Chris Stussy
Mixmag Lab London
Ah, the East London minimal heads have arrived, nodding sagely while clutching their overpriced flat whites and judging everyone's trainer choices. It is the classic Mixmag office party gone rogue, where industry insiders try desperately to look nonchalant while secretly praying the camera catches their good side. The Lab London is absolutely heaving, bathed in that familiar neon glow and sticky Friday afternoon energy.
On the technical front, this Chris Stussy live set cruises at a slick 130.8 BPM average, leaning heavily on the 12A key to keep the harmonic progression effortlessly groovy. The mixing is proper tight, rolling through those Rominimal and Techno-adjacent basslines with zero friction. Digging into the Chris Stussy Mixmag Lab London tracklist, the crate selection is top-tier.
Throwing in 'Short, Short Man' by Gillette & 20 Fingers is an absolute laugh, while 'Lazer Beams' by Green Velvet & Harvard guarantees pure dancefloor chaos. The sonic journey kicks off with an elusive 'Unknown' opening track, absolutely goes off during SNK's 'Feel It (Kerri Kaos 6:23 Chandler Piano Remix)', and finally winds down with the legendary closing track 'Greece 2000' by Three Drives On a Vinyl. Having a laugh, but we love it.
