experimental

This is a live recording, captured at Ego club in Düsseldorf, June 5 1999.  The music has been created with a self written step sequencer, the PX-18, controlling  a basic sample player and effects engine, all done in MaxMSP, running on a Powerbook G3. The step sequencer had some unique features, e.g. the ability to switch patterns independently in each track, which later became an important part of a certain music software.

I found the recording on a backup disk today. It has not been edited or mastered. During the first 20 minutes of the set, and before the 'encore' the Monolake CD 'Gobi' is playing in the background. 
 

Monolake Live at Ego Düsseldorf June 5 1999

Luke Vibert 's new album under his increasingly-less-rare Kerrier District moniker is, quite simply, a corker – and we're delighted to offer up the first taster. 4  is everything we've come to expect from the Cornwall hero's forays into wonky boogie, a deliriously fun detour through the kind of elastic funk he pulls off with panache. It's no accident that a half-dozen tracks have 'disco' or some variation thereof in the title (we see you, "Discuntek").
It feels as if you could splatter them all together into a deliriously skippy mush; not to say that they're interchangeable, mind. The closing "Come On Kerrier" provides one last burst of energy, a pitched-up combination of 'Kerrier' and Vibert proper, gaudy and giddy and glorious. April 6th is when 4 drops via Hypercolour – dig out your 70s calendars and start marking the days.

Pre-order: https://northernelectronics.bandcamp.com

"The Empire Line present six cyclonic episodes for confined spaces on their debut album, 'Rave.'

Comprised of Posh Isolation's Christian Stadgaard (Damien Dubrovnik, Vanity Productions), Jonas Rönnberg (Varg), and with Isak Hansen (Iron Sight) on tantrums, the trio's marauding live shows have been translated into a slippery set of pummelling techno works, watermarked with florid noise.

'Rave' is a celebration of contemporary rave culture, focused on the everlasting and transcendent as the night slips out past the day. With living-for-the-weekend hedonism irretrievably converted into a manicured, violent cliché, building new worlds and forging new modes of intimacy takes an exceptional sincerity. Naming some of the crews closest to The Empire Line in the album's titles, their spaces are examples of just how rave culture persists as a transgressive stronghold in people's lives.

Ranging from k-hole anthems to jacking, close-range sessions, 'Rave' still bears the traces of the group's experimental background, ensuring the tension is kept up through the catharsis."

Deep Electronics Podcast # 181 - Bohdan

Artist: Nocow
Title: Libbi
Album: Zemlya (FIGURE94_3)
Release: 12th of February 2018

Vozduh (air) arrives first in a trilogy of EPs by Aleksei Nikitin for Figure, showcasing the emerging signature-style of electronica-tinged techno adopted under his guise as Nocow. Drawing inspiration from the sheer endless winters of his St. Petersburg home, the series builds on the tropes of classic IDM, imbuing his productions with a noticeably Russian and deeply personal sensitivity.

As each part of the trilogy is represented by an element, the tracks on Vozduh are vaporous by nature: from the crackling ambiance of opener Bouis to the weightless vocals on stoic Forgiven, as well as a surprisingly introspective take on ghetto-house or the wafting melodies closing out the record‘s B-side – all forms seem to be in constant shift, casting a dense yet permeable body of sound.

The second volume then sees Nikitin dipping deep into the Baltic sea, exploring the water element of Voda on five subaquatic compositions, riding waves of acid and bubbly thumps, diving through underwater caves of seductive electro and gnarly techno, before finally emerging on the sunken island of Iskatel, ears ringing with shredded harmonies of ancient beauty.

The final installment Zemlya un(earth)s the artist‘s maybe most drastic work to date. While initial Libbi sprouts gently into crystalline ambient arteries, the mood soon shifts to an invasive vibe on ceaselessly stabbing Synchronicity, until Nocow offers conciliation in form of a string-led soother and subsequently lets the record spiral out in lucid sparkles, finally coming full circle.

Coming soon. 

All tracks written & produced by Aleksei Nikitin.

Biography:
Kareem, Founder of Zhark Recordings Berlin, has been presenting heavy armoured track material since the year 96 challenging the auditory, pushing them deep into the abyss. 
His definition of the Zharkesthetic lies in conveying a claustrophobic state > an atmosphere of threatening sound architecture constantly challenging the innocuous conventions of the electronic DANCE MEDIUM. 
His portfolio ranges from dozens of vinyl releases on Zhark, to release collaborations with industrial techno producers such as Ancient Methods or Dave Foster aka HUREN. 
Kareem has furthermore contributed to projects such as Amélie Ravalec`s Techno Documentary Paris/Berlin 20 years of underground Techno, Perc`s 10 year anniversary compilation or Boomkat`s Connor Thomas conceptional vinyl series The Death of Rave.

"I remember around 4 or 5 years ago I started to discover electronic music in a greater form. Coming across EE mixes educated me a lot about music. Working as a night receptionist in Manchester Victoria Warehouse gave me an opportunity to bang the mixes out on the hotels sound system at night against my boss’s plea not to play techno at night. My favourite are (231) Dawn Day Night, (252) - Consequence and all-time favourite (237) Kangding-Ray.
I never thought I will be making one years later :) "

TRACKLIST 
The mix has been composed of 117 loops from sample packs such as 
Trashy Techno Drums, Bluezone_Corporation_Rekkerd, PrimeLoops_500MB_TasterPack_2016, musicradar-idm-samples, 014_Spunkface Samplers_Mnml, musicradar-robot-samples and about 40 more...
Mixed on the fly in the middle of the night in Berlin in my SONY MDR-7506 headphones while my flat mate sleeping next door on the garage band mate.

