Dipping into warmer waters with the Life Classics mood masters tapped into a soul defining well of exquisite late 90s and early 00s house music. Dreamy, techy, jazzy, groovy, this one has it all. 

Deep house at its absolute finest.

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time/place in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. We’ve always had our heads locked into the deeper shades of house from the late 90’s to early 00’s, in particular those nostalgic tracks that tap into that spacey special place. The mix is shaped around a bunch of records that resonate that feeling for us, a nod to those dance floor dreamers found late into the night with stars in their eyes.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your hearts, or old favourites that you’ve been keeping up your sleeves for the right moment?

A. The opening track is from Ronin's Night Grooves EP. A firm favourite of ours that we've kept on rotation over the years. And also the last track from Aurora Borealis on FNAC, this one has been on the shelf for long minute, but don't often play it out so it felt right letting it run here.

Q. What’s the latest with your Life Classics parties in Berlin? Do you have some fun nights planned at OHM once again this year, and who have been some of the guests that have blown your minds in recent years, and why?

A. We just had a banging start to another year's residency a couple of weeks back with Telephones. Next month we've got Antal coming through again, he has been a staple of our nights since the A.S.E days and it's always a wild one. Red Greg was definitely a recent highlight, treated us all to a master class deep into the wee hours.

Kamome brings his unique and playful musical stylings to the table for the latest episode with a mix as deep and immersive as it is quirky and acid-groovy, primed for late night smoky dancefloor indulgence!

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, time or place that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. The inspiration for this mix comes from my upcoming one year of being in Australia, and I created it with the hope that the local people will get to know me. As a Japanese person, this mix is largely composed with sounds from the Japanese community and those of my seniors and friends.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. All the tracks in this mix by Chida, Keigo Okazaki, Daichi, Yamarchy, ifax!, Dj Himitsu, and KEITA SANO are important to me, but the one that stands out the most is the debut track "Got to be real" by DAICHI & Yamarchy, which will be released at the end of August. This edit seems to be a re-edit of a past track from the label Clue-L, run by Kenji Takimi.

Q. I know you’ve featured some incredible unreleased Japanese records in this mix! What Japanese artists/labels are responsible for some of your favourite sounds of late, and who should we be watching out for?

A. An artist I'm keeping an eye on is DAICHI, a member of my collective "Vinyl Youth." His recent release from MM Disco, based in Berlin and Barcelona, is still fresh in my memory, and I can't wait for what's next !

An artist to watch is KEITA SANO, and although not Japanese, Lunatic Music, based here in Melbourne, is also noteworthy. Keita is like an older brother to me :) and he releases works in a unique style at an incredible pace. (He has released five works this year alone.) 

Bart and Jack, who run Lunatic Music, have been invaluable friends since I came to Melbourne. Their label features Japanese artists, and all their releases are excellent. Be sure to check them out!
