Up next on mix is good friend and dj Man Power. We all go back quite a few years and have watched him rise up through to now where he is touring non stop worldwide. We will finally cross paths again in Newcastle on the 30th of this month at Ape-X, which promises to be an absolute killer night. We caught up with him ahead of the mix to ask him whats been goin’ on!
“As I write this, I’m halfway through a tour of Mexico and the US.
I’m headlining a full moon party in Tulum this Saturday, then I’m straight off to Burning man (with our mutual friend “Harry the Bastard”… gulp!)
Prior to that I’ve been back in Berlin for the longest period I’ve been able to manage since Christmas, so I’ve started a lot of music (and even finished some).
I recorded this mix during the day at Topaz Deluxe, the club in Monterrey Mexico where I’m now a resident.
Was nice to get in to the vibe of things by recording it with the system up.
Rebolledo is one of the owners there, so you know the sound was thought about a lot!
I’ve just been realising that while I think (or at least I hope) that I’m perceived as a DJ who plays a wide breadth of music, I haven’t really touched on my long time love for punchier Techno with my recorded mix output.
I wanted to remedy that, as I think on a couple of occasions promoters have been shocked (hopefully not in an unpleasant way) when I’ve started getting harder or tougher.
Obviously it’s only ever been done “in the best possible taste”, but it’s definitely another side to the Man Power persona that hasn’t been fully represented in publicly available content so far.”
Up next..
“I’m leaving to play in Tel Aviv in a couple of days, then I’m back for a hometown gig in Newcastle with Bicep and Ian Blevins (the housewives favourite), then back across the pond for another string of dates in the US and Central America, finishing with a festival in Playa Del Carmen alongside DJ Harvey and 2ManyDJs.”
