The latest mix in our Under The Unfluence series comes from producer and dj Enafos and is a slow paced journey into the wonderful world of 45 singles in 33rpm. The mix includes tracks from a wide range of artist across a broad span of genres including some of his own productions.
Enafos explains the idea behind the mix after the jump
The mix is a blend of edits, shortened or rearranged versions and beats. The common thread or dogma surrounding the whole mix is that all tracks have been played back at 33 RPM, with normal +/-8 pitch range (applied appropriately). The particularly nice thing about 45s is that you can slow them down considerably. Outright horrible tracks can be transformed into lovely sounding pieces of music, when changing pitch and tempo. This is what I have attempted to do. Far from all tracks in this mix are rubbish in their original pitch, but the transformation horrible tracks undergo simply by playing back the record at a slower speed than what was intended, is what I have enjoyed the most.
