My favorite club is actually not really a club but it's the place where I've been hosting events since late 2015. It's a small venue in my hometown. Inside a greenhouse we dance the night away. It's like being in your own living room with your best friends. Regarding my favorite festival... this is a tough one. But I think I will go for Wildeburg, the (much smaller) equivalent to Fusion in terms of getting lost, decoration etc. The crowd is very nice, the location is magical and the whole production is just top notch. I've been part of it for some years now and it's always a highlight. ▌II Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? During the pandemic, I kind of stepped away from the more organic downtempo sound and explored the more electronic/deep house spectrum. As I like many styles of music, I don't like doing just one thing, I get bored easily. So I still keep creating a lot of stuff. There are a few EPs in the works, excited to share it soon. ▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? I just got back from a lovely time in Berlin, playing in Klunkerkranich :-) We did a labelnight with the Magician of Duty family. It inspired me to work on this mix the week after I returned. The mix contains some of my upcoming releases, some edits I play in my sets, and tracks by other talented people. ████████████████████████████████████████████████ █ Thommie G (@thomas-gaarthuis / Magician on Duty, Sol Selectas, Monada) SC - https://soundcloud.com/thomas-gaarthuis IG - https://www.instagram.com/thomasgaarthuis/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/ThommieGmusic/ SPOTIFY . https://open.spotify.com/artist/6UXTvRhVBnD36tvJKk32Tu BC - https://thommieg.bandcamp.com █ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global) FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/ WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/ ████████████████████████████████████████████████ █ HASHTAGS #thommieg #magicianonduty #solselectas #monada #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave
