Interview with Atropos
********************
Good morning Greg!

➢ I hope you agree to answer a few fun and random questions to share with our listeners?

Good morning my J ! You hope well… I agree !

➢ To start you off tell us what song puts you in a good mood in the morning?

Actually a track that has just been released is making my mornings. It’s «Painting of Relaxation» from Kalabrese and Kayak. I love the flow, the voice and it’s a 15 minutes track, perfect for walking to my workplace. Otherwise it's a song (that will be hard to dethrone) «Pour Aisha» from S.A.M. I listen to it almost everyday and especially in the morning. You should try the entire album.

➢ Tell us briefly why the name Atropos ?

The Acherontia Atropos known as the death’s-head hawkmoth came to me because I love moths and what they represent, as a spirit animal : to never despair and that there is always light available when we seek it.

➢ You have played a lot of b2b's tell us one or two things you that love playing b2b's that you don't get when just DJ'ing alone?

I love playing b2b’s and obviously sometimes you have deeper connections with some people you play with. When you really fit with someone while doing a b2b you inspire each other, the mix is crazy ! you don’t know the next track but you have to choose the next one. It’s a great complicit time !

➢ 2020 has been a difficult year for the music scene, how has it changed in your hometown and what do you think will change in the future?

It's hard to put to the side our social relations. I'm staying positive like always and regarding the future the choice is not always given but there will be a lot of good that will come as a result of this crisis. Like with all bad things actually.

➢ Lastly, regarding this mix, can you tell us a bit about your thought process behind the tracks you chose?

For this set, and for many others, I take a visual picture my current tracks of the moment but also of my mood and my music crate diggings. This time I am mixing some groovy disco with ketapop all on a downtempo flow.
