Henry Compton Guest Mix - DHA Podcast #074

After tearing the roof off our DHA Weekly radio show last month, we invited Henry Compton from Lioness Presents in Sydney to join the podcast for episode #074. This is only our second all-vinyl mix, and what a quality piece of work Henry has put together.

Henry is a Sydney-based DJ, and along with his Lioness Presents partners, is responsible for showcasing some of the world's finest DJs at a variety of underground warehouse parties over the past 12 months. Lioness Presents have hosted the likes of Linkwood (FIRECRACKER RECS), Mark de Clive-Lowe (TRU THOUGHTS), Pablo Valentino (MCDE/ FACES), Steve Spacek (WARP), Raf Daddy (DFA / Two Bears) and Inkswel (RUSH HOUR / BUREK).

Even though Henry has almost 2 decades DJ-ing experience it's only recently that he has pushed himself further. Previous Henry has held spots on radio shows on Bondi FM and 2SER FM, and worked behind scenes as a label manager for an independent distribution company.

The next event for Lioness Presents (www.lioness.net.au) is the one and only Recloose (Rush Hour / Planet E) on August 23rd at GoodGod Small Club in Sydney, so if you're in the area get down to it!

When we asked Henry his motivations and track selections for this mix, he said "it's a selection of predominantly new tracks from some of my favourite producers that have been rocking my boat lately and also fitted the DHA podcast brief. I definitely wanted to create a mix with a flow that works well for home or headphone listening. For those familiar with DHA you may notice a couple of similar tracks to my set for the DHA Weekly radio show (bit.ly/006-HenryCompton), I hope that like for me this isn't an issue as they literally haven't left my record bag ;) There's a couple of bits that aren't digitally perfect, but that's the joy of vinyl... It was fun to put together and I hope you get enjoyment from repeated listening."
