He may dub himself as an "amateur (but enthusiastic) disc jockey and producer", but we happen to think that London's Will Hofbauer is selling himself a little short. 

He's been dipping his toes in all corners of the music industry. While day-to-day you can find him slinging out promos as part of PR agency Dispersion, his personal endeavours range from running his own label to producing for other top notch imprints and holding both radio and club residencies at Balamii and Co-Select respecively. 

At the helm of Third Place Records, the umbrella he also hosts his monthly Balamii show under, Will has welcomed artists who uphold a similar passion for nature-tinged, rhythm-driven sounds, including the likes of NC4K boss Stones Taro, Ranga and Sangre Voss, who's returned to the label for several outings. Of course Will's also put out his own material on the imprint, as well as contributing releases to Homage, Control Freak Recordings and Out Of Sorts.

We invited him on board for this week's Shine A Light On mix which sees him channeling his passion for drums and organic sounds.

Will Hofbauer: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

WHERE DID YOU VISUALISE YOURSELF WHEN PUTTING THIS MIX TOGETHER?
When selecting tunes for this mix, I found myself going back to my childhood. Taking some time to reflect, mixed with hazy memories of lazy afternoons playing frisbee and getting sunburnt in the heat. Moving up through the years to modern day, an afternoon with friends dancing until the sun fades but the smiles remain.

THE PLACE YOU’LL BE PLAYING THIS MIX AT THIS SUMMER?
Definitely somewhere with sand between my toes, and a cool beverage in-hand.

BEST TUNE/ALBUM TO BRING THE SUN OUT?
Mr. Fingers - Around The Sun EP (Vol. 1). House for the discerning.

SUNSHINE OR THE SHADE?
Shade, always.

ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?
Thanks for the opportunity to play some tunes in the sunshine. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did putting it together. Much love.
