PHUK's 3rd Birthday Mix - Nick Rodger
For my PHUK birthday mix, I wanted to park the house music for a moment and showcase my love of all things electronic. This set is a collection of records I enjoy at home. I knew I wanted to feature "Circulation - Magenta' as this is probably my all-time fav 'dance record that isn't a dance record'. It popped up again in a recent social media post which got a lot of love from so many people, reminding me that we're genuinely all connected through music and records we have a mutual adulation for. A shared experience. So 'Magenta' plays pretty much all the way through. Arguably the finest 9mins Circulation has ever pressed to 12".
For the rest of the mix, I dug into my LPs and tried to focus on music I enjoy but rarely get an opportunity to share. Kinda what I'd play for close friends on a lazy Sunday afternoon - a wandering soundscape of moods, rhythms and ambience - my nod to the early 'DJ Kicks', 'Back to Mine' and 'Late Night Tales' series much loved by so many.
So what is my set for PHUK birthday celebrations? My love letter to the beauty, subtlety and texture achieved through mixing sounds.
Indulgence?....Maybe.
But will you come back to it again and again?
I do hope so.
Enjoy. Nick
