Since moving to Paris in the late 1980's he's taken the city by storm with gripping, dynamic DJ sets at some of best clubs in the metropolis. His very own Mona Events continues to attract a diverse range of audiences and has long celebrated the Parisian LGBTQ scene. We're thrilled to share the fantastic mix that he's brought to the podcast series today, which includes tracks from the likes of Space Ghost, Duke Hugh and Omar S.

Manila-based DJ and producer Pamcy has been making waves in the international music scene with her latest EP, ’Sauce Isle’, which is inspired by the sauces of different cuisines across Asia. She’s added some extremely vibrant flavour to the series this week with a house mix packed full of upbeat summery bangers. Featuring tracks from Lay-Far, Ryuta Muramatsu and Lovebirds, this is a mix that’ll leave you daydreaming about dancing into the early hours of the morning on warm Filipino coastlines. Prior to her incredible recent release through Jun Kamoda’s Jun Records we were overjoyed to hear Pamcy’s 2019 LP, 'BINIBINI' (the title is an old Filipino honorific term for women). In making the album, Pamcy drew inspiration from the everyday experiences, concepts, and objects that have shaped her identity and, on a larger scale, are cultural artefacts of femininity. Speaking in a recent interview with Mixmag, she explained: “Celebrating my identity as a Filipina is not something I deliberately try to do all the time, but I think all of my projects have that in common because everything that I make is rooted in my own reality and identity”. We’ll be waiting with eager anticipation for more sensational material from Pamcy in the future. @pamcy https://pamcy.bandcamp.com https://www.instagram.com/pamcy.mp3/

His latest EP, Dirty Bastard (Raw Poetry), showcases the artist’s versatility through a brilliant range of pounding breakbeat tunes. You can get a taste of DJ Physical’s latest material in this week’s mix alongside tracks from the likes of Asquith, Raar and Stef Mendesis. @dj-physical https://dj-physical.bandcamp.com/releases https://www.instagram.com/dj.physical/

Lithuanian, Vilnius-based Ramūnas aka midnattssoula has already done one mix for Clandestino mix series, but this was about 4 years ago and then he was working with another project. He's been running his own radio show/party series/record label Where Were We? for 3 years now and both Joe Morris and Nick Smith had a chance to be a part of this journey. WWW just dropped its third release and this time it's featuring up-and-coming Frenchman Blaise Balda.

Hailing from Wigan via Manchester now based in London, Wes Baggaley can be found spinning his beloved vinyl regularly at Dalston Superstore and for RinseFM where he has hosted a monthly show since 2017. For years championing underground house, techno and electro on Manchester's gay clubbing circuit to middling returns, it was not until 2016 following succesful slots at Block9 and NYC Downlow at that year's Glastonbury that Wes started to get serious attention, gaining fans such as Hannah Holland and Prosumer who invited him to play at Panorama Bar and for Boiler Room. A glut of European and festival bookings quickly followed and Wes embarked on a new residency at Dalston Superstore as 'Bottom Heavy' with Dan Beaumont. His mix for us is a frantic session of searing electro cuts and industrial heavy jams. https://soundcloud.com/wes-baggaley

The Prima Norsk Compilation is back with volume 5. Celebrating all things about Norwegian House scene, which is still very much on the front foot with help from 25 years of service from Beatservice Records. With no less than 14 tracks on this compilation, you'll be spoilt for choice. We've been listening to the strong 4x4 kick and shuffling percussion from Of Norway's 'Normal Eyes'. The party is certainly in the back room with this track. A warehouse bass line reminiscent of early Warp records takes the lead. With fluttering arpeggios eager to follow chasing up and down scales. In the break things go all wigged out, momentarily sidelined. Though you are back in the room when that driving bass kicks in with arpeggios in tow... eyes front, dancing till the early morn.

MAN2.0 AKA _____ was brought up on a steady diet of ______ which led him to listen to____. After joining a band who did _____ covers, he discovered _____This led him to_________.

For this milestone 150th episode it's a pleasure to present a mix from Shinichiro Yokota. During the late 1980's and early 1990's, Shinichiro and his cohort Soichi Terada produced a raft of rare US inspired house music gems through their Far East Recordings label, that despite catching the attention of a certain Larry Levan didn't reach the wider audience they deserved. In 2016 Rush Hour unearthed many of these recordings, showcasing them on their 'Sounds From The Far East' compilation followed by Shinichiro's 'Do It Again And Again' album earning them a new legion of fans. His mix for us contains many of these classics and some newer material, a real treat https://soundcloud.com/shinichiro-yokota
