The world is experiencing a series of lockdowns and quarantines of varying severities, and club sets are pretty much a distant memory at the moment.

The upside to this is that it is inspiring a lot of DJs to switch up their game, so they can share their musical selections with audiences in different ways. One such example is the Shutdown mixtape series, available on Spotify.

Assembled by DJ Say Whaat, DJ Rapture, DJ Lumes, DJ Anrey and DJ Le Alen, Shutdown is their idea for DJs united against corona, and they have an incredible amount of 20-minute mixes up – approaching 200 already – covering a broad range of club styles, and have built up a substantial audience in just a week or two!

If you want to submit a mix, then hit them up on this email – [email protected] – get Google translate ready, as the default language is German! The standard is high, based on the ones I have listened to so far, and here’s a few of my favourites!
