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.

After a longer break, Marko Nastic is back with a new Easy Tiger release that was surely worth the wait!

This time, Marko is bringing us three banging tracks that are inspired by the comeback of the 90s club sound with a cosmic touch to it. The opening track, "How to Create the Vibe Around", is an old-school roller with a punchy drum and a heavy bassline. Dreamy and trance-inspired synths will push you to the dance floor, and the acid sound will make you move. While you're vibing, the vocal is sure to hit the spot and complete this journey. "An Ode to the Executioner" is the beast of this EP. Starting with crazy modulations, it creates an euphoric energy that is fulfilled with a fat bassline and a straight-on techno beat. Uplifting acid and trance vocals keep us in a rapture state of mind.Last but not least, "Cables And Rain" continues the party with an old-school drum loop and a groovy bassline that reminds us of Marko's recognizable older production. Coloring this banger is a refreshing flute melody and a repetitive vocal. And of course, the wrapper of the track, once again, is the acid sound that is sure to lock you in place.

Out beginning of October in all major shops. Distributed by Memoria.

After several months, we land with the ninth edition programmed by Morgana Parel, a Peruvian artist who brings us acid and introspective sounds designed for moments of hypnosis in the club, two original tracks with a lot of intensity that are added to a reconstruction by Inés Duarte, who from Portugal brings us a spacey and spicy version such as chimichurri.
Happy to connect with female artists on the planet and bring them once again an eclectic release musically, useful for different track moods.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
