This week’s best mixes: two-step treasures, analogue acid and Cologne techno.
Joyce Muniz delivers some simmering deep house. The Brazilian DJ lays down a mix for Thump, including her own remix of Maya Jane Coles’ ‘Burning Bright’.
Following last week‘s decidedly cheesy Wedding Bangers mix, Plastician returns to what he does best: a 90-minute mix of deep UK garage. Don’t expect the tired old classics in this one; it focusses on darker cuts from the likes of Groove Chronicles, Zed Bias and Dem 2.
“This one’s extra special, especially as it’s the first mix that veers away from the 140 bpm mark.” Plastician also resumed his annual Sound That Speaks Volumes mix after taking a break last year to get married and go honeymooning. Loves a good wedding does Plastician.
