What’s your ideal breakfast?
Strawberries, Blueberries, light toast with peanut butter, and a ton of water.

What was the first record (or CD) you ever bought?
My first record was GEN-Y - Saturn Flow

What’s your musical guilty pleasure?
I am in a serious bluegrass phase, exclusively practicing harmonica and banjo

Does your alias have a backstory?
No alias, my dad was a carpenter in Hawaii for many years and he used Teak wood a lot. Teak Makai Zachary is my full name.

What’s the best thing you’ve ever got for free? (not a gift/present)
Advice on seeing the bigger picture from a cab driver in Croatia

Do you have a party trick?
I can spin a ball on almost anything (my finger, pencil, spoon, etc)

What’s your current rotation of non-dance music?
Lots of 90’s boom bap with some late 70’s trippy rock, like The Police, Blue Oyster Cult, Rush

Where's your current favourite place(s) in the world (and why)?
There is still a lot of world for me to explore, but Peru was an amazing place to experience. Berlin will always be special as well, of course.

Any other passions besides music?
I am a crafty guy, I love to make things. I like to skate and snowboard, but it is all in the spirit of music. I rarely think of anything else

What’s something you’re proud of about yourself?
I was lucky and found out what I want to do for the rest of my life at a very young age, I have been doing it ever since.

Describe your Earworm mix
I have been wanting to do a mix like this for a long time. It is very experimental and abstract in transitions and BPM, which allows me to showcase different techniques than normal. There is a lot of mashing, scratching, and jumping between two turntables and two CDJs. This is a story I haven’t been able to tell yet, very humbled and excited for a chance to share.

A. FALL IN DA NITE

[Straight Outta Marseille]

Noé was lulled by the psychedelic melodies of « Pink Floyd » and the funky rhythms from « The Red Hot ».
He finally gave up his  guitar chords to devote himself solely to electronic music.
Bleepy techno, electro, mental house and progressive sounds would represented his vibe.
It’s in mind of free party that Noé and his childhood friends decided to create their collective "Primeurs Sonores" several months ago.

This fresh product from the South spins his records here for the Luzerna podcast series.
Housy chords, aerial pads, Disco rhythms, deep strings and electrified percussions, 
Noé guides us through his energized and groovy universe with great ease and lightness…

Noé - Luzerna Podcast #002

I first encountered @philspank on a mountaintop in Santa Barbara, slapping the crowd with four-on-the-floor smackers. I've been following closely ever since through the @spacemilkmusic mix series, as well as his own Spank's Danks, where I've particularly been digging his selections.

In the Bay Area in particular, where Phil is based, he has been active in the scene through new party endeavor Room 4 Improvement, and through Space Milk parties, like their epic anniversary at CTRL Disco (although that is in Ventura).

With these parties still fresh, it seems there couldn't have been a better time to catch up with Phil. And what's more, but with an all vinyl mix of deep cut disco gems straight from his collection.

Be sure to catch up with Phil for yourself via our interview on the Peace Portal website:

And thank you once again to Peace Portal's new host station, Samewave Radio:
