Cosmix 0.6 comes from Mat Playford – music to steal spaceships to.
The self confessed keyboard and synth addict gets very spacey.
Cosmix interview:
Tell us about the mix
Music to steal spaceships to.
How did you approach making it?
You kind of only get this music straight from the artists themselves, or from bandcamp. A couple on there are my productions and a couple are from very unknown artists… I made the mix on CDJs and recorded it into protools, then added a few effects.
How would you like for people to feel when they hear this music?
I’d like them to feel what they want. It’s very dreamy. I hope all my hippy mates will like it, and my friends that are in to that kind of thing. I would like people to feel contemplation (open up your mind).
Music is?
The answer.
How has music helped to sculpt and guide you in life?
Apart from friends and family it’s the only thing I have in my life. I sit in a room every day with keyboards and synths and have done since I was 15 years old. Every friend I’ve ever had has an involvement in music, it’s the connection I guess that brings people together.
What does the word ‘cosmic’ mean to you?
Deep space and an understanding of all things natural. I use the word when things connect on a level that is a bit trippy. Another meaning is this: Constellation Observing System for Meteorology and Ionosphere and Climate – COSMIC. Most of my music is named after some sort of space or cosmic relation. For instance my last record was named after a meteor ‘ISON’ and my next record is called ‘Mr Future’, which has a space man on the cover.
Please can you give us a cosmic quote:
“They said if you want her to fall in love with you, you need to make her laugh, problem is every time she laughs its me that falls in love.” Now, you might not think that’s cosmic but an Alien called MORK said it.
What do you think is the role of the DJ in the modern world?.
To entertain people.
How can we make the world a better place?
Get rid of Trading Banks. Be a little more conscious and use technology that is already out there to power your house, studio or form of travel… Big shout out to EGON MUSK.

A music fact?
Most of the first music technology and synths were designed and built from ex military war machines.
A cosmic fact?
NASA found another planet that we could live on the other day. Problem is, our fastest spaceship it would take 25 million years to get there and I for one don’t fancy taking chance with any kind of black hole or any other space and time bending thing.
