Egg London Podcast

Ahead of their outstanding appearances at Familia on 6th September Marc Maya and Raul Mezcolanza came and laid down exclusive sets live on Egg London Radio.

For the first 60 minutes the unmistakable infectious beats of Marc Maya filled the airwaves. Marc the became a fixture at Florida 135 and soon after one of the only Residents at the International Festival of gigantic proportions- the Monegros Desert Festival. With releases on 1605, Great Stuff and Fresco. Standing out as a Spanish DJ can sometimes be an overwhelming task, however Marc is certainly achieving this and then some!

Joining Marc for the second hour Raul Mezcolanza, a man who over the past few years has been conscientiously evolving, perfecting and mastering his own style and sound, with releases on Suara, Octopus, Bitten, 1605, Loose Records and Analytic among others.

Both DJs are an integral part of the world renowned clubbing institution Elrow.

The Familia Radio Show and their exclusive mixes is in association with Decoded Magazine.

Chilean star Francisco Allendes joined Jean Bressan a couple weeks back in the Egg London studio to lay down an exclusive mix for us.

After 8 years of studying violin and performing with chamber orchestras and folkloric bands, Francisco discovered progressive rock and the sound of the synthesizers at the age of 17. That was his first contact with electronic instruments, which encouraged him to start researching for new sounds and discover electronic music.

On 2001, at the age of 20, Francisco starts mixing records on little parties in Santiago and in a short time, helped in a way by the boom of electronic music in Chile, he became part of the professional circle of Chilean djs. In 2003, he released his first album, Vacas Locas, an independent CD with 9 tracks that was very well received and triggered the prize of Best National Electronic Musician.

Since then he starred at Creamfields, Love Parade and Southfest, sharing the stage alongside the likes of Luciano, Dinky and Alejandro Vivanco.

Keinemusik's David Mayer joined us last week in the Egg London studio to go live on there air before his performance at Supernova on the 23rd August.

Crossing borders is a familiar experience to David Mayer. Though being born in south Germany, he spent most of his youth living in Norway and (for a change) in Lanzarote, before Berlin happened to become his home in 2004.

As he prefers thinking outside the box, Mayer has always been equally interested in experimenting with diverse forms of music, no matter what musical genre they derive from, although his passion for funked up and heavily pounding 4/4 beats clearly dominates his creative output. Both when spinning records and producing tracks, he is presenting his own interpretation of catchyness, mixing up Techno and House, adding a little deepness, but always keeping an eye on making his audience shake some.

His dedication finds its way in several musical excursions as a ghost-/coproducer or audio engineer. As a founding member of the artists collective and label Keinemusik, David Mayer also accounts for pieces like the remix of "You" by Steed Lord (Get Physical) or the "Fun Girl" remix for Jessica6-singer Nomi of Hercules & Love Affair. But of course, he is also working on the next thing to tie in with "Crime", which was released on keinemusik May 2010. Only leaving his desk in order to indulge some serious clubbing, you can be sure this guy knows about priorities.

Mihai is considered one of the most innovative eastern European producers of electronic music today. He started producing music in 2001 being influenced by the techno and house virus and it took many years of experiments until he came up with his first vinyl release on DJ Hell’s imprint, Gigolo Records in 2005. Since then he has steadily added chapters to his personal success story with solo projects and those with partners like Markus Homm or Jay Bliss on labels like Diynamic, All Inn, Hudd Traxx and many others.
