1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

 Me and my record collection... both very mixed.
I started collecting music in my early twenties. I was blown away by house music. The parties, the different styles, the mixing! Till today I am fully passionate about it. After that, my curiosity and my ears wandered off more and more to all kinds of genres. From disco to afrobeat, highlife, various jazz styles, a few indie records, reggae, some UK styles like garage, jungle, dubstep and much more.
But currently I’m very into the London jazz scene - big time!

 2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format?
 
7" you little beasts! What I really like about this format is that you can enjoy the unusual tracks on it. I have the feeling that artists are more willing to release more daring tracks on a 7" and that's totally fine by me.  

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?
 
classy mix - I selected tracks and arranged and rearranged them again and again intuitively. Whilst mixing, I noted that the selection was resembling a concert-like narrative. With an opener, a dancing part, a ballade and a goodbye closing track. And I enjoyed this analogy so much, that I stuck to it throughout the whole process. I am incredibly happy that I could experience this, thanks 45/7 vinyl club!

 4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

I´m a happy member of éspassiert collective and co-founder of LEiSURE collective. So you can definitely catch me on any events affiliated with these two names. And you can listen to my latest mixes and check my updated list of gigs and radio-shows online on my soundcloud page.

In Hour 2 it's fellow Canadian Gene Tellem who released her debut EP “Who Says No” on Project Pablo’s label SOBO (Sounds Of Beaubien Ouest) last month. Her mix takes in music from Lola Allen, Sean Smith, LK, Morgun, DMX Krewcharles Trees and Bradford James. She told us;
"Mixes are a great way to give certain songs another life after seeing their effect in confined space. Often those will be put aside to be rediscovered later on. A mix is also a great way to introduce new pieces that i’m excited about, in hopes to create some familiarity for them with the listener that may find themselves hearing it out in the clubs and dance parties of the world."

Dekmantel Soundsystem (Thomas Martojo) - 19th May 2018

Last summer we heard Sanshiro play a superb late night set in a Tokyo bar alongside our friends Takumi, Morita, and Julian Horn. He frequently plays around the city and shares records from his collection over on his “Deep Dance Music Page” site, a blog he has been running since 2005. In the Japanese tradition it lovingly presents an insanely wide-ranging amount of music from all across the globe, often with personal descriptions. For this mix, Sanshiro assembles a ton of avant-garde percussion alongside some reggae, funk, jazz and latin sounds
