DJ Rozwell - NONE OF THIS IS REAL (Three Tickets): Despite me playing all the bangers in my sets, I do actually enjoy some peace and quiet from time to time. I always dipped in and out of the internet music scene and have been digging a lot more ambient vibes lately. ‘Three Tickets’ is one of the most chill tracks on DJ Rozwells Full Length Instrumental Hip-Hop record ‘NONE OF THIS IS REAL’ and I could go on and on for hours, how amazing the blend of experimental beats, dungeon synths and foggy samples throughout the whole album is, or how you are meant to play it on shuffle so it is a different record every time, or how the bandcamp version is the only real one you should listen to…

Lithe - Not a Pessimist: This track is completely amazing. Huge sounding heavy percussions and an experimental kick pattern keep me guessing my own moves when dancing to it, while the ambience and massive horn stabs (I don’t even know what that sound is) bring an almost techno-kind of vibe to it. It’s hypnotic and engaging at the same time and probably sounds absolutely insane on a big sound system.

Estoc - A CREEK RUNS THRU JERSEY (HIROSHI YOSHIMURA FLIP): My roommate and favorite b2b partner in crime neacuajo introduced me to Philly-based producer and all-around queen Estoc a few years ago and I immediately fell in love with the creativity of the edits, mash ups and sample flips. This track is probably my favorite so far of her, combining a heavenly sample of Hiroshi Yoshimuras ‘Creek’ with big hefty kicks and the most tasteful use of the squeak sample I have ever heard.

Nia Archives - Luv Like: Jumping into some more faster stuff I recently discovered producer and singer-songwriter Nia Archives through her amazing remix of PinkPantheress’ track ‘Nineteen’. Just two weeks ago she released her new EP ‘Forbidden Feelingz’ and I immediately fell in love with it. Blending jungle, dub and D'n'B with soulful melodies, which I still hum in my sleep, this track particularly lets me feel like the sun is never going down.

Kaizo Slumber - The Carbon Menace: Of course it would not be a proper episode by me without a real fast and furious banger in it. Lybian-German producer Kaizo Slumber from Tripolis released his first full length record ‘The Kaizo Manifesto’ under his new artist name in February and packed it full of amazing fast-paced rave tracks ranging from Hard- and Breakcore to Hard Trance to Wii-Sports type menu music on acid. And while this project is completely insane it always keeps a fun and upbeat vibe without getting too cheesy for my taste.:
