Sesentayuno (Groovers / blanc)

1) Tell us about yourself…..
Birth Name is Craig Strachan. DJ Name Sesentayuno, meaning 61 in Spanish. A name I was given while playing at a largely Spanish flat party due to the number on my T-shirt (which was actually 67 but nobody really knows. The extent of the party made me think it was 61 for some reason…). Work as a breakfast waiter in a hotel, which is ideal as I get to spend the rest of the day working on my music.

2) How did you get into music and DJing?
I first started DJing 4 years, with my first ever experience on a set of decks being in the Liquid Rooms on a Wednesday. I use to PR for the night and got taught by the DJ playing that night; Craig Wilson, who I was good friends with at the time. I managed to blag my way into playing a set with Bruno, the DJ the following Wednesday. Had no idea about USBs or any software at the time so I burnt 4 CDs and he let me do the warm up set. Quite lucky really!

3) Who/what are your favourite DJs/producers/labels?
My favourite DJ of all time is Marco Carola. He runs Music On at Amnesia in Ibiza and in locations over the world. He’s an incredible DJ and been a huge influence on my style. Favourite producers right now are Vincenzo D’amico & Mirco Caruso. I was lucky enough to play B2B with Vincenzo when we brought him over for the Groovers 1st birthday & I’m hoping to release on Mirco’s label - 2Drop by the end of this year.

4) Tell us about your mix…..
Straight up grooves, was recorded about 4 hours into playing on audacity at an afterparty using XDJ1000s & a DJM900 Nexus mixer. My style is very percussive, with predominantly Italian producers featuring on it. There are a fair amount of unreleased promos featured on it too.

5) What are your future plans?
Do as much production and release on as many labels as possible really over the winter period. I’ve taken a break from promoting Groovers, I’ve got my 2 best mates Oscar and Dils running the shows for the foreseeable future. I’m still going to be playing at the nights as a resident but focussing all my energy on making music. Going to work as hard as I can to release as much music as possible and hopefully break through as an artist over the coming years. Spending the season in Ibiza next summer.

6) Anything else you want to mention.
If you believe it then you can achieve it!

Mix tracklist:
I could probably only mention a few of the tracks. I have a massive Grooves playlist that I play from but most of the tracks I don’t know by name.
