Dropbox guest mix time. We’ve been lucky enough to have been sent some absolute belters and this one is every bit as good a selection as we have featured as part of our Soundcloud featured mixes.
American based Ben Marcus sums it up in his own words:
I am Chicago based DJ who still plays exclusively vinyl records and takes pride in creating the smoothest blends. The way I think of my sets, and much like the way I put “Don’t Stop” together, is to conjure that natural energy of a live band playing deep in the groove. I mix tracks that bring a pop oriented dance song into a funky instrumental and then into deeper electronic space. (In this mix I would say that happens with the Hot Chip into the following two songs). I play Disco because it can have everything I love about electronic dance music, but with a warm human live instrumental feel. Especially a lot of the newer stuff thats coming out. Its like DJ as if I was the ultimate cover band!
