M54: Posthuman

Cousins Joshua Doherty and Richard Bevan have been pushing tough underground electronic sounds since 2000. Making their name in part to a series of parties in an abandoned London Underground train station in the first half of the noughties, they founded Seed Records and more recently Balkan Vinyl and have released a steady stream of quality bangers, with a penchant for acid and old rave sounds. Doherty has been running 303-focused parties under the I Love Acid banner since 2007, and in recent years launched an accompanying label, where the likes of Luke Vibert, Snuff Crew, Cardopusher, Perseus Traxx and Affie Yusuf have all released tracks on a limited number of 303 vinyl copies. Their mix for us encompasses unreleased goodies, productions for the likes of Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, Hardfloor Records and Craigie Knowes, and plenty of varied licks.

*How would you describe your sound?*

Sci-fi acid house and hectic electro rave.

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?*

Everything from classic house of Chicago and techno of Detroit in the ‘80s, through to European rave and techno in the ‘90s, and the explosion of genres and ideas since then all over the world.

After 20+ years doing this, still having moments when you hear something new and instantly think "Wow, I want to write something with that vibe"

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*

It features a lot of our dancefloor focused, high energy tracks from the last couple of years, plus some unreleased and upcoming gear (although the opening track is from a decade ago)

This mix is along the vibes of the kind of set we are playing in clubs right now.
