DJ mix: Thugfucker

A new compilation celebrates the veteran house-music innovator Charles Webster. Whether he’s producing under his own name or under one of his many aliases—Presence, Furry Phreaks and Love from San Francisco being just a few of his notable monikers—the U.K.’s Charles Webster has long been one of house music’s most respected figures, releasing tunes with a depth and sophistication rarely found in the genre. Despite the veteran’s aural refinement (or perhaps because of it), he’s never been the trendiest of music makers—which is not to say he doesn’t have a rabid fan base. Among Webster’s admirers is the crew at one of house’s biggest labels, Defected, which has tapped him to helm the latest edition of its ongoing retrospective series, House Masters. A collection of re-edits and remixes of classic Webster tracks, served with a side of unreleased tracks, it would make a fine album to play for your house-hating pals who think the genre is all kick drums and vocal samples.Time Out New York: You’ve been making and playing house music for well over two decades now. How does it feel to finally be a “house master”?Charles Webster: Well, you know, I think I’ve always been one. [Laughs] But it’s nice that it’s now official. To be honest, I was quite shocked when Defected asked me to do this, as my sound is perhaps less commercial and more left-field than what Defected often focuses on.Time Out New York: But you’ve had material come out on Defected before, so the people behind the lab

With the release of a new album, London’s Jon Hopkins gets the recognition he deserves. He’s been releasing subtly beautiful and emotive music since 1999’s Opalescent—but until recently, Jon Hopkins has probably been known more for his collaborations with the likes of Brian Eno, Coldplay and King Creosote, his award-nominated film scores and for contributing songs from Opalescent to episodes of Sex and the City. But with the June release of Immunity on the Domino label, Hopkins is getting his full due as a solo artist. The album’s a rich, layered work, mysterious, enthralling and brimming with sumptuous melodies shimmering atop sometimes sinister rhythms. Hopkins will be playing songsfrom that album, as well as his earlier work, when he plays the Warm Up shindig on Saturday, August 31, and later that night at Williamsburg’s intimate Cameo.Time Out New York: You’re probably getting a bit tired of hearing this, but congratulations on the great reaction to the new album. Jon Hopkins: I’m not tired of that at all; it’s still nice to hear. [Laughs] It took so long to write. And it seems like a lot of current music disappears so quickly that it’s considered old in just a few weeks, so I’m glad people are still discovering it.Time Out New York: The kind of music you make isn’t really throwaway material, so I don’t think you have to worry about that.Jon Hopkins: I’ve always been interested in that as an idea: What kind of music keeps its relevance? That’s why I purposely try and
