FMB MIXTAPE 22 | MEDLAR

Up next on the mix we have long time FMB fav and Wolf Music regular Medlar. We go back a good few years, even before we remixed Terrell  which now feels like a lifetime ago… but this is his first mix for the blog. Fresh with a new EP  about to drop on Wolf and with his appearance at XOYO at their room host, this seems like the perfect time. We caught up with Ned to ask him a bit about the mix…

“I’ve been loving playing around with various setups and experimenting after a little time away from production so a lot of aimless jamming, there are a couple of exciting collaborative projects on the go too which are proving to be lots of fun. It’s nice to have some music out after a little gap, there’s a 4 track coming out on Wolf Music early October which is probably to most out-there record I’ve done, then to balance it out some more club-focussed remixes, the Dele Sosimi remix on this mix will be out on Wah Wah 45s pretty soon too I believe. 

The mix was recorded in my lounge at home, with a couple of piles of records, some decks and a little 2 channel Allen & Heath mixer. I have to shout out Johny Davies who cut me a couple of records on his lathe a couple of hours before I recorded it! Also shout out to half of FYI Chris for bringing me some pasta halfway through recording.

Apart from the first track, which is a remix I wanted to get in there, it’s rooted around late 80s dance music from various places, all pretty synthetic. There’s a few of my favourite Chicago/Detroit records, some Italo, some other stuff and some recent records that fit. A mix for you guys seemed the perfect excuse for something like this!”

Up Next…

“Myself and Wolf Music are hosting room 2 of your XOYO party this Saturday which we’ve been hyped for since we found out about it, we have the whole night! Then at the end of the night I head straight from Old Street to Heathrow where I’m off to Japan for a few weeks. Arigatou!”
