BALANS020 - Tommy Four Seven

Tommy Four Seven, the crownprince of Chris Liebing's CLR empire, made a very special mix prior to his BALANS show in Melkweg, Amsterdam. Tommy and BALANS head honcho Darko Esser have history together, with Tommy releasing on his Wolfskuil imprint and them remixing each other's tunes. Mr Four Seven has been making waves with his uncompromising releases, resulting in the epic debutalbum that is 'Primate'. His relentless, dynamic and raw livesets have made him many fans worldwide. This mix is a perfect example of what Tommy is capable of

As always, we asked him a couple of questions prior to his gig next week:

01.What is you relationship with Balans?

I consider Darko Esser a good friend, we've worked together in the past and we continue to support each other.

02.What do you do to try and stay in balance? Any tips & secrets you would like to share with us night folks?

I've found eating a vegan diet and running during the week helps balance the crazy weekends.

03.About the podcast, can you tell us the story behind the mix?

It's pretty much a full on dancefloor mix, recorded fresh after the weekend.

04.What gear did you use to make the Balans podcast?

Traktor, Macbook Pro, 2 x A&H 1D Controllers, 92 A&H Mixer, alcohol.

05.What do you have in store for us (gigs/releases) the coming months?

This weekend is all about Holland. Friday for the Balans party in Amsterdam with Shifted who is also my neighbour here in Berlin so it's always a laugh. Saturday I'll be with Sandwell District at 'Have A Nice Day Festival' and then of course the after party.

Release wise, my remix for Truss on Sigha's Our Circula Sound label is out now on wax and soon on digital. The remix features as the penultimate track on the mix.
