Solid Steel (27th October) In Hour 1 we welcome Helena Hauff, who releases her new EP "Have You Been There, Have You Seen It" today via Ninja Tune. Describing the mix, she told us "It’s a small selection of feel good electronic sounds from the heart of gentrified Hamburg” which means music from the likes of I-F, Hieroglyphica and Adapta. Highly respected for her energy, skill and unique selection, her profile has rocketed in the last two years as she has taken on a BBC Radio 1 Residency, delivered her debut BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, played a legendary B2B set with Ben UFO at Sonar 2017, graced the covers of Crack Magazine, DJ Mag and earned herself the #12 spot in Mixmag’s “Top 20 DJs of 2016”. Check out the new EP here: https://helenahauff.lnk.to/have

We hand over to James Grant from Anjunadeep in Hour 2, the independent record label based in London, which started in 2005 and is known for music from the deeper end of the house music spectrum. He told us;
“This mix is mainly a collection of future releases on Anjunadeep, with a few other recent favourites sprinkled in. It gives a flavour of our new Anjunadeep 09 compilation and hopefully works as a bit of an intro to the label for anyone not already familiar with us. Overall we try to sign music with melody and emotion - one artist we’re particularly excited about is Lycoriscoris, a Japanese producer who contributes the third track in this mix. That particular track is more dancefloor-oriented but he’s working on an album for us and writes beautiful, soulful electronica that I’d hope followers of Ninja might enjoy too. Another favourite of mine is track 6 in the mix, by Martin Roth. It’s a hypnotic, posh trancer that pretty much embodies the sound of Anjunadeep.”
