We're really excited to bring you one of London's most exciting DJs currently bubbling up through the scene. Drawing inspiration from sounds of the 70s discotheque, this selector keeps people moving with mixes of Disco, Old School House, and an eclectic selection of Vocal and Dance tunes. Influenced by 90s music from New York and Chicago, MiNNA combines her joy and curiosity of music & dancing by finding new tracks and digging through old records, which she began doing from the age of 12.

"For this mix I wanted to open up with a few Disco gems then head to some more Housey flavours, as well as dipping into some Vocal and Garage House I’ve found digging recently. Currently I’m really into proper Old-school 90s House and wanted to play some tracks I love from some iconic labels such as Madhouse Records, Soulfuric, Z Records and BPM King St. Sounds. As with most of my sets I invite you to listen and feel as if you are having a three course meal (somewhat), from the starter to the dessert, it will be completely different to how you felt when you first sat down." - https://soundcloud.com/minnahoney

Conor's back in the hot seat for our first show of the year.

Jamison Isaak has been releasing music as @teendaze since 2010. Over the past 13 years, his music has navigated a multitude of different sounds, and his 2021 LP Interior landed him the JUNO Award for Electronic Album of the Year. This year, he released 4 EPs, his most recent, Quiet City, on his newly launched label, Easy Listening Recordings. He's also been busy DJing across North America in the past few years, and recently started a residency on Dublab. We're very much looking forward to welcoming him into the SB guest mix series with a lovely little opener for 2024!

"Ever since things began opening up in 2021, I decided I only wanted to DJ, and not perform live any more. I've found DJing to be so much more satisfying! One of my favourite parties in recent years was just a few weeks ago at Public Record in New York City, and I wanted to try and bring some of the same energy from that night to this mix. Ease into things gently, and end things with some proper 2 AM party music." - Teen Daze

Enjoy this one and we'll catch you again in 2024 👋

"Hello, it's Cosmonection and i'm very happy to present you this mix for SlothBoogie. It's a podcast with tracks that inspired me for my latest EP on Pont Neuf as well as some new material that i've been able to release this year. Close your eyes and take a trip to the seaside!" - Cosmonection

After spending years running club nights in Edinburgh, Wallace has since put all of his energy into his own musical journey. His sound has stemmed from a unique upbringing, as he was exposed to music from around the world thanks to his parents who loved music and nature respectively.

Having played his debut at the legendary Panorama Bar in November, played extensively at festivals like Gottwood & Burning Man, combined with recent releases on Rhythm Section, CWPT, Studio Barnhus & Permanent Vacation as well as remixes for Gilles Peterson on Brownswood, make Wallace an essential one to watch!

"A glimpse into the beautiful, bold, bonkers world of Bollywood, Bhangra & other forms of Indian music. An hour of sounds from some of my favourite Indian musicians alongside a handful of unreleased edits of mine." Best, Jimmy

We're excited to welcome Arkajo to the mix series this week. He's well known for his work with Dorisburg as part of the one-of-a-kind house duo Genius of Time but we're also huge fans of their Aniara Records label with its beautifully deep sonic soundscapes and have coveted so many of their releases over the years.

With his background in jazz composition, live performance and behind the scenes studio work, he is equal parts producer, musician, dj and technological wizard. A keen understanding of sound, rhythm and harmony is evident on his releases as well as in his dj sets, locking your body in rhythm and exploring distant vistas in your mind.

"This is a mixtape in the literal sense of the word, recorded in my living room onto cassette tape. I've primarily selected records that have been in my bag for the last couple of months, along with some new bits that I find very exciting and inspiring. It's a mix on the housier side, gradually descending into a darker vibe, signing off with a remix of one of my tracks by one of my favorite producers and DJs, Polygonia. This remix will be featured on the next instalment of the Arkajo label. Enjoy!" - @arkajo

Frederika is a London based international DJ originally from Bulgaria whose genre bending sets have graced the soundsystems of many of London’s most coveted venues. You can see her spin records regularly at brilliant corners and she has shared line ups with artists such as Dar Disku, Lakuti, Sadar Bahar, Mafalda, and Cosmo Sofi at various venues across town. Along with playing at festivals, clubs and listening bars she also frequently appears at NTS, Balamii and Soho Radio and she has a regular monthly show on The Boat Pod where she explores her vast music collection. Expect to hear rarities and oddities of all genres from the 70’s blended with modern four to the floor heavy hitters, resulting in a playful musical journey for the mind, body and soul.

"I’ve been digging music that’s heavy on percussion recently and in this mix I’m exploring the clubbier four to the floor side of it. All the songs I’ve weaved together here are drawing from different cultures and continents, starting real slow with a hypnotic ritualistic groove that combines African and Nyabinghi drumming with a Buddhist Sanskrit mantra and ending with a sambass classic. Hope this gives an energising and groovy start to your weekend." - Frederika

Tambores En Benirras is the alias of Graham Newby AKA 'DJ Gripper'. A month after the release of his debut album as Tambores En Benirras, 2021’s fabulous Orbe Dotodo, Graham Newby’s life changed forever. After years of living with a visual impairment, his sight had deteriorated so much that he was declared “registered blind”. For a man who had spent decades dividing his time between travelling, DJing, running clubs and lengthy sessions in his studio, it was a genuinely life-changing moment.

It was against this backdrop, and the need to alter his working methods that Ondas Horizontales, the second Tambores En Benirras album, took shape. Inspired by a mixture of daydreaming, visualisation, immersion in other people’s music (escapism that provided mood enhancement rather than a specific set of ideas) and long periods spent soaking up the sun in Ibiza, the album is the most vividly detailed, sonically colourful, and sun-soaked collection that Newby has released to date.

Newby’s declining sight forced him to stop spending long spells staring at a screen, undoubtedly slowing the production process. Yet it also allowed him to reconnect with his emotions, appreciate the storytelling and mood-shifting potential of music, and mine mind’s eye memories of places and spaces that have meant much to him over the years.

Tambores En Benirras 'Ondas Horizontales' LP is out now on @nunorthernsoul
