Fastlove Mix
Taking over Tapes #121 is Belfast-born and Manchester-based Fastlove, one half of the brains behind one of the North’s longest-standing queer parties, High Hoops, and a resident DJ at Freak Queer Rave.
Innershades Mix
Joining us for Tapes #108 is Belgian DJ and producer Innershades. Influenced by electronic body music, acid house, rude electro and nineties trance, Innershades’ raw yet wistful productions sound like what could be the OST to the golden age of Belgian club life.
Closet Yi Mix
Hailing from Seoul, South Korea, DJ and product Closet Yi joins us for our next instalment of Origins Tapes #42. Working at the Hyundai Card Music Library as a resident DJ and librarian for two years influenced Closet Yi beyond dance music genres, which has become the source of inspiration for the unique atmosphere and feeling in her music. This summer saw Closet Yi’s latest EP land on Yeti Out’s leftfield music imprint Silk Road Sounds. Embarking on a journey through acid house, breaks and high-octane techno, the ‘Speed Heals’ EP is inspired by late night drives through the city, passing by transient locations and melancholic car journeys in the early hours of the morning.
Varda Hayes Mixx
Hailing from East London, DJ/Producer Varda Hayes is behind the newly launched, Vinyl Only imprint Intamissions. Kicking off the first 12” with a 4 track EP. Each track encapsulates the darker side of breaks, further merging elements of trance, acid and jungle.
