This week on the FMB Mixtape series we welcome Mr. Sosa, the Bournemouth native DJ and producer whose project was born out of the Lofi house era with hooky, dreamlike, broken-beat electronica. After selling out shows across Europe, he’s signed with S.C.D.D and Platoon where he’ll release his first album late 2024. We first caught up with him to find out about the mix and what he’s been up to lately…

I’ve been working on my debut album, it’s been in the works for a while but I’m really trying to hone in on my sound and create a timeless piece of art. I think that’s always going to take more effort and longer to do than you originally think, but hopefully I’ll be able to put it out into the world soon!

I recorded this mix in my home studio on my cdj’s, I’m fortunate enough to have a great setup that I’ve been building for quite a while, as I’m also a mastering engineer and spend almost everyday in my studio engineering and producing.

The main idea was to debut lots of tunes and edits I’ve been making over the last year or so that I haven’t had many chances to test and some gems I’ve been digging. I went for big bassy energy and even some hardgroove as I love playing samba/hardgroove drums in my sets, they just get people going. I crammed a lot of music into this mix and it’s basically a snippet of where my heads at in the club scene right now.

I’m looking forward to playing some festivals like Boardmasters and Hijacked alongside some really great artists and hopefully travelling to some new places. But of course making more music and finishing the album is also a priority!
