Tracklist/Description: The Monologues Podcast invites producers to mix an hour of their own productions. Follow our Bandcamp for our label releases at monologuesrecords.bandcamp.com Slowly but surely, Berlin-based English producer @athlete-whippet's sumptuous sounds have charmed the house and disco world. With serious musical chops backing up his dance floor grooves, it's no wonder Toy Tonics have snapped him up to be part of their family, and his work continues to become ever-more sophisticated and infectious. He treats us to some works-in-progress in the mix alongside some of his tastiest morsels to date. *How would you describe your sound?* It’s sort of ever evolving but I’d say the thing that always plays a big role is that it’s very much a hybrid between club music and songwriting. I come from a background of playing in bands to production, and DJing was actually the last piece of the puzzle for me. *What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* Many, many people and things. These days I’ve come back to composing my songs on instruments rather than in the box and started singing a lot more again. I’m also so fortunate to be part of a wonderful scene of artists between Berlin and London which is a constant inspiration. *Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?* It’s been a nice chance to delve back into things from the early days, something that I rarely ever do. I’ve started off with new stuff from recent records which represents my sound now, and then as I build up the confidence, I go into some current work in progress somewhere in the middle before going back to the very roots at the end.
