Some mixes take their time. This one earns it.

This week’s Spotlight Mix comes from Shades of Play, the project led by Derreuq out of Washington DC, and it moves exactly how you’d expect from someone who’s been deep in the craft. No rush, no filler, just a steady build through groove, tone, and space.

There’s a clear thread running through it. Records like Leaf Flying (Traumer Remix) and Metal Dreams set the early pace, locking into that deep, hypnotic pocket. Then it stretches out, pulling in moments from Blooming Fields, Rivaldo and Hired State Of Unconsciousness, the kind of cuts that don’t shout but stay with you.

Derreuq’s style sits somewhere between deep house, progressive and techno, but it’s not boxed in. You can hear the range in the selections, from the warmth of Always is Never (Greener Grass Version) to the heavier pull of Hottrak. It’s controlled, patient, and built for long sets where the room is locked and the lights are low.

As one half of Shades of Play, alongside producer Felipe Rivera, he brings that selector mindset front and centre. You can tell this is someone who’s played proper rooms, Flash, Halcyon, TBA Brooklyn, and understands how to hold a floor without overplaying it.

This isn’t about big drops. It’s about flow. The kind of mix that works just as well at home as it does in a basement at 3am.

Lock in and run it front to back.
