BBC R1 Essential Mix [October 2023]

Interview: https://mixmag.net/feature/paga-nugs-impact-mix-dj-interview

@papanugs shares an energetic mix and speaks about lockdown production experiments and changing up his style with trance, progressive and hard house influences

"This mix is 90% my own productions and 10% forthcoming Suckerpunch from some other stuff we’ve signed, it was fun checking where the blends would fit and which were in key. Mostly things from me and three or four tunes from the label, showcasing new and unreleased stuff with a few of the old songs I can still play in my sets today and represents the sound I’m playing now, the trancey, proggy, hard house sound; there’s so much energy in it man! I went to this party in Berlin called Fandango, and everyone wasn’t stood around waiting for a drop, everyone was just constantly dancing, the reaction reaches all of the way through with those subtle changes.

I love finding those sounds from the old school stuff, you know, big stabby square waves and weird acid lines that find a way to fit together somehow, simple drums that pop out of the mix – then those hard groove and hip house influences from pulling hip hop vocal samples.

I’d spent so much time with bass music that it was something I’d never even seen before, it fascinated me. I used to think techno and trance was “duff, duff, duff,” very simple, not much changing. But you find those gems, so much groove and intricacies in the drums and the way it winds together. There are gems in every genre but that really opened the door to something else, something I like a lot more.

That’s the thing, you might hate a genre until you hear the masters of a genre, you might hate house until you hear one of Dr Banana or The Ghost’s sets, or you think you hate drum 'n' bass until you hear dBridge – there are gems in everywhere.

For me, this trance sound has the speed of breaks and garage, the four-by-four hypnotic pattern of house and techno, it has the vocal chops from other bits — a mash up of so many things that I love."
