After a lengthy hiatus Under Ytan is back with another podcast for you to enjoy in these hard days.
This time we have the pleasure of giving you a mix from one of Gothenburg's local heroes.

Hampus Kontio is part of the collective's Secret window and LFS. During the last years these collectives have consistently been producing high quality events focusing on minimal house.
As for Hampus you can always expect a tasteful selection of the best minimal cuts.
Now on friday  you have the opportunity to catch Hampus playing music together with the LFS crew at Cafe Fluss don’t miss out!

Tell us about the mix?
The mix was recorded at my parents place in Borås where I brought my two turntables, 3 channel mixer and an additional cdj for this occasion. They live by a lake in the forest so it’s a very calm environment close to nature which is a very nice setting for me to play music in. I love to do daytime mixing with a coffee by my hand or even better if you can do it outside in the sun but unfortunately we don’t have that many months in Sweden when that’s possible so this time it had to be a window between the mix and nature. 

What sort of sounds inspire you at the moment?
Oh that could be a very long question but for some years now the romanian power duo SIT (Cristi Cons & Vlad Caia) both their productions & DJ-sets have been an massive inspiration for me & ofc when they go together with their third partner Mischa Blanos to create their extremely talented live setup as Amorf. There’s a lot more talented producers/DJs worth mentioning here also but for me I strive to keep my mixing with a minimal vibe driven by rhythms & grooves where you also can explore more jazzy/funky/organic/acoustic sounds depending on different settings/locations. I also wanna give a quick shoutout to Felipe Botero/Baldor who really got me into exploring more organics sounds and different soundscapes in music.

What do you hope for the future when society is starting to open up again?
I certainly hope for all cultural and music places that are driven by the right reasons will be able to survive this pandemic so when the time comes people will still have these places to meet up and enjoy being together again. For us as a collective LFS/Secret Window we’re longing for making some proper events again but right now we don’t have any major events coming up before it feels secure enough to do it from both society's & our own perspective. We have plans for some smaller things during the summer though that we’ll try to make as cozy and creative as we can during these times to fill the void from the scene we all love.
