Very pleased to finally reveal this “Influences” mix for Oddity Radio, a radio station and more that’s been set up by the man with the impeccable taste – Alexis Le Tan.
The mix features a carefully curated selection of artists that have perhaps resonated with me more deeply than others over the years; from such pioneering legends like Roedelius, The Residents, Conrad Schnitzler, K. Leimer and Beaver & Krause to later influences like Tim Love Lee, Legion of Green Men, Colder, Dada Munchamonkey and Defenders of the Faith right up to the present with contemporaries like Sascha Funke & Niklas Wandt, Raiders of the Lost Arp, Albino Sound, Len Leise and lots, lots more.
It’s a 30-track journey that I’m very pleased with and it was recorded well over a year ago and has been waiting in the sidelines for this project by Alexis to get off the ground. Finally that’s happened and you can hear it for yourselves.

“At first I decided to only pick records that existed prior to 2015, the year the label started. In other words I interpreted it as using the mix as an opportunity to showcase what HAD inspired its birth. Then I thought, fuck this weird limitation I’ve imposed on myself….there is so much great music being released NOW that I want to put on it. Besides, the label is constantly evolving so it would be weird to say the influences stopped after the label started. So in the end it encapsulated as much as I could possibly bring into it and despite its diversity, it’s still quite niche…” (GKM)
