Off The Record Mix Series 67: Black Bones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Black Bones have spent years making a virtue of the unexpected. The Belfast duo of Aaron Black and Timmy Stewart first came together through a shared obsession with records, eventually turning that chemistry into a much-loved series of edits, releases for the likes of Optimo, Hoga Nord, Duca Bianco and Emotional Response, and DJ sets that refuse to sit neatly in one box. Their Off The Record mix follows the same instinct, beginning in low-slung, dubby territory before gradually gathering momentu
Phonica Mix Series 147: Tom Sharkett (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tom Sharkett has spent the last few years carving out a distinctly wonky route between Manchester’s DIY scene and the dancefloor, as a founding member of W. H. Lung and a producer in his own right, with releases on Optimo Music, Okay Nature and Ransom Note Records, collaborations with System Olympia and Raf Rundell, and remixes for the likes of Pip Blom, Glok, Nation of Language and Nightbus. His much-loved edit of LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Home’ even went from bootleg to official DFA release, while hi
Off The Record Mix Series 66: Sarahtonin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With a growing reputation for mood-lifting selections that refuse to sit neatly in one box, Sarahtonin has spent the last few years moving between the dancefloor, radio booth and festival circuit with the same broad-minded approach to music.

Phonica Mix Series 146: Harri Pepper (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are DJs who build a reputation through big releases, and then there are those who earn it one dancefloor at a time. Harri Pepper falls firmly into the latter. Equally at home behind the counter at Jelly Records as he is behind a pair of turntables, he's spent the past few years becoming a familiar name across the UK's most discerning parties, with appearances at Fabric, Houghton, Gottwood, Glastonbury, Rally and a growing list of all-night sessions that showcase the depth of his record bag
Off The Record Mix Series 65: Benedikt Frey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some mixes are snapshots of the present; others trace a much longer arc. Benedikt Frey's contribution to Off The Record belongs firmly to the latter. Built around jungle records he first bought as a teenager, it's a deeply personal excursion that reconnects with the sounds that shaped his musical identity. That sense of history has long defined Frey's approach—as a DJ, producer and label co-founder, his sets unfold with patience and intuition, favouring emotion over convention. Here, memories of
