History

I have always done mixtapes. Before I had dj equipment I made what we in Sweden called ‘Blandband’, mixtapes, for my friends. Recorded on tape from vinyl with start and stop-technique. When I got my first double-deck cassette recorder, it got a little more advanced.

In the early 90′s I got myself some decks and a Vestax  Trix-mixer, and sometimes I made tapes at home and sometimes I spent hours at a local nightclub, trying to record the perfect mix while the cleaners did their work.

Then came the cd’s. I made them for my friends and when I started dj out a lot we formed a dj group called 4SSS. 4 seasons sound system. We made one cd each, burned more than 100 copies and printed out labels and covers and shared the cd’s at gigs. A package of 4 quality deep house-cd’s. These were also downloaded 3-400 times each.

Last few years I have tried to do more mixes, since I’m not really  djing anymore. Ableton Live has helped me a lot, but I have now upgraded my kit to Traktor Pro, with some controllers and a soundcard.

Fredagsmixen is where I will publish all my new mixes, and I will also try to get as much guestmixes as possible from my friends, both known and unknown djs. I will also post links to great sets from around the world and the occasional Spotify-playlist.

If you are interested in putting your guestmix on Fredagsmixen, upload it to Soundcloud and send me the link. All the Fredagsmixen and Guestmixes will also go on the podcast that is up on iTunes.

As the name, Fredagsmixen (The Friday Mix), suggests, I will try to get a new mix up every friday. It might take a while to get there.
