    Midnight Mug #09 with Cosmo Sofi

    October brings a new episode of Midnight Mug, and this month I’m very happy to welcome @CosmoSofi Uruguayan-born and London-based, Sofi is a DJ and selector whose musical identity connects her Latin roots with the UK underground. Her selections move freely through jazz, soul, Latin and Brazilian music, dub, house and beyond, always guided by curiosity and unexpected connections across cultures and generations. As always, I take care of the first hour before handing things over to our guest. For the second hour, Sofi put together a selection especially for Midnight Mug, exploring a warmer and more intimate side of her record collection. In her own words: “A late-night journey through the more sensual, soulful corners of my musical taste. I recorded this mix with a midnight mood in mind, selecting records I don’t often get to play out but love for their warmth, intimacy and beautiful sense of groove. Music for the hours when things slow down and the night really begins.” Midnight Mug #09 First hour: Zaffa Guest Session: Cosmo Sofi

    Midnight Mug #07 with Ays

    MIDNIGHT MUG — EPISODE 07 ☕️✨ Midnight Mug is a two-hour musical journey: the first hour selected by me, followed by a guest whose musical world deserves to be explored beyond the usual club setting. For Episode 07, I'm especially happy to welcome the Rotterdam-based DJ and selector @aysdj I've been connected with Ays for several years, despite never having met in person. Our shared passion for discovering and sharing music immediately became a meeting point, and her genuine taste, curiosity and love for music can be felt throughout this entire selection. A resident at Operator Radio, Ays is also the co-founder of Love Transmission, the Rotterdam party welcoming respected guests from across the international scene. For Midnight Mug, she intentionally moved away from the idea of a conventional DJ mix and created a selection designed to be listened to and enjoyed from beginning to end. Her hour moves beautifully through jazz, gospel, boogie, fresh releases and plenty of feel-good soul. I open the episode with the first hour, before handing things over to Ays for a deeply personal and carefully crafted musical journey. Pour yourself something and enjoy the ride ☕️✨

    Midnight Mug #06 with Mark Grusane

    This month, after my opening hour, I'm honoured to welcome one of Chicago's most respected selectors: @Mark-Grusane A true digger, DJ, producer and curator, Mark has spent decades shaping dancefloors with an extraordinary knowledge of disco, house, jazz-funk, soul and countless overlooked records. His productions and re-edits are celebrated for their musical sensitivity, while his selections continue to inspire DJs and collectors around the world. Beyond his incredible musical background, getting to know Mark through this project has been a genuine pleasure. Kind, humble and generous from our very first conversation, he immediately embraced the intimate spirit behind Midnight Mug. This is exactly what the series is about. Not another club mix, but an invitation to explore the music that lives beyond the dancefloor—the records that shaped an artist, influenced their journey and reveal something more personal than a peak-time set ever could. A huge thank you to Mark for sharing this beautiful selection and for being part of Midnight Mug. Enjoy the journey ☕🌙✨

    Midnight Mug #05 with Mehdi El-Aquil (Condesa Electronics)

    Midnight Mug returns with Episode 05. This month's episode opens with a tribute to the late Dexter Wansel, whose music has inspired generations of listeners, DJs and collectors around the world. A small gesture of gratitude to a true musical visionary whose legacy will continue to live on through his timeless work. The first hour features a selection of mine, followed by a guest mix from Australia's @mehdi-elaquil I first got to know Mehdi a few years ago when I began exploring the world of rotary mixers. As the founder of @condesaelectronics and its renowned discrete Class-A rotary mixers, he was one of the first people I reached out to. From our very first conversation, I found him to be kind, generous with his knowledge and deeply passionate about music. Born in Kent, on the outskirts of London, to Mauritian and Moroccan heritage, Mehdi was raised on the sounds of both Morocco and Mauritius. Influenced by Jazz-Funk, Hip-Hop, Electro Boogie, Afrobeat, Soul and House music, he has been honing his craft since the early 1980s. His musical journey has taken him from Ibiza to London's vibrant club scene before eventually relocating to Australia in 2004. Enjoy the journey.
