Marking the 500th edition of Nesa Azadikah’s Tehran Night mix series, a 10-hour closing set at legendary Tbilisi nightclub Bassiani from France’s Voiski is resurfaced from 2023. Weaving a sonic tapestry of trance and techno, the first part of this extended mix is a journey for the senses that’ll make you feel like you’re right there at peak-time.

It’s safe to say it’s been a big year for our latest Cover Star KETTAMA — all that gigging has had an impact on his creative outlook. "This year has been wild,” he reflected while explaining his Cover Mix approach, which combines playful elements of his debut album ‘Archangel’ with his signature house and bass favourites. “Enjoy a little combination of what I’m currently into,” he says.

EMA is a wizard when it comes to her live sets, as captured here in her recent performance at France’s pe:rsona festival. “I felt a connection to this crowd in particular, and that’s not something that happens often,” she says. From its experimental, low-frequency start right through to the jungle, dub and breaks cuts at its finale, this set is a measured journey through bass music.

Looking for a set of old skool house and disco? Well look no further. Set 800ft in the air, looking across the London skyline, this set is as high in vibes as it is location. Brimming with soulful tunes, Ella Knight champions that original and classic house music sound that still sounds flawless.

Not many DJs can go from playing the tumba live before dropping a Doechii edit but Jarreau Vandal can. The DJ, percassionist and singer dives into his eclectic mix of global influences that keep you fixated on what could be next. 

A match-up of DJ royalty, HAAi and Hiroko Yamamura come together in the home of house for Chicago’s Arc Music Festival. Deep basslines and the kind of drops that you can only react to with either a screw face or by jumping out of control - this set gives you that festival experience.

While breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, can you feel the sun labelmates Call Super and Parris showed us how it can also be the most vibey with their go at NTS Breakfast Show this month, taking bleary-eyed listeners through just about every sonic universe that could be acceptable before you’ve brushed your teeth. Tears for Fears, Ice Cube, Jimmy Reed, Yves Tumor, Joe Tossini, Missy Elliot... you name it, it’s in there. Rounding off by mixing George Michael’s ‘Fast Love’ into Lana Del Rey’s ‘Video Games’ feels like a double shot espresso in audio format. Cmon, let’s seize the day. 

Losing your marbles at a golden-hour festival stage might feel like a distant memory right now, but Madrid-hailing DJ Sugar Free is here to rejog your memory — sharing a recording of her set on the Selectors Stage at this year’s Dekmantel Festival. Hard in some moments, soft in others, high energy in its entirety, this two-hour mix feels like a masterclass in festival set storytelling, swinging from pulsating deep house to twitching electro at the blink of an eye. Just a few more months to go until we’re back right?... Right?

17 years deep, and still no one is doing it like Night Slugs, and for the label and club night’s KINDRED takeover this month, Girl Unit showed us exactly why that is. Rapturous, rowdy and best of all, silly — this hour-long mix pairs up sweltering bass bangers with hypnotising breaks, handing out the kind of pop edits that only Girl Unit can get away with. Scattered bass bins mixed into Nick León’s Lady Gaga ‘Telephone’-sampling ‘Telefono Behaviour’? Phunk’s remix of The Ones’ ‘Flawless’ seemingly kicking in out of nowhere? A breaks edit of Ghost Town’s ‘My Boo’ to round things off… in the year 2025? Certified, delicious nonsense. 

Josi Devil accompanies his massive new release on Nervous Horizon with a captivating new mix for Crack. The Bristol-based DJ and producer is locked in across the hour, artfully building up a dark, atmospheric melange of sub-bass pressure, ghostly garage, wasahed out ambient, pulsating techno and more.

New York and Berlin collided in June as Sustain Release and Climate Of Fear joined forces for a party at Backsteinboot in the German capital. This set from Australia’s Kia and Colombia’s Bitter Babe expanded the globe-trotting array of sounds on show, marrying the the former’s knack for meditative transcendence and the latter’s diverse rhythms in a set that’s at-once sleeky and unruly. 

Is it a mix? Is it an album? The lines are blurred more than ever on this enchanting, fluid release from Call Super which asserts there’s life in the mix CD format yet. All of the tracks are produced by Joseph Seaton, under his foremost alias Call Super, notable secondary moniker Ondo Fudd, and an assortment of brand new names, such as Conny Slipp and DJ Flowerdew. His mark is felt across the 12-track, hour-plus arrangement, which flowers through organic-sounding textural wonk to a screwface closer, flowing thorugh a patchwork of intriguing and indiosyncratic sounds in between (sometimes as if through water, sometimes as if through treacle), spanning lilting jazz, glistening ambient, dynamic melodies and percussive flair.
