My set from the mighty Eastern Bloc is avaliable to listen back to.
This weeks 'Live' Mix comes from Practical, otherwise known as Callum Wilson, who is one of the founders of the 4x4 Deviation night out of Liverpool who we have hosted at the shop on multiple occasions. We were also lucky enough to grab the 'd.phylleia' recording from this peach of the night, so if you haven't listened to it yet go back through the archive and get listening.
Practical takes us through a jacking vibe in comparison, plenty of euphoria filled machine business, raw analogue energy and weighty ear worm basslines, perfect for tickling the lower register of the shop's sound system.
Feedback on the evening was mega and I think across these podcasts you can certainly get a real feel for the event, we've really enjoyed revisiting this one, so hope you will to.
Some words from Callum
"When I plan sets out for 4x4 Deviation nights I always like to project my slot to align with our theme of that party. With this one being ‘Electric Body Music’ I wanted to dive into euphoric, loud and stabby styles of EBM, New Beat, Techno & Electro.
Libertine records, and artists such as DJ Hell & Binh really inspired me ahead of this. I don’t tend to associate with one particular playing style, but I hadn’t played sounds like this out before. It was a really enjoyable challenge to balance my usual deep preferences with this alternative grungy noisy dialogue."
We hope you enjoy
