@disfunctional_disco is coming in hot straight out of Copenhagen with an absolutely juicy mix full of grooves, with a whole bunch of cracking upcoming promos fresh for your ears.

********************
Good morning Lars 😊

➢ Tell us what song puts you in a good mood when you wake up in the morning?

 That varies immensely, its rarely anything electronic though, although i have been making a playlist lately, with old classics (in my opinion) with vocals, like Stimming - Close the curtains, Dapayk & Padberg - Island feat. Caro (Nôze Remix)… these really sets my mood at top level :). Or else its more traditional songs and can be anything from Norah Jones to radiohead and everything in between.

➢ Disfunctional Disco is a great name. Tell us the history about how it became your artist alias?

Uffff, that is an old story, to cut it short, we were sitting at an afterparty…..MANY MANY years ago, and in our godlike knowledge mode(as you know you achieve at afterparties), we were trying to redefine the term house music, and my best bid was, thats it basically started out as “Disfunctional Disco”, and it stuck ever since.

➢ You co-manage the label @sofa-beats-1 . Give one piece of advice you have learnt running Sofa Beats to someone who is looking to start their own music label?

DONT DO IT…hahaha, no im kidding. Be sure its not just a vanity project, you have to bring true value to yourself and the artist involved, and by that i mean, get involved, read about rights, royalities and all the boring legal stuff, be professional from the start, that is i think the most important thing…be professional from the start.

➢ Since the pandemic it has been difficult time for the music scene, how has it changed in Denmark and what do you think will be different when things return to a certain “normality”?

Its such a difficult question to answer, in copenhagen the clubs have suffered hard, and have been forced to look into fundraising etc. to survive, thats the biggest impact, that our clubscene is hit really hard, and to be honest its hard to say if they will survive at all. When society opens up(its happening now actually), im not sure we’ll see big changes to be honest, people will take the necessary precautions to get to a party, slowly the restrictions will fade to normal, Pirate parties will reign supreme in the beginning, but i think in a year or so, we will be back to were we were just before the pandemic.

➢ Lastly, regarding this mix you have done for us, can you tell us a little bit of your thought process behind choosing the tracks you chose?

Im spoiled in the promo department, so i always try to put in something i know few people have heard yet, i usually start to collect tracks 2-3 weeks prior to a podcast or mix, then i play around with the material, checking keys and transitions, then i usually get angry cause i think its sound like shit:)….then ill get a few more tracks, maybe even a classic tune, play around some more, until i dance around like a mania…then i know its there :)

It was a true honor to open the Playalchemist's intricately crafted pyramid on its debut at Burning Man. 
This incredible structure held space for an improvised spontaneous musical journey which became a unique sacred moment between the three of us, and every single participant in the extremely high energy crowd.
Thank you!

Be Svendsen & Unders b2b - Ft. Seth Schwarz @ Playalchemist Pyramid | Burning Man 2017

The tranquillity of Habitas Tulum gave me the opportunity to hunt for the peaceful tracks in my broad collection and follow flow on whatever felt good. A truly beautiful sunset evening of a memorable trip to Paradise. Much appreciation to Eduardo Castillo for bringing me out for my first Tulum experience. <3

Throughout my journey I've gotten LOST in quite a bit of unknown territories. Kyoto, Cinque Terre, at Sea, in my labyrinth depths of my mind, in and out of Love, chasing dream elephants, you name it. 

Recently though I came across a deep and dark jungle. I was alone, unsure where or how to navigate through it, and then.... all of a sudden.... this cool ape appeared before me and offered his guidance. 

Follow me through the jungle with my first LOST guest mixer and our jungle guide, Lar Gibbons.

Despite the increased commercialism and popularity of Tulum, the magic does indeed still exist there, especially on the beach.  We certainly felt the energy during our Sol Selectas showcase, and the 5 days that followed, taking in the sunshine and positive vibes  this sacred land provides, to those who stop to be present, and listen.  I hope you will enjoy this 2nd chapter into deep tropical balearic grooves, crafted with relaxation intentions, hoping to cause inner peace and outer smiles. ~ Sabo
