In cognitive psychology, 'flow' refers to the mental state of operation in which a person is fully immersed in a feeling of energised focus, full involvement and enjoyment of the activity. Finn Johannsen’s mix has been recorded in flow-state. It closely mirrors his selection style as a club DJ. All relevant records were piled up next to a set of turntables and a mixer, and he went about sorting his mix like a chess player – set one opening move and be prepared for anything, since anything can happen: with 19 more tracks to mix, there are exactly 121.645.100.408.832.000 possible tracklist combinations. Go figure.
A competent DJ thinks several records ahead and anticipates elaborate mix combinations, but with the above magnitude involved, no one would be naive enough to follow a script and expect to win. Any alternative and complex chain of events may be triggered by the feedback of the moment. Deciding what, how and when to mix is where the spontaneous meets the well prepared. We do the math, you just enjoy.
