FMB MIXTAPE 124 | LUCID (MIXCLOUD)
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.
