killer edits on GAMM, Disco Deviance and Z Records. His vinyl only edit treatments remain faithful to originals yet add just the right amount of percussive deftness to give them some dancefloor feet. Fans of his mixes and DJ sets confirm his skills are not to be sniffed at. Onur has turned in a belting mix of soul music for DJH.

  • Debukas March 2012
    Not many people can hold claim to being a teenage pop star, taking the Japanese charts by storm, signing to Grand Royal and hanging with The Beastie Boys, but Debukas is one such chap. More recently, he’s forsaken the love of teen Japanese girls for gritty and well-crafted Chicago and Detroit influenced electronic music (check his recent ace EP on 2020 Vision). We love him.

  • Bicep February 2012
    Bicep and their blog Feel My Bicep are the work of a northern Irish duo whose releases and remixes for Domino, Wolf Music, RVNG and others have got them a lot of attention over the past year. In the summer they toured the USA ending in a coveted support slot for Horse Meat Disco at MOMA's PS1 party. They also released their debut EP on NYC’s Throne Of Blood label recently.

  • Crazy P October 2011
    The Crazy P trio – Danielle, Chris, Jim – formed in the midst of acid house tomfoolery in the environs of Manchester and Nottingham. Having thrown a few singles out there as a plausible means of avoiding doing meaningful work, they found themselves with a career and even several albums. Their newie, out now on 2020, is a bit of doozie. You should check it out. They also DJ. This is what they sound like.

  • Joakim September 2011
    As well as producing some of the wooziest and wayward dance music we've heard, Paris-based Joakim is also the fellow behind the brilliant Tigersushi label, responsible from some seriously ace releases over the years. As well as remixing some of our fave tunes (‘Pleasure From The Bass’) he’s also put a series of increasingly diverse and daring albums, the latest of which is Nothing Gold.

  • Beautiful Swimmers August 2011
    Beautiful Swimmers are Andrew Field-Pickering and Ari Goldman, the boys wonder duo from Washington of muthafunkin’ DC and this is their darned fine mix. You may know them from their rather tasty releases on their own Future Times record label, or you may not. But you will soon, mark our words.

  • Zaf And Mark July 2011
    This month sees a serious pair of collectors, Mark Taylor and Zaf Chowdhry, combine forces in celebration of their about-to-be released compilation Americana on BBE this month. Both have been collecting since the 1970s, as well as DJing all over the shop. Zaf will be known to many as one the fixtures behind the counter during the heyday of Reckless in Soho. Mark also releases edits as one half of La Homage duo.

  • DJ Garth June 2011
    Although originally from the UK, DJ Garth forged his considerable reputation as part of the Wicked crew (alongside Markie Mark, Jeno and Thomas) whose legendary parties are now part of the folklore of the west coast of America's party scene. In ‘20 Minutes Of Disco Glory’, he is also responsible for one of the iconic house records of the 1990s, and for many years he ran the excellent Grayhound label, where dub and house met and generally had a good old grope.

  • Neville Watson April 2011
    Neville Watson, the younger brother of photographer Gavin, is the reggae fan who discovered acid house in 1988. He swapped the rocksteady for Trax and has been building a reputation ever since, firstly at Checkpoint Charlie and lately as a gun-for-hire all over Europe. He has released a slew of singles under his own name and in conjunction with KiNK, his work appearing on prestigious labels such as Clone, Dissident and Rush Hour. Expect the unexpected with this mix.

  • Den Haan March 2011
    Den Haan are Matthew Aldworth and Andy Gardiner, whose partnership was born from a shared passion in leather disco, Italo sounds and early 80s high camp. Using original 1980s electricity, they seek to recreate the golden era of Simonetti, Tantra, Carpenter and Cowley. When they DJ, this is what they sound like. Their debut album, Gods From Outerspace, is out in March.

  • Matthew Burgess February 2011
    For those unfamiliar with the cut of his jib, Matthew Burgess, alongside his mucker Jolyon Green, is resident at our own party Low Life. The pair of them had a memorable release out last year on Claremont 56's Originals series and Matthew has also been known to knock out the occasional sterling edit.

  • In Flagranti January 2011
    In Flagranti, aka Alex Gloor and Sasa Crnobrnja, have been making sweet, sweet music since 2002 through their own label Codek (as well as a host of others). For the true In Flagranti effect, you really have to go to their Codek website and watch the homemade videos to the songs. They're grrreat. Here we present a mix in two parts, the first by Sasa, the latter by Alex.
