Feel My Bicep (R)

The mix was recorded in my studio in Berlin. My focus has always been on producing music and performing live shows rather than DJing so I have learnt to find my own way of making mixes which isn’t exactly the standard DJ approach. I use mainly Ableton and some outboard effect units. After selecting the music and digitalising vinyls when needed, I put the tracks in a session and do quite a lot of editing, add some layers of my own recorded material or vocals here and there, process some bits through external effects, etc. My mix is ultimately an instinctive assembling of all that and some happy accidents. The idea behind the mix is hopefully to create emotion for the listeners. I personally don’t enjoy mixes that sound like a straight motorway from start to finish. I much prefer to be taken through highs, lows and unexpected turns. I approach mixes in a very similar way to my live sets. For this particular mix, I liked the idea of starting things on what sounds like the fading end of something else. And building anew from there, in full circle. – Fantastic Twins

I asked a bunch of producer friends I really like for some new music whilst touring and got an idea for the mix then recorded it when I got back to the studio. The idea for the mix was just a feel good peak time mix full of melody, I wanted to try and incorporate all aspects of peak time I like to play; with inspiration from 80s, 90s, Italo and some darker bits also, with a classic or 2 thrown in !  – Eagles & Butterflies
