Mantissa Mix 283: Katya

For the 283rd edition of our mix series we present the impervious Katya. Kindred resident and regular party starter, Katya has a love for all things electro. I wanted this mix to reflect the sort of sounds you may expect to see me play in a club setting at the moment — spooky techno & electro really do it for me, especially if there’s a vocoder involved, so my sets are always infused with a bit of doom & gloom. I play happy stuff too but the moodiness gets to my soul more than any other style of music. Although the mix is punchy, I’ve kept it under 130 and stripped it back so it’s listenable during work hours. I feel like in the past, my guest mixes were probably too intense to listen to unless you were getting ready to go out, that’s something I’ll be doing a lot less of this year. Equally, I’m hoping this mix is the beginning of me coming out of my imposter syndrome fuelled creative block. Enjoy ! @k_atya
