Mona Yim – the Chinese-German producer, composer, DJ, performer, and all-around musical polymath – is our guest on the FMB Mixtape Series this week. As always, we first caught up with her to find out what she’s been up to lately…

I recently played my first ever DJ show joining DJ Seinfeld at his sold out live show at KOKO Club in London and just released my debut EP “Gotta Do This, Gurl” on Rekids. I have been very busy in the studio and in sessions and just played a livestream at HÖR Berlin this week.

The mix was recorded at Riverside Studios in Berlin. They have a little DJ Room here where I come to practice pretty often. I always love to try telling stories with my mixes. For this mix I featured artists that have been inspiring me on my musical journey for a long time, some new tunes I love as well as some unreleased music. It’s quite energetic, bouncy and a little bit melancholic as well – it features a lot of vocal edits which is something I really love to play around with.

Up next…

I’m working on lots of new music and some really exciting remixes as well. Besides that I’m preparing for more live gigs later this year and my second EP that will come out in autumn. Lots of amazing things happening that I’m really grateful for – thank you so much for having me on this mix! This is such a dream come true! <3

Much love,
Mona x

For this week’s episode of the FMB Mixtape series, we reached out to Rosie & Nadia of Kiara Scuro, the London-based DJ duo and Balamii regulars. As always, we first caught up to find out a bit about the mix & what they’ve been up to lately…

We kicked off festival season at the end of May at Wide Awake, it felt good to be back at it after just catching the tail end of summer last year. The week before last we were at Else in Berlin with a lot of our Spun Out Agency crew and then we’ve just come back from playing Glastonbury – nursing our wounds after a very silly weekend. Thanks to Dave for booking us on such a glammy stage, and to everyone who danced with us, it was such a vibe!

The mix was recorded at Rosie’s house on 2 XDJs and a DJM mixer. It’s a club mix really. It’s full of music we’ve been digging recently, and the kind of sounds you’ll hear us playing in the club, from progressive trance and squelchy acid to weighty electro and bass. If you need a pick me up post-Glasto, this one’s for you…

Up next…

You can catch us on 9th July at The Yard in Hackney Wick for the next installment of Secretsundaze’s 20th birthday celebrations, then we’ll be at Tola at the end of the month in Peckham, before heading over to Zurich in early August. 

Music-wise we’ve got a track coming up for the lovely lads at GODDEZZ alongside our pal Timothy Clerkin at the end of July, keep an eye out for it!

For this week’s episode of the FMB Mixtape Series, we welcome X CLUB, the project of Brisbane based production duo Ben Clarke and Jesse Morath. First, we caught up with them to tell us about the mix & what they’ve been up to lately…

After releasing our “Everything Comes True” EP with Skin on Skin, we made our move over to London. Since then, we’ve been playing our debut shows across the country, as well as Ireland. In between, we’ve been preparing for our next couple of records, which we’re so excited for!

This mix was actually recorded in Dublin. We were in Ireland for a few shows, and we stayed in Dublin for a day to relax and see some friends, while we were there we had the opportunity to record the mix at a studio near town. 

We wanted this mix to embody constant groove and consistent energy. We have been really loving raw grooves & percussive techno, music to make you move. We’ve also added a few forthcoming tracks of ours.

Up next…

We’re playing our first show in Bristol on the 24th of June, then onto Manchester with Mall Grab at Hidden. In August and September we’ve got some really exciting shows across the Netherlands, France, Poland and Germany. Details coming soon! To top it all off, we’ve got 2 records coming out, on some of our favourite labels, as well as a compilation with Tred, Julian Muller & Dina. We can’t wait for the year ahead!

DJ Gumja – Retrospective
Oxia – New Decision

Next up on the FMB Mixtape series is a mix from Inside Moves, the Belfast-based collective who have been a staple in the Northern Irish electronic scene since 2016. As usual, we fired some questions over to find out a bit about the mix & what they’ve been up to recently…

We’ve literally just got back from playing at Flash Festival in Italy – an amazing food, music and wine festival in the hills of Tuscany. The energy and people were incredible – would 100% recommend it. We brought a big Belfast crew with us, so the Italo-Irish vibes were strong!! We ended up playing an impromptu b2b with Myd on the Friday and then closed the Giardena stage on Saturday. 

We recorded the mix in Belfast at audio maestro and general local legend Tomas’ secret studio. 

We mixed it up with some new stuff we’ve been enjoying recently that we are getting summer ready and some of our older favourites we’ve used across our sets over the last years. 

Up next…

This summer is our 7th Birthday of throwing parties and playing in Belfast – so got a busy one lined up. We play AVA Festival next week, and then we’ve got Skatebard, KI/KI, Ross From Friends and salute lined up for parties across the summer – buzzing for it!

Next up on the FMB Mixtape series is a mix from Pagan, an emerging producer and DJ from Ireland whose debut EP was picked up by Lobster Theremin’s 1Ø Pills Mate and his latest release via Cheeky Music Group. As usual, we fired some questions over to find out a bit about the mix & what he’s been up to recently…

Hi Guys,

Thanks for having me on!

The last few months have been nicely busy, between finishing my next two EP’s and playing some great gigs. At points during the various lockdowns, I honestly questioned whether a career playing music in clubs would ever be viable again, so to now be playing regularly at home (and occasionally abroad) is a great feeling.

Most of the tracks were found whilst on various busses and trains around Ireland, but the mix was recorded during a trip to Bilbao in the Basque country. I toyed with different ideas for this mix, but in the end, I went for quite an eclectic mixture of different genres – which is how I tend to play in clubs. The mix begins on a house-y tip, then quickly moves between breaks, techno, and trance – basically all the sounds that influence my productions. I’ve also included some unreleased tracks from myself that I’m looking forward to getting out there over the coming months, as well as an intro that includes some audio I found on my phone in the voice memos app. It’s from a house party where I got to see a load of mates that I hadn’t seen in ages at the time, which felt fitting after the last two years!

Up next…

Next up for me gig wise is Life Festival, which I’m really excited about, and then in July I make my Bristol debut at Fields Of Fantasy Festival. On the productions front, I’ve got three different remixes on the way, and EP’s on two of my favourite labels.

Tracklist:

  1. Sunshine Light Emulator – All Ovals x House Party Recording
  2. Joris Voorn – Missing
  3. Fearz – Averix

  5. Aroma Pitch – Oxi Rain (Club Mix)
  6. Ewan McVicar – Punch The Wall
  7. Denham Audio & Groovy D – I’m Ready
  8. Rove Ranger – Millennial Millennium
  9. DJ Plant Texture Pres. A662 – Baby, You Just Discovered A Ray Of Light
  10. ID – ID (Pagan Remix)
  11. The Chronics – Techno Sounds Better With You
  12. Mauro Picotto – Freetown
  13. Pagan – ID
  14. False Persona – Roll Call
  15. Antigone – Dance
  16. DJ Heartstring – ID
