1. Thank you for the amazing mix! We heard quite a lot of great new music in your mix and wanted to ask, what are your biggest influences?

Thank you, I‘m glad you like it. My biggest influences as a DJ are definitely clubs I went to and their DJs, that is Stammheim / Kassel with the late great DJ Pierre, Robert Johnson / Offenbach with a lot of underrated boss DJs like Thomas Hammann, Paul David Rollmann and (the of course well known but imho mis-categorized) Ricardo Villalobos. And then Panoramabar obviously with Ryan Elliott, Oracy and my personal hero Boris. 

I gotta say though that this mix does not contain anything new. It entirely consists of Disco tunes from 1976…1980 that are unavailable in digital form and will not be picked up by Shazam. This music would be lost if no one would play it out on vinyl. It's really the aura of a good Club and a dj that understands, nurtures and boosts it that is my biggest influence. That's the essence of a Club. The spirit!


2. Considering your incredible collection, how do you go about the digging process? Is there a particular way you find and organize your records?

I developed various ways of digging. Maybe the most important one is listening to old DJ sets from clubs and DJs I like and pick out the gemstones that really shine. I stopped going to record stores to be frank. The “Discogs pricing scheme” prevents you from making any lucky finds. Some stores wouldn’t even price or clean records so in fact you’re doing their job.

Another digging mode is just digging through my own collection. There’s so much stuff I’ve never played, some I’ve never even listened to, so there’s always a surprise round the corner…

Last thing is, I copy a lot. If one of my guest DJs plays a bomb, I never hesitate to adopt this tune. Most music enthusiast DJs do this. For many of my favorite tunes I remember whom I heard playing this first!


3. We’ve been a big fan of your “Smile For A While” label, with superb releases by Move D, DJ Duke and more, and were wondering, how did that get started?

in 2013 me and a friend heard a lot of nice house tunes on bandcamp that friends of ours from Frankfurt did. There was no way though they could get through to the well known local labels like Perlon, LARJ, etc. Thus we decided to put two four trackers out by ourselves. The rest came just naturally over the years.

Radio On Vacation with Ariane V

Ariane V is a sucker for an infectious house cut. Not your regular "monotonous doof doof" as she calls it, we're talking the kind of house music that'll keep your energy levels high and your bodies moving from the get go. 

The Czech-born, London-based DJ has come up through the ranks as part of Common Ground (FKA Rhythm Sister), a DJ collective who platform, support and promote womxn, non-binary and trans artists.

Thanks to her refined tastes, which you can hear on her monthly radio show on South London's Balamii, individually she's been picking up regular slots across London and the UK, with an upcoming debut overseas in Slovakia soon.

Best listened to as a little Friday night sonic pre-amble or to soundtrack your home cooking, Ariane's Shine A Light offering is an hour and a half journey through laidback jams, cosmic chuggers, uplifting vocal house and driving progressive cuts, with a couple of tracks from her native Czech Republic thrown in the mix.

„Mąstant apie artėjantį gimtadienį, mintis buvo tarsi padaryti įžangą į klubinę naktį, perteikti, kad esame nusiteikę rimtai pašokti. Įrašas savaime gavosi tai, ką galima būtų pavadinti warm up setu. Proga visgi rimta, beveik du dešimtmečius gyvuojantis reiškinys yra vertas nekuklaus paminėjimo. Taip ir padarysim. Linkėjimai visai Minimal  bendruomenei!”, — pasakoja Tunyla. Su viskuo sutinkam.

  ‘Thinking about the upcoming birthday, the idea was to make an introduction to a club night which conveys that  we are ready to dance seriously. Therefore the recording turned out like a real warm-up set. After all the occasion is quite big, a series that has been alive for almost two decades is worth celebrating properly. So let's do it. Congratulations to the entire Minimal community!’ - says @tunyla and we second all the above.
