Significant Other shares an exploratory, soundsystem-geared mix and speaks to Michael McKinney about his shifting relationship with dance music, the impact of pain on his process, and the inspiration that comes from slowing down"I had a lot of fun recording this mix. It consists of road-tested favourites from the past year, new finds and some older go-tos. Recently I’ve been trying to incorporate more off-grid, non-dance music into club sets—playing around with layering unquantised styles to get that nice rough around the edges feel. I think it’s a good representation of what I try to do in a club setting—rapid cycling through different genres and styles in a way that throws you around a bit but remains danceable. All of it indebted to and geared towards the soundsystem. A lot of three-deck action and healthy dub siren usage throughout. Thanks for inviting me to contribute to the series!" - Significant OtherTracklist + Q&A: https://mixmag.net/feature/the-mix-030-significant-other-soundystem-new-york-interview-club
