Red Bull Elektropedia Masterklass is not just another random mixtape series. Every episode tells the story of a love affair between a DJ and a certain genre, era, label or any kind of subject matter interesting enough to be turned into a proper mixtape. We select the DJs and musicians based on their knowledge of (and enthusiasm for) music – giving them absolute freedom to show off their insights.

The first episode of 2014 is brought to you by Ghent DJ and producer Fred Nasen. As the host of Texture on local radio station Urgent.fm, Fred went looking for his favorite soundtrack during a particular activity: “I’ve made this mix with the idea of listening to it while driving on the highway at night. That’s where music can get the closest en deepest in your mind. Music is part imagination, part journey, no? You’ll probably hear influences in this mix of movies or TV shows like Twin Peaks (Julee Cruise), Drive (Johnny Jewel) and Super 8 (Ferre Grinard), and if it didn’t occur in a movie I just imagine one with it. Start your engines.”
