Press Play #66 - Theo Lawrence

I'm really quite chuffed about this mix from Theo Lawrence. Theo and I have been chatting over the www for sometime now, he's a digger/ collector of the Balearic'ish variety. Obviously we share an interest in lesser known records from all over the planet. Anyway I've been bugging the man to do a mix for this here blog because i believe he has some wonderful records in his collection, turns out he does indeed.

So maybe you're wondering who Theo Lawrence is, well he's a transit van driver mainly in the north west of the UK. He dj's occasionally (personally i think he should do this a lot more), but mainly his very deep passion for music gets a thorough workout over the many hours spend on the road. He says 'I listen to a lot of really great mixes of evidently quite amazing record collectors with some serious diggin skills going on. It's where i listen to music the most, and possibly how i enjoy it the most....'. Without wanting to sound like a clever dick, I'd have to say there is a definite travelogue feel to Theo's brilliant 'Fragments Of Freedom pt1.' mix, but also a surprising essence of sunshine for someone who drives the dark northen roads. What i really wanna say is i love love love this mix a lot, it's Press Play quality for sure. The fact that Theo is not a big name dj matters not, what matters is that you know him now and you'll surely remember his name once you give this a listen... i reckon! Mix of the year? Definitely perfect for the holidays!

Huge thanks go out to you Theo, for the rest of ya, you know where to get it... Happy holidays everyone.
