Mixes Of The Week: 8/6/15

This week’s top mixes include Four Tet celebrating his new LP, a summer mix from Oneman, Business as Usual for Luke Solomon, and Andrew Weatherall “sequencing some records together without the joins being too apparent”.

Four Tet’s New LP Celebration. To celebrate the release of his new album Morning/Evening, coming in early July, Boiler Room invited Four Tet to play some of his favourite records. According to Boiler Room’s Raj Chaudhuri, “minutes before he was about to go on – the power cut out for the whole venue leaving everyone in pitch black darkness for 15 minutes. It left the crowd hungry for some dancing when the lights finally came back on, skilfully soundtracked by 90 minutes of pure magic from Mr. Hebden.” Watch above, full track listing here.

A Summer Mix from DJ Oneman. South London’s DJ Oneman provides a preview to his summer club and festival tour – including appearances at Glasgow’s Sub Club, Lovebox and Worldwide Festival – with a mix that features trademark Oneman edits, as well as tracks from Drake, Future and Rihanna, and unreleased material from Champion, Jacques Greene and Four Tet.
