Living Room 27 ~ @pleasuregallery 

> q. pls introduce yourself

My name is Alec Hamilton. I run pleasure gallery which is mix series and radio show. I also put on music nights here in Bristol, UK. 

> q. is there a story behind the mix?

I wanted to make something quite tender and introspective. I chose tracks that I’ve spent time thinking, wandering and musing to since I first got into electronic music. I’m a big chess nerd and recently watched an old documentary about Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion. I enjoyed how it explores the theme of human vs machine, so I thought I’d throw in some excerpts from it for some extra spice. 

> q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?

I think it suits time alone, a long journey to see old friends or a lazy Sunday. 

> q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

My friend bought me a signed photo of Jason Statham as a housewarming present. It's so ridiculous but I love it, probably the weirdest gift I’ll ever receive, creates a lot of laughs. 

> q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

I held my first pleasure gallery event a few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to hosting more of those.
