Dutch producer Nachtbraker, real name Maurits Verwoerd, is one of Amsterdam’s finest rising DJ’s and producers. Having gone on to release records on the likes of Dirt Crew and Detroit Swindle’s Heist Recordings, including collaborations with the likes of Max Graef and Frits Wentink, Nachtbraker is slowly bringing people around to his way of thinking.
For the tenth edition of the Farr Festival x Inverted Audio podcast series Nachtbraker serves up an hour’s mix of deep soulful house and disco guaranteed to brighten up your week. Featuring music from Thatmanmonkz, The Revenge, Matt Karmil, Borrowed Identity and Tommy Vicari Jnr this podcast offers a glimpse into the world of Nachtbraker ahead of his set at Farr Festival this July at the Heist Recordings stage.
I made this mix home alone on a Thursday night. As I always like to do is feature the music, which I listened to or played out recently in the mix. It’s usually also some sort of an easy way to have my favourite music for that period of time in a continuous mix. I put it on my phone, get on my bike and ride to my studio, or take a walk to the supermarket.
It features music I find interesting and must be heard. My mixes are always kind of progressive by means of tempo. So they start slow and end faster. However, I tend to go deeper as the mix evolves. This comes naturally to me because the more time I spend playing and listening. I want to go deeper. When I dig for new music, the longer it takes the deeper the records are that I pick. When I produce music, the longer I spend time in the studio, the deeper my music tends to get.
I’m very much looking forward to be playing at Farr Festival this Summer with my Heist buddy’s Detroit Swindle, Frits Wentink and Nebraska. This is the first time we are all playing at the same party, and it promises to be good as first times always tend to be interesting. Since I’m with Heist from the very beginning, its cool to see how it has grown in popularity and I think I speak for the whole Heist crew when I say I feel honoured that Heist has got its own stage at such a major festival as Farr! Hope to see all you dancers there!
