SPND20 Mixtape by Mr. G
Our new SPND20 Mixtape comes from none other than the mighty @official-mr-g. 📼
If you know, you know: Mr. G is one of dance music’s true originals. From the early days in the legendary KCC crew and his influential work as half of The Advent, to decades of solo output under his own name, Colin McBean has never strayed from his roots. With releases on Rekids, Moods ‘n’ Grooves, Defected, and his own long-running Phoenix G imprint, his raw, bass-heavy electronic-tech-funk sound has moved floors and minds all over the world.
Now, for one of his rare mixtape appearances, we’re honored to share this special vinyl-only piece from his archive.
Recorded on two Technics 1210's and a Rane MP2015 mixer and mixed down to CD with added weight, the mix had been sleeping for years until Mr. G pressed play and surprised even himself. It’s meditative, deep, and packed with the personality you only get when the machines are running hot. It captures the raw energy, honesty, and unmistakable feel that only Mr. G can deliver: just pure groove, and even a cheeky cable cut halfway through that adds to the charm.
It’s not often he shares this side, so we’re grateful he let us dig it out. For us, it’s a perfect snapshot of where he comes from and what he still brings to the table today. A true original.
So you better put on those headphones and dive deep into this one!🔊

SPND20 Mixtape by Gary Beck
Glasgow’s @garybeck steps up for the latest SPND20 Mixtape!📼
A true legend of the scene, Gary has been influencing techno with his signature sound since his emergence in 2007. With a career shaped by dedication to his craft, he’s earned deep respect from peers and dancers alike - and has stayed true to his roots every step of the way. Known for his unmistakable sound and a catalog that includes releases on Soma, Mutual Rytm and his own label BEK Audio, his music carries weight, but always with a focus on groove and movement.
For this mix, Gary invites us into his creative world with a selection made up almost entirely of unreleased personal material (some of it might be landing sooner than you think - so keep those ears open!)👂. A raw, rolling journey that reflects how he approaches DJing: direct, honest, and flowing from start to finish. Recorded simply on an A&H Xone 92 and three CDJ2000 Nexus II, it’s less about dramatic peaks but more about sustained energy - staying in the zone and letting the rhythm speak.
Press play and get lost in it.🔊

SPND20 Mixtape by Planetary Assault Systems
A true legend lands on the latest SPND20 Mixtape 📼: @luke-slater joins the fold with a rare live set recording, captured in the thick of touring his ‘Sky Scraping’ album on Token. Recorded live, this set channels the intensity and precision that only decades of experience can deliver. Pure hardware power, relentless tension, and deep, mind-bending grooves. This is techno at its most alive.🔊
Luke Slater’s legacy runs deep. Over the last three decades, the UK-born artist has shaped electronic music under many monikers - while running the influential Mote-Evolver label and constantly pushing the boundaries of sound design, structure, and club impact. From early Warp releases to Berghain classics, he’s never stopped innovating.
The release of Temporary Suspension on Ostgut Ton in 2009 marked the powerful return of Slater as Planetary Assault Systems - reigniting the fire of classic techno and setting the tone for a new era of live performance.
This recording is a snapshot of that exact energy: deep, hypnotic, and unrelenting. Expect pure techno power from one of its most vital architects. 🎛️
We’re honored to have him join the mixtape series. Play it loud. This one’s from the source.🖤
