In this monthly series we'll be inviting some of our favourite selectors and diggers to create a mix of their favourite rare records and interview them to learn a little more about some of their picks and get their thoughts on all things music.

Kicking off the first instalment is Seoul based selector, Taelyn. She has been making waves with her choice selections, variety and guest radio appearances. She delivers a blend of rare lovers rock, dub and reggae vibes just in time for V-day, and we also had the pleasure of speaking with Taelyn to get their story.

KollektivX Mix 001 Taelyn: Lost Lovers Rock Records for Valentine's Day

“내 색깔을 만들고 유지해가려고 해요. 저는 소속이 있는 것도 아니고, 저 만의 파티가 있는 것도 아니니, 더욱 내 스타일을 만들어야하는 입장이에요. 가끔은 제가 어떤 스타일의 음악을 트는지 잘 이해하지 못한 상황에서 섭외를 하시는 경우가 있어서 당황스러웠던 적도 있어요. 그렇더라도 예전에는 그 베뉴에 맞춰서 틀려고 노력했는데, 요즘은 제가 틀고 싶은 것을 더 틀려고 해요.”

“I focus on shaping and maintaining my own identity. I’m not tied to any collective, nor do I run my own party series—so it’s even more important for me to define my style. Sometimes I get booked by people who don’t fully understand the kind of music I play, which can be a bit awkward. In the past, I’d try to tailor my set to match the venue, but these days I prefer to play what I truly want—so long as it doesn’t disrupt the overall vibe.”
