Fur Coat - Live @ Mixmag Lab LA 2018
Hailing from Venezuela and now based in Barcelona, Sergio Muñoz and Israel Sunshine's Fur Coat project first exploded onto the scene in 2012 following the release of their second EP 'You and I' on Damian Lazarus' seminal Crosstown Rebels imprint. Fur Coat's debut album 'Mind Over Matter' quickly followed suit the same year. The LP's cunning blend of downtempo techno established the duo as one of the most valued underground acts in the dance music scene. Gradually drifting towards a darker and more brooding style of techno over time, their leftfield and free-flowing sound consistently gains support from the likes of Pete Tong, Sasha, Stephan Bodzin, Tale of Us, Nicole Moudaber and more. This week at The Lab LA, Fur Coat will showcase their devious and banging concoction of techno which continues to pack out dancefloors around the globe on a regular basis. Here is the final 42 mins of the Mixmag Lab LA set from last week! We originally weren’t going to post this video, as due to a technical issue with the stream, the beginning of the set was lost, but after a number of requests from fans we thought we would share this with you!

Lobster Theremin boss Asquith with a spot on selection of high calibre house and warehouse techno. Recommended. Launching in late-2013 with Palms Trax’s irresistible ‘Equation’ EP, Lobster fired out the blocks and hasn’t looked back. Asquith’s curation has been the driving force of the label, which has soared in popularity, carving out a reputation as a go-to imprint for rugged house, acid and techno. A whole host of sublabels have been spawned, including Distant Hawaii and Mörk, with the stream of top drawer music Asquith unearths seemingly endless. After placing among our breakout DJs of 2016, next week he’s stepping out with his debut productions with ‘The Conditioning Track’ arriving on a self-released white label. More material due via Unknown To The Unknown and other self-releases are also due.

Ross From Friends - Live @ Mixmag Lab LDN 2018
This Friday on the release day of his debut album ‘Family Portrait’ we have Ross From Friends rolling through to spin a DJ set. The artist, real name Felix Clary Weatherall, made a considerable impact when his track ‘Talk To Me You’ll Understand’ surfaced online in 2015. It’s now amassed over 4 million YouTube hits, and he’s navigated the whirlwind of hype to bring his brand of emotionally resonant house to labels such as Magicwire, Lobster Theremin and Brainfeeder, through which his first full-length is coming. Titled ‘Family Portrait’, the record takes inspiration from the diet of dance music he was raised on by his parents, who met while travelling Europe as with a soundsystem in 1990. Footage of the trip is used in the recent video for LP cut ‘Pale Blue Dot’.
