Massmix Series

Hypnotic Mindscapes curator and founder Cosmic JD joins us for the next episode of the MASS podcast. Known for delivering intelligent grooves on the dancefloor through both his DJ sets and live performances, JD recently unveiled a new dimension to his sound We first caught a glimpse of this shade at the Seekers x Faciendo weekender at Hoppetosse in snowy Berlin this past February. With tired legs after hours on the floor, we drifted downstairs and stumbled into a deeply considered downtempo set, curated with warmth, restraint, and intention. It was a moment that gently pulled us inward, reshaping the energy of the night. Inspired by that experience, we invited Cosmic to share this reflective mode with us. What followed is a soulful, immersive journey, grounded in emotion, textured in detail, and delivered with care. Tune in to this special set, and keep an ear out for more from JD and the Hypnotic Mindscapes imprint. @cosmicjd

Shakolin is next up on the MASS podcast! We’re honoured to welcome the tasteful Ukrainian selector to the series with this serene, flow-state hour of mixing. Deeply rooted in Kyiv’s Closer club and now based in Berlin, Shakolin carries the spirit of one of electronic music’s most revered institutions wherever he plays. His selections blend old and new into something groovy, deep, and unpredictable, always guided by a keen ear and instinct for the dancefloor. This mix is a testament to his craft, tune in and enjoy! @shakolin

Marie K's intriguing sound caught our attention from the very first listen. As a resident at Amsterdam's Breakfast Club and based in Rotterdam, her skills both behind the decks and in the studio have been nurtured over the years, defining a highly personal presence within dance music. Whether you catch Marie spinning records or playing live on her machines, the passion shines bright. We first heard Marie playing live at Above Below festival - a fascinating sound that balances a sense of playfulness with cryptic and mystical atmospheres. Her DJ sets channel a similar path with influence from contemporary circles in the likes of Ukraine and Uruguay where a spirited sound is front and centre. Tune into this two hour cut of a DJ set at Breakfast Club on the Phonotheque stage. Keep your eyes peeled for Marie's music coming soon on wax ;) @marie-k-music

@n1kol, aka Chris Nicholls has grown into an integral part of MASS. Since meeting him in 2016 following a random Facebook message, we connected and have no doubt formed a lifelong friendship. After featuring on MASS‘s first vinyl last year, his sound began to attract attention leading to a full EP on O.C.D Records with Gavin Herlihy as 'Body Copy'. Now flourishing as a solo artist with several EPs in the pipeline, plus his downtempo live project Between Dreams with Dan, years of quietly crafting his sound is finally coming to fruition. This podcast is a special one for us and we’re proud to present Nikol's first electronic podcast, inviting us into his world of sound.

The wonderful Karine steps up for our 40th MASS podcast. It's an honour to present her beautiful sound which has long been at the heart of Kiev's Closer club.

Lean, tasteful rhythms blend effortlessly, packed with a bite that the Ukrainian sound embodies so well @karine_closer

In this vinyl-only mix, he takes us on a journey through gems both old and new, each with their own uniquely hypnotic and progressive sound. @artuccio

MASS 002 is here! After following the infamous Alien Recordings imprint for many years, we had the honour of hosting Andy Panayi and Alec Stone aka A² in 2019.

After Andy's tragic passing in 2020, we are honoured to present these precious cuts recorded in the late 90s and early 2000s. Andy and Alec's A² project features alongside Andy and Rob Collman's Stopouts project.
