Today’s musical treat is an extended DJ Set from Visionquest, a new breed of DJ’s & producers made up of the very talented; Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves & Lee Curtis.

Together, the quartet have released tracks on leading labels like Crosstown Rebels, Spectral Sound, Get Physical, Circus Company, Supplement Facts, Wolf+Lamb, Wagon Repair and Minus.
As a collective and on their own, the DJ/Producers have spun all over the dance globe, rocking the dancefloors at Fabric (London), Watergate (Berlin), Cityfox (Zurich), Tenax (Florence), Fiesta Privada (Rome), Cocoon (Frankfurt) and Circoloco@Dc10 (Ibiza) as well as holding their weekly ‘Soulshower’ residency at Club Der Visonaere in Berlin.

It’s a 3 hour ride but have no fear, it’s Deep, Dark and Housey & we have had it on loud in the Habit office all morning. Well worth a listen!

In this series the Habit residents will upload a mix they’ve recoreded in the past. The mix will be available for streaming and download for one week only when the next mix will be uploaded.

This edition, James Roberts, 1 third of Habit’s PJR Project, takes to the turntables to supply the Chicago house mix from early 2011.

Get this on loud & celebrate the sunshine!

Its a tasty little ditty by the brilliant Art Department.

Art Department is the brainchild of Canadian techno/house Legend Kenny Glasgow and Canada’s fastest rising star and No.19 label owner – Jonny White.

Part of the Crosstown Rebels label, the duo are regarded as one of the scenes most forward thinking, revolutionary underground producers.

The mix is taken from the Ministry Of Sound earlier this month and its a recent DJ set that needs turning up!

May & the summer is here….. or not judging by the weather.

It’s a late one, but here’s a slab of uplifting beats from Future Boogie’s head honcho El Harvo with Christophe joining alongside him for a 2+ hour sonic journey. This should hopefully bring a ray of sunshine into your world!

How good was our 5th Birthday? Too good that’s how… A massive thank you to all who came and made it such an amazingly memorable night.. We had a blast.

So, this May we’re back again at our spiritual home. The Bulls Head, Moseley..

First up is a mix by me recorded in either ’06 or 07 but i think it’s ’06. The first half is deep before it get’s a bit techier towards the end which sums up that period for me when nights like Below and labels like Freak n Chic ruled the (my) world.

Have a listen, you may just like it!

Bank Holiday weekend is upon us and this means that the promoters are out in force, supplying line up’s galore knowing that extra day off can be used up for dancing!

To get you in the mood, here’s today’s offering from another firm favourite at Habit HQ, Soulclap.

Perfect afternoon fodder as we wish away the hours left in the working week, ready to let ourselves go and party!

Heads down for this mix as Habit welcomes Luke Howard, one fourth of the brilliant Disco champions, Horse Meat Disco to the mix.

This is a heads down sleaze fest of disco and fine beats, curated by a fanatic whose appetite for disco has seen the London based quartet invigorate the scene to the masses and their weekly Sunday shindig at the Eagle in Vauxhall, a must go party.

Dave Pezzner hails from Seatle in the good old U.S. of A. and produces lush deep house records that often find their way on to the habit turntables.

He’s produced tracks for top labels including Freerange, 8 Bit and Crosstown Rebels and many more…..

Get your ears round this lovely offering, recorded live at Piknic Electronik Mutek 2011.. Enjoy..
