Paradisco 024 // Planet 8 by Paradisco published on 2023-08-30T12:25:15Z We're happy to present our 24th mix by the Berlin-based DJ Planet 8, with elements of dub, disco, future jazz and more. @planet_8 instagram.com/___planet8/ 1. We heard quite a deep dub influence in the mix, where does that inspiration come from? For me, dub reflects an aesthetic approach that I like and strive to hear in my mixes. I am also fascinated by the influence that certain production techniques related to dub music had on various dance music genres, making them - in my opinion - more pleasing and interesting. 2. How do you go about digging new music? I have a meticulous way of wading through obscure labels and artists on discogs.com, hopping from link to link to link (the research process being probably at least partly influenced by my training as a social scientist). Apart from that, I use Soundcloud and Instagram to keep track of current releases. Then I also like to dig for actual records in actual stores, especially when I’m visiting new places. 3. What is your relationship to disco and hip hop? There were a few superb selections we really enjoyed! Thanks for the great mix! I used to produce hiphop instrumentals for my rapping friends as a teenager, making extensive use of sampling. This, in turn, led me to dig first into jazz, then soul, then funk, and finally disco music. Naturally, my first DJ sets were composed of the more dance-y tunes of these genres. From there, house music wasn’t far. What has always striked me about house - and what I am still looking for in the genre - is a specific approach that reminds me of hiphop: raw, organic, sometimes rough, yet subtle and reduced, combined with a DIY-aesthetic. Thank you guys so much for the sweet words and the opportunity to showcase some of the music I like! Tracklist: Talaboman - Madhouse Dub (feat. Kristian Harborg) Benjamin Fröhlich - Roundabout (feat.
