Here’s what Juno had to say about the EP:

“Matt Jam Lamont & Scott Diaz first joined forces more than a decade and a half ago and have been at it ever since, remixing Raze, Craig David, All Saints, Adina Howard, Rosie Gaines and more, as well as making waves with DJ appearances like their iconic B2B Glastonbury appearance. Having formed their Undagrnd Freqz label in 2020, serving up a brace of floor-slaying classics including a collaboration with US garage pioneer Todd Edwards, and 'Haribo' with Smokey 'Bubblin' B, clocking up more than a million streams and 36 million views as part of Fred Again's now legendary Boiler Room session. Their latest, 'The Best of Both Worlds', nods at their skill for fusing the best elements of both house and garage across four tracks of razor-sharp vocal chops, bumpin' beats and classy production flavours. Absolutely essential.”

The 'Otherside' mix series returns with a brand new mix and a brand new look.

If you don't already know, The ‘Otherside' mixes represent another side of what i’m about as a DJ and artist, showcasing styles that either I've been into for years but don't always get to play out, or that have nods to genres that have influenced my sound and direction, or are perhaps just more obscure types of vibes that are geared more towards listening than dancing.

As a DJ and music fan before anything else, and as a music collector and lover of such a broad range of music, it really made sense to curate these mixes in terms of mood and theme. I mix them completely live and a lot of the time I've never played the tracks before so it’s all new in terms of how I attempt to make it all flow. I also try not to play a record more than once in any episode of this series.

Episode 008 is dedicated to the goodness of gospel house. Whether it's the church-soaked soul of DJ Spen, party praise jams from the likes of Moodymanc or the genius sampling in Patrick Topping's 'Look Sharp Say Nowt', there's little more uplifting, joyous and life-affirming than a great gospel house record. I've curated about 30 of my favourites here. Enjoy!

Please drop me a comment or a message if you'd like any track ID's.

Here's the recording of my 90 minute set at the recent Soul Fusion event held at Mama Roux's in Birmingham. Tracks from Darius Syrossian, Amine Edge & Dance, Mad Villains, E-Smoove and Dungeon Meat plus a whole bunch of my edits.

Please share if you're feeling it!

Otherside 007 journeys across various styles of house with nods to UK Garage, 2-Step, Electronica and Jungle / Drum & Bass and is a collection of some of my favourite records to share. 'All Back To Mine' is based on the kind of vibes you'd hear if you came back to my place after the club or maybe for the pre-party, and is a good representation of some of my influences, musical heroes and/or most nostalgic moments throughout the years.

I’m pleased to present Otherside 006 - Deepest Oceans. They’re all so fun, but putting this one together really was a joy. I mix them completely live and most of the time I've never played the tracks before so it’s all new in terms of how I attempt to make it all flow. I also try not to play a record more than once in any episode of this series. As you’ll know by now, each one follows a theme and this edition is curated around deep, sophisticated records that somehow seem to speak to us on higher levels, or at least they do to me - tracks with exceptional production, chords, textures, ultra-soulful vocals and beautiful progressions, and as if by some form of alchemy they capture that magic that succeeds in conveying deeper meanings to us and wrangling out every last drop of pure, yearning emotion.

It’s a dedication to those transcendent moments and connections we’ve all experienced with house and dance music: from late nights and early mornings talking to strangers and making new lifelong friends, to unexpected afterparties and adventures, to sunrises and sunsets in a foreign place and the pure bliss and impact of those formative, carefree times that literally change your DNA.

I’ll forever be thankful for all that dance music has given me. In everything that I do musically, I’m simply trying to share a piece of that with you. The weak become heroes. I hope you'll listen and share.
