ATFC, a house hold name in House music. A chart topping DJ and producer, and the guy that brought us ‘Bad Habit’ and ‘Sleep talk’. If you are a dj you will almost certainly have played one of his records or danced at a club he had been headlining at. Now 15 years on Aydin The Funky Chile is still pushing the boundaries of Dance music with his innovative sound and constant releases. Beatport voted him House producer of the year 08 and 09 and Pete Tong recently showcased his essential mix.

So it’s not surprising that he has been chosen by Defected Records to record their next mix, a soundtrack that is representative of London’s underground dance floors. After all he has lived his whole life there and knows the scene intimately. Here he shares some of the cities secrets, reflects on the music scene and tell us why the London is arguably the clubbing capital of the world.

OK we know your productions have been Beatport no.1′s of late, but for those people who have come across you for the first time please could you summarise some of your biggest musical achievements to date. Try not to be too modest and tell us how it really is.
ATFC: I guess my biggest achievement is that I’m still here. Over the past 15 years I’ve seen many dj’s and producers come and go. I’m often wondering ‘where are they now?’ and then put my head in my hands when I realise they must have had to get a proper job! That would kill me! I’ve tried to adapt to musical fashions without chasing too hard and I think that may be the key. Specifically though, I’ve had 3 UK Top 40 hits and even appeared on TOTP twice – I’m a member of a dying race as far as that’s concerned. I ran a successful record label ‘Onephatdeeva’ for many years and have djed in places such as Southend, Sydney, Miami and Minsk and most cities in between The Radio 1 Essential mix was one and this album is most definitely another.

How come you haven’t jumped on the minimal bandwagon or any other of the uncountable house music sub genres? What is it about house music that has made you so faithful to it’s sound?
Well your question quite rightly implies that House Music is the all-encompassing term for the different styles. So, I’ll go back to what I said earlier. I have jumped on many bandwagons in a way, just not obviously, and always within the realms of ‘House’. I’ve never strayed too far from the centre line and that’s where you happen to please the most people – it makes sense. I hope that djs who sit in all camps have played an ATFC record at least once. Over the years I’ve dabbled in electro, minimal, disco, tribal and deep house to name a few but never jumped in with both feet. I believe the moment a producer changes their style really dramatically, they not only lose their core fan base but also attract murmurs of suspicion from fans of the genre they’re trying to imitate. It’s best to take the best elements from any style and combine them with your own. That way you create your own ‘sound’ and please a lot more people, including yourself.

Why is London so important with regards to influencing the rest of the world?
Of course London is a huge influence worldwide on almost every part of life, so it’s only natural that that should apply to music as well. It’s one of the most diverse cities culturally and the capital of one of the most influential countries in the world.

Do you think London’s club scene is still leading the way or has Berlin put a stop to all that?
Hmm it’s difficult to say because I don’t actually play in London that much. I guess Fabric and MOS are still world leaders but I’m yet to experience Matter. London is always going to influence and initiate purely because of the diversity of cultures and therefore music in the city. Places like Berlin might spawn a fad like ‘minimal’ but they can’t sustain it due to the simple fact of their size and cultural diversity. London is best when it takes ideas from other cities and germinates them – not when it comes up with the idea itself – what is UK Funky all about I ask you? And UK garage before that – come on lets be honest, it was shit.

You have been of invaluable service to the house scene over the past decade. How do you think your sound has evolved in that time? Be as specific as you can be.
My ‘sound’ has got slowly tougher over the ten years but then that’s because peoples taste have dictated that. Ultimately I have to feed a family and while I don’t think I’ve ever sold out (not completely anyway) part of my job is making as many people move as possible. I also used to be very reliant on sampling but that’s more difficult today. Before you could use a hefty sample in a track, press up a cheeky 1000 white labels and test the water. If the record generated a buzz you could be confident that clearing the sample would pay off. Now almost all of my records are 100% my ‘own work’ – I may cover other records but rarely use samples. Also the technical aspect of how I work has changed quite a bit. I used to have an expensive acoustically treated studio with fancy outboard gear and vocal booth and a digital desk etc etc. I suffered a bit from the kitchen sink syndrome and my records were quite busy, and while that’s fine, when I moved to Spain I downscaled my equipment a lot and took things back to basics. Just me a keyboard and a Mac. If you listen to my music over the past 2 years I think you can hear the fact I’ve been having a lot more fun in the sun.

