1. We absolutely loved your mix! May we ask what your main inspirations are and started collecting and playing music? 

So happy that you loved it! There were two occasions where I had a musical experience that completely blew my little mind. The first one: I heard Kraftwerk’s ‘The Man Machine’. I’d gotten it as a birthday present from my Aunt on my 13th birthday, she’d gifted it to me on the promise “This will change your life.” It actually really did. My Mom had a really thumping stereo system at the time and I remember so clearly just sitting in the middle of our living room, on the floor, being totally annihilated by sounds I’d never heard before. Every music-obsessive has one of these spark-to-gasoline moments that ignites a flame in you, and this was mine. I instantly bought everything they’d ever made and indoctrinated myself with synthesizers. 1978 had never sounded so new, but also never further away. I honestly just stopped consuming anything new. This kick started a so far life-long obsession with digging for music. I was constantly searching for similar music. Eventually I got really into early electronics and minimal wave, which then led to Italo-disco of course, and suddenly and quite by coincidence hit a wall that changed everything again for me: disco and the beginnings of house music.

Interview snippet:
- We listened to your set during a Friday in Mid-July while it was raining by a low 20 degrees. When recording this delight, what kind of scenery did you have in mind for you & for the listeners?

I recorded this on a sunny Sunday afternoon into the evening and wanted to convey a warm and serene feeling as I was dreaming of an upcoming trip to the Italian coast. 

- We have been served here with an eclectic palette of genres & groove - how do you dig your tracks in general?

I love all kinds of music and am always looking for new and interesting stuff that I can draw from for whatever I need for the moment. I try to keep it simple and play what I am currently enjoying or feeling at that moment. I also love focusing on one particular style or sound as well sometimes for my radio show on Refuge Worldwide or for gigs. I really enjoy the flexibility to be able to share a wide range of music I enjoy with people whether it's an eclectic mix or one style. I don't believe any artist should be pigeonholed to one style even if that's what they're known for, I think everyone is free to express themselves how they see fit. 

- What is the most important message that you like to convey in your sets? 

I want to convey an unpredictable but fun and easy going vibe with a variety of moods and sounds where anything could be played. I want people to have fun, to hear lots of different styles of music and to be pleasantly surprised about what they hear.

1. What an amazing mix, thank you so much for that! May we ask how your journey into jazz began?
I definitely grew up listening to a great deal of jazz and classical music: my grandma would have WQXR, NYC's classical music radio station, on at all times in the kitchen; and my mother would go from one Thelonius Monk album to the next in the living room. So I've always been passionate about jazz, even more so when I found out my grandfather -who passed away before I was born, was the biggest jazz fan. His favorite track was Glenn Miller's Moonlight Serenade, which will always hold a special place in my heart. I truly feel like jazz is the one genre capable of making you dance, weep, smile and swoon all in the span of one track.


2. How do you go about discovering new music?
I definitely go through phases: I'll listen to the same mix or playlist for a few consecutive weeks until I'm sick of it and forced to have an intense digging week -which usually involves around 90 open tabs at once at 3AM. I mostly find music through bandcamp, soundcloud, youtube -my personal favorite, and, when i'm lucky, I just wake up to an email from a friend sending me new tracks.


3. What are your thoughts on covers of tracks? We heard a cover we couldn't ID and would be curious to hear how you feel about them!
I absolutely adore covers ahah When I was a teenager, I got obsessed with this music collective called Postmodern Jukebox, that would make jazz covers of top pop hits -a 1950's Doo Wop cover of Miley Cyrus' We Can't Stop or a 1920's Gatsby style cover of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance... I've always found it fascinating when an artist is able to reinterpret a classic in a completely different tone or genre. I would even go as far as to say that a lot of hits we listen to today are actually covers of the original tracks; and especially in jazz, the most known versions of standards are almost always reinterpretations of the original compositions.

We're happy to present our 24th mix by the Berlin-based DJ Planet 8, with elements of dub, disco, future jazz and more.

 1. We heard quite a deep dub influence in the mix, where does that inspiration come from?

For me, dub reflects an aesthetic approach that I like and strive to hear in my mixes. I am also fascinated by the influence that certain production techniques related to dub music had on various dance music genres, making them - in my opinion - more pleasing and interesting.

2. How do you go about digging new music?

I have a meticulous way of wading through obscure labels and artists on discogs.com, hopping from link to link to link (the research process being probably at least partly influenced by my training as a social scientist). Apart from that, I use Soundcloud and Instagram to keep track of current releases. Then I also like to dig for actual records in actual stores, especially when I’m visiting new places.

3. What is your relationship to disco and hip hop? There were a few superb selections we really enjoyed! Thanks for the great mix!

