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 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.

Shadow Child - HOW I MET THE BASS #183

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."
