This is the recording of the extended opening set I played at Watershed (a storied Portland warehouse venue that has been the setting for many underground events) for the inaugural Thread The Needle party. I played for three hours warming up the space for our out of town headliner, the magnificent Andrey Pushkarev from Portugal. 

Since I had to start from nothing and set the stage for our guest I dig deep into my collection of groovy dub techno records and also a lot of a certain kind of tech-house sound that I was really into in the early 2000s, plus of course some proper minimal. I really liked how this turned out and hope you enjoy it.

Interest in Japanese electronic music never wanes, and that is thanks to the work of producers like Gonno. As a key part of the contemporary musical landscape in the Far East, he has released on local as well as international labels like Perc Trax, Endless Flight and Ostgut Ton. He is someone who brings acid and melody to his techno and has put out fantastically realized full lengths such as 2015’s Remember The Life Is Beautiful as well as many EPs in the last decade. A regular guest at key parties in Europe as well as Japan, he recently played one such party on a Sunday afternoon. 

Taking place at a club near the beach called Oppala, he played for seven hours straight and managed to record the mix. Now he presented the first three hours for our podcast series. Starting with some unmistakably Japanese ambient sounds and delicate instruments, he then plots a journey through organic slow motion grooves that drip with musicality and tumble in pleasing ways. Never less than smooth and seductive, things get a little more energetic later on with more corrugated grooves, icy hi hats and bumpy beats and the whole thing makes for a rare recorded insight into the DJ side of this esteemed artist.
