Lone / XOYO Mix & Interview
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010
Tell us about the mix you’ve made for XOYO? Any exclusives or personal favourites on there?
“It’s just a real raw cut up of a few of my all time favourite records, mainly old hardcore stuff – I am, and always have been, obsessed with that stuff. It’s the music that still excites me more than any other i guess. I’d say Acen’s ‘Trip to the Moon’ is my all time favourite record by anyone, it’s just epic and totally insane so that had to be in there. I put Zomby’s ‘Strange Fruit’ in there as well because, although that’s a pretty recent tune, it has that same energy of those hardcore tracks, and properly stands up next to them – huge.”What artists/labels are floating your boat at present?
“Machinedrum’s new thing on Luckyme is amazing; Krystal Klear – looking forward to everything he has coming. I mainly listen to old stuff though to be honest so I’m not totally up on everything right now. Been listening to Theo Parish’s ‘First Floor’ record on Peacefrog loads recently…”Tell us about your latest projects?
“I have a mini album / EP thing coming out on me and Sean West’s Magic Wire label in November, just getting everything in place for that really. I did a track for the first Hoya Hoya record which is coming real soon. Other than that I’m just writing more tunes and playing shows as much as possible.”Winter’s coming, what’s on the agenda?
“When I’m not playing shows I intend to lock my self away and stay as warm as possible and write an album, then go outside again when summer arrives.”Tracklisting:
