LATERAL  ::  7 quick lockdown questions 

1.   Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie?
“ I like a good documentary movie if anything, can't sit down and get through many other movies these days.”

2.   Coffee, Tea or Alcohol?
"Coffee. I don't think I could start a day without it. But that's a tough one seeing as though I love my craft beer these days."

3.   Sleep in or get up early
"get up early"

5. What art movement describes you the best?
"Probably Modernism.
I love experimentation. Especially when it comes to music. I hate making the same sound twice."

6.   Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal
"Can I choose none? Haha.
Opera if I had to choose. I respect the amount of talent that an opera singer has."

Machine isoStream 01 :: Lateral

Machine resident Simon Slieker presents the second mix for our 'music for isolation' streams.  
Dive in head first to this excursion of sound
 
SIMON SLIEKER  :: 7 quick lockdown questions  

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 

Whichever one has a sweeping epic hero. Unfortunately this means I have dubious taste in cinema, lacking nuance, eschewing complexity, and constantly craving something to believe in. I’m increasingly disappointed. 

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 

At the moment tea. That’s the morning ritual. But I don’t really like tea, it’s too watery and insipid. But coffee is brutal, so I like to roll off it periodically. Hence the tea. As for alcohol, if you’d asked me last lockdown, it was all about Damned Murphy and his crazy specials, hmmm a spirit, all the fun of the mixed case of wine, may well get this six pack as well, oh and these ciders, and on the way out that shopping trolley with random bottles was so much fun; wow $1.39 for a bottle of citrus stout: bargain! Bleaugh. This time I’ve stopped altogether. Dry. So the tea has become quite the ‘high’. High tea. 

3. Sleep in or get up early 

Ah this is becoming about the contrasting lockdowns: 1 and 2. Lockdown 1 I didn’t sleep, I stayed up the whole time. Lockdown 2 I’m going to bed early and have made a surprise discovery: getting up early. Which sounds bad, like you’re being punished. But it turns out it means you’re getting enough sleep. I’ve not experienced this before so it didn’t make any sense. It’s amazing you should try it. 

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album 

I don’t have one.

5. What art movement describes you the best?

Pre-Raphaelite.

6 Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal

Maybe folk. But I think you’ve chosen the four exceptionally problematic and compromised genres there. Were they chosen especially for me? I’m going with folk because when I was 16 I decided to become quite good with a harmonica and I think that had something to do with folk, or Bob Dylan at least. 

7. Tell us something no one knows about you?

I don’t have a favourite listening album. Oh that cat’s out of the bag. Um, I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I think I’m starting to go bald.

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol?

3. Sleep in or get up early
"Sleeping in has been a welcomed change."

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album
"Currently I been enjoying Spiral Deluxe’s "Voodoo Magic”  on Axis.  (Jeff Mills’s jazz band) "

5. What art movement describes you the best?
"Funk, because Im funky!"

6. Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal

Melbourne techno stalwart Ranjit Nijjer lays down some deep hypnotic grooves for stage four of the Machine weekly isoStream series. 

Ranjit Nijjer :: 7 Quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 
"I’ve only managed to get through a couple of movies throughout both lockdowns; action would probably be my top pick of those three."

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 
"A couple of strategically placed coffees throughout the day without fail." 

3. Sleep in or get up early 
"Due to having young kids; it’s always, always, always get up early." 

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album 
"Loom Dream by Leif has been a regular in the last 12 months." 

5. What art movement describes you the best? 
"Surrealism"

6 Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal 
"I’d probably have to say folk but all of those aren’t in my regular rotation."

7. Tell us something no one knows about you?
"According to Spotify, my most listened to album of 2019 was Dean Martin’s ‘Italian Love Songs’."

Machine isoStream 05 :: Composite Cone

Machine resident Emmymaie packs a punch with her isoStream mix featuring a selection tracks from Machine Label artists over the past 10 years.  

Emmymaie :: 7 Quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie?
e) footy replays ;D*

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol?
Coffee - though if you’re talking instant, I’ll pass. I’ve lately had to temper my caffeine intake; finding great organic decaf coffee beans has helped, but I have also developed a renewed appreciation for pots of herbal tea, most varieties (except chamomile - bleugh ;)*, in many combos... As for alcohol: having, by my early-mid-40s, drunk enough for three or four lifetimes, I now no longer drink booze (I know, huh? :)*. It’s not a hard “no”; I’ll have the occasional vodka-cranberry / Moscow Mule / Frangelico on ice with lime / etc. whilst working at Machine (for instance) but the last time that happened, well... ;/*

3. Sleep in or get up early?
Definitely the former; in fact, I sleep in so hard I’m basically noctural. And I’ve been that way since I was a kid. It’s not that I don’t like mornings; I do, and (one reason) I love our dance music culture (is) for the opportunity it affords to see the sunrise after staying up all night!

