MDC.281 Lorem Ipsum

Melbourne Deepcast

The Parisian DJ dons @lorem-ipsum-yo grace the cast with their undeniably fresh styles, blending up nearly 4 hours of insane jams dabbling in private soul, r'n'b, gangsta hip hop, cloudrap, ghetto house and jungle from cassettes, CDs & vinyl digs meticulously unearthed from the deepest corners of the web! Some words on the mix + Lorem Ipsum happenings with co-founder Pierre: Q. Thanks for contributing with such a killer mix! I know you collect a lot of private issue cassettes, CDs and hard to find vinyl. What kinds of special treats might we be in for over the four hour journey here? "You can expect some homemade soul rnb, gangsta hiphop, cloudrap, ghetto house, rave, jungle and other kinds of stuff I collected during the past year." Q. What kind of inspiration did you draw upon when putting the mix together? Is there a particular sound, period in time or general feeling that connects all the different elements in one way or another? "I tried to do something different from what we are used to listening to in mixes and trying to put my favourite music of the moment together, it’s why the mix is a bit long! I like to put all the new music I've collected since the last mix into a new one. It’s like a big playlist for myself that I can listen to on my phone without having to change music each time." Q. It seems as though you have been heavily involved in building a great little community of deep digging music lovers in Paris over the past few years. Who are some of the other like minded DJs or crews that inspire you at the moment, and what are some of your favourite spots to dig, play records and hang out around the city? "I admit that I don't really listen to new releases and new mixes but I'm always curious about those of Mike Who and Bill Spencer. I dig almost exclusively on the internet, shame on me, but there are so many good leads on youtube and discogs. I don’t have a specific spot in Paris but each year during summer we organize a festival called “Divagations” with the Maybe Tonight guys in the middle of France near a lake. This is an amazing spot for playing music and hang out!"
