Galcher Lustwerk definitely is one of the most idiosyncratic producers around. Chris Sherron first made waves with laid-back, stream-of-consciousness-driven hip-house tracks in the early 2010’s. The unmistakable cool that permeated them is more or less written into anything he does—his productions, like his latest Vestibule EP, and, of course, his mixes. The one he recorded for our podcast series is a prime example: As belting its techno may be at times, there’s a lushness to it, coming from a deep understanding of the interplay of groove and melody.
What did you have in mind when recording this mix?
Patient deep house and cut-up dubby techno from America, Germany, and the UK
Where did you record it and which setup did you use?
I recorded it in my studio in New York City on a Pioneer XDJ-R1
What’s the most memorable gig you played so far?
2018, .TAG in Chengdu, China. DJing for 7 hours on top of a concrete skyscraper halfway around the world. I drank a lot of Red Bull.
Can you name a secret weapon that you use frequently?
I’ve got this Addison Rae / Sandwell District mashup that eludes the public.
Three recent releases that caught your attention?
Shinichi Atobe – Blurred
John Tejada – Who’s Afraid
