Futurism Restated: Mixes Digest #4

10 essential DJ sets plus an exclusive IDM mix from yours truly

We’re back with the fourth installment of Futurism Restated’s Mixes Digest. This week’s is the biggest one yet, with 10 new mixes, plus an exclusive bonus set from yours truly that you can only access here. We’ve got:

• a slamming 88 minutes of decades-old house and breaks mixed with old-school élan

• two complementary sets on the Lot Radio—mixed by two friends, at that—offering dovetailing takes on house, techno, and beyond

• three different drum & bass mixes, for those who love their breakbeats with no, um, breaks in between

• a short-but-sweet session steeped in decades of Venezuelan club tradition

• a cool ambient hour from one of the best in the game

… and more!

Plus, I’ve dusted off an unpublished mix of IDM that I made a few years back, full of classics and deep cuts from Seefeel, Jega, Boards of Canada, Mouse on Mars, Disjecta, Autechre, et al.; I’ve posted it below with a private link accessible only to Futurism Restated paying subscribers, out of gratitude to you all. If you don’t mind saying, I’ve been listening to it a ton, and I think it kind of rules?

If you’re not yet a paying subscriber, permit me a moment to make my pitch: Not only do you get access to all of Futurism Restated’s archives (which are paywalled after two weeks), but you also get access to a pair of subscriber-only playlists that I’m updating throughout the year—they’re already at over 20 hours of combined playing time—in addition, of course, to these Mixes Digests, where I dig into the sets in question with all the attention to detail and historical context that I used to bring to my mixes column at Pitchfork. (In other words, these aren’t just SoundCloud links or 100-character blurbs—these are full-on mini-reviews, my friends.)
