In this episode of Track ID Mexico, hosts Pepe Camille and Mapu sit down with Christina, aka 40 Cats — Russian DJ, progressive house producer, and founder of Perfection Records. She shares her journey from a remote military city near Murmansk, Russia, to becoming an international artist touring Mexico and beyond.

🎧 "Lovely Day" was rejected by 46 record labels. Every single one said no. Until John Digweed heard it in Miami, asked for it on the spot, and it went on to hit #1 on the Billboard charts. In this episode of TRKID Mexico, Luke Brancaccio — the artist with more releases on Bedrock than anyone in the label's history — tells us everything unfiltered: how he went from hip-hop to electronic music living in a house with four roommates, how he snuck into Club Heaven with a homemade CD until they played it on the main floor within 15 minutes, what it was like fronting Suicide Sports Club in front of 40,000 people alongside Radiohead and Beck, and how a drunk night in the kitchen with his wife Kiki Cave gave birth to Tokyo Fan Club and a full album on Bedrock. We also dig into his current setup (CDJ 3000XS, V10, Moog Subsequent 37, 303, Diva, Pigments, Pulsar P900), exclusive unreleased tracks heard here for the first time, and his no-BS philosophy on the industry: know your worth and stay away from the noise. A conversation between friends. No pretense. Just real music.

In this exclusive episode of TRKIDMexico, we sit down with Fauxplay, a progressive music producer and DJ whose journey began in the early ’90s in Manchester: right at the heart of a cultural and sonic revolution.

From listening to jazz and playing in a punk band to immersing himself in the UK underground scene, you’ll hear how living the culture shaped his connection to music and led him into production alongside Simon Novell (analogue producer). He also shares how collaboration became a key part of his sound, working with artists like OG Anthony Pappa.

Fauxplay breaks down his production process in detail; from the way he approaches tracks to the equipment and plugins he uses.

On the DJ side, he is living proof that being real, building community, and staying open to collaboration can lead to releases on labels like Music To Die For, Sudbeat Music, Forensic Records, and Stripped Digital, among others.

This is more than a story about music, it’s about influence and the roots of progressive sound that still resonate in today’s electronic scene.

If you're into progressive house, underground culture, and the origins of electronic music, this episode is for you.
