Half of experimental indie-electro duo Florene, Gavin Guthrie openly admits that his influences, when it comes to DJing at least, are anything but profound.
Rather, the 27-year-old DJ spills that some of his fondest influential memories date back to him listening to some of his dad's albums from the '80s. The musician/DJ credits his current taste to having been exposed to Germany's experimental synth-pop act Kraftwerk at an early age,
"My best friend in middle school somehow stumbled across the song 'Pocket Calculator' by Kraftwerk in the seventh grade." he says. "And [we] thought it was the most hilarious thing ever. Little did I know that they would become one of my biggest musical inspirations."
Currently, Guthrie predominantly plays shows in Denton, but he's not opposed to the opportunity to score a gig or two in Big D. If you want to catch him in action, he plays most Wednesdays at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios in Denton. In the meantime make sure to check out his mix and Q&A after the jump.
