Hit record, started playing. V7 of Deep in the night was a 150min mix session, of which part 1 mix is min 30-90, with part 2 being min 90-150. Ended up really enjoying some of these tunes and how nicely they mixed! 

Part 1 is darker, minimal with hints of acid, ending on a deep dark note.
Part 2 brings us back to some melody and explorations of fresh wax and new tunes (literally first listen/mix).

DeepInTheNight V7 - PART1

I have always been an audiophile, that is the result of growing up with a father who has a thing for big sound, not such a bad trait to inherit. My love of sound grows from there, often as a child needing the music to be playing so I could occupy my mind as I fell asleep. 

In the late 90's (96/97) and I had my first experience with turntables and vinyl. I was hooked and in 1998 bought my first vinyl, and played actively till moving digital... through the 2010's I played with a fully digital setup, but gave up on chasing software updates... fast forward to 2024 and I am back to the pure analogue sounds of vinyl, the PlayDifferently Model 1.4 mixer and my trusted 1200s. 

From day one I have always been a techno fiend with my greatest influences coming from the London Acid Techno scene (SUF, Cluster, 4x4, etc), Sweden (Adam Beyer, Cari Lekebusch, etc) and probably the biggest influence being Richie Hawtin aka Plastikman and Detroit Techno. 

Armand-Emile is symbolic of who I am and my sound is a blend between House, Deep House, Tech House, Techno and Minimal ... some times even venturing into more progressive sounds.. It's all about the crowd and the dance floor and finding that groove.
