Mugwump's history stretches far... over the years he's released on labels like Kompakt, R&S and Gigolo and remixed the likes of The Asphodells, CCC - and Bob Sinclair no less. Just a cursory glance at his back catalogue illustrates the diverse nature of Mugwump's approach to production, combining a variety of influences from 80's pop, dub and new-beat with disco and techno - let's call the overarching flavour 'mutant disco'.
Now, with Subfield, Mugwump's own label and his rather fine Leftorium clubs he's solidifying this diversity. We thought it was about time we asked him to lay down his Ransom Note mix mandate and we found out a bit more about the Mugwump.

What would be your dream setting to record a mix: Location/system/format?
I'm not too excited by the prospective of 'recording' a mix but starting a varied 8 hours set in the morning at Panoramabar would have me in a great mood I reckon. I love that club, played there a few times for Playhouse & Kompakt, partied there every single time after I DJ'd in Berlin... It totally reminds me of the freedom we had in the Boccaccio with its ultra late closing on Monday evenings. Also last year I played in the garden of a Sao Paulo museum for around 3000 people, the setting was nuts...
