One of my favourite things about music is reminiscing about, and rediscovering tracks that randomly appear on a large shuffled playlists. Today, during a 3 hour chili cooking session, my phone's shuffle played me these great tracks:
Flux Pavilion - Pogo People
The 2 Bears - Take A Look Around
Mssingno - XE2
Sable - Surf
Madeaux - Chakra feat. Fifi Rong
Shaun Frank - Time
The Glitch Mob - Beauty Of The Unhidden Heart (Chrome Sparks Remix)
Jennifer Lopez - First Love (Syn Cole Remix)
Charli XCX - 13reak The Rules (Sava&Razz Remix)
A$AP Ferg - Fergsomnia ft. Twista
alt-j - Left Hand Free (Lido Remix)
Mitski - Francis Forever (Ryan Hemsworth Remix)
Fairmont - Gazebo (Sebastien Leger Remix)

Lido Live at The Hoxton (Review)
I've finally had enough time to decompress and reflect on an absolutely amazing night, Friday at the Hoxton for Lido's live performance. It was everything you'd expect and more, particularly because of the surprise appearance of Santell, Lido's most recent collaborator on The Passion Project. Upon arriving at the Hoxton just before midnight and the crowd was already feeling it. It was the first time I'd ever seen dance circle in the Hoxton, and this one was prolonged and featured a wide range of skills from people eating it and a couple deadly battles of carpet cutters. The length of the circle was aided by the opening DJs' long tracks. The one track that stood out to me was a remix of classic Timmy Thomas track "Why Can't We Live Together," which has now been famously sampled by Drake for "Hotline Bling." It's a great remix that culminates in a heavily string aided drop but doesn't stray too far from the original. I'm hopeful someone can identify the remixer because I'd love to add it to my collection; listen below...
I'm not sure who the openers ended up being, as I'm fairly certain the above video isn't either of hrmxny or GrandBuda. Someone said that they had merged this show with another so perhaps these guys were headliners from another event I didn't know about. Regardless, I was there for Lido, who hit the stage shortly after 12:30. And this is how it happened...

Lido Live at The Hoxton (Preview)
I've been waiting for today since the first of June, as it was the first day to order Lido tickets for his November 6th live performance at The Hoxton. I've been a fan of Lido and his side project Trippy Turtle for more than a year. I missed his Trippy Turtle set last fall because of a wedding but nothing like that was going to stop me seeing his live set up this time.
Ever since his remix of Disclosure "Latch" became a viral sensation after RL Grime dropped it at last year's Coachella, as you can see here. Or listen to the full quality original below:
You can find a copy of all of his amazing remixes including the aforementioned Disclosure mix, as well as a brilliant versions of Alt J, Banks, Bastille and Bill Withers. All you have to do is play his trademark on his official webpage at http://www.lidogotsongs.com/ (hint: M-J-T-F)

What makes Lido special is his pure, unadulterated love for music. From what I've heard of his live performances, his passion pours through the numerous electronic devices that he brings to life with his beautiful remixes and awe-inspiring originals.
