Select 346: Mixed by Bushwacka!
Jul 30, 2025
This week on SceneNoise's select series, Matthew Benjamin, AKA Bushwacka! - one of the pioneers of the global electronic scene - will be taking over with a very special set.
Bushwacka! was at the birth of the acid house era and sowed the seeds of the first wave of tech-house in the UK in the 90s. Initially a percussionist in the London School Symphony Orchestra, Bushwacka! became a member of the Rat Pack after a warehouse party in 1988. Bushwacka! was also part of one of the world's most enduring DJ/producer duos with Layo.
His career spans over three decades, during which he launched his legendary party series Shake It, which billed some of the biggest electronic acts on the scene like Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier and more. He also held several international club residencies, including Pikes and Amnesia in Ibiza, and did a handful of shows across the globe.
With a new album and a 2025 world tour on the horizon, Bushwacka! treats us to a brilliant, loose-limbed, funky and percussive house workout (which also happens to be his first online mix in five years) featuring some of his most classic and rarest productions.

Select 347: Looswing
This week on Select, Beirut-based DJ and producer Looswing delivers a deep, rolling house mix full of soulful cuts and swinging rhythms, shaped by Detroit roots and a sharp ear for sampling. Aug 02, 2025 This week on Select, we hand it over to Beirut-based DJ, producer, and label head Looswing, whose mix delivers an hour of groove-heavy, deep house cuts that speak to a lifelong love for digging and a deep connection to the genre's roots. Born Elio Abdo, Looswing's style reflects his musical upbringing at the cultural intersection of Beirut and his spiritual ties to Detroit and Chicago's house legacies. With influences ranging from Theo Parrish and Boo Williams to Ras G and Nick Holder, his sets are grounded in classic underground energy, loop-driven, percussive, and always on a swing. A co-founder of Paille Records and the edits-based collective Enfants Du Swing, Looswing brings both curation and experimentation to the forefront. This mix, recorded between Beirut and Riyadh, leans into rolling basslines and carefully chopped samples - true to his name, you'll hear swinging hats from start to finish. Track IDs include 'Blue' (Joss Moog – Cobra Edits), Jimpster's soulful 'You Got My Love', and 'Yes or Not' by Tuccillo, all stitched together with ease and intention.
