Monday Morning Mixtapes has been a continued fixture of STW since 2013, two years after the site’s initial curation. The weekly episodes come digitally each Monday, relaxing listeners into the week with sounds from DJs around the world.

Now, an ode to its tenth year will be celebrated by DJs CC:DISCO!, Bradley Zero, Jennifer Mayanja, Pender Street Steppers, George The Poet, and more.

STW founders Rosie Cain and Aaron Levitt will also feature on the mixtapes, as well as contributions from continued Stamp The Wax residents Harri Pepper, Mr Holiday, and Zipporah.

Five cassettes will be released including two mixes - one on each side - each 90-minutes long. The mixtapes are available now until November 9 for a limited run time.

Each guest “has played a part in the site’s history, across editorial, films or parties”, according to STW, with co-founder Aaron Levitt adding: “all five guests have played a pivotal role in moulding, inspiring and growing STW over the last decade.”
