Had another opportunity to present a selection at @closerrecordstore couple weeks back. Always such a pleasure connecting over music with @glennoctober and the crew. Truly community first and it's felt from the moment you step inside. They got a high quality archive on both Youtube and SoundCloud. No streams have crashed or recordings lost in the making of this mix. Link in the usual place.

Which slide is your fav? Full set now on YouTube! xla, Berlin-born and raised on its dance floors, channels the city’s melancholy into an hour ride. Informed by years spent on the other side of the booth, he began mixing vinyl himself over the past year. Recently emerging into the scene as an artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, he devotes his energy towards digging for records that inhibit sounds to move bodies and minds with raw, timeless energy. #realunderground #vinyldj #deephouse #berlinsound #realhousemusic
