*Monologues: Episode 81 - Ben Gomori*

Next date: Dec 31 - Universal Melodies @ Peckham Arches, London

After nearly 12 years of inviting other artists to mix episodes of Monologues — my mix series where producers mix an hour of their own productions — I've finally decided to do one myself. Celebrating the release of my debut album 'Collapsing Time', this mix looks back on some of my favourite productions from my catalogue, focusing on the music that complements the sound of the album best.

*How would you describe your sound?*

A mess! Scattershot diversity, focused around groove and melody in the house arena.

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?*

Basement Jaxx, X-Press 2, Armand Van Helden, Daft Punk, Eric Prydz, Todd Terje, the Balearic ethos, early Andrew Weatherall and Paul Oakenfold, classic progressive house, my musical friends, travelling, psychology and the club scene.

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*

It's the music I've produced over my 16 years in the game that fits best with the sound of my album 'Collapsing Time' — e.g. melancholy '80s/'90s-leaning housey stuff with a lot of pianos.