BIO
Vtorova began her musical career playing in punk and noise bands, but gravitated towards electronic music after picking up Ableton Live. After several cassette releases and an EP of abstract techno on Peder Mannerfelt’s label came last year’s brilliant Genau House, a record of dusky techno inspired by failed Tinder dates and being turned away from clubs in Berlin.

Dark Science Electro presents: Best Of 2017

As part of the parisian Champ Libre Crew and good friend of Voitax, Size Piere delivers a special one for his first Voitax Guest Mix. Experimental soundscapes, drones and plenty of hidden noisy vocals are building up to a strong cinematic ambient journey.

Robert Heel - Arturia MicroBrute

Hey people, wish you a happy and healthy new year, I'm sure it will be as good as possible for all of us. Now I'm starting 2018 with one hour of wonderful ambient music by my dear friend Zhe Pechorin.

Zhe Pechorin is a project behind Angelina Micic, based in Belgrade, Serbia. In her music, she is trying to escape any kind of genre limitations in favor of transmitting her passion in finding the clear emotions, sense and beauty which will make a connection between people in the present moment. But, at the same time, that emotions contains melancholic atmosphere which is caused by her huge inspiration hidden in philosophy of existentialism and absurd. As she said, "tracks are reminding me of the feeling which I have always while I'm watching chimneys, they are very symbolic to me because they represent human creation, which is one of the greatest power that we have as human being. We built them to make that life easier, but it's destroying the nature, like we destroy ourselves".

This podcast is a beautiful representation of Angelina's universe: a passionated and emotionally charged ambient music, inviting to the inner journey and a deep reflection on the world: who are we? Where are we going ? What purpose ? One thing is certain, life, as we know it, evolves, and will soon not be the same as before.
The photo was taken by Angelina herselves from the window of her room.

Recording Podcasts, in my eyes, is in most cases something that only transports bits of a story - leaving out the full picture. If you record a DJ set at a club, you ideally will create a narrative that fits the people and the room you are playing for. However, listening back to that recording will leave this important detail out of the picture. Of course, you as the DJ and people that were there that night will "get it", but if you were not there you might be wondering why the DJ played that song, why s/he played softer or harder than usual - it is not clear. 

Recording a mix at home comes with similar problems: Where do you want to take your listener? If you want to deliver a club set, it will not be an authentic recording in the end - I can not record a club set at home, with only my dog in the audience. The energy will never reach the energy a recording from an actual club night will be able to deliver.

For this Electronic Explorations podcast, I recorded two mixes in a way, in which I would play my DJ sets in a club. The results lacked the pressure, the urge and the spontaneous creativity I'd let myself be led by in a sweaty DJ booth. This led me to this conclusion and eventually, I decided to delete both of these recordings and start over.

So one night I went to bed and turned on the radio - Deutschland Radio Kultur, which is a German culture radio station. And they were broadcasting the audio drama "Mein Herz ist Leer" ("My heart is empty") by Werner Fritsch. A dark, possessive voice was reading stitched-together haikus and thereby telling a story of a struggling monk buried in sound-design by Miki Yui. I loved what this story did to me before falling asleep and I could not wait to get up in the morning to try to create a podcast around this story.

My idea was to keep the story alive and become its music supervisor, trying to choose tracks that I loved in 2017 and using them to tell the story, even if you do not understand the German narrator word by word, I was aiming to select sounds, that will, in combination with the ever-present voice of the narrator, drive the story just through the music. At the same time, I tried to create a listening experience that sits between soothing calmness and chilling shudder - just like some of the old Eastern European Christmas tales I've been listening to when I was a child.

I've done a mix like that before at Dommune in 2013, where I took an old Japanese horror story and used the music to drive the story itself. Technically I did it the same way here: Mixing with records and Traktor and using a sampler to launch the bits of the audiobook at the right times.

Hailing from Seattle, Korean-American artist @fugal expresses both dynamism and nuance. As part of the @secondnatureseattle collective, he’s one of the driving forces behind a string of renowned events in Seattle and the US, as well as an impressive young label which has seen contributions from fellow secondnature residents @archivistseattle and @simictacoma, along with @smoreira and Svreca (@semantica-records).

Now based in Berlin, Fugal has continued to refine his rhythmic, emotive sound, with gigs across Berlin and abroad. On the production front, 2017/18 has proven to be a fruitful period, with a recent co-release with Archivist on @volte_face_bleed’s BleeD imprint, and his sophomore secondnature release coming up in mid-February.

With his contribution to the Patterns of Perception mix series, Fugal has taken a measured approach, veering away from more functional dancefloor sounds, and instead drawing inspiration from the warmth found amongst the grey Berlin winter. Toeing the line between experimental sounds and deep techno, Fugal’s mix delves into the intricate - focusing on musical phrases and creative transitions between widely varying tempos.
