Thanks to the wonderful folks of Playedoh and the fantastic crowd of Dunstable, here are some of the highlights from last week’s night out!
Only a few days until the Playedoh Records night, and just looking out a few things for the trip south. Surely time for a quick mix to think about what sounds might make the playlist. So feet up, glass of port, a mince pie and hope you enjoy the tunes…

Released on 1st October on Delicious Recordings, Dharbour is the second track from the Bean City EP from Animal Picnic and I love it. In some ways I wish I didn’t, but I just do. Those incredibly 80s sounding synth chords and the bassline just work for me. Yes, it has a hint of Beverley Hills Cop-era cheese about it, but I have been listening to this over and over again recently. This is going on the next mix I think!
With some great support from Amazing Beats (thanks Mark!), my first release on Deep Nota, the Redwood City EP, is now available from all good digital retailers!
Redwood City shows my love of the deeper and jazzy side of house music; from smooth electric pianos, lilting trumpets and soulful vocal accents inspired by the sounds of classic deep house to more progressive and contemporary driving basslines, chopped chords and breakbeats.
