Data Transmission Podcast

Chicago’s Très Mortimer lands on the Data Transmission podcast this week, fresh from dropping his ‘PRADA’ release on his own Optics Records and bringing a mix packed with unreleased fire.

The Optics boss has been carving out his own lane in recent years, pushing groove-led house rooted in Chicago tradition but built for modern floors. With releases across labels like Ministry of Sound, Mad Decent and Three Six Zero, plus support from the likes of Seth Troxler, BLOND:ISH and Diplo, Mortimer’s records have been doing damage from rooftops to sweaty basements.

His mix for DT gives a proper snapshot of where his head’s at right now. The opener sets the tone straight away with his unreleased collaboration with Geo Smith, ‘Bass Controller’, a track he recently tested in New York and describes as “dancefloor certified.” It’s a chunky, groove-heavy start that rolls straight into cuts from Life on Planets and Jansons, DMX Krew, CASSIMM and Kolter.

There are a couple more unreleased moments in there too, including JAKKOB’s ‘DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?’, while the middle section lifts off with a mash-up of Maori and OMRI’s ‘Levitate’ layered with Future, Metro Boomin, Playboi Carti and Travis Scott’s ‘Type Shit’.

Naturally, Très Mortimer’s own ‘PRADA (Hans Extended Mix)’ makes an appearance. It’s his favourite moment in the mix and a darker flip of the record, driven by heavy basslines and late-night pressure. That bassline approach is a big part of his style too, he prefers grooves that skip the first beat, leaving space for the drums to punch through and keep the floor moving.

The mix wraps with club-ready cuts from Gabss, Méssous and Kolter, keeping the groove locked all the way through.

Next up, Mortimer is gearing up for a big hometown moment with ARC Festival in Chicago, with the announcement landing soon.

Hit play below and dive into Très Mortimer’s Data Transmission mix.

A new name, same club intent.

Lex Valverde steps into the Spotlight Mix for the first time, closing the chapter on Better Than Lex and moving forward under his own name. It’s not a rebrand for the sake of it. It’s ownership. Clearer identity. Tighter direction.

Five years in Germany left their mark. Now based in Amsterdam, he’s absorbed that European pressure from the inside, playing across Mexico, Europe and Japan and lining up alongside Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens and KI/KI. You can hear it in the selections.

This mix leans into the space between tech house and techno. Rolling low end. Tighter drums. Darker frameworks. It builds properly, no rush, no filler.

There’s a nod to the past with Better Than Lex – Believe In The Music on Data Transmission, but the energy is firmly forward-facing. Adam Beyer, Victor Ruiz, Carl Cox. Weight where it needs to be. Groove where it counts.

It feels like a statement without shouting. A DJ drawing a line and getting on with it.

Lock into Lex Valverde’s Spotlight Mix now and hear where the next phase begins.

Joey London Style steps up for Data Transmission as his ‘Clurb’ EP lands on Hottrax this January.

Fresh from his latest outing on Jamie Jones’ label, the London-raised, Manchester-based selector delivers a mix stacked with groove and intent. ‘Clurb’ and ‘Little Bitter’ both feature, with the latter his personal pick, and you can hear why. Tough drums. Weighty low-end. Built for busy rooms.

There’s plenty of Joey London Style dubs in here too. ‘Copy Kats’, ‘HOT GIRL CRAZY’, ‘The Speed Train’ and ‘Grip Tight’ all get a run out, sitting alongside cuts from Joe Thomas, Ruggier and Baylee Brown. It moves fast. It keeps its punch. No filler.

If you’ve been following his rise through Hottrax, Cuttin’ Headz and Metamorfosi, this feels like another clear step forward. Focused, confident and very much aimed at peak-time.

Stream the full Joey London Style mix now on Data Transmission and grab ‘Clurb’ via Hottrax on 23rd January.

Josh Hvaal steps up for DT Podcast 946 with a 100% JHV Mix, and it lands heavy.

Eight releases deep with Jamie Jones and his Hot Creations camp, Josh Hvaal has moved from breakthrough name to reliable club weapon. From ‘The Sound EP’ through to a steady run of dancefloor records, he’s earned backing from heads like Patrick Topping, Joseph Capriati, Solomun and Pete Tong. Not by accident. The tunes work.

This week’s mix says it plainly. A journey through the sound of a 100% JHV Mix. Fourteen tracks. All Josh Hvaal. Around 75% unreleased. No filler, no detours. Just rolling drums, tight low end and that clipped vocal energy he’s dialled in over the last few years.

There’s weight in the IDs. You can hear the next six months taking shape. ‘Where Ya Been Baby’ and ‘Rhythm Of House’ bring that direct, peak-time bounce. ‘Want 2 Feel’ locks into a groove that feels built for low ceilings and warm rooms. And then there’s ‘Hustlers Dance’, the standout and Josh Hvaal’s personal favourite in the mix.

‘Hustlers Dance’ drops Friday 13th February on Trick, the label run by Patrick Topping. It’s one he’s been working towards for a while, and you can hear why. It’s sharp. Confident. Built for those moments when the floor is already moving and you just need to push it further.

Josh Hvaal has been steadily building his own lane too with Gibberish, unveiled by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, and that same drive runs through this hour. It feels focused. No hype. Just club music made by someone who spends time in clubs.

DT Podcast 946 is a marker. A snapshot of where Josh Hvaal is right now, and where he’s heading next.

Lock into the full 100% JHV Mix, and keep ‘Hustlers Dance’ on your radar this Friday.

HOLL3 lands on d0ted with the ‘Transcend EP’, out 27 February 2026, but this drop is really about context. Because alongside the release, she steps up for a Data Transmission Spotlight Mix, and that’s where the picture fills in properly.

The EP itself is tight and direct. Three tracks that pull from UKG pressure and techno weight without getting stuck in either lane. ‘Never Be The One’ leans vocal and punchy. ‘Fresca’ goes low and murky. ‘Space Duck’ keeps things restless and wired. It’s club music built from a DJ’s instincts, not studio habits.

That mindset runs straight through the mix. This is high-energy, no-dead-air selection. UKG, rave, bass, techno and hard-edged club cuts stitched together with purpose. Originals, unreleased bits, and proper curveballs. It moves fast, but it’s controlled. Exactly how her sets land.

HOLL3’s been building this quietly for a while. Dame Game, grassroots parties, serious support slots, and now production that backs up the reputation. This mix feels like a marker moment.

Lock into the Spotlight mix first. Then circle back to the EP.
