This week’s best mixes include Kowton on Solid Steel, M.E.S.H. playing truant and Amir Alexander’s Guerrilla Soul.
Kowton on Solid Steel.
Bristol-based producer and Livity Sound co-owner plays an hour packed with unreleased gems for Ninja Tune webcast Solid Steel. In Kowton‘s own words: “A snapshot of the kind of thing I’ve been playing recently: stripped back rhythms that work on the floor. New Pangaea, MMM
, Tessela, Surgeon and bunch of other good stuff.” Stream or download below, track listing available here.
M.E.S.H. playing truant. The seventh of Truants’ Functions of the Now series comes from JANUS club night founder and Berlin Community Radio
resident M.E.S.H. Truants describe the mix as “a thick and sludgy, irrepressibly restless collage of modern club sounds that beautifully represents Janus’ anarchic soundworld”. Stream or download below, track listing here.

California-based producer-DJ and Soo Wavey Records label-head Vin Sol provides us with a streamlined but heavily jackin’ deep house and techno set via i-D magazine, in the latest episode of their i-DJ series. Stream below, track listing here.
