"The reason I make the records I make is mostly to play them in my DJ sets," Belgian-born DJ Gratts tells 5 Mag in this issue's interview. 

"That doesn't mean they need to be dancefloor tracks. I play a lot of slower, mellower, weirder, deeper stuff out."

"I am obsessed with tracks that work in different environments. That is true class to me: music that works in a club but that also has enough depth to be played on the radio or in a bar."

Gratts' cover mix is "a mixed bag of tracks I've been playing lately. A couple of bits of my own thrown in for good measure. Some CD digs. Some double copy action. The last track of the mix is a bit of an oddball '80s Aussie jam I've been playing.

"This is very much what it would sound like if you hear me play."

alyrik - Mmamma 
Above The Bridge [LR-2853257 / alyrik]

Produced by Kiryl Anokhin aka alyrik
Mastered by Alex at quiet details studios
Artwork by Kryscina Karbouskaya
Released by alyrik (Self-release) from Wrocław, Poland
Release Date: August 29th, 2025

The EP features 5 ambient compositions: 4 new tracks and 1 remastered track originally recorded in 2009. “Mmamma” is a very personal piece. Its first name was “The Last Portal”, which actually has two meanings: is it the “last” before something or the “last” after everything? Who knows…

This was the audio used for my final MA project, as it was given as a live performance. I am planning to rework some of these tracks to work better as an album listen.
