MR PUZL's Summer Mix - Vol. 2

3rd and Final Installment of MR PUZL's Summer Mix Series Free Download: https://www.toneden.io/lamp/post/mr-puzl-s-summer-mix-vol-3 "This 3 volume mix series has been quite a journey for me. I pushed myself to explore my collection more thoroughly that I've done before. These mixes reflect a few different... let's call them personalities, that make up part of who I am as an artist and my enthusiasm and love for electronic music. The first 2 volumes represent the summer days and nights that I fell in love with while living in LA. Volume 3 is all about those moments in between." Much <3 MR PUZL P.S. This mix goes out to the love of my life; who has always supported my passion to express my creativity in the many forms it has manifested.

Today we have a special mix from our good friend Alliey XO. We’ve known Alliey since she first got on to the LA scene a little over a year ago and it’s been a pleasure to watch her grow and collaborate with her along the way. Since moving to LA Alliey has made a name for herself playing at LA hotspots like Avalon, and Catch One, as well as recently joining Dances With White Girls for his new party series Vacay Mode. As a member of FAM Presents Alliey has been an integral part in bringing our collaborative party Side2Side to fruition. Last weekend we were lucky enough to have her join us for our latest installment of Tessellate at Pattern Bar in DTLA. Today we’re excited to bring you her mix from that night for this new edition of our guest mix series!

For this week's mix, we have something special - a live set (with video! Link coming soon) from our good friend Julian Montenegro. Julian is a Costa Rican prodigy who has been rocking shows and releasing quality tunes for years already, through outlets like House Of Hustle, House of Bangerz, and Drop Low. We linked up with him on one of his numerous visits to Los Angeles, when he came to town to attend Desert Hearts and collaborate with a variety of producers (including LAMP's own Keyspan). Julian lives and works in Costa Rica, where he co-runs and teaches at production / DJ school Beatmatch Academy (http://www.beatmatchcr.com/), and contributes to Beats Radio Online (https://beatsradioonline.com/). Just last weekend, he performed an exceptional set at Costa Rica's Chepe Joven festival, which hosted 25,000 attendees. For his debut LAMP mix, Julian graced us with a really exceptional live set, weaving together a tapestry of diverse sounds. Take a listen on SoundCloud, or watch the set live via YouTube. Julian was also kind enough to sit down virtually with Keyspan from our team for an interview follow the link to check it out. http://losangelesmusicproject.com/lamp-weekly-mix-292-feat-julian-montenegro/ Keep your eyes and ears peeled for more releases from Julian later this year.

We are really excited to present a rising talent for you from the UK, Maxinne. Starting her career as a DJ she is highly sought after in her home country in addition to Europe's unofficial playground for all things house and techno, Ibiza. She has an insane work ethic and between her own label Red Alert, being an advocate for equality in the industry and all of her own production she is making the world well aware of her talents. Having caught the ear of some pretty big labels in the industry including Knee Deep In Sound and with 2 EP's on the schedule for Mark Knight's Toolroom she is set to rise quickly through the ranks of the house music industry. I am absolutely loving this mix she put together for us so sit back and give your ears some pleasure. We will have more from Maxinne over on the website later this week so make sure to check back tomorrow for our weekly interview with Maxinne and get to know more about her. www.losangelesmusicproject.com Follow: https://soundcloud.com/djmaxinne https://www.facebook.com/djmaxinne Instagram: @djmaxinne Twitter: @djmaxinne

Alex Wilcox is all over the place. He was born in Dallas, moved to Austin, then to LA, spent time in Berlin, and now he’s based in Detroit. He’s played in funk-rock bands, done vocal mixing for a member of @bangtan?, had techno featured in @EARMILK, worked at famous rap/pop Chalice Studios in Hollywood, made an indie-pop EP under the alias Hans Isn’t Driving that signed with 411 Music Group, and cries when he keeps getting the wrong mail sent to him. With his move to Detroit, Alex has focused his vision on pursuing the DJ route powered by his eclectic and diverse range of electronic productions. He’s been spotted spinning at TV Lounge, El Club, The Orange Room, and at other Detroit spots. He’s excited to have completed production on his first album, and is also cooking up exciting collaborations with Detroit locals - @DJHolographic, @tylerdetroit, and others. Expect an onslaught of original music over the next year as this serial producer emerges. Distilled in this mix is melodic and groove-based techno & house with pop-sensibility - one of Alex’s favorite styles to dance to. He'll be playing at an after hours in Detroit at the end of this month (July), DM him on instagram to find the address! Follow: https://soundcloud.com/alexwilcoxx https://www.instagram.com/alexwilcoxx/ It just clicked in my head today as I am putting this weeks mix together for you guys that we are rapidly approaching mix #300. I am constantly humbled by that fact that we get to bring this little series to you each week with the help of all of the other LAMP heads. 6 years ago we started this little project not expecting it to reach across the globe and it is going as strong today as it ever has. Stay tuned as we have some cool new guests coming up over the next few weeks on our way to #300. Thank you.

Let me tell you how pumped we are to have our man Kevin Knapp back with us again. This time for an exclusive mix for our weekly series. I can't remember the year but I think it was 2012 or something when I first hear this beautiful mans voice on a record for the first time. It was a track by Audiojack. From then on I kept coming across more and more tracks sampling his voice, which is one of the finest in the land in my opinion, in addition to building his own incredible library of productions. His passion for music shines through in the music he creates and watching him DJ is a pure treat. He has been on a massive run as of late and we couldn't be happier for him. If you have not yet experienced him live and in person and you are in the US right now he is back from Berlin where he is residing (and who can blame him) and you can catch him here in LA the 26th of July @ RESIDENT before he heads back. Make sure to check over on the LAMP website tomorrow for a more in depth conversation with MR Knapp. For now enjoy these lovely beats.

2nd Installment of MR PUZL's Summer Mix Series Free DL: https://www.toneden.io/lamp/post/mr-puzl-s-summer-mix-vol-2 "The days are getting longer and the nights more humid here in Boston. When I recorded this I looked back to the times on the Santa Monica pier when I'd get to play gigs during the sunset slot. It's always a special moment to have the sun hangout for just a bit longer to see what the night has in store for those on the dance floor." Stay cool out there 😎 Much <3 MR PUZL P.S. This mix goes out to the amazing woman who brought me into this world #discomom SC: @mrpuzl IG: www.instagram.com/mrpuzl/

This week we throw it back over to our founder and curator PZB as he prepares to head back out to Michigan for Rothbury's annual Electric Forest festival. Taking a detour from the techno laden grooves that we may have come to expect PZB has put together a solid set that explores his deep love for all things house and the uplifting spirit that it embodies. We hope that this mix carries you through the week and if you happen to find yourself in Michigan this weekend check out our boy PZB in the Forest.

1st Installment of MR PUZL's Summer Mix Series "Since moving back to the east coast, the seasons have had a larger impact on the music that I'm listening to and making. The weather in Boston finally broke into summer a few weeks back and inspired me to record a mix... and then another. I figured while I'm in the moment why not go for 3? So to celebrate the summer I'll be releasing 1 mix each month." This one is all about the warmth ;) Much <3 MR PUZL SC: @mrpuzl IG: https://www.instagram.com/mrpuzl/
