Our 15th mix in the Hastings Homegrown mix series comes from japhy.co.uk.

Integral to the Hastings music scene, Japhy is one of the heads behind Catchmydrift Club and co-curated RED with Marley Cole and the greatly missed Jim Bull. Along side his DJing and events promotions, Japhy runs japhy.co.uk an online record store specialising in Techno, House and Breakbeat both new and old.

https://www.hastingshomegrown.co.uk/hhmix-015-japhy/

His guest mix is best described by the man himself:

Recorded sometime into the 2000’s on one of many online platforms at the time from our collaborative Hastings based studio, this never before shared archival mix skips between early 90’s UK techno and acid, raw Chicago trax, modern (for that time) tough hypnotic and percussive dancefloor bangers

You can find Japhy Djing at CatchMyDrift? this Saturday at The Pig, along some of the finest DJs in the local scene: Paddy Howe, BUNCH, Alisa, Tom Kader, Junglis Monk, Tom Tom, Shrunken Shadows, Dan Short, Mobriller and Marley Cole.
