This is on full display here with the 125th edition of our mix series coming courtesy of the multi talented Michael Klein. For an even greater peer into the process behind the mix&#8217; creation, we also asked Michael a few questions on how he constructed it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"button small\" style=\"background:#E40045;\"><a style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.unlock.fm\/9ej\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"> Download <\/a><\/span> <span class=\"button small\" style=\"background:#E40045;\"><a style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/michaelkleinberlin\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"> Soundcloud <\/a><\/span> <span class=\"button small\" style=\"background:#E40045;\"><a style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MichaelShinichiKlein\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"> Artist Page <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fdeep-house-london%2Fmichael-klein-dhl-mix-125&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>*Interview by Emilija Kucyte<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What element or track did the idea for the mix start with?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt has been triggered by a recent release of &#8216;Architectual&#8217; which is actually the second track in the mix. Because of its vibe I really wanted to make this to become a set with a warehouse vibe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the idea behind the mix?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe idea was to create a set that would perfectly work within a warehouse environment. I wanted to gather all these tracks from the past months that would fit into this category and put them into one mix.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where was the mix\/track recorded?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe set has been recorded at the Native Instruments headquarters in Berlin. During the day I work there as a designer for hardware and after working hours I locked myself in our artist lounge to work on this mix.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your selection criteria for the tracks you included in the mix?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe tracks had to be very raw sounding as well as a bit trippy. I love to play tracks that are not too much &#8220;in your face&#8221; but get you with their subtlety over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you would have to choose a visual representation for this mix (poster\/piece of classical or modern art, photography), what would that be? <\/strong><br \/>\nIt would be the attached picture. For me the Kraftwerk in Berlin is one of the most amazing locations I have seen in a clubbing environment. It just screams rawness through it&#8217;s metal and concrete construction while also having something very mysterious to it. You never know whats waiting for you behind the next steel beam.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40021\" src=\"http:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Kraftwerk-Berlin-2-e1485353126427.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Klein-mix-image\" width=\"628\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Tracklist<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Population One &#8211; Multiple Choice (Cosmin TRG Remix)<br \/>\nArchitectual &#8211; Cubismo 8.1<br \/>\nTruncate &#8211; Drum Trax<br \/>\nAntigone &#8211; Walking Distance<br \/>\nOctual, Sinfol &#8211; Signals<br \/>\nMichael Klein &#8211; tba<br \/>\nMattias Fridell &#8211; The Science Beyond<br \/>\nMotif &#8211; Summer Session<br \/>\nSlam &#8211; Rotary (Roman Poncet Remix)<br \/>\nFugal &#8211; Oil Panes<br \/>\nArchitectual &#8211; Cubismo 8.3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Klein&#8217;s unique sound is defined by \u00a0percussive and rhythmic groove.
