Russ (DJ Dribbler) lives in Ibiza, DJs at Pikes, Paradise Lost, Ibiza Sonica, OpenLab, WOM, Standard Hotel and Malanga Cafe. He has written two novels which have achieved cult status on the underground scene, "Harry's Kebabs" and its sequel, "The Take Away". He was a resident DJ at Pure in Edinburgh, Tour Dj for Orbital in the 90s, spent 10 years djing in NYC, was a resident on Amsterdam's Red Light Radio for 4 years and is now a resident at Pikes.

"I met Ken (Slothboogie) recently, when he was over DJing at Pikes. We spoke about Edinburgh. He knew of Pure. We chatted about the influence and contribution from Edinburgh in the 90s to today's goings on. It is a vast diaspora of artists, producers, writers, record shops, distributors, DJs, promoters and punters worldwide. I live in Ibiza now, I've lived in many countries and cities, and I'm lucky enough to hear and play alongside some world-class DJs every week. You always keep learning.

I spent years hounding black music from the USA, and then suddenly, the penny dropped with Americana.

It was all down to JIM, aka Jim, aka Ron Basejam. The harmony and melody and pounding soulful drive to the music, it had it all. I play that in the first hour. In the second section of the mix, I play a lot of tracks sent to me by friends. Andy Kidd lands mixes every year and they go through DJs here like a dose of the measles. Random House Project is also worth a mention this year for the Slave edit on there and other remixes. It's great to be able to share them with you."

Euan Fryer - Skipper at Athens of the North has been collecting and DJing rare soul, funk & disco for over 30 years. Known in the scene for his scottish club in the late 90s/early 200s called Motherfunk, which was strictly soul and funk45sm, much loved, and always chock-full. His collecting, djing and knowledge lead him to running labels for Jazzman Records in Camden for 11 years. After this he started the much-respected Athens of the North label around 10 years ago which has gone from strength to strength, moving from not only rare soul and Funk releases, but new music as well.

"This mix is a taste of my favourite releases from the label and also a preview of things to come in the next year or so."
