NORTHMIX: Jerome Mestre

It only makes sense for the owner of one of the most unique and enigmatic imprints around to turn in an eclectic and jarring mix. This DJ set is a collection of tracks that are exclusive to the Parisian imprint Desire Records. In it, label founder Jerome Mestre showcases unreleased music from budding talents like Fawkes and Orphan Swords, as well as upcoming vinyl reissues from D. Stop and Martin Dupont.

The mix itself delves into ambient, techno, and some British post-punk. In no way is Mestre's mix something you'd expect to tunnel out of the speakers at a typical club set. Instead, it's very indicative of the label itself--diverse, head-turning, and at times haunting. It's a collection suitable for a casual walk or a gothic after hours indulgence. Most artists featured in this mix are either relatively unknown or underground. So take this mix as your crash course in subversive music from this cutting edge label.
