Please meet London based DJ and producer, former Cafe Del Mar resident, and our long time close friend Phil Mison (@cantomamusic). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Phil, many know you as one of the DJ's who has played all the best sunset spots across the globe. How did your summer look this year, still been scoring sunsets here and there?

PM: My summer was great. I travelled to Amsterdam, Cork, Copenhagen and Barcelona and had some nice gigs in the UK. My friend Deke has opened a bar on the seafront in Margate, you get pretty epic sunsets down there. I played a few records one evening and managed to fit in a few old cafe classics as the sun disappeared into the sea. 

MFM: Please tell us a bit about how it all started for you?

PM: I grew up in the 70’s, so there were quite a few different influences. David Bowie ‘Life On Mars’ was an early memory, and I was obsessed with Blondie. Parallel lines was the first album I bought. Later it was Northern Soul, Electro, nothing really that mellow! In 87 I met a couple of people who were really into House. I started going to groove records in soho to buy records like Adonis - No Way Back, Ten City - Devotion. Then as 88 rolled around I got into the more Balearic side of things. Later in 89 I’d pop into Reckless Records for second hand stuff and started to browse the New Age section where I got things like Kitaro  ‘Tunhuang’ and Paul Greaver ‘Joy’. Those records were the starting point really. 

MFM: DJing in clubs to make people dance never really attracted you?

PM: I’d say pretty much most of my DJing has been in clubs. I started at the Milk Bar in Soho in 1992 after giving Darren Emerson a tape. Even though I was doing the warm up and playing mellow stuff at the beginning, you had to build it up to a full dance floor by the end. In 1996 and 2000 I was the tour DJ for Lefttfield, playing in front of 1000 odd people. ‘Just get it going before we come on!’ Alongside Ross Allen and Rob Da Bank, I was resident at Bar Rhumba for our Next Level night in 1997. It lasted a year and we opened with Harvey and closed with Andrew Weatherall. I Have to mention Moonboots and Jason Boardman’s night Aficionado too. I always enjoyed playing to a dancefloor there, they’ve kept the Balearic flag flying since 1998. 

MFM: At what point did you got into making music on your own? 

PM: I’d worked on a project for Kenneth Bager in 1994. Then later on he started his Music For Dreams Label, and asked me if I would be interested in making an album.  So the first Cantoma album was started in Copenhagen in 1999, and finished in London in 2003. 

MFM: How do you come up with a new song, is there a certain Phil Mison way to it? Do you write the parts for the musicians?

PM: It usually starts with an idea that pops into my head. Sometimes a memory or travelling will get a melody going, and I’ll sometimes hum it into my phone and use that as a starting point. Ive worked with Engineer/Producer Robin Twelftree on all the Cantoma albums. I’ll go into Robin’s studio and usually start with some basic keyboards, then I’ll play a bassline in. I’ll take the demos away and think about what would work on the tracks. For some musicians the music is written down. Ive worked with Robin Lee from Faze Action on a few Cantoma tunes, and he usually transcribes my basic melodies onto sheet music. Other times I’ll play the melodies on a keyboard or hum the tunes for the musicians to follow along to. On some tracks I’ll write the lyrics too and get a singer to record on a track. There’s a lot of going back and forth until I’m happy with the final cut. The music rarely ends up sounding like the first version.

MFM: Making a mix must have been a piece of cake for you :) What is this mix like?

PM: I went back through my 92-94 selection and picked a selection of the lesser played records. Memories of magic times at the Milk Bar and warm summer evenings at the Cafe del mar.

Music for Ears #17 - Balearic Banana 🇩🇪🇧🇷

HAND Mix featuring Berlin's Hendrik Stein :) a few words from the rock himself: 
"I’m Hendrik Stein. A DJ and record collector from Berlin who’s been around since a while now. You might have seen me playing in one of the countless clubs of the city or know me from our Past Forward-Shows on Cashmere Radio or the Ciao Amore Baci Parties which I run with my partner in music and life Frinda di Lanco. 
After my recent excursions into lush ambient and balearic soundscapes during the pandemic years, I felt it’s time to record something more danceable and this is how this mix happened. Since the clubs reopened last year I had some chances to play some more electronic sets in some bigger venues and so I rediscovered some older Freestyle and Hip-House records, which I almost forgot about. After digging mostly meditative and laid-back organic stuff during the corona-years this was a quite relieving experience. So recently I developed some kind of obsession for more danceable Belgian and French synth-pop from the late 80’s and latin-infused House and Italo which really blew my mind. Bringing this together into a mix has been on my bucket list since quite a while and for some reason I always thought this might be a very good sound for the H.A.N.D.s mix series. In the end the recording session happened quite naturally and since I hadn’t prepared a playlist some Austro/German dance-obscurities"

H.A.N.D. MIX 037 - Hendrik Stein

"A light-hearted balearic mix with songs from the late 80s and early 90s - as always taken from many different countries like Italy, Brazil, Sweden, Germany, France, Japan, Portugal… I recorded it a few weeks ago when I wanted the sun to come out so badly! So here it is, welcoming the warm summer months and looking forward to breezy days at the beach." - @frinda_di_lanco
