Big up Batu for allowing us to relive those oh-so-sweet moments of the first summer back by releasing his peerless set at the 2021 edition of Waterworks. The mood on the dancefloor at the time was of unleashing pent up energy in delirious joy, and that comes through in much the way through the recording — albeit with spine-tingling moments of melody shining through amid the more hurtling moments of momentum. Magical.

Newcomer Lo5ive has had a huge year following his debut track with Chicago legend Kim English — and his recent mix for Dummy goes to show just why he’s had big breakthrough. Traversing Miami bass, electro, breaks, funky, and reggaeton, Lo5ive’s selections include tracks from UK bass specialists including Breaka, Denham Audio, and Samurai Breaks. “With this mix, I wanted to showcase all of my influences and inspirations across multiple genres,” Lo5ive explains. "It was about trying to find the pockets and ways to blend smoothly between them while maintaining the vibe and staying true to my taste.”

Flying the flag for UK bass and club cuts, Bklava jumped on the decks - and the mic - for this month’s BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. With a decent number of unreleased tracks from the likes of Skream, Tibasko, and the producer herself, Bklava also delivered her own vocals on top of her tunes live in the mix.

The Bossy LDN crew have the ultimate vibes that can pull you through any day from bad to good. Hyping up the names of female rap and hip hop such as Stefflon Don and MehkaDon, Izzy also scouts tracks that are guaranteed to get your hips shaking.

Split in two, both Texi Latex and Etienne 4U play an hour each in this set of mashed-up tunes. Teki kicks things off with a cocktail of French anthems, booming house and even some clashing techno before Etienne 4U jumps on to bring some pop classics into the conversation.

We’re back in the luminous toilet with Pablo Bozzi. It’s a trance disco vibe in there today which captivates, at the very leastl a tapping foot. I mean it’s impossible to hold yourself back from moving to a bit of Kim Wilde or Madonna!

You hear that? In the distance? That’s the sound of everyone who didn’t manage to catch Bristol duo Ghost Phone’s set at Headroom’s hearts breaking in two. With a solid reputation for buoyant pop edits, delectable hip hop instrumentals and free-wheeling breaks, Ghost Phone are at top speed on this outing, dishing out some beloved R&B, pulse-raising footwork and glorious two-step bangers. The pair mix from Nasty King Kurl’s frenetic edit of Rihanna’s ‘Work’ into a grinding Doja Cat ‘Get into It (Yuh)’ flip, before delving into a raucous amen banger sampling Papa Reu’s ‘Mr. Goodbye’ — wrapping everything up with Joe Burgess' furious Usher ‘Yeah’ remix. We have been fed!

In a pairing surely better than chips and bread, Sicaria Sound turning their UK bass expertise to Ilian Tape’s podcast series really feels like a match made in heaven. Kicking off with some deep-spanning, modular dubstep that ploughs through a sundry of percussion, warbling synths and low-end tech — the pair pick up the tempo around the halfway mark, diving into the dark, eerie recesses of the club. Unafraid to meander between party-ready vocal edits, uncanny trickling chimes and quacking basslines, Sicaria Sound contribute one of the best mixes in the series to date.

Taken from her Traffic LA vs TUNNEL Boiler Room set in LA, this hour-long foray into breakneck techno and audacious dancefloor fodder from Smartbar resident Ariel Zetina is a joy ride from start to finish. Mashing up evocative golden era house cuts, spine tingling acid and more sexy club vocals than you can shake a stick at — Zetina demonstrates exactly what makes her such a unique DJ. Who else can oscillate this expertly between frantic gabber, Beyoncé edits and bold electro rollers? The kind of mix to make you pine for the club even if you’ve just left the club.
