03-04-10 [DA Podcast]
Where are you based?
I’m based just outside London in the beautiful, fertile home counties.
What music style do you play?
I’m hesitant to say deep house, purely because the term is too easily misconstrued at the moment but I’m into everything from Kerri to the usual Detroit suspects and anything else in between that moves me. I come from a garage background (UK 4×4 and US) so that can creep into my sets too. While this mix isn’t aimed at the dancefloor, it is a good representation of what I’m into; some downtempo cuts, some soulful bits but all deep.
What equipment did you use to create this mix?
My home set up, 1210s, a Vestax mixer, a CDJ and some new brown brogues. Nominal noodling.
What is your favourite producer and/or label?
It’s difficult to name one so I’ll just keep it as brief as possible. I’m really feeling the output of Quintessentials which I’m happy to be working with in the future alongside Flori. Also digging Laid, Sudden Drop and Rush Hour. Artists that spring to mind; Alex Agore, Rondenion and James Duncan have the midas touch for me. In reality though, many, many more.
What are your top 10 tracks currently?
Jakob Corn – Mirrorflip [Dolly]
Black Jazz Consortium – Applied Vibes [Laid]
Hunee – Standin’ High [Permanent Vacation]
Marcello Napoletano – What’s Going On In Detroit [Quintessentials]
Big Strick – Buckle Up [FXHE]
Smallpeople – A Place Called Dream [Laid]
Rondenion – Necessary One For Me [StillMusic]
Ryo Murakami – Lunch Of God (Scott Ferguson Remix) [Quintessentials]
Kyle Hall – Lovekontrol [Wild Oats]
Ernie – Soul Of The Night [Minuendo]
Where will you be DJing in the future?
London, the rest of the UK and Europe. I’m really excited to be working with my new agency, ‘The Secret Agency’, alongside some truly great artists. Looking forward to playing in Vienna in April too.
