oki-ni presents: WARM by Ben UFO & Jackmaster

This week’s MIX is a special back-to-back live recording from two of the UK’s brightest talents, as Ben UFO of Hessle Audio and Jackmaster of Numbers join forces to build something special: the perfect warmup set. Recorded live at Trouw at the start of this year, the MIX is a tribute to that early stage of a night when people are still filtering in and things, slowly but surely, begin to gather momentum, as Ben explains:

“This MIX is dedicated to the art of the warm-up set. The Colors night at Trouw in Amsterdam recently organised an event where Jack and I were booked alongside Oneman and Cinnaman, a line-up consisting of specialist DJs who don’t produce playing for the duration of the night.

Jack and I had been talking about how rare it was to walk into a club and see DJs building up a set and genuinely warming up the crowd, understandable given that every DJ wants to make an impact and make sure they’re remembered at the end of the night. With that in mind we put ourselves forward to attempt to play the kind of warm-up we’d like to hear more often.”
