In the last few years I’ve been recording DJ mixes at particular moments in the Earth cycle and putting them out on the podcast - Earth sessions - they are a way for me to mark the season, the moment in the year and how it makes me feel and how it makes me want to move through electronic and dance music.

This is a new one. A live mix to honour this darker time of the year, and the darker times unfolding on Spaceship Earth.

Recorded in my kitchen on a Friday night after a long walk in the woods.

I wanted to start slow and ambient, to acknowledge the slower liminal space of winter and gradually pick up the pace.

This was a mix of vinyl and digital - spanning 30 years of releases.

From ambient electronica, early rave inspired house, breakbeat, melodic techno, tech house and some progressive bits.

Respect to all the artists and producers for these sonic offerings.

I hope the mix moves you in some way

Movement, dancing and connection is a way through these unravelling darker times.

We must stay together.
