Sally C
Mixmag Lab | All Together Now
We've all been there: squinting at a phone screen as Sally C drops another cheeky edit at All Together Now, wondering if we'll ever ID that track before the bass drops again. This Mixmag Lab set is a testament to the pure, uncomplicated joy of a DJ who understands that house music, at its best, is meant to make you grin like an idiot. The festival field is a sea of moving bodies, sweat and glitter under the open sky, as the system pumps out four-to-the-floor salvation. Technically, this is a masterclass in peak-time programming, averaging a brisk 133.1 BPM and firmly rooted in the 12A Camelot wheelhouse.
Sally C builds energy through clever harmonic shifts into 3B and 7A, using quick, punchy transitions to weave between deep, percussive foundations and soaring, vocal-led crescendos. The low-end is all funky bass pressure, the mids are a riot of chopped rhythms and classic stabs, and the highs provide just enough sparkle to keep everything levitating. It's a set engineered for maximum physical response, with every mix serving the dancefloor's primal need to move. As for the digs, where to even start? The 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' edit is camp, chaotic brilliance, while Andre Zimmer's 'Round Two' offers a sleeker, driving tech-house backbone.
Mr. G's soul-drenched 'Brotherly Love Remix' of Pirahna Head is a deep, emotional pivot, and dropping Gigi D'Agostino's 'Bla Bla Bla' is a brazen, perfect nostalgia play. Paperkraft's 'Play Somethin' Nasty' is the raw, jacking tool that defines the set's core ethos. She opens with the atmospheric dub of 'Dub City,' builds to a delirious peak with the anthemic madness of 'Short, Short Man,' and leaves us buzzing as that final, ridiculous hook fades into the Irish night.
