7 tracks that turned Love International into pure bliss on the Croatian coast

Andy Hart, Beach stage, Saturday evening

One of the great things about Love International is that you pretty quickly begin to trust the musical nous of the organisers, especially when chancing a set by someone you're not too familiar with. Several such contributors catch Mixmag's eye during the week including Manchester-based Glowing Palms whose jacking, beanpole frame accompanies Ruf Dug on both the beach stage and the Ruf Kutz boat party.

Another is Honey Soundsystem who, despite their acclaimed international reputation and recent Lab SF appearance, this Mixmag writer has never heard in the flesh previously. They lay down a great set of deep and driving underground house in the Olive Groove on Saturday, accompanied by the similarly enjoyable Gideön, of Block9 fame. In their American sound and strict adherence to the house genre Honey Soundsystem manage to stand out from many others who willingly cross genres.

Yet another new introduction is Melbourne DJ Andy Hart. Mixmag's ears prick up when he drops this recent, uncompromising, heads down remix.
