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 selector enough room to make the transitions between Afro, disco, house, Latin, and psychedelic textures feel intentional rather than rushed. The strongest approach is often to let rhythm establish the through-line first, then use the more unusual sounds as contrast points. That makes a guest mix easier to revisit while still leaving a distinct identity.

A 70-minute set gives the selections room to develop instead of treating Afro, disco, house, Latin, and psychedelic touches as quick genre switches. The most useful thread here is the sequencing: a mix can keep a dancefloor-oriented pulse while letting percussion, bass, and atmosphere gradually change the mood. That approach makes the Saint Wax catalogue feel like a context for listening, rather than simply a list of tracks to sample individually.
