Backyard: Mixtill6 Recordings (Boston-Based Tech House Label)
Saturday, October 10, 2009 at 2:16PM 
Many thanks to label founder Lenny Sosa for pointing me in the direction of this site! Mixtill6 is a Boston based label who’s output slants towards the glitchy, synthesized world of tech house and minimal. They have been up and running for a little over a year now and recently launched their site, which includes a fully functioning blog along with plenty of gallery goodies including mix downloads, links to purchase tracks, and photos.
Mixtill6’s roster includes a small handful dj/producers, including Morgan Stoner, NLYTN (Lenny himself), GH, and Orion Keyser. On the homepage there are links to download about a dozen tracks from their back catalogue. I can describe their sound as very deep and melodic, some of the tracks by GH and NLTYN almost lean towards trance in terms of the pad and string arrangements.
Lenny/NLYTN’s “Avenus of the Strongest” has a contemporary feel that takes advantage of a nice grunged-up electro bassline contrasted against a higher pitched, lo-fi sounding lead. It even opens with a few licks on guitar that quickly fade into the background as the bassline kicks in, never to be heard again.
Mixtill6 has a few releases marked on the calendar for late 2009; be on the lookout for them via their site.
They also have a soundcloud account run by Lenny/NLYTN where tracks are uploaded on the regular. Be sure to check out his recent W.F.O. mix, which includes a nice representation of the sound they’re working towards!
