Podcast #95 - SÆLEM [FR]

Virtual Underground

Virtual Uderground : How has this SÆLEM story started . SÆLEM : It all started in the middle of the Parisian warehouses where I started discovering tracks then I got some gear and started mixing and producing. It's only been 6 months since I started really learning, right now I just want to improve. Virtual Uderground : Where do you draw your inspiration from? SÆLEM : I am lucky to live in Paris where many international DJs come and where there are excellent schedules every weekend. I can therefore listen to a great diversity of artists and atmospheres. I also have a very good record shop haha big up Techno Import. Virtual Uderground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process? SÆLEM : It's very compulsive. I am constantly digging whether it is in vinyl, on soundcloud in sets. I select tracks with particular atmospheres above all. Once my selection is made, I try to make pairs between harmonically compatible tracks and I build my sets that way. Virtual Uderground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set? SÆLEM : I used a DDJ-1000 and rekordbox pioneer with 1 turntable. I did a combination of digital and vinyl. Virtual Uderground : What are your next plans ? SÆLEM : Currently I just released a new track that is in the mix and available for free download. I will continue to make some individual releases before producing my first EP for 2020 which will serve as a demo for labels. @saelemm Featuring tracks from Dahlia, Mall Grab, Darc Marc, VTSS, D.Dan, Opal, B2, SÆLEM, Swarm Intelligence and others.
