Also this month we have got not 1 but 2 guest mixes, Firstly..Kanzelramt label boss steps up with a fine 30 minute laptop mix up, HEIKO LAUX was born in Hessen, close to Frankfurt, Germany. Inspired by early house music and regular visits to the legendary ‘OMEN’ club, Heiko spent the early 90’s making music and developing his dj-ing skills. He began releasing music by other artists on his highly regarded imprint in 1994, with regulars Anthony Rother, Johannes Heil, Patrick Linsey and Christian Morgenstern paving the way for the sound of the label. Over a hundred releases later, Kanzelramt is one of the strongest European labels with a solid artist line up that now also includes DJ Slip, Alexander Kowalski, Solid Gold Playaz and Diego alongside Heiko’s own work and successful Offshore Funk collaborations and he is one of the most booked German DJ’S on the circuit with a schedule that has seen him spin everywhere from Australia to Spain.

For our second guest mix we welcome up n’ coming talent YOAV B who hails from Tel Aviv, Israel. No stranger to the Split show, the past couple of years have seen Yoav’s music make their way into the boxes of DJ’s like Derrick May, DJ Hell and Rolando plus his tracks have been included on mix cd’s by Carl Craig, Steve Bug and Ame. His Wabi Sabi label while only 2 releases young is already a must have among forward thinking Dj’s and his forthcoming DELSIN ep is currently riding high in many promo charts, including ours.
