I remember listening to this song on my walkman in like 1993 on my way to secondary school back in Novi Sad, Serbia...I loved this synth, the chill out melody but didn't have a clue what this West and East End was all about. Today, when I am a Londoner, this song makes much more sense :) Nice mix, as always, Simon.

3 QUESTIONS to SHIR KHAN:

Q: Let's get into the mood for your mix. What did these tracks mean to you once?

A: Every single track in this mix means pretty much everything to me. It sums up 100% what I used to play in Berlin - in the year 2003 & 2005 & 2007. I played each of these tracks a million times probably back then:) The first 2 hours were mixed on Vinyl. It’s a mix of Rap, Dope Beats, Soul & Funk, Nu-Jazz, Electroclash, Indie Dance, Disco Rock, Aristocratic Booty Beats, B-More, Mash-Ups, Favela Funk, Post Cash Pop & Pre-Madonna, Low-End, Hiptronica, Dubstep, Jungle. I am still realizing how much these records mean to me (even if some of them are very cheesy but HEY so much fun!)  than those billions of MP3s I carry around in my USB stick now. 

Q: How did you follow the development of electronic music the past decades?

A: I used to be a Hip Hop DJ in the middle / late 1990ies but got quickly bored with just playing one style. I bought records from various genres. I went in tons of different Vinyl stores in Berlin and was always looking for the perfect beat - no matter what genre and then try to mix it up and present my music history / background to the audience. I later started ordering some Vinyl in Manchester via Picadilly Records - I guess around 2004. They were early on with the Indie Dance sound which seems to be popular in these days again. Via Broken Beats, UK Garage, Disco & Indie Dance I  got more into House / Deep House / Acid and a bit of Techno (the good one - not the bad one) later. I used to have a weekly 2 hour radio show on Radio Fritz in Berlin/Potsdam - from 2008 until 2016 - I always covered lots of different dance genres. Anything was possible and still is for me these days.

Q: Which future Shir Khan projects are currently on the way - so: What's coming next?

A: Gonna release a new Black Jukebox edition in September. Black Jukebox is my Disco House Vinyl Series. Go and have a look for: Shir Khan Presents Black Jukebox 32. It’s hot! Besides that I am keeping busy with my label Exploited and also focus on some new projects here in Asia. Living in Bangkok since some years now and currently enjoying island life on Koh Phangan, Thailand. Sadly we are still in sort of a lockdown - but I am trying to stay optimistic & focused meanwhile.

3 QUESTIONS to SHADOW CHILD:

Q: Thanks a lot for your great storyteller. What do these tracks still mean to you today?

A: You’re welcome. These tracks in the mixtape are my roots. There’s loads more too but these records really helped to guide me to where I am at this moment. They take me back to my youth obviously, but each one is a special cog in 'my wheel'.

Q: You've been busy recently with the new Apollo release series on Electronic Elements. Tell us more about please!

A: Sure - I found myself experimenting with sounds that were new to me, although not to others. I love channeling the past into my music, and decided to see this as a project where I could play with the vibe from the mid-90’s melodic techno sound. Pre-Trance as we know it today. It’s funny as it’s miles from what I started out with as Shadow Child, but I’ve loved every second of this project so far and we’re only half way through.

Q: When looking into the future, what can we expect from you and how do you see the development of electronic music after Corona?

A: I’m a studio guy number 1, but I still love doing too, and I miss it massively. I don’t know if we’ll have a future in this industry like we had though, so I’m fortunate that making music is my number 1 thing. I have several projects on the go alongside Shadow Child. Polymod is another that is exciting too. I’ll always be making music, whether it propels me into a space where I'm a busy touring DJ or not. I think the future for electronic music can be exciting, although at the moment it’s sad and scary for a lot of businesses in the industry, some of which are already lost. I believe creatively, it will be an exciting time ahead though.

🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯

Unser Künstlerleben quasi ist komplett eingefroren. Wir hatten übers Jahr zwei Gigs. Die haben wir sonst mindestens pro Monat. Es ging halt nichts. Zum Glück sind wir davon finanziell nicht abhängig, weil wir eigentlich andere Dinge machen, um unseren Lebensunterhalt einzufahren. Ich würde da mit jenen, die mit dem Auflegen ihr Leben finanziell meistern, nicht tauschen wollen. Und dennoch fehlt das. Nicht nur finanziell, vor allem eher soziokulturell. Die gemeinsame Eskalation, das Ausrasten, die kollektive Ekstase. Das sind ja auch Gründe, warum wir das, was wir da machen, so lieben - und das war halt ab März einfach mal so weg. Gänzlich. Das fehlt nicht wenig. Und dennoch sind die Maßnahmen natürlich notwendig und auch richtig. Das ist vielleicht das größte Dilemma an all dem - man kann das nicht mal irgendwem übelnehmen oder seinen Ärger auf irgendwen projizieren. Weil es ist wie es ist und weil es genau so sein muss.

Und wir konnten aufgrund der vielen freien Zeit endlich mal unser Album fertigmachen, das nun Ende Dezember erscheinen wird. Einer der wenigen Vorteile.

🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei? 🗯🗯

Wir haben beide ein bisschen die Schnauze voll von unseren Soundcloud-Streams. Seit Monaten nur noch Bummelschneckentechno auf allen Kanälen. Nicht selten sehr uninspiriert, sehr lame. Ich kann es, bis auf wenige und doch gute Ausnahmen, nicht mehr hören. Also dachten wir so, „lass mal das  Bums-Zeug von früher spielen. Das kennen doch die ganzen jungen Leute ja gar nicht nicht mehr!“ Und so war das. Dann  ballerten wir im Studio die Monitore fast auf Anschlag, machten die Fenster auf (weil Rudi  unbedingt beim Auflegen im Studio rauchen wollte und da wird halt eigentlich nicht drin geraucht) und dachten, dass irgendwer der Nachbarn die Bullen rufen würde. Was keiner tat. Wir tranken viel zu viel Schnaps, Rudi kam irgendwann mit Sekt um die Ecke und ging erst gegen 04:30. Es ist mal wieder alles komplett eskaliert - und wir lieben das. Das Studio stinkt immer noch wie eine Berliner Raucherpinte zu Beginn der 90er Jahre. Aber das war das den Abend wert.

🗯🗯 Was wünscht du dir für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯

Gigs, Festivals, Meeresrausch, gemeinsame Eskalation, das Ausrasten, die kollektive Ekstase. Und Pyros.

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."
