Weekends matter 47: Felix Leiter (Mint Festival / Bitch)

Festivals may have been drifting towards the past tense recently but we’re giving them one final hurrah, and this week’s podcast reverberates to one of the best still left to do, Mint Festival. Located in the rather swish Lotherham Hall in Leeds, this year’s sees headline turns from Marco Carola, Seth Troxler, Ferry Corsten and plenty more in a complete smorgasbord of electronic music. We’ve been quite excited about the festival all summer, so you can read the words we’ve already wrote in their honour right here.

This mix comes from Felix Leiter, resident of Elektiqua in Newcastle and a star who continues to ascend in the world of electronic music. He’s playing as part of the Bitch arena (check our rundown of that part of the festival here) where he’ll be joined by the likes of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Nervo, Danny Howard and plenty more. Bitch themselves also turn seven later in the month,head here to read all about that, and this mix is crammed with the type of groove led abandon that has made the party so revered during that tenure.
