2 of the 2 are appearances.

Every one of these resolves on Discogs; the ones that do not are not printed. What Discogs files them under is not printed either — its label column carries mix series as if they were imprints.

The nights, the rooms and the bills are the listings themselves. The biography and the photograph are Resident Advisor's. The records are Discogs'. Nothing on this page was written for it.
