The Hectors Mixtape
[THM018]
gmac (seventyseven)

1) Tell us about yourself….. 
[Gregor MacDonald], 18 years old, from Edinburgh, doing engineering at Napier and 1/3 of the collective seventyseven, which I run with a couple mates from uni.

2) How did you get into music and DJing?
My love for music definitely came from my dad, who loves all kind of genres. It was electronic music which I properly took from him and really started listening to though. He would play stuff like orbital, underworld etc and then even some newer stuff like Jon Hopkins. I began to dig for my own stuff and grew a love for house and techno (mainly techno), which led me me to go to nights like Hector’s and Headset. Going to these nights then inspired me to get into production and later DJing followed.

3) Who/what are your favourite DJs/producers/labels?
For a long while now it’s been all the stuff coming out the UK which has been doing it for me. In particular, labels like Hessle Audio, Livity Sound, Timedance, Whities, The Trilogy Tapes - there’s so much quality stuff coming out at the moment. In terms of DJs, I really like Ben UFO, Call Super, Objekt, Joy Orbison, Tasker, Or:la, Jon Rust, Avalon Emerson - there’s quite a lot I could name.

4) Tell us about your mix…..
With the mix I wanted to showcase the type of stuff I like to play at Hector’s and keep a balance between house and techno.

5) What are your future plans?
At the moment I’m currently focusing on seventyseven which has come a really long way over a short time all thanks to Hector’s, who have let us play at numerous parties, made us residents and have generally just supported us throughout. We are hoping to get our own party organised at some point too.

  1. Anything else you want to mention…..
    Make sure to come to Tweak in the house this Saturday with headliners Kornel Kovacs, Domenic Cappello, Big Miz, and DABJ. We will also be playing the closing slot in the ‘hectors and friends room’ so come and check us out.
