Guest Mixes

Hailing from the Belgian capital and as 1/3 behind the Şelale record on Second Circle, it's our friend soFa (@sofaholic) on mix 32. Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Chris, can you tell a bit about how you made your first steps in the scene as a DJ/producer?

SE: That was first by playing school parties only, and later by organising parties and getting booked by others in return. The usual game, but it was a bit easier as today since there was less competition I think. On the production side I am quite new to that. I started in 2018 only because I lacked time before that, I used to have a job as curator for an art festival and also digging for records kept me busy and excited for many hours every day. 

MFM: Earlier this summer saw the release of Selale on Second Circle, a collaborative project between you, Okay Temiz and Houschyar. Most releases you've worked on are collaborations. Is there a reason for that? 

SE: Yeh different reasons. It's much more fun to share the fun! I'm not a properly trained musician, I like to break rules, rather than applying them. Collaborating with people who know notes and harmonies allows to combine those 2 visions and the results are more exciting to my ears. I feel I have more to say by helping others to get their music right (or wrong) cause that's what all those years of digging after very specific records have taught me.

MFM: Any more projects lined up already?

SE: Yes, quite a bunch I produced with dear friends, Nyati Mayi, soon on Bongo Joe, CCCVVV with Clara Vellin on Strangelove Music and Sexo Y Fantasia with Da Boochie from Kiosk Radio on Glossy Mistakes coming up. There is also a solo record going to the pressing plant next week, coming out on Planet Trip in spring. It has guest singers, but I call it my solo record since I played the whole beats and synths by myself. Its probably gonna remain my only solo record for a while. I slipped into so many collabs and I'd like to focus on that. I especially love working with singers/voices and hopefully some day I get to produce a whole band project!

MFM: What are you hoping for to find in nightlife now that dancefloors are opening up again? Have you been thinking about this whole situation a lot at all?

SE: I am looking forward to seeing people smile and dance again! Party wise I would especially hope to find more groove and less hard music everywhere. I have the feeling the youth of today can only dance to hard stuff, I find that sad. Real music lovers can dance to anything. The whole situation is/was of course tragic for the nightlife sector. Especially for younger people who are in their best years to create a network of friends and experience adulthood for the first time. On a personal level I liked the time off. It allowed me to focus on a more healthy lifestyle and on making music. 

MFM: Cheers for contributing your mix! What can you tell about it? 

SE: I glued together the first half of it while on a roadtrip in Albania last month. Second half I did this morning in a rush. It's nice tunes, diverse and odd enough as I love. I don't care too much about the technical aspect, I just recorded a bunch of records I felt for sharing. In my opinion all that Dj thing is a bit overrated and way too serious. We are just playing other people's music afterall. There is an art behind that, but I feel it's getting lost more and more. For me it's not about the technical side of it, it's about adapting to people and still surprising them in an original way.

ZEPTER 16 - Coco Fresco - 23/10

Long time no see folks! And we're back with a real gem. My friend Patrick made this mix with records he dug at the bin, the growing bin to be exact. 
Obviously I love that stuff he plays and how he does it. He is a super human too. Releasing the Drum Chums 12s and these hot @talkingdrumsrecords with his buddies. We will be meeting in Bristol this saturday (march 5th @ The Love Inn, https://t1p.de/0m588) and I'm LOOKING MAD FORWARD TO IT! Thanks a ton for everything  and the mix Patch!!!

The Put On 029 W: Coco Fresco 11.02.2022

Ciao everyone! It's been a while.
Years of record collecting went by but I definitely missed a point there, sharing.

I decided to share some nice stuff that's resting in my crates for some time by releasing a mix every month. For the first one I put together a selection of mostly slightly odd but lovely German disco tracks pimped with some Czech and Romanian tunes in between. Better expect some cover versions as well. 😅

So let's get this started. 🚀

Gesellschaftliche Erwartungen is back with a special duo from Zurich called @cocofresco! Their infamous DJ sets are an eclectic overture of fine selected Italo, (Swiss) Disco and obscure sounds of the past and the future. Fitting my needs of happiness in this strange times of senseless violence. Coco Fresco refers not only to a tropical juice, it is that sweet melody rinsing down your ear, while enjoying the  bitterness of a clashing society. Stay fresh - stay strong.

Yours 
Lustpoderosa
