A-Tweed: The Shine A Light On Mix

Low slung funk let’s go.

Listen and get familiar below:

You’re pretty new on our radar, fancy telling us a little bit about yourself?

My name is Antonio De Oto aka A-Tweed and I was born in Campobasso, Molise, a small town in Southern Italy with very freezy and snowy winters.

Where are you:  Roma

What are you: a reasonable doubt

What does your music sound like?

Bouncing Springs and Broken Drums

Can you draw what you think it sounds like for us (an image from the old internet is acceptable)?

How does your brain work when making music?

Endorphins & Anarchy

How does it work when you aren’t?

Just Anarchy

What was the first electronic record you heard and how did it make you feel?

I had a jazz/funk and psychedelic rock background, I guess that when I met “Ultra” by Depeche Mode and “Selected Ambient Works 85-92” by Aphex Twin something radically changed.

Where was the mix recorded?

At my home studio

What would be the ideal setting to listen to the mix?

Sunset vibes in the woods

What should we be wearing?

Wayfarer Sunglasses and your favorite t-shirt

What would be your dream setting to record a mix:

Somewhere in Skye Isle / Function One / Wrong Speed

Which track in the mix is your current favourite?

Hard to pick a single track, also because all of them are played “wrong speed”, but maybe “Ochenta y Dos” by Guile

What’s your favourite recorded mix of all time?

Mmm, I really can’t say, there are too many mixes and recorded live performances that I absolutely loved

If you could go back to back with any DJ from throughout history, who would it be and why?

Probably John Talabot, Bufiman or Dengue Dengue Dengue, in each case I would be enthusiastic to learn something different from them.

What was your first DJ set up at home and what is it now?

I approached the djing 15/16 years ago doing afrofunk and northern soul selectas with CDs with a cheesy “Gemini” controller, now I basically use Pioneer cdjs everywhere.

What’s more important, the track you start on or the track you end on?

The track I end on and all its details

What were the first and last records you bought?

The first one was “Californication” in 1998, now I mostly buy tracks on Bandcamp but maybe one of the latest full EPs I bought was “Dingers” by Will Hofbauer on Optimo

If this mix was an edible thing, what would it taste like?

Guacamole?