Tell me about your own productions that you have included in the mix. Why do you feel they work so well? There is a brand new ATFC production on there too. Tell us about that.
I actually only have 2 of my productions on there. The Conversation and, the forthcoming, Computer Love. I think that’s relatively little compared to other dj/producer mix comps, but then I do have a couple of other remixes on there too. They work because it’s a pretty good reflection of what I may play in a club. It’s strange because when I did the last mix cd – Goa I think, the mastering engineer called me up to tell me how much he could hear of me in the mix – even though I’d only used a couple of my own tracks. He said that all the records in the mix had that ATFC sound. I suppose my taste runs throughout including what music by other producers I choose to include.
Computer Love is the next production of mine to come on Defected and I’m in the process of recording a vocal for it. This is the very early instrumental version that’ll probably never get a full release!

What have you done with this mix? What is the vibe and tell me about some of the tracks that you have included are particularly working it on the dance floor for you right now.
I tried, as usual, to make it a good listen for the car, the party and the ipod – there’s possibly a couple of songs in there for sexy time too!
It’s a good reflection of ATFC the dj and the producer and, in the process, represents a side of Defected too. Dennis Ferrers ‘Hey Hey’ was the only record that was definitely going to be included all the way through the mixing process. The mix changed quite a bit over a few weeks as new tracks appeared and old tracks resurfaced. It was quite difficult because there aren’t many decent vocal records out there at the moment and I HAD to include a few. I got around this by doing special edits with existing acapellas and older tracks to create something new from the combination. My edit of Helvetic Nerds and Juan Kidd & Baumgartner works particularly well by giving Now You’re Gone a whole new spin, as does East Youngs ‘Reveal’ with the acapella of Erick Morillos ‘I Get Lifted’. The Conversation is another peak point in the mix but even that wasn’t definitely included until the last minute.
I didn’t set out for the usual chilled out daytime cd1 and banging nightime cd2 but rather let them take their own direction during the mixing process. The way it turned out, cd1 is quite hands in the air and euphoric while cd2 is a little dirtier and groovier. It’s not an upfront selection of hot new tracks or a showcase of classy forgotten ones but a bit of a concoction of both.

Are there any exclusives that we should know about?
The edits and mash ups are my biggest weapons exclusivity wise but of course Computer Love is one, Copyright’s Someday has never been heard before and DJ Chus & Rob Mirage’s ‘Still Beatin’ is a also great record forthcoming on…guess what label??

Finally – what’s your best general London tip for anyone visiting?
My favourite view of London is from Waterloo Bridge. I used to walk over the bridge from Waterloo Station into Covent Garden every day when I worked at The Royal Opera House. From the bridge you can see the financial heart of London with Canary Wharf and St Pauls, ahead of you is Theatreland and Drury Lane, to the left is the Political centre at Westminster with Big Ben and Parliament and just behind you is The South Bank, which is arguably the cultural heart of the city. I don’t think there are many views, in any country, which encapsulate as much as this one.

Roog (Hardsoul) – “We wanted to include all the new sounds we bring, from traditional soulful through to what people call ‘minimal’ today. We wanted to put that all in the mix and not just be about only one sound, so we decided to go across the board. It goes from traditional soulful to minimal tech-house and everything in-between because we’re into so many different aspects of house, and we wanted to show that on the CD“.

Hardsoul are Holland’s hardest working DJ’s with their punishing tour schedule often amounting to over 30 gigs per month. They are Hollands best known DJ’s. Hardsoul’s Roog was voted No.1 House DJ of Holland for three consecutive years by Dutch dance magazine; Basic Groove and they have been responsible for classic dancefloor moments such as ‘Back Together’ and ‘Self Religion’. Their mix brings us some of their best work to date including Hardsoul presents Greg van Bueren ‘Waiting for U’ (Hardsoul Reconstruction). This is the big hypnotising opening track on their mix. Also check out their own re-rub of the Ibiza ’09 season’s biggest breakthrough track Michel Cleis featuring Totó La Momposina ‘La Mezcla’ (Roog Edit), already being dropped by many house DJ’s. Finally and most spectacularly Hardsoul have collaborated with their fellow Dutch DJ colleagues Chocolate Puma to produce a special exclusive track for the mix; ‘R2G2’.

Chocolate Puma have been responsible for a number of club hits over the years including ‘Give It Up’ under their The Good Men Monika, ‘I Wanna Be U’ which reached No.6 in the UK charts, ‘A Star Is Born’ and ‘Always And Forever’. They are hugely respected artists who produce the finest dance music Amsterdam has to offer. It is these artists that convey the current sound of the Amsterdam underground.

