Since stepping onto the scene as a protégé to HAAi under the producer’s Radical New Theory imprint, LUXE has gone her own way with her sound - and in this recent 100% LUXE mix for Crack, you can hear the direction she’s moving as a producer. “This special all-production mix is something I’ve wanted to do again ever since I released my first production mix in 2021,” she explained. “I feel as though it’s a snapshot of where my sound is, at this point in time, whilst also nodding firmly to the future and how it’s developing”. From her recent collaborations with Tom Place to tracks that draw on the producer’s classically trained background, this mix highlights the forward-thinking productions coming from the London-based artist right now.

Dubbed ‘the king of blends’ by fans - or the ‘final boss of breaks’ when he stepped into Mixmag HQ in December - Teki Latex is certainly one to make a name for himself. At his debut Lab LDN set earlier this month, Teki smashed through an hour of hardcore, uptempo tracks sandwiched between a few lighthearted ones. Opening up on the recent dancefloor hit and theme tune from White Lotus, Teki rallied through enormous club and breaks cuts before ending on a very comical version of A-ha’s ‘Take On Me’.

A performance that shook the music world and for sure has made history. Nooriyah brings her father AKA baba to kick things off with a performance on the oud, dancing around the room before she pulls in a drum beat on the decks. Celebrating the best of SWANA (South West Asian & North African) music, Nooriyah mixes traditional with modern and mainstream sounds, blowing the roof off with this set.

Possibly the spookiest intro to a set ever of church bells and howls swiftly move into some industrial techno and even some slap bass. Yes, as you’ve probably already guessed, this is the chaotic mix from the Chicago-based DJ Ariel Zetina. As a wild ride to say the least, this hour of disarray is sure to keep you going all night long.

Berghain resident Sedef Adasi epitomises the excitement of clubbing in Berlin, with squelching sounds and lively drum beats bringing plenty of stamina to this mix. If you can’t get into Berghain, just listen to this instead. It’s (nearly) as good.

Recorded from one of three sets for the Italian DJ across the Amsterdam Dance Event weekend in October, having played twice on her own and once as half of ERIS, the two-hour set shows off the experience of seeing Enrica live. Trawling through spaceship techno, groovy electro, and a healthy dosage of four-to-the-floor thumpers, it’s a listen to get clenched fists moving upwards.

Head of the ever-excellent Nuances De Nuit record label, T. Jacques has become a name associated with melodic, modern tech-house through his productions, DJ sets and releases. As the latest dancefloor-focused DJ to join the ambient-focused Outercast series, the 75-minute mix showcases a more introspective side. Trawling through organic ambient, head-bobbing downtempo and dub, it’s essential woodland walk listening.

For the next instalment of legendary Tbilisi club Bassiani’s podcast, Berlin-mainstay Resom drops a two hours and 18 minutes cut from her last appearance to the venue. The mix showcases her live sound to a tee – straddling the lines between house and techno in deep, hypnotic manner – switching through heads down, foot-stomping tracks to moments of hands-in-the air, subtle euphoria.

Considering much of Hagan’s impact mix is comprised of his own productions, there’s a staggering amount of variation in tempo, genre and mood through the mix — with the ‘Textures’ producer kicking things off decadent vocal cuts and swishing percussion, before climbing to tech-heavy gqom and punchy bass by the middle. Described by the London-born producer as an “attempt to replicate the journey he takes people on with his music,” the mix touches on a plethora of genres from across Africa and its diaspora such as UK funky, amapiano, house — delivering an hour that is varied and provocative, while still high-energy enough to get your feet bouncing under your desk.

Baby it’s cold outside! But don’t you worry — London-based DJ Iona has dished out a generous helping of Vit D with her sumptuous combination of shuffling sunshine bass, gun-finger inducing pop edits and blissed-out hardcore. Building from rattling two-step into a downright naughty application of Jamie Jones & The Martinez Brothers’ ‘Babbi’, the Field Maneuvers resident traverses mid-noughties faves into a plush drop of Natalie Yorke’s ‘Chutney Boy’ by the mid-way point; concluding with some face-scrunching drum ‘n’ bass and a low-end, burning edit of ‘Hey Micky’ for any listeners who’d managed to work up too much of a sweat in the last two hours. Merry Christmas every one!
