As the 7th edition of our Sound of Another Name series, deepest digger and rare lover Carsten Jensen takes us on a trip down forbidden rhythms and mysterious vocals.  

'The idea behind this mix is the use of old drum machines in each track as a backbone. Within the last couple of years I’ve been digging a lot for records made during the 80s and one of the reasons for that is that I’m heavily into the sounds of the old drum machines. I just really love the sound of them: Most of the Roland ones including the 626, 707, 808 and the early Dr55 and Dr110. I also love the LinnDrum, Casio RZ-1 and Korg KPR-77. There is just something about how they sound that’s really pleasing to my ears no matter the instrument whether it’s rim shots, toms, claps, snares or hi hats. 
This mix goes through a handful of sub genres and there is more than 35 years between the release date of the newest and the oldest tracks. To me the tracks still blend nicely because of the aesthetics of the drum machines. 

I hope you like it too. I hope this is a bit of relief until our beloved clubs and dance floors are open again. Can’t wait to get out there, dancing and listening with you all again.'

Please enjoy!!

I love music - it's the language of no translation. Danistani living in Copenhagen. I DJ around town and has been doing so since 2003

Besides DJ'ing as LKM, Lasse is also in a B2B-crew where he plays along with his friend Jacob Ankjaer-Jensen. Together they call themselves "Revision" - a hint to what they do when not sending you the best tunes throughout the speakers.

Lasse started out by listening to HipHop, but has alongside been much into electronic music ever since the 90's. He therefore has a natural love, passion and feeling for both of these sounds. 

In the very beginning of his career he was sneaking into warehouse parties and night clubs around the world, and got caught not just by the music itself but also by the club culture. He was also pushed a bit in this direction by his older brother, who opened the doors and showed him the world of electronic music from a side that he could never forget or let go again. His brother also took him to different places on earth, so that they could go watch (and party) with some of the best DJ's in the world.

After this amazing presentation from his brother, Lasse started his own journey of electronic sounds. He still loves to watch and listen to other DJ's play their sets (as he used to along with his brother) anywhere in the world, and he therefore often travels to go see "the magicians do their work".

After several years in front of the DJ booth (doing nothing but dance and enjoy the tunes) Lasse finally bought his own equipment from his brother (2 technique turntables, 1 xone92 mixer end some speakers). The gear was set and he now just wanted to show the world all of the ideas, that he had built up for so many years while dancing and watching his friends (and other hardcore DJ's) work behind the turntables.

Ever since his brother started to drag him to the craziest parties around the world, Lasse has been unstoppable in the search for both new and old electronic sounds - cause as he says, most of the gold and glitter, is to find at places where no one looks. This has also made him a DJ that works in different genres and combines many of these genres in ways never seen before.

Lasse finds his inspiration in all sorts of music and soundings, and loves to combine and mix them together. He is especially inspired by the tunes of Detroit/Chicago house, Oldschool house, Techno, DeepHouse,  TechHouse and many more genres.
