Usually, we feature customized mixes or live recordings as part of our podcast series. Lolsnake’s contribution is neither. For over three hours, the Weeeirdos founder reimagines a set they recently played, oscillating between ethereal dub atmospheres and straightforward techno, creating a journey that goes back to the future.
What did you have in mind when recording this mix?
I wanted to record a recent set I had played as it was such an emotional and intense journey that I felt really resonated with the crowd. So i thought let’s get it recorded for Groove.
Where did you record it and which setup did you use?
I recorded it at home in my living room here in Berlin. I used my three CDJs and a Xone 92 Mixer
What’s the most memorable gig you played so far?
The first time I played Berghain back in 2022. I remember all of my friends flying in to be there—having that support in such an iconic space meant everything as I had essentially spent my entire 20s growing up in there. I was so nervous before stepping up to the booth, but once the music started, the energy was pure magic. I felt so incredible during and after the set. Big smiles and love.
Can you name a secret weapon that you use frequently?
An absolute secret weapon of mine is „Rhythm Sticks“ by Phara. It’s incredibly percussive, raw, and fast. Completely locks the crowd into a loop and doesn’t let go.
Three recent releases that caught your attention?
– Temudo – And The Pattern Repeats [Primal Instinct]
Temudo’s sound design is just next-level right now. The precision in this track is insane—it has this incredible, emotional trippy tension that completely locks people into the groove.
– False Identity – Gentian [Sungate]
This one is pure, raw energy. It’s got a really beautiful, deep grit to it that brings a completely different texture and attitude into a set when you need to switch things up.
Planetary Assault Systems – Retina Burn [Ostgut Ton]
„Retina Burn“ is an absolute classic weapon that still completely destroys dancefloors every single time I drop it.
What do you have coming up?
Starting a new live project with Matrixxman called 6ERPENT9.
