100% Ricochet selection … this month is purely music from the label (and a few related items of interest) … Ricochet Records back catalogue exploration … Geoff Lifecycle picks out choice tracks from Ricochet's 40 releases since 2007, alongside a few dubplates, unreleased bits and related remixes from the label's heyday. Having recently put together a label-only set for the Loose Lips mix series, I felt like taking a deeper dlve into some of the higher energy / DJ-mix-focused cuts from our legacy … was more fun than I expected. I was reluctant to repeat many of the same cuts I spun in last label retrospective for the podcast, which I later realised was a set from MARCH 2015 … crikey, time flies … given nearly a decade has passed since that session I could probably have worried less about any repetition, but I do strive to keep the show fresh and not bore our hardcore regulars with the same tunes month after month. Much love.

Deep grooves and dancefloor tech influences in Ricochet Records' August flow, tickling leftfield house and nightmare techno into the mix over Geoff Lifecycle's psychedelic broken electro backbone
This mix is a ‘what mix would my mrs enjoy‘ – and this is it. Lots of uplifting rolling tracks to take you elsewhere… Really enjoyed this one, as had lost my mojo a little recently, hence the gap in shows. This one lit the fire again – sometimes you can over think things … […] The post The Deepness with Llupa 091 appeared first on Llupa.
