SPOKEN102 - Stroef

For the next edition of the mix series, we have the Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Stroef. In 2002, he bought his first two decks, and since 2005 he has been mixing with three turntables ever since. His mixing style can be described as fast and progressive.

His primary influences are Jeff Mills' legendary Tokyo Liquidroom 1995 set and Surgeon's Force + Form album. Later on, harder techno sets like High Heel Techno by Dylan Drazen, but also his more deep house-oriented sets like Carry On and Caught in the Act, showed him he wanted to play different kinds of techno, from Detroit to dub techno and electro.

Through his label Boomstraat 1818, he pushes meticulously crafted and Detroit-schooled productions from himself and his friends. A label that is worth a proper dig to find stripped-back tools and hypnotising floaters.

His mix is an energetic journey, switching up intensity using three turntables and Traktor, with classic records and some unreleased material.

Enjoy!

They believe this "hard rain" will eventually transform into a hot spring.

Drawing from diverse cultural influences and his unique journey, Sonny is skilled in detailed sound design, using high-frequency molecules and natural elements. His sets sometimes create connections with people and other times provide an escape from reality, captivating their senses and strive to accurately lifting the dancefloor to a higher state.He believes that good music makes people want to keep dancing, losing track of time and the surrounding environment.

Through these diverse activities, Sonny Sun continues to make significant contributions to the electronic music scene.