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album
Techno (any). Or footy replays xD*

5. What art movement describes you best?
Hmmm, maybe Fauvism? For the colour and whimsy...

6. Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal?
After techno, I like all those almost equally; metal probably wins (being most like techno! ;P*) \nn/-

7. Tell us something no one knows about you
You know, I can’t think of a single thing about myself that isn’t known by at least one other person... If I was a book, I’d be open ;o*

Tracklist: 

01. Unu - Patience (Linas remix) [Machine]

Machine isoStream 06 :: Emmymaie

Juan Tellez draws us into a deep transcendental vibe with his mix for our seventh isoStream, veering us into a world of dark ritualistic hypnotic techno music.   (Scroll down for tracklist)

Juan Tellez  :: 7 quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 
I’m generally a big fan of non-English film that challenges one’s sense of reality or perspective. That said, I’ve been watching a number of documentaries recently on Indigenous Australian issues that have been massively educational for this white New Zealander. In that vein, I recommend: Gurrumul; The Final Quarter; Westwind: Djalu’s Legacy; and, Murundak: Songs of Freedom.    

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 
Coffee: Long Black generally in the morning.
Tea: Most teas and constantly consumed through the day.
Alcohol: Red Wine (Pinot Noir especially), Espresso Martini, Vodka/Lime/Soda
Special shout out goes to my soulmate beverage Club Mate X

3. Sleep in or get up early 
As a night owl, it’s a sleep-in without question.

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album 
The various sounds of the outdoors (nature especially), but if I’m inside, I really like to mellow out to ambient music at the moment. I’m currently feeling Jonas Kopp’s ambient sounds: https://soundcloud.com/jonas-kopp/sets/transmisiones-de-1-hora-para  

5. What art movement describes you the best?
My Father was an artist influenced by Cubism and Surrealism and while I resonate with both of those movements, I’d have to say that it’s an artist that best represents myself and that is Hieronymus Bosch. My brain is very much ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ haha! 

6. Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal
I’d tend towards Folk/Black Death Metal. Very much looking forward to seeing Chelsea Wolfe and Emma Ruth Rundle live once the pandemic settles down!  

7. Tell us something no one knows about you?
For digital music listening through my computer, I prefer using foobar2000 to VLC

https://soundcloud.com/consoles

Consoles :: 7 quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 
I don't watch a lot of talkies these days, but  the last thing I watched was a documentary. 'My Octopus Teacher' blew my mind and expanded my appreciation of the infinite mystery of our earth and fellow species.

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 
One of each thanks!  Although if I could only have one for the rest of eternity it would be tea - there are so many delicious infusions.

3. Sleep in or get up early 
I used to aspire to being an early bird - but I've resigned myself to the fact that waking up will always be an excruciating exercise of personal willpower.

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album 
Currently it's probably Power Spot by Jon Hassell or Holy Spring by Lawrence Pike- but it depends on what sort of afternoon I'm having. I also enjoy tuning into RRR or PBS :)

5. What art movement describes you the best?
Neo-Expressionism? I think? I'm not really across all of the sub genres of sub genres... I think that art is for everyone and that play and creation is a fundamental part of being a human animal - so perhaps we are all part of the same movement?

6  Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal
There are good and terrible examples in every genre, so never say never. But I'm more likely to be listening to folk or country on a regular basis.

7. Tell us something no one knows about you
I was so depressed and consumed by grief after the bushfires earlier in the year that I didn't think I would ever play music again - I didn't even want to listen to any music. It felt like the light had gone out of the world. I realised recently that somewhere during lockdown my capacity to enjoy music had crept back in, perhaps not in the same way as before, but I'm grateful to Machine for inviting me to prepare this podcast - it's been good to create something I can share with my Machine family until we meet again xxx

Machine isoStream 14 :: Steve Law

Music and art can very much touch us with the essence of symmetry, balance, fluidity, cohesion whilst their counterparts: dis-juncture, chaos, inertia, provide the tension that makes for the through-line: Story.
Join UK based Xavier Morel with this symphonic monster of a master mix coming in at just over 2.5 hours for Machine isoStream #15 ... Enjoy the journey!

https://soundcloud.com/xaviermorel

Xavier Morel is a veteran producer and Dj. In these days where the distinction between artist and playlist are becoming less distinct, the essence of audio art is becoming distilled in its import.

