Wild City #228: Farhan Rehman

Versatile but always uptempo, Farhan Rehman treads the joyous sound of house music on his Wild City mix.

The DJ-producer from Mumbai is able to tread a wide scope of genres with his reputation as one of the city's most experienced selectors. But on his hour-long mix, he keeps to the constant thump of four-to-the-floor kick drums as rousing vocals and instrumental runs take flight on top of it. Selecting tracks that are undercuts to the casual listener and classics to the house aficionados, Farhan's mix educates the listener of the infectiously celebratory essence of house music, fulfilling that classic, often-forgotten, and pivotal role of the DJ to be the informer of public taste.

"For this mix, I wanted to dive straight into the very spirit of house music as I perceive it - loads of soulful harmonies, mind-bending basslines and flavours of Balearic. A lot of the tracks on this mix feature artists whose music I’m really digging at the moment and also artists like David Morales, Dave Lee, DJ Spen, and Joeski whose sculptures could all feature on the Mount Rushmore of house music, if one was ever carved out." – Farhan Rehman
