On the Move - Freddy K
The life of a DJ is rarely one of stillness. Constantly on the move, travelling across the globe to and from gigs, record bags in hand. But what do our best-loved DJs listen to when they’re not picking their set selections?
For our next On The Move, Freddy K takes the reins. The self-described “techno activist” and boss of KEY Vinyl selects the tracks he listens to when he’s not playing or planning his sets.
"Usually, I listen to some music when I am in the hotel, during the shower or when I'm getting ready. Something that motivates me or just something that makes me feel at home, and definitely not techno. During flights, I usually don't want to listen to music, except if I need to listen to some new demos for my label KEY Vinyl. I prefer watching something instead." - Freddy K
Depeche Mode's cover of David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’, post-punk from Sleaford Mods and Billy Nomates, and Ennio Morricone’s theme for Sergio Leone's 1984 classic crime film Once Upon A Time In America all feature. An absorbing selection. Get stuck in.
Sleaford Mods ft. Billy Nomates - Mork n Mindy
I literally love this music duo. They are so real, so unique and so raw. This song always puts me in a good mood, starting to move like a wanker in my hotel room hahaha.
Depeche Mode - Heroes (David Bowie cover)
I love the original and the voice of Dave Gahan is incredible...it always makes me think about a lot of beautiful things we have in life.
Colle Der Fomento - Polvere
My favorite Italian hip hop band, from Rome I grew up with them and I know them personally. This song is one of the most emotional songs I know. It is so deep and it reminds me how we are fragile, the friends lost on the way and that every moment is unique and special.
The Exploited - Cop Cars
Ne-nah, Ne-nah Cops are after me...The Exploited and the hate for the cop cars...always.
B12 - Obsessed
This track and all the album, everything about B12 always makes me feel good. It is part of my musical roots, forever and ever.
Ennio Morricone - Once Upon A Time In America (Deborah's theme)
When I want to have some tears in my eyes...I have to listen to this beauty from the MAESTRO.
Detroit's Filthiest - Pillow Talk
When you're walking or when you are doing something...the best soundtrack. One of my favorite artists and labels Casa Voyager...absolutely another level, soooo classy.
Sleaford Mods - Tweet Tweet Tweet
It is time for pogo!
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
When I am in the mood for beautiful memories...I am so happy that I grew during that time.
Billy Nomates - No
She is sooo good! That British dirty touch that makes me feel good.
