Ransom Note

Next to take the reins behind our illusive Monday mix series is a familiar face.

Harri Pepper is a well known Welsh man based in London, as a disc jockey he continues to represent Stamp The Wax as their chief resident whilst also throwing parties in both Bristol and London. At the young age of 25 Harri digs deeper than most, his musical realm grows wider with each waking mix and this set is a true testament to that. In the coming months he will be holding down a residency at the newly launched Ghost Notes club in Peckham which will be juggled in between his regular Balamii radio show and promoting parties with Admin.

Next up in our humble mix series we are delighted to welcome Peak & Swift. A duo operating out of Germany who have helped to establish a community of sorts surrounding the infamous Salon - Zur wilden Renate in Berlin. The pair are enigmatic disc jockeys playing extended sets which reach across house, disco, techno and dub. The goal has always been to steer clear of the somewhat contrived minimalism associated with Berlin and the music industry within the German capital. As wild outlaws the pair have managed to hone their experience in a sound far which stretches far beyond the limits of the city walls.

This mix is an introduction to the realm within which they operate, a blend of cosmic house, italo and the far reaches of dance.

Roll up! Roll up! It's the weekend and we have a set ready to blow your socks off. Rahaan has been involved in dance music since the 80's and now maintains a presence as one of the hottest and innovative selectors on the circuit. From house to disco, soul to funk and all the way back again he has moved from strength to strength. Growing up in Chicago he was schooled from a young age and spent a large amount of time honing his craft at house and loft parties under the watchful eyes of the godfathers of house.

From cassette tapes to dance crews Rahaan has always been at the forefront of what's hot, a truly inspirational selector with a strong sense of style and presence.

Anyway, it's time to cut the talk.

Chrissy is a true veteran of the dance music scene, with a career that spans decades, genres and continents. Hailing from deep in the American mid-west, he came up through the rave scene, first gaining international recognition via his Murderbot moniker pushing his own take on Jungle but, over the years he has never stood still. After moving to Chicago 10 years ago he’s continued on his journey of hard work and constant self-renewal, ending up as a resident at the legendary Smart Bar, and running the excellent Night Owl Diner imprint alongside Alex Burkat. I caught up with Chrissy as he passed through London on a recent tour and we had a long, and in-depth chat about the journey that’s brought him to where he is today. Instantly warm, funny and with deep knowledge of music, this was one of my favourite conversations to date and my mind was slightly blown to discover that Kansas City isn’t actually in Kansas.

Earlier this year we spoke to the pair behind perhaps one of the most important record labels in dance music at present. Permanent Vacation has been a force to be reckoned with for many years having released music by the likes of Todd Terje, John Talabot, Tensnake and many many more. However, less is known about the pair who actually run the label and their own independent musical output. Benjamin Fröhlich has actually released several EP's on the record label himself and has yet managed to maintain a low profile. His music draws on modern day club influences and has received wide support, he's better connected than most.

We felt now was the perfect opportunity for him to showcase his skills as an artist in his own right as he delivers a singular mix.
