Monument Festival 2023 : Eric Cloutier

Welcome to DJ Lily aka Lilieskalla (Gothenburg, Sweden) founder of Lilies and BROR Records. @xodjlily 

▶︎ What motivates you to compose on hardware?
Working with hardware is amazing! If you listen to many of the productions of the 90s and 80s, there is no perfect programming or automating in the same sense that a modern computer can do. The machines are played as instruments and then they are recorded - what’s done is done. You use your hands to craft the sound, like Jeff Mills active and live approach to the 909, that’s what I mean

I attached that notion to what I do today - which also enabled me to create and motivate very minimalistic productions. Not minimalistic in the sense of clean soundscapes, but in the amount of sounding instruments that are going on throughout the sequences all crafted from scratch. I record on two to three mono channels and I grown to love the method of stepping right into the emotion of the track. To hear the soul of the sequence the very second you play it. In the midst of affairs so to speak.

The biggest inspiration from the early days of techno thus lies in how the different sounds move together, what two hands can do in the moment. I’m not m afraid of making things obscure or monotone - that is part of the process. About three years ago I discarded everything I made with my computer and started this journey by wanting to make new sounds with mostly the same equipment every day. It took a great deal of practice but it is has been very rewarding. I think everyone should try it at least!

▶︎ And what’s your set up as a DJ ?
When I started to DJ I had two CD players (CDJ 800 Mk2), which I bought just a couple of months after I turned 18. Shortly after I got my Technics 1200 really cheap and have been moving between vinyl and digital since. At the moment I play digitally, although I’m an avid vinyl collector and make sure to really use the records from the 90s in my repertoire. I play on three players to be able to continuously cue one track ahead.

▶︎ What inspires you most about the 90s?
The idea of techno growing as the music of the future! Although not only the music, but also the ideas of Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance, and Drexciya. All the interpretations of the music and the incredible communities and influences that grew out of the era. What’s not to love!

When the future was envisioned at the time when techno was being invented, the idea was probably different from what it might be when thought of today. I guess it’s possible to apply the idea of us being at the end of that future or in the beginning of the next future. Wherever we’re at now, we’re all headed into either something fantastic or something tragic, haha. But as far as techno is concerned, I myself really want to stick to associating it as a forward thinking genre. I feel that it’s also suited for me to soundtrack the urban decay we have through our current structures in society. Maybe a bit like Detroits economic decline back then - I cannot know!

▶︎ Do you think the techno tracks from 30 years ago are still relevant today?
They are the most relevant bar none if you ask me. If you don’t look back on how techno started in Detroit, it will be hard to motivate modern interpretations of it today. If it wasn’t for inventors like Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson we wouldn’t be where we are with this genre. They deserve respect, as well as the waves of techno that later came after them. The way techno was made 30+ years is an archetype.

▶︎ Thank you for this podcast and your words !

Steffi (NL) @steffi_official
Live at MUTEK Montréal | Édition 25
Métropolis 2 on August 24, 2024
Mastered by @pheek (audioservices.studio)

Steffi presents a specially commissioned live performance for MUTEK that reflects her decades of experience and relentless innovation in electronic music. With a career highlighted by her residency at Berghain and the creation of influential labels such as Klakson and Dolly, she continues to reinvent her music. This rare live set recording is a chance to experience the essence of her ever evolving sound.

MUTEKLIVE353 - Steffi (live)

Breaking in our waves with a special two-hour round of genre-busting floor hoodoo, here comes Luxemburg-via-Germany’s one and only Ogazón. Nimbly walking the tightrope between sensuous house folds and more rugged, up-for-the-jugular techno on a deep, dubby tip, Ogazón treats us to a high-end vinyl workout flush with immersive, cinematic motion and proper low-slung club-oriented extrapolations. The result is a mix that swings the pendulum between sheer blazing functionality and an escapist mindset, sparking off the inextinguible will to go out and rave your night away from the daily hassle, and you can trust Ogazón for she certainly knows how to teleport dancers to a whole cozier, comely dimension in the twinkling of an eye. Merry Xmas to all!

3SP4C3 HYPNUS es una colección de cinco tracks experimentales que fui produciendo como proceso de aprendizaje, no entran en la estructura y metodología de un genero en especifico ya que se busca construir un estilo propio y que se diferencie dentro del techno.
Los tracks están formados por sonidos "futuristas" y bajos hipnóticos, diferentes entre si pero con una misma base; Buscar una "Sensación Espacial"

DVS1 came up as a raver in the Midwest, throwing techno parties for over 20 years and getting up to mischief, often next to huge stacks of speakers that still influence him to this day. He is now well-established as a vital DJ and resident at Berghain and Panorama Bar. 

This mix is something special and a side of DVS1 normally not heard or recorded! A true digger and passionate record collector running the eclectic Mistress Recordings and the more pure techno label HUSH. Here he crosses into house territory for a special dekmantel mix. 

Of the podcast we have here, he says, “This mix is two hours of a four hour rare “house” set recorded LIVE in Sept 2017 at an undisclosed location. I make it a point not to release many mixes and while most people know and follow me for my techno sets, this mix is for those who dig a little deeper and appreciate it all… Enjoy!" There is still a real sense of pace to the mix as it glides effortlessly though flurries of percussion into vocal numbers, cosmic curveballs and piano laced anthems. It’s a fascinating insight into a whole other side of one of techno’s foremost talents.

Accelerationism @ Vortex x Ved Siden Af, November 2019

TRACKLIST=> bit.ly/SlamRadioGroup

NYCTA is a project Adam X and Function have been pulling together, with many obstacles along the way, over the course of the last 10 years and this mix captures the essence of what they set out to achieve. It pays total homage to the sound and it's a sound that, in a scene where everything has already been largely reissued, hasn't had a light shone on it yet. Nugroove, yes. But this is much more than that. Though not overlooked in the history of electronic music when it comes to the early days of electro, hip hop and disco, New York City has been largely overlooked in it's contributions to the origins of techno and house music in America, while the cities of Detroit & Chicago have always taken most of the credit. Names like Joey Beltram, Frankie Bones, Lenny Dee, Tommy Musto, How & Little, Mundo Muzique, Damon Wild, Todd Terry, Kenny Dope, Ralphie Dee, Jimmy Crash, Rheji Burrell, Bobby Konders, Roger S, Blue Jean, L.B. Bad and of course Adam X were as instrumental in bringing both genres forward as the artists from the aforementioned cities.
