Sepalcure
"One of the freshest talents of the US electronic scene – Sepalcure – further some already impressive credentials this week, with a mix of undiscovered garage and dubbed-out two-step gems, giving a wide berth to the glossy, club-filler names of an often populist scene, and focusing once again on the music. "
Untold
"For the latest instalment of the Clash DJ podcast, we’re very happy indeed to welcome Untold through the door. Aka Jack Dunning, leftfield dark dub experimentalist Untold has been twisting frequencies and confounding rhythmical expectations for a good few years now, with awe-inspiring results. "
Deepchord
"Something very special this week, as renowned dub-techno producer Rod Modell – Deepchord – supplies a uniquely atmospheric DJ mix. "
Gesaffelstein
"One of our top picks to watch in 2011 provides this week’s podcast – enigmatic French producer Gesaffelstein, demonstrating why we flagged him as a face to remember. "
Proxy
"If any of you woke this morning with an inexplicable feeling of joy and a sense that today was an incredibly special day, give yourself a pat on the back. Yes, friends, today marks the 100th Clashmusic.com DJ podcast mix – a glorious day for us all – and to celebrate in style, we’ve got a monster of a mix. What better way to turn 100 and keep things fresh than with the very artist we picked at the beginning of the year as our number one producer to watch during 2011: Proxy. "
Jon Convex
"Damon Kirkham, one half of Instra:mental, lays down a meaty, metallic groove-beast of a mix for the Clash DJ podcast, under his new solo alias, Jon Convex. "
Red Snapper
"To kick off 2011, we give you a DJ mix from Rich Thair of Red Snapper, someone who knows both classic electronica and the new wave of underground sounds intimately. Since their formation in the heady days of 1993, Red Snapper have been fusing this passion for electronica with a love for dirty funk, nu-jazz, dub and live breaks, creating a unique sound that has more than stood the test of time. We caught up with Rich for a chat about his DJ mix."
Ulrich Schnauss
"Delve deep into all manner of d’n’b and then let the ethereal wash run over you this week, with a mix from electronica veteran Ulrich Schnauss."
The 2 Bears
"The name says it all. This week, Joe Goddard (Hot Chip member and solo producer) and Raf Rundell (DJ, club promoter and part of the renowned Greco-Roman soundsystem) – known collectively as The 2 Bears – take us on an irresistible ‘Balearic Bashment’ journey, along the way exploring the mass of influences that have helped shape the duo’s bounced-up club- house sound."
Robag Wruhme
"German tech-house stalwart Robag Wruhme steps up to the Clash DJ pod platform, and in the spirit of mixing things up and defying expectations, the respected producer has chosen to delve into his early musical upbringing. "
