Hessle Audio with Ben UFO & Jo Johnson - 9th November 2017

Objekt: "Here’s the recording of my set from Dekmantel Selectors festival in Tisno, Croatia, summer 2017.

This was definitely a lucky case of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat and there are endless caveats with this recording – I had a terrible cold; I’d lost my earplugs about an hour earlier and this was the first set I’d played without them in about 6 years; the needles kept jumping (long story but kinda my fault) – but somehow the environment, the energy of the crowd and liberal quantities of vodka sent me flying through 2.5 hours of techno, house, electro, IDM, ghettotech, jungle, DnB and all the way back again. You’ll have to excuse the skipping records but otherwise I hope you enjoy the recording as much as I enjoyed playing."

Mastermix 2017

Fourth delivery in the @s-o-n-s series, 'Shin-Okubo One Night Stand' puts on offer what are certainly the boldest non-linear audio epics the man has released yet, establishing just as wisely as a sequel but as a proper standalone piece as well.

S.O.N.S - Lifetimes (Odyssey I Mix) [S.O.N.S]

summer blues

Since his first record dropped in 2010, UK producer Blawan has been gradually rewriting the techno rulebook while making hardware mayhem as one half of Karenn and dropping solo releases on labels like Hessle Audio, Clone, R&S and his own Ternesc imprint. However, despite all that activity, he's somehow never released a full-length album – until now. The highly anticipated 'Wet Will Always Dry' LP is slated to arrive on June 18, but ahead of that we debuted the ominous sounds of "Stell" on First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Wet Will Always Dry

Blawan "Stell" [First Floor Premiere]

lingua franca

Pariah has recently returned with Here From Where We Are, his first solo material in a while. The debut album on Houndstooth finds the producer develop beatless, synth heavy soundtracks into long, thoughtful pieces that are utterly absorbing. It’s a new musical identity for someone closely associated with visceral techno thanks to his work as one half of live duo Karenn with Blawan, but as a DJ he still pumps the dance floor. 

This mix is testament to that: it’s ninety minutes of diverse electronic music that dips into afro drumming, sleek minimalism and off kilter UK bass as well as some cheeky garage. As it wraps up, drums make way for subtle and supple synth rhythms that leave you utterly horizontal, a mile away from the sweaty state that proceeds it. Like Pariah himself, it’s tied to no one sound or scene and is wholly refreshing as a result.

Dekmantel Podcast 193 - Pariah

Time sure does fly when you’re having fun, and so it is that we’ve already raced up to podcast number 200. We’ve managed to call upon a suitably large name for the honour; someone who has very much shaped the techno scene over the course of the last 20 years and continues to excite people every time he plays. That man is Surgeon. As a performer, Birmingham’s Anthony Childs was one of the first men to embrace and exploit the possibilities of Ableton Live and Final Scratch. His mastery of that technology made his sets even more improvised and innovative, and over the years he has never compromised his vision. He plays with a sense of devastation and destruction that explores the very outer edges of what is possible, while always keeping the dance floor absolutely locked in. It’s been the same since he founded his hometown’s first techno club, House of God, at the start of the 90s. 

As a producer—whether solo or in celebrated collaborations with Regis as British Murder Boys or Ben Sims as Frequency 7—he seems to be getting better with age. Right from his first EP on Karl O’Connor’s Downwards in 1994, surgeon has had a hard hitting, linear style that remains to this day. Recent years saw him return to a primitive rave style and incorporate the gritty industrial influences of his youth. But in 2018 he evolved again and served up what many consider to be his best album in years. Luminosity Device features a more rhythmic, playful sense of drum programming next to his meticulously crafted synths and enthralling sense of urgency and future paranoia. The nuance in his tracks is now as intriguing as the visceral power of the kicks, and it all adds up to an album that works as well on headphones, at home, as it does on the dance floor. It’s proper techno by a proper techno head. 

And so is the mix he has put together for us. Over 1 hour 45 minutes, the man calls upon plenty of pivotal names from Juan Atkins and Oscar Mulero to Donato Dozzy and James Ruskin. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way, so that zoned out passages of dubbed out drums are followed by intergalactic space battles and moments of synth laden intensity. It’s a testament to Surgeon’s skills that he can take you to such far ranging corners of the techno world without ever getting lost.
