The Hectors Mixtape
[THM006]
DJ Void (Error404)

1) Tell us about yourself…..
I’m [Erin Carroll] a student from Cumbernauld, that studies popular music at Edinburgh Napier, where I play the bass. Most of the time is mwi and working on my DJing and my night club Error404.

2) How did you get into music and DJing?
Told myself ages ago, whatever I do in life, as long as I’m partying; I love dancing as much as DJing. I had never listened to that type of music before the months coming up to my 18th birthday, and when my pal’s brought their CDJs to my bday gaff I decided to buy my own set (Korg Kaoss DJ controllers lol). All of a sudden I was sucked into the eternal void of dance music. I love the vibe and community dance music creates, and at the end of the day, it’s a sweet life to have a good time all the time.

3) Who/what are your favourite DJs/producers/labels?
Personally, I don’t look for labels, I look for sound. My taste is music is really wide: bassline, ukg, techno, house… but my style is predominantly tech house. As a bassist, I love the bass; I love the conga drums layered over each over to create that rolling, tribal sound; I love mad noises but honestly all I want are party vibes for any occasion. I don’t believe in playing tunes under 126BPM - in my club night I encourage DJs to not play ‘warm-up’ sets - and as a lover of all the styles, I believe in DJs playing the set they want to play. It adds dynamic to the short 4 hours we are given, like a roll of a dice.

4) Tell us about your mix…..
Recorded on Pioneer XDJ-RX - 127BPM
Wanted to go big bassy tech house party vibes, but can’t drag myself away from percussion. I personally believed my mixing was safe in this mix. I got nostalgic at the end: some of my favourite Bainfield classics, and many tracks that remind me of Hector’s House.

5) What are your future plans?
During and after uni, I intend on being a DJ and session bassist with perhaps a part time job. As much as I enjoy bass, it is [more of a hobby] than DJing, which I fully pursue. Along with my night club, I put my heart and soul into the [life]path of sweet thumping beats.
