Guest Mix 001 w/ Miraa (Step Aside)

Condensing a whole nights worth of music into magic mix number thirty nine in just over an hour is Cam Hildebrandt. @camhildebrandt

It would seem that quality deejays grow on trees in Canada considering how many top mixes we've had on the page from the neck of the woods and this one's no different. We always keep a eye open for Cam's uploads on his YouTube page where he shares all sorts of unknown top quality fodder. Link below.

Here he starts slow, moving from rare groove with lovers rock and street soul in between before building up towards disco and house and then back down again. It's a joy to listen to! Dive in and enjoy :)

Guest mix by @mirrens

All the way from Down Under, Melbourne we have Mirren as the next guest. He won our attention through his outstanding s/t Youtube Channel. Luckily for all of us this quality doesn’t stop here as he transmits it perfectly into mixing skills.
Anything but self-promoting, he prefers to let the music speak for itself. So let’s take some time and listen to this nearly two hour mix full of unhurried heaters.

For any content questions just leave a comment with mirren marked.

INTERVIEW WITH SFDM

Q: How did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

Hello boys, thanks for having us! Usually when we prepare a regular mix (with no "theme" or such) we try to be as wide as possible in terms of genre. we like our mixes to be something fluid and natural , evolving from track to track into a different mood or kind of sound,  from downtempo to uptempo (and sometimes back)
So our scheme usually is like this: we choose a bunch or records to create the spine of the mix and then adjust by substituting or adding other tracks until we reach the point when we enjoy playing it without having the feel "oh i miss something here". 
We are happy with the final result of this mix , hope listeners will enjoy the ride too!

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

We have a  strong bond with a lot of records we play, some have a story, many others don't. Most of the time is about feelings that records is capable of  giving to us. This mix has the peculiarity of containing few finds from "quarantine online digging" which is something we could never imagine to experience in our like (i mean the quarantine part). One of these special one is Madeleine Uzho - Satisfied. no better medicine to cheer up a day of lockdown that finding a good record like that for cheap.

Q: Do you have a special digging process and/or what kind of things do you look for in a record when you’re out digging?

We have no science behind this, when we go crate digging we try to look for different elements  that catches our attention like label, musicians involved, date, sometimes just artwork or logo. the step after is searching for a reference on YT or SC in case there's no record player at disposal (we do enjoy a lot flea markets so sometimes is just blind buying!). Online things are easier because of search filters : )

Q: Is there a record, that has continued to be in your wantlist over the years?

There are a lot of records always in the wantlist. first one i recall is  Unique - Sankofa

Q: Music bonds people together. Any local heros/parties you would like to shout out? 

We would like to shout out to all the nice guys and crews in Milan we've met along the road, especially Eternal Love, Luca from Rocket Radio and the crew of Polifonic for inviting us to play in their festival, unfortunately postponed to covid. we were so happy to be invited to play there, but who knows, maybe in the future we will! ; )
