YooDj's Mix by WE FORFEIT published on 2021-07-16T12:25:56Z This is a mix we did in 2018 for YooDj’s. Below is the interview we did with em too. Enjoi! “First, thanks for asking us to make a mix for ye; we’re delighted to do so and hope ye like what we’ve put together. My name’s Robbie Geoghegan. I’m from the midlands in Ireland called Longford. I got into electronic music around the age of twelve or thirteen. My brother had the Ventolin remixes by Aphex Twin, I loved em and it grew from there. Since then, I’ve been collecting records and have been lucky enough to live in a decent amount of different cities and pick up stuff in each of em. They all had something different musically, from forgotten disco in Vancouver to cracking nights out in Dublin, Belfast and Glasgow. I also learned a huge amount form the CBS, now IntergalacticFM and an amazing resource, and forums like robotsfororobts. My family are pretty wordy, second name included in that, so I figured I’d do some music writing in my early twenties. I’ve been writing for Igloo Mag (www.igloomag.com) for well over a decade now and really love working with Pietro and all the guys there. It’s been a savage way to meet people and keep up to date with the weird and whacky world of machine music. Nowadays I continue to write for Igloo and I also write copy for a number of labels, to name drop a few, such as Frigio here in Madrid, Bordello A Parigi in Amsterdam and Shipwrec also in The Netherlands. I love doing it. Despite loving Glasgow the weather is a grind so I decided to pack up and move again. Records and turntables went back to Ireland and myself and my girlfriend moved to Madrid. It’s a brilliant spot. It’s a wee bit under the radar as everyone goes to Barcelona so ya avoid the Berlin effect of people just screaming to be heard. The people into music here, like Juanpablo from Frigio or Aitor who runs Femur, are super into it and real sound heads. After a year here I moved all my records over, and the flat is steadily filling up with more. I met Chris through a friend of my wife’s and we hit it off immediately. It’s pretty hard to find folk into electronic music but Chris knows his stuff and also picks up different things to me which is great as we can bounce off each other. I’m Chris Robertson and I was born and raised in the south of Glasgow, Scotland. My musical taste evolved through the well slightly cliched and well-trodden path of UK punk and American hardcore in my early teens through to the acerbic analogical noise of groups like Big Black and Scratch Acid. When I was 20 I discovered the illegal after-hours scene in Glasgow and bought a pair of technics 1210s from the owner of a shitty eurotrance club that was going into liquidation. I started buying records from local stores and after spending time in Berlin, I moved to Madrid to escape an ex girlfriend. I didn’t expect to spend long there but, by chance, I got caught up in the small but fertile scene here and became a regular at great club nights like analogical force and femur. It’s my home now and glad to be a small part of the scene here. The mix is some tracks we like and thought went well together. We don't stick to one style too much. Well that’s partially true. Sometimes it can be fun to limit yourself to something like techno and explore how broad it can be, other times fun to just fiddle about and see what comes of it.
