Into The Woods with Ben Galt

The next edition of our Into The Woods mix series arrives courtesy of Berlin Community Radio resident Ben Galt. 

The Israeli born selector presents a mix that harks back to his early teenage years when he and his friends would drive to the outskirts of the country to stumble upon raves in the woods never knowing what to expect.

Ben's mix traverses through the experimental territories of Pan Daijing, timbral house from Lutto Lento, pure gold breaks from French production trio J-Zbel, a fresh slice of Jules Venturini latest EP on Whities and finishes up with Cooly G's 'Up In My Head' on Hyperdub. Sit back and let this soak in.

To offer further insight into his mix, track selection and overall atmosphere, Ben wrote a few words that you can read down below.

"I wanted to put a mix which represents my own early experiences of being in the woods, or more precisely a mix which reflects the feeling of driving to the woods. 

As a teenager I used to drive with friends outside of Tel Aviv to raves in the woods of the north side of the country. Every time on the way I had a rollercoaster of emotions rotating in me - enthusiasm and excitement, but also some pressure and uncertainty in parts. 

We were young and never really knew what to expect so while driving I would always ask myself and wonder what’s going on and what’s going to happen later. At the same time I also tried to include some of the tunes I’ve been enjoying playing lately and make it club orientated to a degree."
