3 great DJ mixes to cheer us all up

3 great DJ mixes to cheer us all up

If your news feed has been covering you in muck lately, here's a cocktail of three great DJ mixes that will unclench your teeth, unscrew your face and just generally make life at least 10% better than it was before you hit play.

Kicking off with Belgium's own San Soda, whose XLR8R podcast mix is so irresistibly positive it'll linger in your veins and put a pep in your step for the rest of the day: le son du soleil!

Peggy Gou takes a languid break from her well-honed club sets to delight us with a more personal mix featuring the likes of Patrick Cowley, Haroumi Hosono, Larry Heard, Mos Def and Erykah Badu. (Originally mixed for Truants.)

Coming in at just under an hour Peggy works her way through tracks by Erykah Badu, hip-hop classics by Black Star, dub from Rhythm and Sound and low BPM groovers from the likes of Wolf Müller and Larry Heard: "I started making this mix a year ago and have been adding tracks and making changes to it since. Sometimes I really enjoy making mixes with tracks that I usually don't play in club but with the nice home listening stuff I like to listen to when I need break from dance music. It features a lot of my favourite artists, legends like Patrick Cowley, Haroumi Hosono, Larry Heard, Mos Def and Erykah Badu, who are all big inspirations of mine. The way it has been put together means the tracks are sequenced in a way that is slightly different than how I would put them in a DJ set, and shows a little bit more of my personal music taste than the club-style mixes people have heard from me before. I hope you enjoy it!"

And finally, the Ambush SS18 mix for No Vacancy Inn drapes everything in a light sheen of effortless cool. 

From the bold to the bleak: a monochromatic mix for Breakfast Clubbers & Night Ccrawlers... SCHOOL'S OUT FOREVER...

Here's where you can get the shirt (it also just dropped again at Dover Street Market if you're close).
