great selection of music - very deep, very inspiring!

@vio-deejay what is this beautiful track?

"I just got a bit inspired and had a free day.. so got very quickly into the vibe of imagining a chill summer night with friends and good drops in the glass :) .. ..so this is all about breezy bubbly and easy funky pleasures in the good life. Indulgent ambient, funky pop, wave and a bit of Japanese vibes. Even threw in some decadence with the master of just that, Serge Gainsbourg, in the end hehe.” - @telephones

DREAM ON W Lloyd @ The Lot Radio 10 - 20 - 2021

The 43rd mix comes from Vio DJ (@vio-deejay)and is a rather melancholic one, perfect for the current short autumn days. Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Curtis, welcome aboard. What have you been up to lately?

VD: Thanks guys, happy to be a part of the series. I’ve been living in Berlin for ten years now and collecting records for about fifteen. I feel like my interests are constantly changing, but I always come back to records. Lately I’ve been reading a lot and spending more time in museums. I’m growing to appreciate the common thread between things and the way my interests intersect.

MFM: How are you connected to the Berlin music scene? 

VD: I used to throw parties in a space that’s future is now sort of uncertain. I would say I met most of my music friends there. I’ve also worked in music most of my life and am currently taking of the shop at ‘Record Culture Magazine’.

MFM: Do you think Berlin is still an interesting and healthy place for music and culture in general?

VD: Good question. I recently read that Berlin has experienced the sharpest increase in rent over the last five years (42% between 2016 and 2021) of all major European cities. This has lead to a sort of cultural homogeny that has largely erased the city’s distinctive character. That said, we still have an amazing sense of community here, where everyone involved in music supports each other; attending each other’s parties, buying each other’s records and generally just hanging out.

MFM: Word on the street is that you're a great digger. What does that mean to you? 

VD: Haha, my reputation precedes me, thanks! I think since letting go a little I’ve realised that the medium is far less important than the way in which it’s presented. Outside of my interest in collecting second hand records, there is a whole world of other types of music that I love. The stuff I listen to at home or on the bus is often completely different to the stuff I play out. I think blurring those lines can reveal a certain truth in what you do, it’s a purer form of expression.

MFM: What does collecting records mean to you these days?

VD: I have to say, almost none of the records I buy can be played (easily) in a club. For a long time, I was buying music almost exclusively for mixes, which is a habit I’m happy to have broken. Now I will only buy things that can’t be heard beyond the format, as well as the occasional LP for home listening.

MFM: Rumour has it that you've got a knack for organising your records :) What is that all about?

VD: Haha, yeah. So last year, during a year-long sabbatical courtesy of the German state, I decided to start a small web store. I wanted the records I was selling to be presentable for home visits and got tired of never being able to find where anything was. I built a shelving unit that could hold the weight, cut dividers and labelled them and found 12-inch-wide crates to sort the records. Everything is now upright and browsable by genre. 

MFM: How do you find new records? Do you have your secret or not so secret methods?

VD: Nowadays I just go to the shop and listen to things that catch my eye. I used to obsess over how ‘known’ stuff was but now I’m mostly not bothered. I see records as a curiosity; those with an interesting back story or aesthetic quirk are always the nicest to own. This is usually what I look for when I’m in the store. The rest always works itself out.

MFM: So, please tell us about your mix! Is there a story behind it? 

VD: It’s for anyone who struggles with the shorter days. Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere always has me feeling pretty melancholic, and I wanted the mix to reflect that. It’s something that you might listen to as it gets dark at 4pm.

Mutual Mix #34 is by the local hero Ørjan Sletner a.k.a. Goggen Grøftefyll a.k.a. @kompressorkanonen – one of Norway's absolute best DJ's and biggest collectors of electronic music. 

Here's some words about the mix from the man himself:

"This mix is a reminiscence about the bar/music venue/hangout spot Oslovelo, where I played several times over the years before it closed down permanently in October 2024. The gig that turned out to be my last one there was a little over a month before they unexpectedly went out of business. When I came home after that gig I thought I’d make a mix with some of the records in my bag, as I thought they worked pretty well together. So I put them in a pile and planned to record the mix pretty soon thereafter. It only took six months… By the time I finally got round to do it, some records had been taken out of the pile, and others had been added. So it’s not a faithful reconstruction of what I played that night. But there was always a certain randomness to DJing at Velo anyway, you could play whatever you wanted, so I think this works just as well. What it sounds like? I guess you could call it house and deep house and ambient techno and quirky techno and dub techno and Detroit techno and a little bit of rave. I never claimed to be a purist. 

Hope you like it!"
