I met Ms. Christina Badkiss at a cool lil spot in Manila where, after just a few minutes of hearing her spin, I knew immediately that she was my type of DJ. Mixing seamlessly between funky breaks, soulful house, hip hop, broken beat & bass tunes, she clearly had a keen sense of what works on the dancefloor. It barely even surprised me when an impromptu B-Boy cypher broke out- headspins, windmills and all. To complete the picture, Ms. Badkiss would make sure to sneak out of the DJ booth at every available opportunity to bust some dance moves herself, which is something I can relate to 100%. Since then, we’ve stayed in touch over email, and she continues to hit me up with dope new tunes that I often end up sharing here on the blog. Getting her to record a guest mix was just the next logical step. On “Still Waters Run Deep” you can hear some of her soulful house selections- minimal, simple, and deep- which make a perfect soundtrack for chilling, or for uprocking, depending on your mood. Be sure and check out her soundcloud page for more mixes from her (in a range of different styles), and if you’re in the Philippines, check out one of her many events or parties. Thank me later!

A 70-minute set gives the Afro, disco, house, Latin, and psychedelic elements enough room to shift without feeling like a checklist of genres. The label-series context also makes the track selection feel purposeful: it can introduce listeners to Saint Wax’s catalogue while standing on its own as a DJ mix. That balance between dancefloor energy and stranger textures is what makes guest mixes worth revisiting.

The 70-minute format gives this guest mix room to let its Afro, disco, and house foundations develop instead of treating the genres as a quick sequence of labels. The Latin elements and trippier psychedelic touches sound especially useful as connective material, since they can shift the mood without abandoning the dancefloor focus. A tracklist would make the comparison between those transitions even more interesting, particularly for listeners exploring the Saint Wax catalogue after hearing the mix.
