Gratts - 5 Mag Issue 208 Cover Mix

"The reason I make the records I make is mostly to play them in my DJ sets," Belgian-born DJ Gratts tells 5 Mag in this issue's interview.

"That doesn't mean they need to be dancefloor tracks. I play a lot of slower, mellower, weirder, deeper stuff out."

"I am obsessed with tracks that work in different environments. That is true class to me: music that works in a club but that also has enough depth to be played on the radio or in a bar."

Gratts' cover mix is "a mixed bag of tracks I've been playing lately. A couple of bits of my own thrown in for good measure. Some CD digs. Some double copy action. The last track of the mix is a bit of an oddball '80s Aussie jam I've been playing.

"This is very much what it would sound like if you hear me play."
