It's not hard to pinpoint the appeal of Melbourne's Andrew Wilson, aka András. His DIY production style has a naive quality that's tactile, intimate and (almost always) infectious. The pillow-light percussion, the drifting synths, the retrograde drum machines – it's the stuff of moonlit boulevards, pastel pink speedboats and the fabled Balearic dream. Drawing together ambient new-age, lo-fi garage house and tropical funk, it's a sound with real creative cohesion: calming without being corny; leisurely before falling limp.

Our Upfront series often works best for producers like András who really own their own aesthetic in this way. The artists who seem to have nailed their creative identity. Even so, each mix we showcase here is a sketch of an artist's mind at a certain point in time. In this case, we've been lucky enough to catch a rare moment in flux: a 30m outing in which András trades in his easy-going fare for a mix of club-ready (and quite bonkers) house productions.

After a hilarious soundboard of his Dad's instructional VHS tapes on home-plumbing, it's all go. 125BPM and beyond, there's bumping kicks, acid tinges and a whole spread of nutty samples (ducks, pneumatic drills and wheezing Aussie sports commentators all feature). His signature style remains – the hooky melodies, the natural tones, the simple palette – but it's more hyperactive and fun than ever.
