FMB MIXTAPE 222 | 1-800 GIRLS (320 DOWNLOAD)
This week’s mixtape guest is London-based producer & DJ, 1-800 GIRLS. He’s a multi-instrumentalist having previously performed in live bands, before most recently self-releasing his new single “Looking Back”. You know the drill, we caught up with him to find out more about the mix…
So I’ve spent the last year or so focusing on building a live set, I moved out of London and up to Scotland into the hills in the middle of nowhere so I could focus on it.. so it’s been quite a long and slow process. The first gigs are at the end of October/early Nov so it’s in the final stages now though!
It’s a pretty emotional one and quite personal, a combination of old and new songs I wrote especially for the set – the first tracks ‘Looking Back’ & ‘Because Of You’ are out around the same time as the debut gigs at the end of the month – quite a few of the others forthcoming that can be heard in this mix too (no titles being revealed just yet though).
I recorded the mix at home on my living room set up, nothing too fancy just a couple of cdjs and some hifi speakers.
It was very much put together around alot of my unreleased stuff, so it’s sort of sad and sexy like most of my tracks. Genre wise I think it’s pretty eclectic but sonically I think it all sits within the same realm of emotive electronic sounds. Lots of stuff from family and friends in there too :).
Up next?
Next up is the live shows, the first of which is 24th October in Bristol, followed by a date in London on the 2nd November. There should be a run in the new year as well – hopefully with some visuals to align with the next release. Have quite a few new EP’s scheduled for the new year too which is exciting!
