Tief Launch party + Mix download

Got two big DJ Sneaks coming up next week from graphics and illustration man HeyGus and DJ duo This & That but today we're going to bring in the weekend with details of one of the freshest new parties to be hitting London town accompanied with an equally fresh mix.



Tief launches at Corsica studios this Saturday 24th September and will be bringing some outstanding line ups to our fine city over the coming months. Captained up by our fellow Trouble Vision resident Matt Hesseltime, Tief will be focusing on the deeper and more melodic end of the house spectrum. This Saturday's opener sees Dial co founder Laurence heading up the proceeds alongside Dutch new skooler Tom Trago, Melbourne's deep disco fiend Tornado Wallace, London's very own Jozif and a host of our favorite people of the moment including Greymatter, Bicep and Casino Times. Residents Matt Hesseltime, Thick As Thieves and John Malcolm Moore will also be on duty to keep things in check.

We also have a superb Tief podcast series opener mix from resident John Malcolm Moore on the Soundcloud player below to get your minds and body ready. Track Listing Soon.

DJ Sneaks #16 Monkey Safari

Oooof! Got super excited when this DJ Sneaks edition came through this morning. Extra added value today with our first double Sneaker image, first DJ Sneaks featuring classic Asics, a seriously tight mix plus a snippet of a rather tasty release.

Hailing from Halle Germany, Monkey Safari have made quite an impact over the past few years smashing clubs the world over with their smooth sample based house. With their own label What! What! Rolling along nicely and the launch of their new label Mambo things are not looking to slow down anytime soon. We caught their set at Gottwood festival earlier in the summer and it was definitely one of our festival highlights. The guys are also members of the mighty Jackmode family and their new 4 track Ep “Big Mama” is out now as the third release on the new Jackmode label. We are loving the release a lot with the opening track “Son” going straight into our sets from now on.

Check out the promo video below for snippets of the release and get on over to Beatport here to cop yourself a copy.

Monkey Safaris Kicks-

Lars’ Kicks (Left) - A very classy pair Asics Gel-Lyte III reworked by Japanese brand Zillion here. The release name “Everything is a remix” is also the company motto for Zillion who are known for producing clothes made with material salvaged from old kimonos!? High quality Japanese fabric “Chirimen” is used on the uppers and the off white looks slick. Nice to see they are getting worn as well as this pair needs showing off.

Sven’s Kicks (Right) - Onitsuka Tiger koi klub model. This super limited pair are designed by the extremely cool Berlin berlin based Koi Club founder Yoske Nishumi. The collaboration series takes the classic 80s Asics X-Caliber kick and has turned them in to a very enviable shoe. Serious style vibes with the denim, black and red colour ways. I would like a pair of these.

This is what the guys had to say about them – “A good friend of ours sent us these strong limited shoes three months ago. We didn´t know how they were going to look like but she said we would definitely like them and yo, she was right. Now we doin our safaris almost every day in these nice boots.... sometimes in Memphis”

The Mix-

A superb mix opening with the amazing Poirot rework of Lykke Li’s “After Laughter” as well as being packed with their own originals and a number of other Jackmode fam favorites. Also note the crazy track going under the name “Safari in Memphis” by “Unknown” slipped in the second half of the mix. Recorded for the regular Jackmode show on Pulse radio this is definitely worth a stream. Check it on the player below with track listing below that.

1. Lykke Li - After Laughter (Poirot Rework)

R.I.P. DJ Medhi

Rumours on twitter this afternoon of the death of one of the greatest DJs and performers of our time are increasingly looking to be true. According to reliable sources Medhi died in a tragic accident earlier today.

We had the pleasure of meeting DJ Medhi a few times most notably after he had laid down one of his stupidly good eclectic and energy filled sets at Lovebox festival a few years back and i can honestly say the man was a legend. A pioneer of French hip hop and electronic music and a true inspiration to young DJs and producers all over the world.

DJ Sneaks #15 Kitsch & Sync

Our latest DJ Sneaks mix for your ears today sent over by Mr Josh Panton. Josh... a highly skilled rave promoter, party purveyor and all round top bloke has put the mix together to showcase the sound of his new bi monthly party venture Kitsch & Sync which will next be taking place at Bar a Bar in stoke Newington on Saturday the 1st October. The venture is being being run by Josh and a rabble of other highly qualified party organising veteran as an excuse to get a proper Sunday party style house music vibe on a more accessible (work on Mondays tends to ruin a Sunday party for me at least) day of the week and more importantly without breaking the wallet.

Entry will be free but guest list only (We'll come to that shortly) and they have also taken the running of the bar for their events into their own hands keeping prices at a minimum. Expect cocktails at near on cost price and a balloon bar as well. Full details and flyer at the bottom of the page and Facebook event page here where you can get your name down on that list.

Josh's Kicks-

A hard worn but very classic pair of Nike Dunk Low Safaris.

Josh sent though quite possibly the best blurb we've been sent yet with a DJ Sneaks image so I'll let his words tell you what you need to know.

"The sneaks were my favourite shoes in the whole universe when I bought them and I only very recently gave them their funeral at Secret garden Party. Nike Dunk Low Safaris. A very rich man once offered me £300 when high on pills at Corsica studios to buy them off me + a taxi fare home to Streatham as obviously Id be leaving shoeless. I turned him down, the £300 would have gone a long way but these trainers are gonna stay with me forever. In their hay day they were without doubt the flyest shoes on the planet. Now they look old & disheveled but wink like an old man in a chair reminiscing over his philandering days."

Josh's Mix.

A mix of slow sexy grooves building up to some meaty heads down house later on. This is what he had to say about it. "Mixed at 8 am after getting home, on my turntables. No funny business, just Serato & records. A vein and slightly tipsy attempt to try and showcase the music from Kitsch & sync."
