Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

Hi, my name is Anton Sandholt (He/Him), I live in Copenhagen, have been here for 6 years now.

Fun fact... I have never smoked anything in my life.

How did you get your DJ name? 

I was in Amsterdam with my girlfriend at the time and had just been booked for my first gig in Copenhagen. I had to give them a DJ name and we somehow ended up with fruit as we thought it fit my music style at that time.

Who/what currently inspires your music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Tv and movies inspire my music taste a lot. I just realized recently that my most listened to songs and tracks where all from something i had watched lately.

Favorite sound of nature? Describe how it makes you feel.

Earlier this year I visited my sister and her bf at their farm in Iceland. I had the great experience of walking into a sheep-pen and hearing 150 sheep scream at the same time, it made me laugh.

Dream line-up?

Ok lets say we have a 500 person basement venue. No restrictions, a high budget but not unlimited. 8 hour timeframe. These are the artists i would book.

1998 Tiesto
2021 lns
2019 DJ Diesel (Shaquille O'Neal) (special guest appearance, 25min set)
2021 Volruptus (live)
2000 Alice DJ (live)
2021 Carlo & Selma 
1999 Percy X
2015 Paris Hilton

If you had to describe yourself as a fruit ;), what kind would you be and why?

I took a buzzfeed quiz to figure this out and i got raspberry. it said “raspberries are delicious but so dang delicate". I think that sums it up.

What is your favorite time of day?

Midnight during summer since the sun goes down really late here. In the winter it's the morning sunrise. 

Advice for being productive with music?

I do this thing of uploading every demo arrangement I make onto Soundcloud privately. So I have a nice archive of music on my private sc. i make a lot of demos so it helps me remember what i have made and gives me momentum to finish them.

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

My friend Vinnie just started DJing recently and I think she already has a really nice sound and is really good at making an interesting and diverse palette.

What was your first gig? How did it go? 

My first public DJ gig was a "beer night" for my school when I was a teenager. I played disco and 90s house there for about 5 hours. there wasn't much of a dance floor but there were a lot of requests for Beyonce, a few people had a really hard time understanding why I would not accept these requests. when I stopped playing, one of those people literally yelled "WORST DJ EVEEEEER".

Do you have any upcoming releases/gigs?

I have a new ep out this friday! it's called "gilgamesh" and it’s released on øen records. it's 2 tracks i made during the first lockdown while I was obsessing over the epic of gilgamesh. I gave myself a long time to finish this music so i'm really happy to see it out in the world now. we are doing a release party at øen this saturday, (with full capacity:o) hope to see you if you are in Copenhagen.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Now during covid I have experienced more cohesion than ever in my local dance community. That's something i've really appreciated and would like to see continue. Then I also think we need some more diversity in line-ups and management positions :-)

CLIMAX On Refuge Worldwide 009 - rrrkrta b2b ābnamā

An incredible hour of melodic trance, breaks and prog from Naarm/ Melbourne based Edge Worker DJ ( @james-tom ). The incredibly versatile and talented musician is known for his role as the keyboard player in @krakatau-melbourne. Here, he explores his Edge Worker side-project, showcasing an impressive and expansive array of rare trance records, and incredible mixing skills. 

Having stumbled upon James' Butter Sessions (Part 1 + 2) trance mixes during lockdown this year, his mixes made me yearn for the dance floors we have been bereft of for so much of the last two years. This mix is a very fitting way to enter 2022, channelling reborn dance floor energy. 

Thanks again for the mix James!

PE Radio with Byron Yeates

Well well well... Another year has passed by! 

So happy to end it up with a mix from this upcoming big artist from nyc. Mexican born, @AmeliaHolt is a resident at @publicrecordsnyc and a host at @movement-radio-athens. 

This mix was recorded in the legendary Good Room last month, and definitely takes you on a trip to other dimensions. House, breaks, IDM and beautiful baselines that surf trancy synths. Could imagine how sweaty that dancefloor should have been, so much rythm man...

Hyperterranean #009 with Sybil

Very happy that the newest Animix is presented by my dear friend, and very talented dj, Nat salih ( @nsalih ) . Nat is one of my favourite DJs in Naarm/Melbourne, and has been frequenting Melbourne dance floors for years with a constantly evolving and eternally impressive DJ style. Telling of the musically aligned nature of our friendship, we met at Labyrinth in Japan in 2016. 

Nat's mixes emanate warmth and electricity. Their style always dynamic and diverse. Nat is due to play at the launch party for the newest Animalia release at the end of this month. Hopefully one day soon we can finally do a b2b! Thanks again for this amazing mix Nat <3

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

very small danish village. berlin. i eat my snacks with chopsticks.

Describe the vibe of your ideal party? Space? Smell? Drinks? Anything you can think of ;)

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1361184453941195

Dream b2b? 

i am too caught up in narrating my set that b2b makes me nervous.

Ideal booth set up? 

2x ipod nano 3rd gen, 1x aux cable.

Guilty pleasure track?
maybe i like anime themes a bit too much.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4iVxzvTRFo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp6NcoEm8rE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8LfTCDIdEg

i also made a remix of this fanfic anthem that i am too embarrassed to upload.

Why do you think it's important to DJ? And/of why have you chosen to become a DJ? How long do you think you will keep it up?

to make up for the lack of fun and surprising music at parties. personally to soothe my ocd categorizing music and to justify hoarding tracks. a good dj set is like a public service.

Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation & you give me a track 

**Losing your virginity in 2040

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX44mI5beG4

**Washing your anxiety ridden cat 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE7DueL2QWA

** Track to make your roommate leave you alone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QBBv1_m_Tc

**1st track to celebrate the end of quarantine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7PQgfOhxmI (loud be careful)

Describe the best dj/live set you have seen this year? 

debby friday. lorem. caroline polachek or was that last year?

Most underrated artist at the moment?

ana caprix 😌 

What is your prediction on the next music genre re-vamp 2020?

vocals even more pitched. even more shattered glass. best shattered glass is on kate bush “babooshka”. or even better on “mother stands for comfort”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESRpQurzJsg

Describe the vibe of your first DJ set?

playing on an ironing board placed on a shopping cart in a tunnel for drunk teens.

Describe what you would want your rider to look like as a DJ all star playing Ibiza…

just plane tickets for all my friends. google “ku club ibiza” and check out the dj on the platform over the pool.

Describe the first moment where you had an epiphany about your love for music?

being a kid playing mars volta on my guitar instead of going to school. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE1hX2Kkf9k

Any advice about what to do with free time during this moment of social distancing?

be weary of the establishment. new models podcast.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?
could be less immersive and more entertaining.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j29QbK6vRw

Advice to beginning djs?

do something trashy it tends to get done faster and come out more genuine.
