Don’t Be Afraid artist Mr. Beatnick contributes a mix of starry-eyed house for the latest in the Dummy Mag mix series. Describing the mix, the in-demand producer said “There’s a few of the usual suspects, like a track from Lukid’s excellent album, a new track off Bnjmn’s new project, a friend of ours who goes by Do Re Me, a track off Paul White’s latest beat tape. The Vessel track is a big favourite, generally it’s a fun selection of some of my favourite people and things out there at the moment.”
LWE met up with Semtek at a local cafe in his East London neighborhood to talk about his start in music, making epic-length tracks in France and the importance of keeping his endeavors close-knit and personal. He also put together our 134th exclusive podcast, an energetic blend of house and techno that is a perfect mix of contemporary and classic styles.
Semtek has provided the latest installment in the podcast series hosted by the ever impressive Dummy Mag. The all-vinyl selection isn’t accompanied by a tracklisting but you will recognize cuts from Green Velvet, East Men, Joey Beltram and Daze Maxim amongst the tapestry of classic techno 12“s.
Claws For? has contributed the first release to the new DBA DUBS 10” series. To introduce you to his sound in the lead up to the release you can now download a free track from the Hackney-based producer via the XLR8R Magazine website. Just follow the link below.
With news of his latest single, Sun Goddess EP, now firmly out of the bag, Mr. Beatnick caught up with top music zine Truants to talk over what he’s been up to recently. Make sure to check the mix he delivered for their Truancy series as well, which veers from house to hip hop and back again, taking in tracks by kindred spirits like Hodge, Kelpe and our very own Photonz.
Photonz have provided an exclusive mix for Dazed and Confused magazine. The Portuguese duo continue to trouble dancefloors with their recent DBA release, Love Spectre EP. Dazed is a magazine that anyone involved in music in any capacity with will know well. For their mix, Photonz pulled out some unheard edits and forthcoming tracks from both their own label One Eyed Jack’s and others they are affiliated with. Look out for an unreleased Semtek edit of Simple Pleasure in there.