Machine isoStream 17 :: Matic

Melbourne producer /musician, JXTPS takes on freeform expressionism with a colourful palette of mixed genres, creating a mesmerizing sonic canvas for Machine isoStream 18, where he wanted to create something different, more of a listening vibe and not to be bound by tempo too much…. Directive achieved.

JXTPS :: 7 quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 
"Romance"
2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol?
"Coffee"
3. Sleep in or get up early 
"Sleep In"

"Ooh too many maybe Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain or Tortoise - it's all around you."
5. What art movement describes you the best? 
"Post modernist retro cubism."
6 Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal 
"All of the above though opera would generally be the least likely to listen unless it was at a concert"
7. Tell us something no one knows about you.
"Well I guess some people may know this but most probably don't, I wanted to be a jazz guitarist and went so far as to study it at uni and even travel overseas to play and study for a brief time."

Machine isoStream 18 :: JXTPS

Vohkinne is the alter ego of Melbourne based producer, DJ and techno legend Craig McWhinney, who has multiple releases on labels such as Southern Lights, Semantica, MindTrip as well as his own imprint Atrophic Society. For his Machine isoStream 19 mix, he has kept the theme isolation in mind whilst conjuring up this journey of deep hypnotic techno, which is well reflected in the final output..   dig in deep.

Vohkinne :: 7 quick lockdown questions
1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie?
- Nothing beats a good action flick IMO.
2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 
- Coffee in the morning, black coffee straight outta the pot. Then Beers in the evening, of the rich and fulfilling kind.
3. Sleep in or get up early 
- I used to sleep in, but time and family have made me a 5.30am guy. 
4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album
- I listen to hip hop most days, currently really digging on Black Thought’s new album, but Sunday arvo is usually reserved for music with the family as dictated by the youngest member, and my son is going through a Metallica phase. I’m alright with it.
5. What art movement describes you the best?
- I would say, Vorticism.
6 Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal 
- hmmm tough one. In a pinch I’d take Black Death Metal over the others though, for obvious reasons.

-I played the flute in high school.

Machine isoStream 20 :: Sebastian Bayne

Dj, label owner : Machine label - http://soundcloud.com/machine-label 
With a career spanning over 33 years, Andrew Till is one of few players with a stake in, not only the establishment, but the defining of electronic music in Australia. If ever the term “pioneer” was to be thrown around, it might well be thrown at Andrew Till. And it would stick.
Amidst a budding club and rave culture, hot on the heels of the halcyon summer of love, Andrew Till was amongst the first delivering the new dawn. First as DJ and event organizer, then as co-founder of Australia’s first and most influential electronic label.
Psy-Harmonics burst onto the scene in 1993 and would quickly thrust Till and partner Ollie Olsen onto the world stage, riding at the crest of a new wave of electronica that would crash far beyond our shores. For the next 16 years this label would offer up countless gems, to cement a timeless place in the worldwide pantheon of dance music.
As a dj, and repertoire manager, Andrew Till’s success marks him as elite. His legacy has earned a legion of fans the world over. Launching from hometown Melbourne, his tour schedule is constant: Tokyo, Helsinki, South Africa, Europe, USA, South East Asia, the list goes on and on.
His globetrotting takes in all corners but none more so than Japan. Harboring a particular fascination, Japan has played host with 50+ gigs from the largest festivals & nightclubs including; Ageha, Liquid Room, Womb, Velfare, Nagisa Music Festival, Space Gathering, Total Solar Eclipse festival (Amami-Oshimi) to the most intimate indoor and outdoor venues.
Andrew Till is known for being an innovator: a stylist whose sets are part conjuring act, part act of persuasion: a composite of timing and compositional balance. He mesmerizes with beautifully realized structure and broadens horizons with his call to war: the tension of being swept up in the familiar, and dropped into the unknown.
A view to the horizon and an open minded appraisal of emerging sounds has forged for Andrew Till, the respect of his peers, the endorsement of the music seeking public and continual success on the label front.
In 2009 a new wave surged. Machine Label is the new kid on the block, the techno lovechild, spawned by the club of the same name. Machine is the current driving undercurrent of Andrew Till’s techno fame. Co-owned with Simon Slieker, Machine has become the flag bearer for a procession of burgeoning new talent from Australia and abroad. Machine Club is the monthly embodiment, public outlet and testing ground, whilst Machine Label throws it out to the world.

Andrew continues to deliver forward thinking electronic music as an artist, dj, A&R, manager and mentor. His vast dedication to the development and progression of the culture that became an industry is his inspiration and motivation.
