Need something to listen to en route to FM? Toshiki Ohta has got you covered

As both a meticulous technician and a built-in-the-90s raver, Toshiki Ohta is the kind of DJ who can mega-mix his way out of the tightest genre corner. Which is handy, because his gift to FM this year is a near-three-hour mix crafted entirely from this year’s line-up – a task so excessively awkward you have to wonder if there’s some sort of masochistic kink going on here.

Now the risk, obviously, is completing the task to the letter only to deliver a rizzless plodathon of C-tier tunes and awkward transitions. But this is Tosh we’re talking about: no half measures! The result is monument to the moment: hoving into view under a fog of ambient Midland, it starts heady and heads-y, flowing through chuggy electro (auratekh, Lena Willikens) and rugged club tesselations (Ikonika, Prince of Deptford) before hitting a shinier seam of techno intensity (Roza Terenzi, Benton) and exploding into confetti cannon rave (Angel D’Lite, Big Ang).

Unsurprisingly, Tosh rates it as one of the most time-consuming sets he’s ever put together (including his recent eight-hour Goodhood mix). “It was a massive researching process – there were spreadsheets,” he sighs, “because I treat every mix that I do like I’m recording a mix CD in 1995.” Standing O, please!

BIO (English)

Born & raised on Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Carlos, most know by his last name; Laínez, has tightly driven himself into the electronic music scene, inspired by his passion for music since young, and also influenced by some close friends that were involved into mixing & production.

But It was untill 2011, when he began gathering up with some nearby resident Dj's to blend & master mixing techniques, which would later lead him into sharing his musical taste with the world.

His style puzzles up into a combination of Dub, Acid, House & Deep Techno, since his musical orientation comes from exceptional dj's & producers such as:

Dixon, Carl Craig, Premiesku, Mano Le Tough, XDB, Kink, Ricardo Villalobos, Âme, Kevin Yost, Culoe de Song, Jimpster, Kenny Larkin, John Talabot, Davide Squillace, Ewan Pearson, Nuno Dos Santos, Henrik Schwarz, Barac, Roman Flugel and so many other great talents on the underground scene.
