Levon Vincent

“I feel there are a couple routes which can be taken when putting together a mixtape for a site like RA: You can rehearse the arrangement which can yield a more relaxed/ listener-friendly mix, or alternatively it can be treated like a gig: Press record, bang it out and go for a raw feeling. I chose the latter approach, because I want people to know what to expect if they come to see me perform. I saw this podcast as an opportunity to (hopefully) promote my live set.
As far as the tracks and mixing style, it is a fairly good representation of how I might play out. I do some EQ moves and fader bumps, but I don’t go too crazy. I try to tastefully play the turntables/mixer as an instrument. Within a two hour set or so, I’m bound to go completely “underwater” at least once or twice. There are moments when you play for the audience and moments when you play for other musicians… I have a gig at Berghain soon, that might call for a darker selection, but I won’t know until I get there and read the crowd. Something tells me they wanna get dirty though…” LV for RA
