Getting on Bandcamp was really cool…once I discovered how to navigate it, I could almost think of a track in my head and just dig hard enough to find the sound that I wanted. Prior to that, I was listening to tons of reggaeton and afrobeat, so I gravitated towards more of those equatorial, hot and humid sounds. Then I dove deep into the leftfield/UK funky weird stuff. I guess that was the type of music I sought out first, and that directed me towards labels like All Centre and Livity Sound. It blew my mind, the way she was able to piece together a mix that cycled through so many different emotions, moods, and genres. Tristan: I think my biggest inspiration, and probably the whole reason I got so motivated to get into electronic music, was seeing Petra play, and just the wide range of leftfield bass and new sounds I hadn’t heard before. Jacob: How did you find that entry point, where you could start digging and finding tracks that ended up in this mix? I was into metal, energy to the dubstep and drum and bass coming out at the time, but I never dove into those…so it's only been about a year. Tristan: I guess I was always on the periphery…in college, I started re-exposing myself to dance music…I listened to trance in middle school, but I never dove into it seriously. Jacob: You're fairly new to DJing, right? We recently sat down with Encino, better known as Tristan Hafner, to talk about his flyover set.