“There are 9 Chocolate Puma tracks on this mix, but there’s also a few tracks under other names that are some of our aliases, such as the track from Jark Prongo and the first track by Fresh Tunes. The latter was actually licensed to Strictly Rhythm back in 1994. We made a special edit of it for this record, especially for the compilation. This compilation is a good example of the sound of Chocolate Puma when we play out”. Rene (Chocolate Puma).

Auf der zweiten CD treibt der weltbeannte Grant Nelson sein unwesen! Nach seiner ausdauernden DJ World Tour 2007, konzentriert sich Grant Nelson wieder auf seine Projekte und die Studioarbeit an seinem Album. Sein Beitrag zur House Affair 3 erlaubt einen Einblick, was diesen Mann bewegt, der die Massen bewegt. Sein hervorragender Mix aus 20 Tracks featured seine neue Single “Binaural Beat” und präsentiert seine erstaunlichen Skills als DJ: vor allem wie er Groove Armada’s Hymne “Love Sweet Sound” und Son of RAW’s funky Rakete “A Black Man in Space” zu Einem verschmelzen lässt – and then you know what time it is!

Falls Ihr uns nicht glaubt, darauf sind wir vorbereitet. Unter allen Leser die, gleich hier unten, einen Kommentar hinterlassen, verlosen wir zwei “A House Affair 3” Doppel-CD Compilation von Francesco Diaz und Grant Nelson. Ihr könnt bis zum 9. Februar 18:00 Uhr einen Kommentar eintragen. Erlaubt ist nur ein Kommentar pro Person.

Statement für diese Doppel-CD: „It’s all about house music. And it always will be.“

Diesmal warten die Macher aber nicht die WMC ab und veröffentlichen die Hits der Konferenz auf dem Sampler im Nachhinein, sondern definieren gleich selber was die Floorfiller sein werden! Alles was in der House-Szene Rang und Namen hat ist auf dieser Compilation vertreten!

Wir haben vor kurzem eine erste Promo Compilation ins Haus bekommen und sind begeistert. Eine echte Defected House-Compilation wie wir uns das gewohnt sind. Gleich drei Silberlinge wurden mit dem besten was Housemusic im Moment zu bieten hat bespielt. Jede CD wurde einem andern Künstler zusammengestellt und abgemischt. Die drei verantwortlichen DJs sind Aaron Ross, Simon Dunmore (Chef von Defected) und ATFC. Von der ersten bis zur dritten CD ist eine spürbare Steigerung eingebaut. Aaron Ross lässt es gemütlich angehen, während Dunmore dann die Stimmung langsam angeheizt mit Tracks wie beispielsweise “Gotta have House” von Kneep Deep und Dj Spen und vermittelt somit gekonnt zu ATFC welche es dann richtig knallen lassen! “Speed up” von Funkerman, “My Joy” von Quentin Harris und “Rise” von Maverick sind nur ein paar wenige Beispiele.

Wer also die Miami und die legendären Parties verpassen wird oder hat, der kann sich mit dieser Compilation zuhause seine eigene Party nachstellen! Wir von Groovenite.com können diese 3x CD Compilation nur so bewerten: Absoluter Kaufbefehl! Diese drei CDs dürfen in keiner gut sortierten House-Sammlung fehlen. Let’s dance!

Zu den Top-Hits der Compilation zählt Ida Corr vs. Fedde Le Grand “Let Me Think About It”, das auf youtube.com bei 3 Millionen Viewern steht, als Clubhit weltweit abgeräumt hat und mit einem innovativ-funkigen Sound begeistert. Von gleichem Kaliber ist Gold, Diaz & Young Rebels “Don’t You Want Me“, das nur auf ausgesuchten Top-Compilations zu finden ist und mit einem elektro-infizierten Sound überzeugt. Mit dem relaxten Kopfnickersound des Stockholmers John Dahlbäck in “Late Night Worries“, dem 90er House Classic “Degrees Of Motion – Do You Want It Right Now” im aktuellen Gewand des Smax & Gold Dubs, aber auch dem coolen Sound von Senkrechtstarter Deadmau5 “Not Exactly“ beweist Francesco Diaz sein goldenes Händchen für Track-Selektion und Aufbau eines DJ-Sets. Als weiteres Highlight glänzt die isländische Formation Gus Gus mit “Need In Me“. Im dancefloor-orientierten Trick & Kubic Remix gehen die Vocals der charismatischen Sängerin Earth einmal mehr unter die Haut.
