I am in an exceptionally good mood today due to the simple fact the hearing has returned in my left ear. 2 weeks with nothing but a dull low end drone getting through to my ear drum seriously freaked me out and its return has made me even more appreciative of listening to good noise as well as the fact that you should really protect those lug'oles when hanging out near loud speakers.
Anyway, on to today's mix feature with a tidy little selection mixed to perfection by Trouble Vision's very own Hesseltime for the most recent mix release in the Gottwood festival podcast series. Filled with a number of tracks i am really feeling at the moment this mix has left me feeling seriously fresh and sums up what i think this summer season will be all about. We highly recommend you crack this on the player and give it a whirl in preparation of an epic festival season.
Hesseltime aka Matt Hesselworth has aswered a few quick fire questions below to try and help us understand the thought that went in to this superb selection as well as the the inner man behind the mixing booth. He has also answered a few more complex questions for the guys at Gottwood so check those out as well on the link here.
O - What is your breakfast snack of choice?
H- coconut master crumble. it is incredible. You can only get it in Germany though so if you go over, do the smart thing and stock up.
O - If you could have any famous person from history compile a mix tape for you who would it be?
H - Urm, I suppose DJ Derek, he's old enough right?
O - He is indeed old and very humble....Which of the Martin Brothers would you prefer to take on in a game of ping pong and why?
H - Justin Martin, for his work on buzzin fly. Not sure how that would affect his ping-pong skills though? I reckon I could smash him at squash.
O - Most looked forward to party of 2011?
H- Its going to have to be my new night at Corsica studios. Its called 'tief' and launches in September. Its going to focus on the deeper side of house, techno and disco.. Line ups are looking really exciting.
O - What fruit would most appropriately describe your mixing style?
H - What fruit? A banana because its smooth from beginning to end.
I don't know, what do you want me to say?
O - Nice, although i would have chosen a water melon...... And your Hot tip producer for 2011?
H - Bicep is putting out some amazing tracks. Definitely going to be big. We got him playing the first tief at corsica studios.
O- And finally....The most influential tune of the past 6 months?
H - Most influential tune.. got to be that Stimming remix of Moses. The production is incredible.. it sounds so good through a big system.
Massive big ups to Hesseltime and make sure you get a listen to the below mix!
