I'm sorry for being so inactive lately. I have missed some radioshows and been slacking on themix tapes. I have simply had so much other stuff to do.
Now, since i haven't done the things listed above, it doesn't mean that i'm not listening to and buying music anymore. I've got a whole bunch of records and even more mp3's.
In the meantime, enjoy this mix by Sousa/Schmidt:
With a weekly club every thursday, called VILLAINS CLUB, everybody in the Copenhagen nightlife knows the duo Sousa/Schmidt. Sousa/Schmidt hooked up in highschool and haven’t looked back ever since. Besides playing at VILLAINS CLUB, Sousa/Schmidt also play allover Copenhagen at places like Culture Box, Jolene, Vega etc. It is not only the Danes who are enjoying the talent of Sousa/Schmidt, as they also have been playing gigs outside of Denmark.
-Where does your interest for electronic music come from?
-Well it’s not the most exiting story, but here goes; Schmidt had been into techno from his early tweens. He was busy being geeky and “different” while the other kids were playing football. Sousa was oblivious until highschool where we met and Schmidt introduced him to electronic music.
-With the great success that Villians Club is and several big gigs in Copenhagen, what can we expect from you guys in the future?
-Indeed it’s been a pretty great year for us and for Villains Club. With Villains Club we need to think of ways of keeping it fresh and relevant, keep the flame burning. A Thursday club is hard work, you know! With Sousa/Schmidt we still have a long of way of gaining experience and finding our sound, though we think we’ve come far this year. We are still working on an EP and hope it’ll come out in…umm…well, out. Some joyous day.
-What inspired you, when you picked out the tracks for this mix?
-We too were stuck in a foreign country because of the ashcloud. Luckily for us we got a week extra in Granada, and perhaps choosing the tracks on the sunny balcony affected our choices. Do you guys feel the sunshine in the mix?
No, really, our thoughts behind this mix were not revolutionary. It’s been way too long since our last mixtape and so we thought we would just show the world what we are into these days. You can get a long way with that.
-Is this the style we will be hearing from you guys, at your gigs this summer?
-The gigs we played in Spain were very different from most of those we play in Copenhagen. We played a couple of 05-08 (spanish primetime) sets and they were all these banging-techno-hands-in-the-air sort of sets, so maybe we’ll add more techno sounds to our sets. Besides that, we don’t have any certain style planned for this summer.
-What’s the deal with the Carsten Jensen track?
-It’s just this track we picked up somewhere. Don’t know if it’s related to the author or the DJ?
