El pasado 3 de enero Mr Wakanda, jefe de Luv Bar y Mau Mau Underground, organizó una noche "Tuff Luv" en el Laut de Poble Sec. 
Él y yo hicimos B2B antes y después del headliner de la noche, el capo de Clone Records y Clone Distribution en Rotterdam: Serge. 
El holandés se marcó un set memorable, de lo mejor que he escuchado últimamente. Empezó con Chicago house, a destacar el clásico "Drowning In A Sea Of House" de Laurent X y otros de Paranoid London, Mike Dunn o Mr Lee para pasar al electro con Dynarec, PRZ, Privacy... acabar con acid techno de Ten Lardell y cerrar con el "Emotinium" de Roy Of The Ravers. 

Pese a estar temerosos de cómo iría la noche por ser el 3 de enero y el hecho de que Serge pinchase de 2 a 4, a las 2 de la noche ya había ambientazo en la pista y acabó siendo una noche para el recuerdo.

Para acompañar este mix he hecho esta mini entrevista a Serge:

-When did you discover house music, and when did you start DJing?
-That must have been around 1986-87. I was listening to a lot of radio while doing homework, and I heard some really cool new dance music on a couple of shows. It was so different that I wanted to know more about it! It started with hip-hop, R&B, disco, and electro, but at the time, those sounds were mixed with house, wave, and early acid and techno. It was so powerful.

-When was the Clone label founded? What was your idea at the time? 
-In 1992. I was making music with a couple of friends and wanted to get it out into the world and play it myself (vinyl was the only way to play your music in a club). I decided to do it myself, just like the early house and techno labels that inspired me. I also wanted to keep creative freedom and experiment.

-If you had to recommend three essential Clone releases to someone who doesn't know the label, what would they be?
-I can’t answer that question because everyone has their own way into music. It’s personal for everyone, and I can only answer this question if I know someone’s preferences. Some people think Larry Heard’s music isn’t "party" enough and prefer trance. What can you do in such a case? 😊

I recommend spending time scrolling through the catalog and enjoying the pleasure of discovering music you’ve never heard before, all by yourself.

-How do you discover new talent for Clone Records?
-People in my network might recommend someone, I listen to demos, I discover new artists via social media, I hear a great new record by a producer I didn’t know, I connect at parties, or I meet people in the store.

-What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own record label?
-Haha, don’t do it! 😆
It’s going to suck up a lot of your time, and there’s a fair chance it will make you poor.

But seriously… just do whatever you want to do. Don’t listen to others—just see where it takes you.

-Three gigs from your career at a club or festival that you remember as the best.
The Colundi party at Tapeley Mansion in Devon.
A party in an underwater aquarium, two meters below sea level, in 1992 in Zeeland (all the fish died at the end of the event from the heavy bass 😅).
An illegal acid party in an abandoned fortress, where I did a live set with my old O.R.X. project around 1996.
And, of course, the Acid Planet parties at De Blauwe Aanslag.
