Tracklist
Liner Notes
The BPM shifts to 129.2 for the first time — six beats per minute faster than the 123 that has defined every previous mix. It's a subtle change, but you feel it: more urgency, more forward lean, less patience. The DJ's internal clock has accelerated, and the selections match. Diplo & SIDEPIECE's "On My Mind" at 2:15, Mau P's "Drugs From Amsterdam" at 4:45 — both carrying the kind of relentless tech-house energy that defined the genre's 2022 peak.
The opening twenty minutes are a tour de force of the archive's collected vocabulary. Alex Dolby & Santos' "Raw Road" at 4:30. Basic Channel's "Phylyps Trak II/II" at 9:30. Paperclip People's "Throw" at 11:00. Demarkus Lewis' "Body Tonic" at 12:30. HOSH & 1979's "Midnight" at 12:00. Andy Compton's "That Acid Track" at 20:00 and again at 1:17:15. Mark Knight & Armand Van Helden's "The Music Began to Play" at 20:15. Six of the archive's most recurring tracks in the first twenty minutes, as though the DJ is taking inventory of everything they own before the landscape changes.
Gigi D'Agostino appears twice in quick succession — "Elisir" at 26:15 and "Bla Bla Bla" at 26:45. The Italian eurodance legend, a quiet presence since Mix 03, gets his tribute: two tracks from an artist who proved dance music could be simultaneously silly and sincere. "Bla Bla Bla" is one of the most recognisable melodies in European dance history, and its placement alongside deep techno is the archive at its most gloriously genre-fluid.
Fred again.. appears twice — "Kammy (like i do)" at 30:45 and "Billie (Loving Arms)" at 41:30. Between them, James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" at 34:15 — a track from 1965 placed between two from 2022. The sixty-year span collapses: funk and sample-based electronic music connected by rhythm, feel, and the basic human impulse to move. Gorillaz' "Feel Good Inc." at 17:00 in two versions extends the range further — cartoon-rap-rock reimagined for the dancefloor.
The second hour is where Mix 23 becomes genuinely extraordinary. Tinlicker's melodic house at 52:15. DJ Seinfeld's lo-fi romanticism at 59:15. Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" at 1:23:45 — another pop crossover handled with confidence. Kerri Chandler & Jerome Sydenham's "You're in My System" at 1:32:15 — deep house royalty, deployed as though it were just another tool in the box. Floorplan's "Ritual" at 1:34:45 — Robert Hood's more accessible alias, bringing Detroit's spiritual techno tradition to a mix that has already passed through Italo, UK garage, Australian house, and Berlin dub. And then: Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" in a Tim Enso remix at 1:40:45, followed by two more reworkings at 1:41:00 and 1:41:15. Three versions of Pink Floyd in ninety seconds. The boldest statement since Mix 16's rock-and-pop second half.
The energy arc builds in the second quarter, sustains through the third, then releases gently. Patrice Bäumel's "Serpent" at 1:46:00 returns for its third archive appearance — always in the deep second half, always dark, always driving. ZHU & Tame Impala's "My Life" in the BLOND:ISH Remix at 1:43:30 provides psychedelic warmth before the descent. BLOND:ISH's own "Life Is..." at 1:47:30 continues the atmospheric slide. The final tracks drift into deep house, electronic ambience, and — closing at 1:55:30 — a hardcore remix. The most unexpected genre to end a mix in the entire archive. A farewell that refuses to be predictable.
This is the consolidation era's magnum opus. Everything the DJ has collected, discovered, and refined across twenty-three chapters, compressed into a single session that ranges from Basic Channel to James Brown to Pink Floyd to Kerri Chandler. It's the last time the archive will feel this expansive. What comes next is the quiet turn — and it will change everything.
