Best New Mixes Streaming Right Now

If you're not a fan of the heat, we've got some bad news for you: there is a lot of it in our latest round-up of the best new mixes streaming right now.

With fire from the Fade To Mind crew, a very warm De La Soul dedication, bubbling beats from Cookin' Soul and a selection of tunes from Yuksek that'd set any given dancefloor ablaze, we advise you stick on a pair of sunnies, slap on some sunblock, and enjoy these mixes as much as we are.

True to form, Cookin' Soul has served up a smoking selection of tracks for summertime listening. Alongside the mix, the Spanish duo heralded the arrival of more sunshine:

"Summer 2016 is here and it's only right for us to release a new edition of our classic mix series dedicated to the hottest season of the year! A curated selection of slow soulful jams, warm funk, hot disco and sizzling Spanish and Brazilians vibes...The perfect mix to enjoy the sunshine on a terrace, beach or pool with a refreshing cocktail in hand."

Another of the big names in bloghaus bringing it back on a beauty of a mix is Yuksek. Unlike A-Trak's niche example from November last year however, this mix from Yuksek could bring as much life to a boat party as it could a barmitzvah.

"I've put together some songs I love and played a lot this last year, some songs that influenced me, and some of mine. Old, new, only sweet club songs about DANCE. Ballroom dance, belly dance, rain dance, fire dance or whatever. Have a peaceful summer."

No less relevant since the original release in 1996, De La Soul's classic Stakes Is High LP is the focus for this new mix from DJ and superfan Chris Read.

Cooked up for the people at Wax Poetics, Chris evidently took a lot of time on this one, and as you'd expect, tracks from the LP, alternate versions, and original sample material all feature.

The Fade To Mind label, which was originally launched by Kingdom in L.A., has been going strong for five years. Kingdom himself kept the pace going in a raucous session for Rinse FM, flanked by Nguzunguzu, Total Freedom, and Prince Will.

The b2b2b2b is heaving full of the label's signature, bass-heavy/club ready sounds, and serves as a pretty good benchmark for the label's history and as an indicator of where they will go in the future.

This mix from New Jackson for All City Records out in Dublin is a slow burner to say the least, and does well to lull the listener into a warped state of mind over the space of around three hours.

"Everything from 80's boogie to hip-hop beats via house, indie, krautrock and everything in-between like a good old fashioned radio show."

Keep an eye out for New Jackson's as-yet-titled release on All City early next year!

By now, many of you are already familiar with Onra & Lexis' tight Throw'Em Up mixes, but for those who aren't, they've introduced the latest with a little bit of context.

"When we put out the first volume of our Throw 'Em Up mixes over 3 years ago we never thought the era and sound we wanted to cover would go that deep. We thought our knowledge was pretty advanced but have come to realize that there are so many hidden gems. It's become a part-time obsession to collect vinyl-only rare remixes, CD-only versions and so on.

If you are new to the mixes, the era we cover here is almost exclusively 1993-1996. A very brief period of a couple years in which Hip-Hop and R&B producers to artists started collaborating and influencing each other. That era we affectionately called "Throw Em Up" (inspired by how people were dancing in all videos) was musically very different than its predecessor (New Jack Swing) and what followed after with the more futuristic, synthesized production style of Timbaland, Darkchild, The Neptunes and others who followed.

We'll always love the classics of the era but with each edition of these mixes we love bringing you deeper forgotten selections discovered from rare CD's and overlooked vinyl bins all over the world."

Dan Foat, Frank Tope, and Mr Assister recorded this mix last year to mark the end of the 0800 Dinosaur nights. Worry not, however, as they'll be embarking on new nights together as NASA at The Yard, London. Albeit an old recording, Mr Assister astutely pointed out on his Soundcloud, the mix is "..almost 6 hours of pure bangers. That's just about enough to soundtrack the first two Lord of the Rings films," and with that in mind we kinda couldn't resist including it.

For anyone who got out on the right side of bed, stick this mix by Moods on to make your day shine that little bit brighter. Selects from the Dutch DJ include personal favourites from Kerri Chandler, Jackson 5, Mr Scruff and more. Super chill.

"What to put on at the afterparty?" is a question which rarely gets answered correctly, so Doorly did his best to adress the issue in his inaugural mix for the hard-hitting music news outlet Wunderground.

"Anyone who knows me, knows how I love an afterparty! Especially one of those ones back at my place where everyone involved tries to find their weirdest, trippiest music and funniest YouTube clips in contribution to the vibes at the party. This mix has been a labor of love for the best part of the last year for me and something I've been really excited to share with the world. Welcome to my Roadshow of Wrong! A new series of mixtapes and parties for the late night thinkers out there! I have taken inspiration from Chris Morris's old Warp Records podcasts, and things like Adult Swim's "Off The Air" series – a mix of great music and comedy. I wanted to design something that the listener can sit down with people they love, put their feet up, get in the zone, form a cuddle puddle if at all possible, and listen to these mixes like watching a good movie. They will be trippy, immersive and a journey for the senses. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I did making it."

If anyone knows how to seamlessly blend hip-hop and house it's the man known as Cuthead, as per his latest mix for the folks at Flux.

The German promoter, producer and DJ gets down over for a second shy of an hour, serving up Dilla, DOOM, and Nottz alongside various denominations of house.