I used to produce hiphop instrumentals for my rapping friends as a teenager, making extensive use of sampling. This, in turn, led me to dig first into jazz, then soul, then funk, and finally disco music. Naturally, my first DJ sets were composed of the more dance-y tunes of these genres. From there, house music wasn’t far. What has always striked me about house - and what I am still looking for in the genre - is a specific approach that reminds me of hiphop: raw, organic, sometimes rough, yet subtle and reduced, combined with a DIY-aesthetic.

Thank you guys so much for the sweet words and the opportunity to showcase some of the music I like!

We're delighted to present our latest mix and interview by Berlin-based musical explorer and radio show host Funky Fasching! A velvety smooth and soft mix to transport you to a sweeter place for an hour.

For the full interview, check our substack: 

Here is a snippet of the interview:

1) Some very lush strings, chords & saxos delighting our senses all the way through - could you guide us through your thought process while you selected your tracks?

I wanted to make a sweet and sensual mix and thought of a soft pink cloud that takes you away from the freezing cold and gray Berlin winter for an hour.
The trickiest part for me was to find a strong and meaningful opener that would also work as a headline for the whole mix. At first, I had a completely different track in mind. But then I threw all my plans overboard after discovering this great UK underground soul compilation "Just a Touch", which was recently released on the Athens of the North label. When I heard "Passion" by Taffy for the first time, I immediately knew and felt: This is it! It also asks this great and important question: "What would we do without passion?", which invites you to think about who or what makes your life special and what passion means to you personally. After the first track was set, I digged some balearic and r&b records from the mid 80s to early 90s, but also some dream pop and indie pieces with a similar smooth and breezy vibe that fit into the whole mood. And so one thing led to another.

Kléo's first outing on her new born label Call4Rhythm is a mind dazing invitation to let go and sense the raw, the rough. As much as it’s an authentic yet rugged dance floor affair, it guards the spirit and virtue of honesty. Elements which have been the backbone throughout every form of art she has shared over the years. 

Dial 1 for ‘Deep Agogo’ sets off nostalgically, lingering keys remind of long gone days while menacing lines of acid make their way through the surface to ease in between robust percussive beats.

1: When you play live - what is your fav' set length to express yourself? And why?

Actually as long as possible, time is flying while playing - and that enables me to share as much music as possible. 

 

2: We found two times a winning trio of "Arabian Nights -> Balearic Sunsets -> Breaks" moods/genres. First time at the intro and then from 36mins onwards.
Is that something planned? What are your thoughts about it? 

Really appreciate the careful listening here! The mix is an interpretation of Disco, only playing music from the 80s and 90s, for me THE time in electronic dance music so far. As Disco and Synth Pop were transforming into tripping 90s dance music, you find similarities everywhere! And I wanted to bring flavors from this whole story into the mix. Selecting the tracks was also strongly connected to their tempo and of course to have a certain vibe and VARIETY, which apparently created this mixture and chronology that you are mentioning.

3: Summer is approaching - what are your plans music-wise for 2024?

I never before had more time to associate myself with music, so I also get influenced stronger and find and understand more music than ever before – definitively want to keep up with that! 
Also some things already popping up around here and even in France...aswell as we are planning our next dancemusic event of our Don’t Rush On A Wonk radioshow … so stay tuned :-)

Louf is an artist we've long cherished, and we've been lucky enough to work closely with his label https://soundcloud.com/valbyrotarylabel which he co-runs with https://soundcloud.com/tomvalbyrotary. You would be seriously amiss if you hadn't checked out their offering, and the man in questions own contribution to it. Think stripped back, emotionally driven dancefloor juggernauts, with a side edge of cerebral zest.

It's with that same Mantra than Louf approaches this mix. Starting off slow, this electronic dreamscape soon turns into something more steely. Expect the warm sensation at the back of your neck to grow, driven by the desire to dance and introspect, all at the same time.

Our next mix comes from good friend and collaborator Milo Eastwood. Milo is an important fixture in the local music scene as the host of The Breakfast Spread on PBS, an events curator with Love Sensation and as an infectiously fun DJ. While having an in-depth and diverse musical library, he’s not afraid of throwing in crowd pleasers. 

Here’s a little message from Milo about his mix:

“Usually behind the decks I'm deep in the sunshine zone of house, pop & disco, but there are always tracks in the back of my mind that are slightly on the moodier/heavier side I’m always keen to slip in when people least expect it. It was great to focus purely on that energy when preparing this mix.

I can’t wait to get out there after the pandemic blows over and continue to improve my skills within this area of dance music. Some of these tracks have been in my library for 9 or 10 years yet I’ve never unleashed on a dance floor before! I hope you enjoy listening to this mix just as much as I did recording it."
