Russian Linesman is a Nottingham-based musician whose expansive discography, chalking up two studio albums alongside numerous singles and EPs, has picked up support from key tastemakers such as BBC 6 Music’s Nemone.
Following the release of Nick Muir’s remix of ‘The Road Back’ on his own Loki Recordings, we sat down with the enigmatic producer to ask him some questions about his approach to music making, life in lockdown and how utilises concepts in his tracks. In addition he recorded us a mix for Klubikon Podcast which you can hear below.
Thanks for recording this mix for Klubikon Podcast, could you tell us about it?
You gave me complete creative control over the mix, so I decided to just make a mix of things I liked. It turned into a mix of songs I had been listening to in lockdown to keep me sane. So there are quite a few genres in there, plus a Mac Quayle song from the Mr Robot soundtrack. It’s ultimately a promotional mix, so it had to have the Nick Muir remix of me in it and a remix I did for the band Archive last year. Hope people enjoy it.
