Resident 'In The Mix' Stevie Reid - 24022021

Cool, calm and confident. That's Stevie Reid. Cool, Crisp and calculated, that's Stevie Reid the DJ. There's no rush here to head off at a crazy pace, oh no. This is about setting your stall out and letting tracks breathe and work together effortlessly. Funkform's quirky vocal sets the tone of the first half of the mix perfectly. As warm as the sounds are, there is a depth and melancholy vibe just below the surface giving you the sense something is brooding. Kastis Torrau's 'Clock' exemplifies that theme with a great Chicago / US garage vocal echoing out of the spaced-out synths and gentle percussion. GMJ & Matter lead us gently on with their take on Andre Sobata's 'Unmute' a dreamy low key sunset accompanying type of track that tees up 'Breathe Deep' on Lost&Found to continue the floating segway. If people are familiar with Stevie's mix then they'll know there's never a dirty bassline far away to turn the mix in another direction. 'Multitude' is that track and we watch the clock go to ten to midnight as the beat deepens into slow melodic techno. Right on cue, midnight strikes with 'Lost On Origin', a bouncy yet solid groove from GMJ & Matter with Imran Khan doing the honours on the remix for Balkan Connection. The pace picks up with Kostya Outta & Sistersweet 'Bali River' which shimmers and moves forward with a purpose. The pistons are pumping now as D-Nox and Beckers swoop in with the 303's flexing their muscles whilst the strobe lights flash through the smoke-filled dancefloor. As the sirens shriek and the tension builds there's a definite air of 90's northern exposure. Tight mixing and energy control fuses into 'Hot Foot' a confident stomp that stops and starts, teasing and testing. Just as the lids about to blow Stevie pulls the reigns and delivers Navar's sonic 'High Noon' to lift the spirits and connect with your inner peace. Time to glide home, Michael A's wonderful 'Silent Moments' gets an Imran Khan Remix which builds and grows methodically and you are in 3 am territory floating. 'Wanderlust' shimmers and sparkles with swirling atmospherics and clean beats to help us alight onto Eli & Fur's pixie anthem with added electronica mystic courtesy of Rodriguez Jr's Remix. As the last notes fade, you can't help rubbing your eyes as if you've just had a wonderful dream. Stevie Reid is no stranger to this level of mixing and track selection. He never fails. And in times like these, we need things we can rely on and a Stevie Reid Resident mix always delivers that warm blanket or reassurance. Danny Jarvis
