Sweetestcape approaches music like a living archive. Recently, he reorganised his library into mind music, body music and soul music, three categories that say everything about the way he thinks as a selector.
Sweetestcape’s sound moves through deep bouncy house, hypnotic percussive techno, dub techno, packed with soul, groove, and led by rhythm and pure instinct. What he loves most about the selection process is what can only be revealed overtime. Old playlists and crates become signals of past energies, past moods, past iterations of taste. For him, digging back through music is a way of tracing personal
Asked about his deadliest weapon, he pauses. “That’s a loaded question.” Then comes the real answer: “So In Love With You” by Duke, the Full Intention remix. For him, it’s the perfect song. That choice says a lot. Sweetestcape’s taste leans toward records that do more than hit hard; they seduce, endure and leave a trace.
As for what he tries to conjure when he plays, the answer depends on the room. The party, the space and the dance floor always decide the route. But if there's one feeling that runs through it all, its groove. Something hypnotic, responsive and deeply felt.
Sweetestcape doesn't force a set. He reads, remembers and moves.
