LOUIE VEGA - PHONICA MIX SERIES #44 (257kbs-m4a/114mb/62mins)
Phonica podcast: 3rd January 2018
One half of Masters At Work and iconic NYC house DJ and producer, Louie Vega, steps up for the 44th edition of the Phonica Mix Series. What better way to start 2018?!
One of house music's most prolific figures, Louie Vega is a man who needs little introduction. Having dedicated the majority of his life to music, Vega has cemented himself as one of the most accomplished DJs and producers within the dance music community over the course of his thirty-something-year career. With a penchant for Latin, Funk, Soul and Freestyle, Vega has crafted his own, unique brand of soulful house under his various aliases and band associations; Nuyorican Soul, Elements Of Life, Hardrive and, of course, the legendary Masters At Work collaborative project with longtime friend Kenny ‘Dope' Gonzalez.
Ahead of Louie's Phonica in-store event on January 3rd, where a very special 5×12" pack featuring all kinds of unreleased gems will be sold exclusively on the night, we caught up with the man himself for an in-depth chat about his formative years as an up and coming DJ in The Bronx, his works with Kenny ‘Dope' Gonzalez and much more

LUKE VIBERT - PHONICA MIX SERIES #34 (258kbs-m4a/112mb/60mins)
Phonica podcast: 27th February 2017
British electronic music composer and producer Luke Vibert delivers the latest instalment of the Phonica Mix Series.
Widely known for his diverse output spanning multiple genres simultaneously, the Cornwall-born artist has been steadily releasing music since the mid 90s under different monikers, most notably as Wagon Christ, Kerrier District, Amen Andrews or Plug.
Luke's genre-agnostic body of work has found home in labels such as Mo Wax, Warp, Rephlex, Planet Mu, Lo Recordings, Ninja Tune and more recently also I Love Acid and Hypercolour. His last album, - 'Bizarster', came out on Planet Mu last year under his given name. As some sort of collage, all of his many sounds could be found in there. We can't wait to hear what the international man of mystery has in the pipeline for 2017.

KUTMAH - OFF THE RECORD MIX SERIES #53 (257kbs-m4a/115mb/62mins)
Phonica podcast: 13th January 2025
The Off The Record mix series kicks off its year with a bonafide legend in the game. Having close ties to artists like Flying Lotus, Ras-G & more Kutmah has blurred the lines between beats, hip-hop, new wave and Lo-fi. Having flipped the script on sampling and making his own sound from a little bit of column A and a little of column B, the DJ (whose mixing skills are nearly unparalleled), has always found himself indistinguishable in terms of genre. This has gathered him a very firm fanbase who never know what to expect from a Kutmah set. That being said we did not know what to expect either, and in this excitement received an hour of pure raw distorted guitars, ambient waves and lo-fi beats.

GREAT LIVES - PETER COOK PICKED BY JON HARVEY AKA COUNT BINFACE (320kbs-m4a/64mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 4th May 2026
Peter Cook was at the centre of the satire boom of the early sixties, both on stage with Beyond the Fringe and with his Soho club, The Establishment. Later he became a famous double act with Dudley Moore, and was also less well known as Lord Gnome, the proprietor of Private Eye.
"I can't believe that after 600 episodes of Great Lives, no one has ever nominated him before."
A funny half hour on the life of Peter Cook, featuring archive of him both young and old. Jon Harvey makes the case for this comedy great along with the voices of biographer Harry Thompson, Jonathan Miller, Ian Hislop, Richard Ingrams, and - in an interview from 1993 - Chris Morris. Also includes an extract of The Strange Death of the Establishment from Radio 4 in 2004
The producer for BBC Studios is Miles Warde

"This is a mix of some of the new tracks I have been working on and released along with some tracks that I am feeling right now. Great music that will both work in a club but also in the car when you are driving down the M25. When I was putting this mix together I was feeling more of a street vibe and that guided my ears somewhat while also keeping the variety." - Adam F

RICHARD FEARLESS - BLEEP MIX #216 (257kbs-m4a/112mb/60mins)
Bleep podcast: 19th November 2021
"The mix was recorded at my studio, Metal Box, which is situated on a peninsula where the River Lea meets the Thames. I recorded it late at night, looking over the river and the adjacent steel factory. I used two Technics 1210s, my trusty old Vestax PMC-46 mixer and a RE-20 Space Echo pedal.
I only DJ with vinyl, a habit I don't think I'll ever break. Some of these records, like the Shake's Frictionlized and Florence, are 30 years old, so please excuse the scratches.
I didn't plan this mix, just decided on opening a record and rolled from there, which is how I play out - searching for blends and that magical feeling when two records meet and form something new, channelling the feeling of unity and escape that occurs when you get lost in the music." - Richard Fearless
