Up next on the series we have a mix from Warsaw native Tamten, aka Matt Brzezny. First up, we caught up with him to ask a few questions about the mix and what’s on the horizon…

I’ve been busy playing around Warsaw and Poland generally and working on my new solo EP as well as mixing tracks from an album that I recorded with my best friends Fopa and Ivan Bayor. The project is called House Of Lucy and I hope our album will come out at the end of a year as we plan it. I’m also producing kind of a hip hop album for my long time friend. 

It’s a home recorded mix, I wanted it to feel private. It starts and ends with my own productions, I chose very special records that show where I am as dj or what is inspiring me  the most right now. I wanted to throw it all in – all time favorites, recent picks and productions from friends from Poland to give it a local context (shout out to Gaijin Blues, Dextre, Mozaika, Mazewski, Brutaż). But I still think it makes perfect sense and tells a good story.

Up next…

Recently I premiered my live show at the half year’s eve festival we’d thrown with Fopa and Ivan Bayor in my friend’s garden. It’s called Lucyna 2019 and we kind of want to establish a new holiday in Poland – half year’s eve. I’d like to play live much more often and hope I will present it in a public venues quite soon. I have two solo EPs finished and ready to be released, an album in the making, two House of Lucy albums done and many many more.

This week on the mix, we invited Bodya Konakov aka A-BODY – Ukranian musician, founder of label ШЩЦ/SHITS and DJ based in Kiev. As usual, we asked a bit about the mix & what he’s been up to recently…

This summer is my summer of love. I’ve met a girl. Played some gigs across Ukraine, Germany and Poland. Made a few parties. Made the label. 

I just recorded the mix at home. Sorry, it is so short because I’m preparing for the festival which I make with my friends. Big deal! 

This is tracks which I like to play on parties. Happy hour… They are fast and fun.

Up next…

I’m going to finish the album Selected Rave Tracks, learn to drive and want to travel around the world.

This week we invited Lucid for episode 118 of our mixtape series – she is the London-based founder of WXMB 2 and Lucy’s Disco, along with hosting a monthly show on Balamii. As usual, we asked a bit about the mix and what she’s been up to lately…

I have spent most weekends in a field of some sort since end of May. Summer is definitely busy! Last weekend I had a festival Thursday, London gig Friday, a friends wedding in Somerset on Saturday and another festival on Sunday.

Its hard to find time to find new music in the summer but thankfully I work in Sounds of the Universe where I am always hearing new records that come in. I also spent a wonderful 8 hours finding a whole lot of new tunes a couple weeks ago that I’ve been wanting to put in a mix since! It was recorded in the comfort of my own home.

Usually I build a mix around a few tracks I really want to put in it. I like to find the starting track first – one with a nice build up – and then go from there. I am feeling very confident in my sound now and don’t feel like I need to sound like anyone else or follow a trend. I wanted to portray that in this mix! 

Up next…

Look out for my recent (6th August) Brilliant Corners recording which will be out soon. Next you can find me in Berlin playing at Wilde Renate for Marlon Hoffstadt’s party Savour the Moment on the 10th August, then I will be on a short holiday before working with my initiative WXMB 2 on our big end of summer event on the 30th August where we, with 8 other female focussed collectives, are throwing a big party at Grow in Hackney.

This week on the mix, we invited NZ’s very own Eden Burns, who recently released this 5 track EP on his new label Head Rush. As usual we asked a bit about the mix & what’s been going on lately…

I have just got back from Tokyo! It was my first time and very exciting. I got to play at Dommune and Contact. it was a really great time and a cant wait to go back!

This mix was recorded at home on my laptop, sadly nothing fancy sorry! Pretty much this mix is my favourite songs that I have been listening to/playing out the past 2 or 3 months plus some new stuff from my friends!

Up next…

I am moving back to my little home town Dunedin in New Zealand to take a break/chill out and work on my brand/creative platform “Head Rush”. Plus working on a bunch of new music that will hopefully come out soon!

Up next on the series we have a mix from London-based DJ and producer Laurence Guy. We caught up with Laurence to ask a few questions about the mix and what else is on the horizon…

I’ve been having a lot of fun recently, playing at Gottwood, Glastonbury and Love International amongst some other great club shows. I’ve also finished up a lot of new music, signed a new record and started a live show, so it’s been an engaging few months.

This mix is actually a live recording from a venue in Edinburgh called “Sneaky Petes”. It’s a tiny venue with great sound and atmosphere and was definitely one of my favourite gigs this year. 

Over the years I’ve been so used to playing warm up slots that I’ve found it difficult to keep the energy/flow right now I find myself playing later or playing as the “headliner” even in small clubs. I then had a period of trying a bit too hard to play “big” tunes and it wasn’t really me. I feel like I’ve finally got my head round how I want to present myself as a DJ now and this set is a good example of that. 

Up next…

Next up, I’ve got an EP coming out for Mule Music, more live shows , more touring, more music making :)
