airpod #14 : Bnjmn

Arriving on the scene in 2011 with two lauded albums on Rush Hour ('Plastic World' and the recent 'Black Square'), the enigmatic BNJMN demonstrates that the demand for forward thinking music remains as high as ever.

Although known primarily for his evocative live set, on this airpod set BNJMN opens up his personal taste and gives us a flavour of what is moving him at the moment.

Recorded in early November on the south coast of England, this DJ mix features tracks from Bodycode, Ben Klock, The Field and Efdemin amongst others.

airpod #13 : Geddes live from Watergate

Not unluckily for us – this is a set which has long been anticipated in the series. Geddes steps up to debut an airpod mix, fresh from his Halloween exploits at mulletover, where the famed party crew pulled in over 3,500 to their most 'hallowed' event.


This mix was recorded live at Watergate, back in the summer, and we thank the club for letting us share the set. Containing some old favourites from Geddes' own murmur label, including Jamie Jones' remix of Tom Demac 'Crewcuts & Curls' plus music from Kink, DJ Sneak, Baby Ford's Trelik imprint, Steve Bug's 'Traffic Signs' and a mulletover favourite in the form of Liberty City 'If You Really Love Someone'.

 

 

airpod #12 : Pezzner - The Sound of Summer

Pezzner – 'live PA performances hold a special place in my heart. Sometimes I think its odd that while in all other genres of music live performance is the key way for an artist to represent his/herself, in electronic music it is primarily accepted for an artist 'perform' on stage by playing other peoples music.

I get it for sure - dancefloor dynamics and all that, but sometimes it makes me wonder what else is lying beneath this DJ hiding behind the records. I feel like the artistry of performance on stage can go much deeper and way beyond the artistry of 'track selection.

This recording was made early this summer and is a live eight-channel mix-down of my music, and this performance is truly what I am about.

The set takes you through my earlier productions in the last few years, such as my remix of Josh Wink and Blakkat's simple and effective 'Tweek & Roll'(Shaboom), and Neil Quigley's 'Air Raid' (Urbantorque) to some of my most recent works like 'Native Language' for Crosstown Rebels' RebelLion imprint. I hope you enjoy this set.'

airpod #11 : Burnski

Currently in the midst of the strongest year of his career to date, a revitalised Burnski is buzzing with energy and brimming with new ideas.

'Tropical Nights' is out now on Real Tone, plus the long awaited return EP on Dessous 'Sometimes Takes Longer'. There is more Burnski music planned for Real Tone in the summer and remix highlights include for Robert Owens on Backtobasics and, together with Robert James, a re-work of Simon Baker’s 'Grey Area' on 2020 Vision.

His airpod set sees him eschew the common or garden variety, 'how deep can I go' podcast style and delve into his vinyl bag for a club-orientated mix 'in all its glory'.

A nomination for Best British Breakthrough DJ rounded off the end of 2010, however plans continue for Burnski live, with a debut album surely in the offing in the near future. Keep watching.

airpod #10 : Jacuzzi Boys

The airpod series brings up double digits with an introduction to one of our newest talents.

First appearing in 2009, Jacuzzi Boys have quickly racked up releases on much respected German labels like Kindisch, levelNONzero and Cecille Numbers. The hot tub loving Offenbach natives have since taken their two-man DJ show to some of Europe’s finest clubs. With this mix, they introduce the deeper side of their style, moving away from a typical peak time DJ set...
