The Hectors Mixtape
[THM012]
Chris Roux (Roux Records / Eyeangle Records)

1) Tell us about yourself….. 
Real name Chris Little, I’m 25 from Inverness currently staying in Livingston. I’m a photographer, mainly portraits and street style as well as a DJ & producer. instagram.com/iamchrislittle

2) How did you get into music and DJing?
Undoubtedly I get my music taste from my Dad. He opened my eyes to a lot of different music from a young age which I like to think can be heard in my sets. I got my first set of decks at 13 and my first record was Armand van Helden - My My My (still a banger). My first gig was at City Nightclub for Forth One’s unders night, I was on the radio for some competition actually. Me & Liam Doc used to mess around through our teens producing anything; acoustic stuff, hip-hop, dubstep but it was all shite! I’ve only recently got my act together producing which shows with two labels on the go between us, Eyeangle Records & Roux Records.

3) Who/what are your favourite DJs/producers/labels?
Where to start? Scotland smashes it obviously… The Club in Paisley is like nothing I’ve ever experienced, the vibe is on point from start to finish and I’m delighted to get to play there as often as I do. Running Back & Gerd Janson have a big influence on me as does Seth Troxler. He was the first DJ I saw in Ibiza at DC10 and his sound has stuck with me ever since. Hunee & Jayda G are bossing it as well just now.

4) Tell us about your mix…..
This mix was recorded in my bedroom after a morning of digging in Underground Solush’n. People who know me & have seen me play out will know my love for vinyl & disco so I’ve tried to stick as true to my roots as possible with this mix and keep it as “all vinyl” (even though I hate that term) and soulful as possible. It features some unreleased tracks from myself & from my label Roux Records.

5) What are your future plans?
I’m really excited to see what the future holds for my label. I have some real talent lined up to release which is brilliant. The boys at Eyeangle are smashing it as well and the parties are top notch - long may it continue!

6) Anything else you want to mention…..
My debut release on Roux Records “Roumix 01” was released on the 20th April and can be purchased via our Bandcamp here; rouxrecords.bandcamp.com. Keep an eye out for future releases, there are plenty in the pipeline.
