Hallooo Mix Series No.10 – Kiernan Abbott by hallooo.music published on 2021-12-01T11:25:35Z We are more than happy to welcome Kiernan (@fragmentsinwax) to our hallooo Mix Series. The outstanding welsh digger delivers a stunning mix of rare 90's electronica, downtempo, IDM and early electro. Let's take a sip of welsh time and space.🥤🌚💫 Enjoy the Trip! . ↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH KIERNAN ↓ ↓ ↓ Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result? A: Thank you! It's a pleasure to finally get this put together after months of waiting for the right records/tapes/CD's to become available. I was in the middle of building a tracklist for 2 very different mixes, one of which being an early morning AOR/Pop orientated mix with the other being this one - an early to mid 90's blend of IDM and other electronica. I'm pretty happy with the result, it was fun to play some better known tunes by Juicy Peach, Eirin Peryglus and Yiffie amongst the weird Welsh things that have come up recently. Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story? A: Not so much a record, but a CD Promo I was given by a Welsh group called Glovebox with a bunch of unreleased material from the late 90's featuring a few music videos! It's got a really great blend of IDM, Ambient House and Breakbeat tunes that only had a few radio plays and the odd play out at coastal raves. Q: How do you dig for new music, and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in a record? A: Over lockdown Discogs has been an ever present tool, however I've found that I had much more luck making connections with private collectors. I've got some really lovely family/friend connections in Wales and have a buddy in Cornwall who has an amazing collection of privately pressed records from the mid 80's. I also chat to other DJ's who have similar tastes that are kind enough to share pointers for things that might be of interest, I'd say that's my favourite way of digging because you make a friend along the way! In terms of picking out records, I think the sleeve always tells a story. But I also focus on the label for info, the more DIY it looks the better! Q: One record you will never let go, and one that doesn’t want to leave your wantlist? A: I never sell any of my personal copies of Welsh language records and tapes, especially given the recent rise in demand. However, one that stands out is probably a self released cassette I was given by an Aberystwyth post-punk/experimental pop group called Crisialau Plastig. It was recorded on a 4-track recorder and used wacky instruments like a toy flute, a harmonica and of course, a drum machine. One that never leaves my wantlist is probably an LP by Ffenestri, called 'Tymhorau'. It's recently sky rocketed in price and I'm lucky to have come across a few copies. It was recorded at the Vestry in my village and was the first release on my locally loved Fflach label, which is now defunct due to the very sad passing of the Jones brothers. 'Y Tymhorau' is a fortuitous dance tune that I play 99% of the time at gigs that always pricks people's ears, whether they're into this scene or not. Q: Music bonds people. Any djs/projects/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out? A: Yes definitely, Thom from Freedom of Groovement is the person who encouraged me to start taking music more seriously along with Vish from Dar Disku who pushed me to play more to my roots. Corey and @Kaynethehermit from Continuous Movement and DiskFrisk respectively for some great company in recent months. Also, @j_gregss from @In-Form who I've been lucky enough to share a few drinks and some tracks (heard here) with over some musical chatter.
