LYO#233 / Free Shelter

Hailing from the northern part of Europe, and member of the collective Free Shelter, DJ Margerita has slowly been making a name for himself in the local Helsinki scene. Working through moods and genres based on the occasion, he can be seen spinning records at hifi wine bars, infamous clubs such as Kaiku or even below the surface joints not known to many. Even though he's comfortable in almost any setting, he enjoys the sweaty intimate clubs the most. A setting he might be seen at often, but flourishes when done so.

The mix in question was recorded on a windy November evening at home when he was the only one awake and filled with inspiration. From a sentimental beginning to a high-energy ending, via some bits and pieces. From Helsinki with Love.

LHR 163 w/ Dj Margerita

Just a random bunch of recent shazams, vinyl pickups and old favorites... all thrown together. No specific idea or correlation behind it really.
Some mixes were cleaner and some were rougher (especially the ending with Tondalayo and Emancipation... really sorry about that one), but life goes on.
Enjoy!

Music I Listen To 10.0

Free Shelter é um coletivo, uma label, um canal do Youtube (maravilhoso diga-se de passagem) e uma rádio formada pelos talentosos Miro-Benji, Aaron Maple, Aake Kivalo e DJ Margerita.

Diretamente da cena underground de Helsinki, na Finlândia, a crew amacia os nossos ouvidos com os seus famigerados edits que incluem uma pesquisa de sons exóticos totalmente abaixo do radar. 

O mix deles foi gravado exclusivamente para nós num dia chuvoso (e provavelmente bem gelado), e inclui diferentes gêneros, bem do jeitinho que a gente gosta!
