The Sundowner. Mix #26 comes from Colombian DJ and Producer Fabbs on, founder of Plural Musik. His latin and jazz influences since young age are certainly present and strong pillars in the creation of his music and makes his mixes something very special. Check out his fresh new mix and get to know him better in the full interview we had with him.
Inés: Hi Fabian, how are you?
Fabian: Hi Ines, now I’m fine after a little injury I had in my leg. I am in my apartment in Berlin, and because of the recent injury I cannot walk much lately. So I am staying at home for about two months and mostly in my studio where I spend the majority of my time until I am fully recovered.
Inés: Ohh that’s unfortunate to hear, we hope you get better soon! So tell us, what’s your family’s relationship to music? And your home town/area?
Fabian: My hometown is Medellin in Colombia where I was living until the age of 22. I have been involved in music since I was 8 years old, because my father is a bass player and he had an orchestra during my childhood. My father has a large collection of salsa, jazz and American music vinyls from the 80’s which I liked to listen to on his turntables since I was very young. That’s the reason I have a lot of influence from those genres and Latin music in general.
Inés: You are running the music label Plural and the Pluralized Mix Series, tell us how everything started and what was the idea behind Pluralized?
Fabian: Two years after having released the first EP in 2018 was when I realised that I had a good collection of Downtempo, trip hop, future jazz records and music in general not directed to the dance floor. I decided to start with the Pluralized show in order to offer the Plural Audience another side of music that I find very interesting and full of different nuances. The artists that we have invited, as well as myself, have loved being able to discover many songs that we never put much attention on before and explore all those other styles in our collections in order to do the podcasts. The idea of the Pluralized Mix Series is to be able to offer the listener a moment to disconnect from everyday rhythms and listen to something different.
