Otherside Mix 004 is dedicated to the warm up. That oft-misunderstood, but oh-so crucial opening set. With very few exceptions, it’s where we all start from and even though so much has changed in clubland and with the craft and culture of DJ'ing, the importance of a good warm up DJ to set the mood is still paramount.

It’s a great opportunity to play a few of those under the radar finds, vinyl edits and personal favourites without the pressure to drop obvious anthems. It really is a rewarding experience to be able to hand over to the next DJ having done your job well, with the vibe built up just right, and the party ready to go to the next level.

Ultimately, I think being a great warm up DJ means putting your ego to one side and understanding that a great event with memorable moments starts with you playing the right records, with the right energy, at the right time. So in that spirit, I’ve put together a 2 hour live mix of music that represents something like my ideal warm up set. Enjoy…

Music from DJ Spen, Ridney, D. Ramirez, Studioheist, Large Music and more on this first podcast of the new year.

The ‘Otherside' mixes represent another side of what i’m about as a DJ and artist, always mixing LIVE and 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.

In this edition of the ‘Otherside’ mix series, we head straight for the mainroom - upfront tracks designed for maximum impact. Every record you’ll hear in this mix has been tried and tested on late night dancefloors - I guess most of it would be classed as tech house, but whatever we label it, it’s my personal take on the kind of underground vibes I like to deliver in the mainroom - jackin’ drums, driving basslines, plenty of vocal hooks and serious peak-time power.

The theme for this edition is ‘jazz house’. There’s been an explosion of these jazz infused house records in recent years - some of it is made for the dancefloor and some of it is most definitely outside of those confines, but it’s an evolution which owes as much to crate-digging beatmakers like J Dilla and Pete Rock as much as any house producer.

I see this style as a synthesis of jazz, soul hip hop and lo-fi - often there’s wonky chords, squelching synths, loose beat programming and dusty vinyl-inspired aesthetics, and sometimes it doesn’t have any or all of those components but what ties it all together is that there’s always particular jazz leanings, or the clever use of jazz samples scattered throughout.
