Compiled & Mixed 34 (DJ Mix)
Album · Breakbeat · 2024
“We are approaching midsummer here in the UK already—with still no sign of sun—but once again this month I’m switching back to my breaks-orientated sounds exclusively for Apple Music,” says John Digweed of the July 2024 volume of Compiled & Mixed. “Things start off with the atmospheric sounds of Iuly.B and Bicep before getting more into the heads-down zone with Martin HERRS’ ‘Angels of the Garden’.” For Digweed, one of the joys of delivering his monthly dispatches from the frontline of club culture is the opportunity it affords to shine a spotlight on some lesser-known names. “As ever, it blows my mind how many incredible electronic producers there are right now who deserve to be discovered,” he says. “It’s been so promising to see many of the newer names I’ve featured since we started these mixes almost three years ago begin to break through. Someone to check out this month is Braille—real name Praveen Sharma, featured here with his track ‘Ups’—who seems to shapeshift between genres so effortlessly. The mix ends absolutely beautifully with ‘Different Love’. No matter what the weather is doing where you are, I promise this will hit the spot. Until next month!”
