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 selections room to develop rather than treating Afro, disco, house, Latin, and psychedelic elements as separate boxes. The blend of those styles sounds especially suited to a label series: it can introduce listeners to the Saint Wax catalogue while still presenting a coherent point of view from the guest. The sequencing is likely where that range becomes most compelling, because transitions can reveal connections between rhythms that individual tracks alone may not show.

The stated 70-minute set sounds deliberately shaped around movement rather than a single genre lane: Afro, disco, and house establish the core, while Latin and psychedelic touches can keep transitions surprising. That kind of programming works best when the energy has room to rise and reset instead of chasing constant peaks. The label-series context also makes the mix feel like a focused introduction to a particular musical community, rather than simply a collection of tracks.
