Ketoloco Podcast 002: HUXLEY

Ketoloco Podcast Series

1) Can you tell us a bit about the mix - how did you approach it? This is just a mix up of some of my favourite tracks at the moment. It also gives a good indication of the vibe that i'm playing out. Looking back at the tracklist it's actually pretty upfront for me. I normally play more of a mixture of old and new stuff. 2) How and where was the mix recorded? I just recorded the mix in my studio at home, just on some CDJs and a pioneer 600 . Nothing really that special to mention i'm afraid. However, I do often edit the tracks I play a bit before hand, to make them more to how i feel they will work when i play them. Especially for studio mixes when you have more time to think about how you want to piece things together. 3) Is the 'how' important? IE are you strictly vinyl, digital only, a keen fan of gadgets like FX boxes etc etc? For me, personally, I'm not that fussed. Right now i just play out using CDs and a tiny bit of vinyl, sometimes. I think everyone has their own way of working, and if it works for them, then that's great. People get too caught up about the 'how' sometimes and forget about the music, which is the most important part for me. Saying this, i'm looking to get into ableton or traktor soon though, as they both look like pretty cool programs. 4) And for a normal set in a club - how much preparation goes into each one? How much planning do you do or are most of your sets done on the fly? I'd love to say i'm one of those people who meticulously plans everything before hand, but i'm very much a 'on the fly' type of person. I also find that if you have this approach you can adapt to the crowd/situation easier. I mean you could have planned the best set in the world, but if the crowd isn't feeling it, then you're not doing your job. 5) You’re playing a set for Ketoloco @ The Light Bar on Sunday 29th August - what can people expect from you? More of the same with a few surprises and maybe some more exclusives!
