Cycles
Since Grimmy chose Real as his next big thing and it sold 30,000 copies, Gorgon City have been super busy. Not only is Intentions/Cycles out and about all over the place (and great) but they’re touring more or less everywhere and it seems everywhere they play has a new Gorgon City mix on their website. Fabric, Parklife, Vice… See what I mean:
Australiana
It’s been a while since I’ve written about Cassian but he’s one of those people whose mixes you can play even when the people you’re with aren’t really keen on house music, or it’s not really an appropriate occasion (I always get told off for playing banging techno when I’m hosting a dinner party). They’re nice builders, melody-friendly, and always with a little bang at the end.
He’s just finished a mammoth tour of the Americas and the title implies that he’s pretty happy to finally be home.
His new track On & On is a free download too, and pretty yummy:
Catz n Dogz Essential Mix
This is SO DAMN GOOD. I still love how utterly dirty Catz n Dogz play, when Greg and Voitek are so polite and mild-mannered to chat to. Even tracks like their They Frontin’ which are already filthy, are stripped out here until there’s just pure dirt. I’m not sure anyone else could mix in HNNY‘s sample of Brandy and Monica’s The Boy is Mine and still make it sound cool.

01. Jacek Sienkiewicz – Dream Machine
02. Youandewan – Disarray
03. Catz N’ Dogz – Fixnation

14. Till Von Sein & Area – Lafayette (Unreleased Version)
15. Fantaboys – Pump It All
16. Alex Cortex – B2 (Catz ‘N Dogz Edit)
17. Hannah Wants – Teardrop On The Fire
18. Detachments – H.A.L. (Andrew Weatherall Disco Dub)

Something else to look forward to as well is a free download album Untitled coming in June from Catz n Dogz’s Different Marks collaboration with the late Martin Dawson. Always giving.
Havens + Hart
Havens + Hart are new to Stranjjur, and their Sunset Lullaby is one of those tracks that you find at the end of a really great mixtape, and you’re a bit sad when it’s over and it fades out to silence.
They are Minneapolis residents J.D. Havens and Aaron Hart, and they play honest, deep house – melodic and chilled. As such, they are to be found firmly around the 120bpm mark, you’ll see them on labels such as Sleazy Deep and Electronique, and remixers include The Revenge. I like this consistency of style, as well as the ability to not only warm up, but pick up, a crowd with their sets. This one lilts along so nicely I’d listened to it twice before I realised.

Mix of the Week
Mixmag have chosen Cardiff boys Bodhi for their mix of the week, and fuck YES do I agree with them. This mix is so great, it’s so upbeat, it’s so retro, it’s completely what I want to listen to all the time at the moment, and I tend to feel that way whenever I see a little message pop up that Bodhi have a new release or a free download to share.
In the year that they’ve been around (storming into my consciousness with a remix of Angels by The XX), Bodhi have already distilled their sound into this very modern interpretation of everything that was fun about 90s house, and they call it ‘groove bass.’ Soulful vocals and piano melodies run through their tracks, and they segue seamlessly into the likes of retro legends MK and Kerri Chandler.
Their EP Culture/Deliquesce is out now on Grizzly, and you can catch them at Junk in Southampton with the amazing T.Williams this weekend.

A Bit of Derrick
This is just what you need to get yourself going on what seems like a long week already. 45 minutes just isn’t enough.

Yay! A new mix from Hot Since 82 just in time for the weekend.
