To celebrate the release of the Tresor 30 box set we have a special mix from KMRU. 

"A contemplative dive into the sonic remembering, the mix to me evokes the sense or remembrance or trying to remember, featuring artists and musics that I've been listening and remembering in the past months. The mix was recorded on Ableton and a Push 2." - KMRU

GUESTS 148 – Enfant Terrible

Back with the first Bandcloud guest mix in a year! What's prompted this return? Who knows. 

https://soundcloud.com/lxv is David Sutton, a Philadelphia-based artist who first came to my attention when he released Sirens, a collaboration with Kara-Lis Coverdale. He also refashioned a track for Emily Berregaard's "Hallowed" release on enmossed.

He's put out something like eight solo albums and a series of EPs/singles/shorter-form releases since 2014, and contributed to the much-loved Blowing Up The Workshop mix series, as well as the "too new to be classic" Beyond/Below series. 

This mix features strange and beautiful music from Mira Calix, More Eaze, Sasha (but not *that* Sasha), Coil and many more artists, most of whom are completely unfamiliar to me. There's an almost even split between haunting melancholy and Italian dream house, perfect for the gorgeous liminality of this particular season.

The Enchanted Sea- Martin Denny
Untitled II- Nikolaienko
BB's Chant- Charles Bernstein
Scmyk- Mira Calix
Priority- More Eaze ft. Ben Bondy
Resounding Seashell- Jacy
Stormfugle- Moniek Darge

"Lxv has most recently released “Anxiety Euphoria” a full length available on Bandcamp and Spotify, exploring dream states in process and place, and excavations of exotica and the industrial from the modern era."

HUERCO S. mix for IAN KIM JUDD's 'FIFTH WORLD' on NTS RADIO

Arohanui Recordings - August 20th 2023

For this edition of The Bunker Podcast we're releasing @otodojo's live set from their album release party at The Bunker in April.

artist video explanation accompaniment:
https://youtu.be/h-xMUetPiTg?si=9qj-4DNHj2dHUBtT

artist statement:

In February 2023 I focused on developing a new live set for my debut with @thebunkerny for an album release, named one of the best releases of 2023 by @mixmag-1. I trained the set with performances at Bossa Nova Civic Club with Perfect Party Look Book and at Forest City Lodge with Microtones in Ithaca.

Maybe describing this can help you process some live set ideas.

My previous approach to delivering this material live (originally at The Long Count Cycle, then at Technically Yeah) was using stems as a bedrock and improvisation on top. Even though this worked fine, it got a bit stale for me and I wanted to be as satisfied as a listener when a groove sets in. So I decided to go fully based on MIDI information and instruments, with an added challenge that my CPU can’t take too much of a load, so I needed to make sure I disabled certain instruments before bringing others in. A disclaimer is that I am not fully endorsing all of the equipment in this list, there are some caveats that I’m happy to discuss.

In Ableton I created custom instruments through stock plugins like operator, collision, wavetable - these instruments are divided into ones I cycle through and ones that are constant throughout the set.

The constant ones exist in instrument racks and are freely interchangeable through chains - all of the parameters are mapped to the same knobs on my Novation Launch Control XL enabling me to wash through several instruments running varying sounds. I also have stored macro variations for those instruments in case I need some sound immediately without menu diving (like 1/16 note hi hats).

The cycled instruments instruments are mostly from my tracks in Amphibious / Aural Spirits that are all controlled by four channels on my Xone K1. Initially I tried using Tip by K-Devices and Map-8 to disable a swath of devices (thanks One Child Policy for the tip!). Yet I found that the CPU load was comparable with just leaving the devices on and simply stopping clips. This made for a much better workflow.

I slowly progress through the cycled instruments while improvising with the constant instruments and the main drums / accenting discussed below.

My iPad is running Werkbench by Karl Scholz @karlalamusic, a sequencer sampler app that can easily form interesting polyrhythms and is great for anything sample-related, like live accenting, bass lines, drums, etc.

For the main drums I didn’t want to be too focused on sequencing as it takes up a lot of time, so I just wanted to scroll through patterns that I generate beforehand. I opted to use a modified version of Instant Haus by @alexkid which stores drum patterns for four-five instruments. Modifying this was a bit challenging as it is difficult to determine what kind of patterns I think can stay interesting over an hour time period. This is playing Smackos 808 Simulator by @legowelt-official as well as other custom drum instruments.

For acid lines I am using a Roland TB03 on lend from Indy Nyles and sequencing the 303 with Sting by Iftah Gabbai  as well as his Microtuner device coupled with note echos (I believe this is the most CPU intensive part of the set).I am using Ableton Push as a means to do miscellaneous control and Jaw Harp / Mic for some added organic-ness.

I am running all of this through an Apollo Twin Duo and Allen & Heath Xone 96 at the club.

DJ Clock Town (videogamemusic) - Bandcloud Mix January 2015

This is a very special mix. I first discovered Blue Tapes when the magnificent Katie Gately released a tape with them in late 2013. Their outlook is simple - according to their Facebook page, they are "a boutique cassette label specialising in handmade packaging, alternative process artwork, and curious audio". They keep it weird, in other words. From Katie's sonic explorations to death metal acappellas, not to mention keyboard meanderings from a cot-damn 13-year-old, everything they do is considered, intriguing and brilliant. So it's my delight to have them contribute a mix.

1. Threes and Will & Huerequeque - Amudjara (version 1) [from blue thirteen]
2. Henry Plotnick - Wapiti [from blue fourteen]

Blue Tapes - Bandcloud Mix March 2015

In an unforeseen moment of serendipity, early last month I got in touch with US artist April Larson (https://soundcloud.com/april-larson) about doing a mix for me. In all honesty I only copped what month her mix would be for last week. Derp. When I first featured her work in June of last year, I wrote that "Swooning drone and ambient pastures float and caress", and that could just as easily describe her mix here. She's provided a collection of gorgeous ambient jams, haunting and soothing in equal measure. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have.

This month we've gone straight for the floor. Toronto DJ CL (@cl_lit) has put together a mix of gloriously sunny house, titling the mix Sprung, even though as I type it's a dank and grey day here in Dublin. 

CL is passionate about representation in dance music, and to that hosts a regular show on Toronto Radio Project showcasing the best in electronic music produced by women. Get to know!

Chloe Frieda has been behind the various facets of Alien Jams since it started as a radio show on NTS in 2011, broadcasting every Sunday from 5-6pm. Last year Alien Jams the label kicked off with a wonderful realese from oMMM called 'Parallel Lines Converge'. I included it in Bandcloud 20, not saying much other than that I couldn't stop listening to it, closing the entry with "JUST BUY IT". 

On top of that Chloe runs events under the Linear Space banner with our friend DEBONAIR, recently hosting such incredible artists as Karen Gwyer, HOLOVR, An Trinse and Rosen. 

She's put together a wonderful mix for us here, dancing superbly from dank techno and vibrant house to crunching electro, all underpinned by a skyward-leaning mood fitting her chosen moniker.
