FRIENDLY MIXTAPE - MONTANA

It’s been a while, but therefore we are gonna start the year with a big one… We are more than happy to welcome Oskar (@floorlengthskirts @fgleeds ) to our hallooo Mix Series. He delivers a 5h long mega mix, taking us on a journey through his favorite records and digs of the last year. From Ambient, Folk, Synth, Wave, Dub, Electro to House, this mix perfectly winds through all genres. Tune in for the big journey! 👗🖤⛓ 
.
↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH OSKAR ↓ ↓ ↓

– Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

I prepared poorly, as the original mix was lost in an irretrievable data breach and I had to re-record. I don't really plan out mixes that much, which I think is pretty easy to hear in some of the transitions between records and moods. The mix is essentially a stack of records I put together from my shelves, in a rough order, which I then recorded in my living room when my housemates weren't in. It sort of traces the past year, records I have found or at least listened to the most.

– Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

Too many to mention really, but 'I Love the Night' by Blue Öyster Cult is probably the record in here that I have had the longest so brings with it the most nostalgia. I reckon I probably got that single when I was 18 and freshly arrived in Leeds, in one of the charity shops opposite my student accommodation.

– How do you dig for new music, and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in a record/music? 

Bandcamp for new stuff, which is actually more my cup of tea these days. Bit of Discogs of course, but even that I have calmed down with a bit. I prefer emailing people and trading without the formality (and cost implications) of Discogs. Tip offs from friends are also always welcomed.
As for what interests me in a record, the cover is important as a signifier - but in terms of sound I don't really have a criteria for what I like or don't like, just a sense of good or bad. I also really like some bad stuff too, and regularly confuse myself with the distinction.

– Are there three records you would take with you on a deserted island?

This is an absolutely impossible question really, but definitely the new Tara Clerkin Trio because I know I can listen to it repeatedly without the enjoyment fading. Station M.X.J.Y. by Maximum Joy possibly or To Each... by A Certain Ratio. Stuff that would send me into madness more quickly? Also not sure if you'd want to even take music you enjoy to a deserted island?

– Music bonds people. Any djs/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out? 

Again too many to name really, DJ-wise particularly because I am surrounded by so many good ones. Queenie, a friend from Leeds who has a show on Narr Radio is my most consistent listen and has amazing taste. Ben Wrong too, if you know you know. The people I live with and my/their friends and loved ones are a pretty talented bunch of people musically and otherwise, but there are too many to namedrop properly so I'll namedrop none of them. Its been nice to meet online friends that have become offline friends, like Caldu and Alex, who both know their beef from their eggs. The Little Record Shop in Hornsey is no secret really, but is the shop I try to get to most regularly. The owner David goes against the record store manager stereotype, and the digging is always productive.
