Welcome to this month’s staff curation, where the Mixcloud team shares our favorite finds from June 2026. From celebrating Pride anthems and exploring French Hip-Hop to discovering deep Jazz textures and underground Punk, dive into a diverse collection of mixes that have captured our ears and defined our listening habits.

Jake Ferguson – Wet Wax Takeover on Voices Radio 

Exploring Japanese Jazz and psychedelic textures, this show is from London-based bassist, composer, and producer Jake Ferguson. He’s best known as the Co-Founder of the UK deep Jazz/Psychedelic Funk outfit The Heliocentrics, and his set for Voices Radio is sublime. Lead Product Designer Ricky called this mix a “mad wild ride across weird corners of Jazz, Psychedelia and experimentation. I want to live in this guy’s record collection.”

Raven Lunachick – Rock ‘N’ Rebel Radio #61-TV CASUALTY!

Paying tribute to the flickering screens that kept her up way past her bedtime, Mixcloud’s horror-core queen Raven-Lunachick has topped the Garage Punk charts again! This mix is a must-listen for fans of late-night creature features and Saturday morning cartoons. Engineering Lead Neil describes it as a “fantastic collection of underground Punk, Post-Punk, Goth and No Wave.” “I just discovered Raven when a friend shared this show, TV Casualty, with me and the first track in the mix was from Rezistors, so Raven’s profile was an instant follow,” he continued. “The rest of the mix doesn’t disappoint with driving tunes from Misfits, RMFC and Man or AstroMan. Raven resisted the urge to play anything by Television.”

Waxman – FOMO Pride 2026

We’ve been celebrating Pride here on Mixcloud and here’s another mix to continue celebrating queer artists and gay anthems. Waxman is a Tel Aviv-based DJ and music producer whose mixes cover everything camp, from 2000s Pop to Eurovision recaps. Playing everything from Lady Gaga to RuPaul, his ‘FOMO’ mix has some brilliant new remixes to start Pride celebrations.

Philip Baldwin and Clare Lynch – The Pride Hour on Soho Radio

Philip Baldwin is a British human rights and LGBTQIA+ activist, writer and public speaker. Clare Lynch is an independent audio producer, local historian and radio host based in the Soho area of London. The pair have been doing Pride specials on radio since 2020 and produce quarterly shows for Soho Radio. Beyond the Pride specials, Clare has produced projects like the ‘Soho Then’ podcast for The Photographers’ Gallery and frequently works on arts and cultural audio documentaries. 

Their Pride Hour 2026 features some incredible guests. Peter Tatchell, who famously ambushed former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s motorcade in London (1999) and Brussels (2001) to attempt a citizen’s arrest for human rights abuses. Lady Phyll, who publicly refused an MBE from the Queen. Adelle Barker, host of the insightful ‘#IDontKnowHowToBeTrans’ podcast. Dani St James, founder of Zoah, an inclusive underwear and swimwear brand. Finally, Bobbi Pickard, who founded ‘Trans in the City,’ a massive global network that brings together hundreds of major corporations to advance trans and non-binary inclusion in business.

Haseeb Iqbal – Arsenal Victory Celebration Ep. 151

London has been a positive place over the last few weeks since Arsenal FC won the Premier League. Capturing that feeling, Haseeb Iqbal reflects on a night of pure history as Arsenal secured its first title in 22 years. He dedicates the show to the club he grew up in love with and shares tales of the bedlam on the streets of Islington over the weekend. Creative lead Sally picked this one out for “my arsenal sis xxx.”

Hannah Faith – EUPHONIC

London-based DJ and curator Hannah Faith has been dropping gorgeous mixes on Mixcloud for over eight years. Everytime she does, they’re incredible and there’s no surprises as to why this mix topped both the Brazilian Jazz and Hip-Hop Beats charts. Our Brand Partnerships lead, Joe, found himself mesmerised by “a beautiful mix that expertly weaves its way between Brazilian Jazz, House, Folk and Hip-Hop. Perfect for the headphones whilst travelling around London, as the sun makes an appearance and we move into summer. Vibes!”

Sirli Rajas – #5

Olli, one of our Product Managers, unearthed this underground creator from Estonia who works as a wellness and health coach. Sirli’s love for Minimal and Deep House has brought her onto Mixcloud to share her progress with her hobby of DJing. Plainly put, Olli intros “some minimal sounds to put on in the background and chill to”. 

NTS Guide to: Rap Français 1996 – 3rd June 2026

NTS’ guides are brilliant for the inquisitive music lover looking to dive into a genre or scene you never knew existed. Editorial Lead, Yemi, observes: “The 1990s were clearly a great time for Rap around the world because this dedication to French Hip-Hop – specifically in arguably the greatest year of the decade, 1996 – is a slap”. 

Rat-Ward #72

Rat-Ward Radio is a netradio show dedicated to rare, underground and forgotten music. Product Manager Laurie picked this one out. She described this one as “Post-Punk and DIY stuff from the early 1980s, a lot of it pretty obscure. Mostly European (French, German, British) with a few American outliers thrown in. Metal Urbain, Clock DVA, early Scritti Politti and more.” 

OSKAR MED K – Happy Hour DJ on FG DJ Radio

Radio FG was founded in 1991 and is based in Paris. The French radio station has always discovered and supported upcoming artists and promoted the biggest DJs in the electronic music space. Their happy hour segment back in May featured Oskar Med K, a Norwegian electronic dance music producer. Mobile wiz Julian “discovered Oskar Med K by chance recently and really enjoyed this mix of uplifting and chill House. It includes a great Womack & Womack remix by Rules.”

Jazzie B Radio Show – Back II Life – 31st May 

When I need some soul in my life, I go to one of the OGs: Soul II Soul’s Jazzie B. If you’re on Mixcloud Premium you can always see his tracklists, and he always puts new artists on whilst playing the best music from the last 60 years. Covering the best Black music has to offer. It doesn’t get much better.
