Tour de Force’s mixes have become a regular staple on Mahogany and definitely helped shape some of the summer parties that have happened since we got our hands on them.

Managing to capture the sights and smells of foreign summers – he’s just delivered a brand new August mix and it’s packed with the electric warmth that we’re always hungry for.

The second Tour de Force mixtape is out and we’re wasting no time in getting it to your ears.

Playing this back-to-back with Part I makes for two sweet (and sweat inducing) hours of heart-warming 80s-inspired electro and makes a beach sunrise party the only thing we want to do.

Again packed to the rafters with gems – it’s a mix that’ll Force everyone to get up off that lazy bums, no matter what time in the morning it is.

Bearing no relation to the current bike race, Tour de Force’s July Mix features 14 beautifully woven tracks – all of which sprinkled with tints of neon.

In a similar stride as Classixx – this mix is perfectly designed for summer party sunsets (and sunrises) and cements him as a Force to be reckoned with.

The last In The Mix(tape) was in March (!) so it’s about time we hosted another one and put some focus on them as we progress into the summer.

Belgian duo Hermanos Inglesos might have made a mixtape of almost purely their own content but it all seems to mesh well enough for them to get away with it -- the first track and single Wanderland is a treat.

Really like this one -- just in time for the weekend…

A new edition to the Mix(tape) series is brought to us by Adam F and Horx. The 10-track mix for Radio 1 features the likes of DJ Fresh, Nero, Joker and Emalkay so you get the idea of how it’s going to sound.

Now, I’m going to be honest here and say that when I hear really heavy dubstep played in a club, I usually sigh and sit down because it’s just not the right thing for a dancefloor (in my opinion). Don’t get me wrong, I love a dirty dubstep tune but prefer it through my headphones.

The pull factor me for with this mixtape and the big reason that’s up on Mahogany is the fact that it features the upcoming Nero single titled Innocence which is due out soon but not quite soon enough.

Anyway this is packed to the rafters with filth so here it is.

The producer of Holland’s The Sense of Dance radio show on BNN is a big fan of Mahogany and he’s sent us his latest mix.

Just looking at the tracklisting tells us that it’s going to be a treat and I’ve been waiting ages for a new mix that I really adore. What I like most is the range of different music presented here – it’s not a tour de force of brutal tracks because we’ve got The Whitest Boy Alive, Two Door Cinema Club and Animal Collective in there. It’s nice to see a non-restrictive list that chimes so many of my bells.

As for the radio show, Baltic Bastian produces a steller show every saturday night at 3am alongside host Ajouad El Miloudi.

This might take a bit of time to buffer due to the size but if you can’t download it, wait a few minutes and it will stream.
