WAX FAX WITH DJ MASEO (VINYL ESQUIRE)

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

My name is Theo Keating, and I’m from London. I’ve made records and DJ’ed under various names - Fake Blood, Touché, The Wiseguys, The Black Ghosts… I’ve been DJing and collecting records since I was a kid in the late 80’s. My collection used to also include a huge amount of hip-hop, house, techno etc, but I sold all of that and just kept what I’ve always called “The Crates” ie: all my records (orig pressings) from the mid-60’s to the mid-80’s that I’ve bought, dug, and dirtied my hands for over the years! 

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format:

I’m by no means a 45 obsessive, but being a digger means 45’s are of course part of the fun. I got into listening and buying old music not only from an interest in original breaks and nuggets as a teenager, but also through London’s Rare Groove scene in ’87 / ’88,  and listening to pirate radio shows at that time - and of course 7”s were at the core of that sound. There was something so magical about finding and owning a 7” of some raw tune. Not only funk, but whatever you could find and take a chance on. I’m sure many people have answered this question better than myself, though. I love 45’s, but I also love LP’s. Whatever delivers those pieces of joy!

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

Rather than do a mix based around any one style or genre, I wanted to play a range of stuff. The only theme was that the tempo would increase gradually as the mix went on. And that was it! I just drew the records that made sense - or didn’t make sense! That’s the fun part. 

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

My Soundcloud is where you’ll find the Fake Blood stuff - more electronic / house-based sounds, but my Bandcamp is where the beats live! And all the older stuff is probably floating around on YouTube, of course…

https://soundcloud.com/fake-blood
https://bloodprojects.bandcamp.com/

5) Top 5 all time fave records:

Wow that’s an incredibly difficult question. And the answer might change from day to day, or even hour to hour. So here are 5 tracks I can think of right now that bring me total happiness (mixed with some melancholy - the best combination!)…

1) Nicole Croisille “Killy” (13 Jours En France OST)
2) Galt MacDermot “Coffee Cold” (Shapes Of Rhythm)
3) Daniele Patucchi “Tragica Fine Del Squalo Pt.2” (Sharks And Men OST)
4) Robert John “The Thought Of Someone Else” (On The Way Up)
5) Caravelli “L’Etrange Dr. Personne” (April Orchestra Vol.16)

45/7 #60 ARTIST: THEO KEATING
