HH MIX #037 - #19.21.3.11.21.20

Exclusive mix number 37 comes from the mysterious and unknown quantity #19.21.3.11.21.20. As you can imagine there is next to no information to be found on this anonymous Frozen Border affiliated producer. So we took the opportunity to ask him a few questions in an attempt to gain some insight into the man behind the number.

You only have the one release so far under your #19.21.3.11.21.20 guise. Have you ever produced under a different name, and if you have, do you feel that this alias allows you to explore other musical outlets or is it purely for the purpose of anonymity?

Yes I did and I still do. The #.19.21.3.11.21.20. is Frozen Border exclusive and of course those tracks are different, I would say a bit more relaxed and even more stripped down.

On the subject of anonymity how do you feel about the relatively
recent explosion of DJ celebrity culture? Do you feel remaining
anonymous helps keep the focus on the music?

Well I always try to keep the focus on the music. That's everything which counts for me. So for me in person, names doesn't play a big role.

Do you have any favourite clubs that you tend to go to and have you
seen any DJs/live acts recently that have particularly impressed you?

No I don't like to go out for having party. But I saw Skudge live last year, that was impressive. A real liveact with hardware.

Where do you draw your influences from? Are there any producers in
particular that you look up to, past or present?

Everything I recognize influences me in a way. Of course there are a few guys I look up to.

Can you talk us through your thought process behind the mix?

I've recorded it on a lazy Sunday and I wanted to record something different, not just a typical club set.

The mix that you've done for us is vinyl only, where do you stand on
the vinyl versus digital debate?

I like vinyls and CDs. Those are my weapons of choice. Everyone should choose his own but to be honest, to press sync buttons isn't a challenge - I don't like perfect sets, that's not human.

And finally, can we expect to see anything from #.19.21.3.11.21.20. in the near future?

Maybe.

Thanks for taking the time to answer a few of our questions and for recording the mix for us.

Without doubt #19.21.3.11.21.20's contribution to the series is one of our favourite to date, great selections that slowly and subtly build up to a crescendo before crashing back down at the last minute. A mix best served late at night with a decent pair of headphones. No tracklist on this one so get commenting on those track i.d's!
