IDA Helsinki 1 Year Birthday Bash - Eric Filipus

Eric Filipus
DJ, selector, radio host and natural wine mastermind.

ERIC FILIPUS / PERROS IN-STORE SESSION #001

Throughout the years in the industry and contributions through nightclubs, community radios, record shops, and listening bars, Eric is known for his diverse taste both as a DJ and musical curator. After spending a decade within the music scene in Helsinki, Finland, Eric decided a couple years ago to change the scenery to Mediterranean coast in Barcelona. 

For this 3rd episode of lazed mix series, Eric Filipus takes us somewhere between mountains, seas and forests. An hour voyage deeply rooted on the tribal spectrum and a glimpse of the folklore of an imaginary civilization that we can draw in our mind while listening...

Eric: "The mix is a sum of a months long music journal, centered around spiritual listenings. For a change, I chose not to actively search for tracks. Instead, while listening to music over the past few months, I set aside every piece that resonated within the spiritual context, in sort of a journal way…

Bringing all these pieces of music almost blindly to the studio and intuitively selecting each record while recording felt natural and more importantly honest. It was like gathering moments from the recent past and arranging them in a completely new order. I find value in this approach, where extensive research and preparation lead to a spontaneous compilation at the last moment. 

Every track is played in its entirety, so it’s more of a curational thing, rather than a mixtape. I hope you have peaceful times and can feel at least some of these moments while listening to the recording.

Much love, E"

lazed03 - Eric Filipus - "Spiritual journal through the seasons"

"I was planning to go a bit more atmospheric and techno, but the summer heat took me in a housier direction. I included some personal classics that rarely leave the bag and a bunch of new releases from friends and other producers whose work I admire. After having a little break from DJing, I gained a lot of perspective and felt a need to reconnect with my roots in house music—the dubby, percussive, tribal kind. But let the selection speak for itself; at least it's very true to me."

IDA Folder - Eric Filipus 09.08.24

A little while ago, I was invited to play a listening set at Club Raum, where @interfering-grounds transformed one of the rooms into a very unique kind of listening and chill-out space.

Sadly the recording faced some technical difficulties, but I wanted to record something inspired by that special night. All the same records, but played in a less clubby, more homey way. Soft tension, each track given space to play all the way through.
I hope you enjoy listening 🌀✨
