Mixpak FM: Air Max ’97

Mixpak-FM-AirMax97

Mixpak FM 074 comes from the Netherlands born, New Zealand raised, and Melbourne resident Air Max ’97, whose debut EP Progress & Memory came out on Liminal Sounds earlier this year. His EP title certainly rings true in his sound – self-describing his music as “oblique club trax”, Air Max ’97 joins an impressive group of young, boundary-pushing producers who were reared on and inspired by post-09 London sounds & visuals. With his recent work including a remix of Kuduro producer Nidia Minaj’s ‘Tarraxo LHE Da’, he has follow-up EPs in the works for both Liminal Sounds and London’s Trax Couture as well as his bi-monthly Melbourne club night, Club Esc.

His Mixpak FM takes us on a percussive and often dark ride through Chicago drill, Ballroom, Techno, and of course his own productions.

Mixpak Sound System (aka Jubilee & Dre Skull) was honored to be back at Notting Hill Carnival this year thanks to Red Bull. It was a special show, with special guests Fox, Lady Leshurr and the full Boy Better Know crew, as well as Fox on the mic! You can listen back to the set here, as well as Dre Skull’s 2012 set with Machel Montano from the archive and check out the photos below!

After dropping his edit of Popcaan’s ‘Naughty Girl’, Dubbel Dutch has delivered an entire EP of Hyperwine Refixes. Sprinkling a bit of Caribbean spice over songs by Tinashe, Ellie Goulding, Brandy, and Gyptian as well as Popcaan, Dubbel Dutch has featured some of these remixes and edits in his live sets, but now you can relive all of those halcyon moments, and stream these songs online as the ‘summer on tap’ winds down.

From his interview with The Fader:

This EP is a selection of previously unavailable remixes and edits that I created for mixes, live sets, and just to share with friends. All the tracks are Caribbean influenced and intended to summon uplifting, energetic, and motivational feelings in the listener. “Hyperwine” just felt like a good description overall for that sort of sound. I like to imagine them as warp-speed tools for transporting people to bacchanalian ecstasy. Hopefully, they’ll also help some ravers cure their post-labor day carnival comedown.
