We’re back with our first podcast of 2026 and happy to welcome Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Nathan Kofi () for episode 69 of the series.
Nathan Kofi has been shaping sound for over a decade, moving between house, techno, ambient and hip-hop influences. With roots in Detroit, Chicago and New York and a strong DIY mindset, his work spans labels, collectives and radio platforms, always guided by curiosity and independence.
On the mix, Nathan shares:
“I was driving in the car and suddenly the track Shazz – Los Illusions (Orange mix) came on. From that moment, I knew I wanted to open this mix with that track. The following tracks are basically selected in that slipstream. It’s not unfamiliar for me to start a mix with the impulse after listening to or experiencing a single track. Obviously, the seed of me prepping this mix was planted already a while ago, and that puts me on alert to open my ears and see when I respond to tracks. In light of that, the preparation of a mix usually starts way ahead before it releases. I really like the idea of tracks growing on me, or influencing me while my mind is on the job.
The vibe captures a trippy 90s house ethos with straightforward grooves. Elements of dub and ambient are my go-to moods. You’ll also notice quite a bit of vocal chops that energise the tracks. My mixing style is delicate and subtle, nothing fancy. It took me two rounds to finish it, which is a good score. I intend to pull a one shot one kill type mix, but that didn’t work out haha. Have your way with it and thanks for the opportunity.”
