The eloquent gentlemen behind the lovely electronic music blog Box Musique have always been kind to us, posting most of our releases and mixes as of late, always with great reviews. This friendship has now deepened even further as we were asked to kick off their new series of original mixes with a fresh set from the studio of Socket Science.

The result is just out there for you to grab. It’s a dynamic mix of minimal and tech house 12″s from 2011, starting of slowly and beautifully with our very own Aloo and then via some fragile glitchy soundscapes from Traum Schallplatten and the likes it gradually ups the tempo. The mesmerizing Nature is The Law by Ryan Davis & Transistor takes it all to another level which is then followed up by some more bass driven action that’ll keep any dance floor ecstatic, before Simian Mobile Disco wraps it up by showing a completely new dark and berghainesque side that’ll leave you stunned.

You really want to hear this, go get it.

Folks,

if you’re anywhere near Copenhagen next weekend do not hesitate to visit the Distortion festival! The four day event takes place all over town, or actually one part of town is in focus each night, and on the downtown opening party Wednesday June 1st Astor Bell will be represented at Café Blasen where Don Simon AKA Socket Science will play an intense dj set. Also at the Blasen event, but earlier on, you can see the Danish sensation Kasper Bjørke as well as the Icelandic upcomers Kúra play live. Don’t miss.
