This vinyl mix pushes the pitch control allll the way down, laying down the laid back vibe of many Sunday sessions spent at Singapore's Kult Kafe.... a perfect dose of sun-drenched disco, afro, broken beats, hip hop and soul. Enjoy!

039: The All Night High

uk@texturedjs.com (textureDJs) — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 10:27:00 +0800

There are only two things that can keep you high all night. Either a long distance flight - say, the 13 hours between Singapore and London - or having amazing music pumping through you.

Whether your feet are stamping in a club, or your head is lost above endless march of clouds, this is a mix of the very deepest, for those nights that go forever...

(Mixed live at 30,000ft, somewhere between the Caspian Sea and the Czech Republic, using Meta.DJ, on 22-23 Dec 2012)

textureDJs037 - the way forward

uk@texturedjs.com (textureDJs) — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 16:24:00 +0800

Hey folks. A well ecelctic, forward leaning textureDJs podcast #37 for you. A mix that just goes up and up and up, through some funk, hiphop, serious soul, superbly deep and minimalist house, disco, fabulous funky breaks, into b'more, baile funk, breaks and electro... before ending the ride with a tune that I wouldn't be surprised if Ennio Morricone had a hand in...

Enjoy!

textureDJs 036 - steve lee guest mix

uk@texturedjs.com (textureDJs) — Thu, 5 Feb 2009 19:09:00 +0800

We don't do this. We just don't. In three years and three dozen podcasts, we've never put forth a mix that didn't come from the textureDJs posse, or from a good friend we've spent some great nights spinning records and boozing with...

Well, we're gonna chuck that out the window today. A couple of months ago I came across a chap called Steve Lee, who was putting some simply marvellous mixes into the ether through his facebook group Another Late Night. Quality work that definitely needed some exposure to textureDJs listeners.

Steve is one half of the monthly party 'Mondo' from the DISCO NOT DISCO team. This party is held at the Horse & Groom in Shoreditch, London and tends to concentrate on the leftfield disco scene, mutant disco, acid grooves and classic italo. Steve also is Friday resident at DISCO NOT DISCO at the Lincoln Lounge in Kings Cross, where he's invited textureDJs down to play in March. So perhaps we're just getting the podcasting and boozing in reverse order this time!

So, wrap your ears around Steve's guest mix, pure.mp3

1. Model 500 - Starlight
2. Oblio - Escape
3. Woolfy Vs Projections - Absynth
4. Lodo - Volcano
5. Blackbelt Andersen - November
6. Barnabun - For My Love
7. Tokyo Knife Attack - Love Vandal
8. Kevin Yost - Photo Shoot
9. Kirby - NIghtwriter
10. Lovebirds - Gentle
11. Roy Davis Jnr - I Have A Vision
12. Marc Romboy - Sonora

You can also catch Steve's show over at Danceradioglobal, playing chilled out and electronic grooves.

Good gravy... textureDJs podcasts two months in a row! You'd think we'd made a new years resolution to get our sh&t together here or something! Do you think we can make it to three?

A wicked guest mix this month courtesy of Simon Platts. Simon's been rocking the joint with us at Thirst Lodge in Oxford and The Gallery in London over the last six months with his feature live sax playing alongside textureDJs on the decks. He's pretty damn handy on the wheels too, so get your ears on and enjoy this!

Terribly sorry, but we've had some technical problems of late with getting live podcasts in the can. A few trips to Kenya have gotten in the way of regular podcasting as well. But I think we're just about back in business.

Plus, well, we've been a little busy...
