- The DJ will release his newest mix on Renaissance in February.
Renaissance wunderkind James Zabiela will return to the label later this year with his newest mix in the imprint's Masters Series.
As Zabiela previously blogged, the mix will seek to give you a chance to hear the world through the DJ's ears. Zabiela carried around a microtrack recorder over the course of a month and subtly integrated things like the eye scanning machine at Heathrow and a baggage belt in Vilnius into the mix. The music on hand? It's a varied mix that goes from Boards of Canada to Modeselektor and Paul Woolford to Extrawelt over the course of two discs, proving (we can only assume) his master status.
For more on the mix, you can check out Zabiela's continuing blog over at the Renaissance site, which is now on part two and acts as a director's commentary of sorts. In it, you'll find out which track is Z's favorite, why he regards himself as "a wet fish of a man" and why he'd rather forget a weekend in Manchester.
