In an age in which new artists compete for attention it can be notoriously difficult to be heard amidst the noise. William Florelle is an up and comer who first caught our attention on a release via WotNot music earlier this year. His soul tinged take on house oozed with quality and showcased an artist ready to step up.

The London based producer is turning heads very quickly and this make showcases his true capabilities as a musician.

Earlier this year Luke Standing surpassed himself whilst releasing perhaps what was his strongest piece of music to date. Under the alias of Blue Hour, the UK born Berlin based producer has acquired a reputation for intricate production and an inspired take on techno. "The Midnight Sun" EP saw him interlink gorgeous soundscapes and driving percussion in a manner which was somewhat reminiscent of the glory days of Love Parade. A true demonstration of his capabilities as a producer and powerful statement of intent. The release was as much focussed around ambience as it was dance music and as a result we decided to invite him to contribute to our Monday series. He steps up with a stunning assortment of tracks, a special mix.

Based in Frankfurt Shan might have already been a familiar face amidst the locals, however, his international presence is most certainly on the rise. The producer is perhaps best known for his interaction with Gerd Janson's Running Back imprint on which he has released a string of EP's and collaborated. He has worked closely with Tuff City Kids and has further released on the likes of Beats In Space, Edhid and The Healing Company. His dynamic take on house music is progressive yet draws upon formative roots within the genre, a fiercely talented disc jockey he is very much in demand. We are delighted to have him contribute to our mix series.

To some this mix may come as little surprise, a familiar face now with an independent story to tell. Baba Ali has recently went solo following a previously longstanding pairing as part of electronic dance duo Voices Of Black. The duo were signed to Wolf + Lamb and rose to success in line with the prominence of the label. International dates across America, Europe and beyond all followed suit. However, life goes on and individuality requires an outlet. Baba Ali has since launched what looks to be a promising solo embarkment and recently released his debut EP in the form of "Nomad". Low slung soul with a hypnotic twist, the EP was a fierce statement.

We are delighted to be able to welcome him to contribute to our mix series, he describes his tape as follows.

"The mix is essentially the music I was listening to while working on 'NOMAD'. I also wanted to dedicate the mix to the migrants who are currently risking their lives every day, navigating dangerous waters in search for a better life."
