HOW I MET THE BASS is a project I started in 2015. I thought it was nice to ask artists about their roots. Music that changed their life and had a big impact on their later doings. So I built the series around friends and artists I respect to make a colored showcase between Techno and House music. That´s what it´s all about. Simply tracks from your youth and I´m happy to have so many great producer, DJs and live-acts telling so many great stories.

3 QUESTIONS to BETH LYDI:

Q: Tell us about your story please! How did you get in touch with music once and how did you get infected with electronic music? 

A: I chose to focus on tracks that represent my meeting with music in general. My very early influences were, as I think with everyone through my parents. The intro and another track in the mix is from Janet Jackson’s album "Velvet Rope”. The album tour was actually the first and last concert my mother brought me to before she died, so there is a lot of appreciation towards her connected with these songs. The last track is actually something that represents my first love for electronic music. As a teenie I was a die hard Gabba fan, and this track was on a CD I bought during this time, the Thunderdome Christmas edition. To be honest this was one of the few tracks from this era that I felt I could kind of use in this mix. The other ones sound, well, how do I put this... Rough? Haha. In between there are songs that carry many good memories and my journey through different genres. As you probably notice, Bar25 played a huge role in my discovery of my love for Berlin and the lifestyle, freedom and sound here.

Q: Most of the tracks you selected are sooo timeless. Do you still play them inside your DJ sets?

A: Every track in this mix represents a very distinct period of my life and good memories. Even before I became a DJ myself I loved discovering new music and in the times before Shazam I used to memorise vocals from tracks I liked on the dance floor and google them when I got home. That’s for instance how I found “Take Me Baby” by Jimi Tenor or “Snug Descent” from Channel X and Jake The Rapper. For tracks without vocals I listened through sets from the DJs I liked and tried to find them (hello "WLS Today" by Hennon). Some of the tracks I still play today for sure, but some I have mostly because of the memories.

Q: Which projects are you currently working on - so what can we expect from you soon?

A: Uh! Haha, I work on a lot of different stuff at the moment. Over the last year I made like 20 new tracks that I have been to lazy and/ or busy to get out there, but at the moment I am enjoying some quiet days in the mountains in Norway that are perfect for these kinds of things. But coming up first is the release of “Wine and Cheese”, a song I made with Andreas last year that will be released on our label SNOE. Also, I am very excited to have quite many shows already planned for the year! I think we all had quite the existential crisis during covid, so I am very thankful to be able to tour again across the globe. I will never take this for granted ever again!

Kleine Fragerunde:

Dein Genre/Sound
-Mix aus Tech-House, Melodic und Peak Time Techno – hauptsache Bass und nach vorne

Wo kommst du her?
-Aufgewachsen in Lüneburg (bin aber in Hannover geboren), in Berlin seit 10 Jahren - ich schreib meistens Berlin-based, da ich viel Zeit auch in anderen Ländern am Meer verbringe :)

Wie lange legst du schon auf?
-3 Jahre

Wie war dein Weg bisher?
-In Corona-Zeiten angefangen und Sets aufgenommen und bei Soundcloud hochgeladen, dadurch haben sich ein paar Podcasts und schließlich die ersten Gigs ergeben. Ich hab hauptsächlich in Berlin gespielt bisher, z.B. im Sisyphos, Mensch Meier, Renate oder Klunkerkranich :) 

Was ist dir an einem Safer Space wichtig?
-Feiern sollte für alle Menschen Spaß machen – niemand sollte hier Diskriminierung, Belästigung oder Gewalt erfahren. Safer Spaces fördern solche inklusive Umgebungen und vor allem auch das Sicherheitsgefühl im Feierkontext. In meiner Jugend hätte ich mir oft so einen geschützten Ort gewünscht - da waren Clubs noch lange nicht so weit. Und ganz wichtig: ein geschultes Personal, das nicht nur Zettel im Club aufhängt, sonder auch Präsenz zeigt und wirklich unterstützt.

Möchtest du gerne der Welt noch was sagen oder mitgeben?
-Ich habe lange nicht angefangen aufzulegen und lieber Spotify Playlists erstellt, weil ich dachte es ist SOO kompliziert. Gerade viele Männer (und auch die sehr männlich dominierte DJ-Welt) haben mir das Gefühl gegeben, es sei (technisch) vieel zu kompliziert. Ist es nicht! :D Ein Appell an alle FLINTA* es einfach zu auszuprobieren!

HOW I MET THE BASS is a concept series, founded and hosted by @marc-depulse. 

It's not about mixing the current charts - it's about your roots. A storyteller. Music from your childhood and youth that once had a big impact on your later doings, showing musicially how you got in touch with Electronic Music back in the days.

Marc tells about his project:

"Techno is a huge family. These are my experiences when I'm coming to different cities and places every weekend. Doesn't matter who you are and where you're coming from. It's about making friends and having a good time together. I have met so many interesting artists during the last 2 decades and all of them love to tell their own exciting story. So I'm inviting my favorite artists from time to time to mix their musicial roots within a podcast."
