There’s a certain type of mix that doesn’t shout. It just locks in and keeps things moving. This one lands exactly there, with HASKELL stepping up with a fresh Data Transmission session as he opens 2026 on Strangelove. No gimmicks, no filler, just club music played by someone who understands pacing, pressure, and when to let a groove breathe. HASKELL’s rise has been steady rather than noisy. Releases across Toolroom Records, Nervous Records, Myth Of NYX, IN/Rotation and Strangelove Records have built a catalogue that works where it counts. In the booth. On proper systems. The records sit between house and stripped-back club cuts, rolling rather than racing, focused on movement and control. That mindset runs through this mix. His new Strangelove cut Ice sets the tone early, cold drums, tight low-end, no wasted energy. From there it’s a selector’s run. Lipstick brings swing and weight, DOUBLE C does what PAWSA does best, pressure without shouting. Cuts like El House and Power Of Love keep things ticking with that late-night bounce, the kind that works just as well in a low ceiling basement as it does on a warm rooftop. There’s a strong run of HASKELL originals woven through the set too. Shake That, unreleased IDs, and the collaboration energy hinted at with the I Need You Baby cut all reinforce a clear point of view. This is club music made by someone who plays clubs regularly, not theory, not trends. A lot of that discipline comes from outside music. Before records and road life, HASKELL competed internationally in rugby, and you can hear that mentality here. Repetition, timing, restraint. Knowing when to push and when to hold. It’s the same logic that made Go Deep with Mark Knight and Gene Farris such a strong Toolroom moment last year, functional, confident, built to last past first plays. This mix feels like a proper marker for the year ahead. No rush, no rebrand, just someone doubling down on what works and delivering it clean. Get locked in and listen via SoundCloud, Mixcloud or Apple Podcasts. This one’s built for long blends and late finishes. ⚡️Like the Mix?
