Better be ready for our next SPANDAU20 Mixtape guest: Swedish techno legend @CariLekebusch! 📼

Now based in Helsinki, Cari is a key figure from the second generation of techno producers in the late '80s and '90s. His relentless innovation has cemented his place as pioneer of the Swedish techno scene. With over thirty years in music, his reputation as a studio scientist is well-documented. Throughout his career, he has adopted numerous pseudonyms and consistently pushed the boundaries of techno.🚀

For his SPND20 mixtape, Cari keeps it minimal yet powerful on the gear side, with an Allen & Heath DB4 mixer and three Pioneer CDJs. He adds a unique touch with extra loops and sounds from his iPhone app, "EZPZ." If you’re into experimenting, you should definitely check it out—it's free!🔊

The mixtape revolves around the vibe of his upcoming album, "Hybrid Sound Architects V1.0," dropping June 24th on his label H-Productions. Expect a journey through sweaty, raw, and hypnotic soundscapes. The tape seamlessly blends deep, pulsing beats with abrasive, unrefined textures that keep you locked in from start to finish. Cari’s selections showcase a mix of new tracks from the album and other personal favorites, bringing a fresh yet timeless energy to the mix.🌀

An interesting fact for our fellow DJs and producers: Cari's registered this mix as a virtual mix on "aslice", ensuring all artists get their fair share.🖤

Our special guest on this week’s Source to Cycle podcast is Mark Henning.

The UK born, and now Berlin based, DJ and producer has been a consistent purveyor of quality techno and house music over the last decade.   Early singles for Trapez, Cynosure and Tic Tac Toe led to a fruitful relationship with Soma Recordings, the label run by the Slam guys.  Mark released his 2008 album ‘Jupiter Jive’ on the Glasgow based label, as well as a handful of singles, and has also released on the Hypercolour, Little Helpers and Cityfox labels.

DJ work has taken Mark far and wide, playing for the likes of Fabric, Panorama Bar and Space as well as festivals like Rockness and T In The Park.

So delve into this great Cycle mix and a drum n bass extravaganza in the Source mix, from Mark Henning….

Trainspotters Nightmare was a label i used to run with Glenn Wilson of Planet Rhythm, between 1995-1997. It all started with me releasing an obscured 2 track black 12 inch vinyl with no visible title. An idea my friend Danijel Alpha had was to only inscribe the titles onto the vinyl itself, so no unauthorised trainspotters could see what records you where playing.  And after receiving many interesting demo tapes from all corners of the world, a platform was needed where we could release trax that didnt fully fit on our labels H-Productions and P-Rhythm. 

So we continued and during the 2 years we managed to launch 13 vinyl releases, including special colored vinyls and double 12 inch albums. We realized that it would not be fair towards the other artists, if we didnt place names and titles on the vinyl centerlabels. This resulted in us addapting a Trainspotters Nightmare logo in Brail writing which suited the “Ghetto Booty” sound template of the label - being rusty, broken, skewed or even a bit out of sync.

From Finland we have some truly exotic jacking tracks by Ari Jukka, Jori Hulkkonen and Tuomas Juhani. Austria is represented by V-Key from Vienna, that also had an amazing electronic dancemusic scene back in the 90s. Chicago pioneers Steve Poindexter, Gene Hunt and The Beatjunkies bring in the scent of legendary clubs like Warehouse and the Music Box. Besides my own name Cari Lekebusch there also are a few tracks released under my pseudonyme Mr Barth, and the Twobasementboys consist of me and Frankfurtian original freaknoisefunker Oliver Bondzio.

Now, 20 years after the labels discontinuation, it was time for me to record a nice retrospective line through the catalog. Enjoy the jack! * with peace / Cari *

Trainspotters Nightmare - Retrospective (1995 - 1997)

PHNCST264 - Stephen Brown

Connecting with drum n bass in her mid-teens - Tasha has had her head in music for much of her existence. It's been quite a dynamic path for the London based DJ. She started out her career gaining ground in the d'n'b world being championed by Metalheadz affiliate Storm and landed a regular spot in Rinse FM before being turned onto the techno sound she most closely identifies with these days. 

There's actually a fair few strings to her bow - active as a promoter for over 10 years, Tasha current party Neighbourhood recently moved from Dance Tunnel to Pickle Factory where she hosts intimate gatherings of music heads and line ups made up of artist that she quite simply holds personal admiration for. There's also a label of the same name that's a platform for producers that lie in this sphere of appraisal with both Randomer and Kamikaze Space Programme contributing cuts to the releases so far.

She's pretty on point when she controls the decks herself, too. Any listen to her current Radar Radio shows tell of an avid collector with knowledge that reaches back into the roots as much as she looks forward into current emerging sonics. Ultimately though, her mixing style in the club tells of someone with a level of poise and flow that is hard to come by. The promo mix she's recorded ahead of her debut in Room One on 24th February where she's set to play as part of Rodhad's takeover of the club, demonstrates this perfectly.

Tasha - fabric x Rødhåd Curates Promo Mix

Boxia has had a fast entry into techno. He put out his first EP in 2015, and soon after he signed his track 'Revolution' Adam Beyer’s massive Drumcode label.  He’s found a similar level of success when it comes to playing out too. Last year, he landed some of the biggest shows available on the circuit playing an impressive range of gigs that included Junction 2 and Drumcode’s large-scale London parties at Tobacco Dock. There are plenty of reasons for Boxia’s route to success. Aside from talent and hard work, he’s actually been involved in music for an exceptionally long time: he bought his first records when he was only 11, and spent many nights visiting us in Farringdon in our earlier years. 

Then there’s also his relationship with Alan Fitzpatrick, who’s been something of a mentor to him for the last year or so. With recent releases on Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave label and an appearance coming up at the label’s showcase in Room Two on 1st April, Boxia dropped us a mix and introduced himself to tell us more about his background.

FACT mix 594 - Tin Man (Mar '17)

Underground Resistance founder Robert Hood is one of the pioneering old guard who is still doing it right today. He is the epitome of Detroit house and techno, serving up pulsing minimal, and has been since the early nineties. Last year he joined our label for a series of three EPs entitled Paradygm Shift and a full length which will see the light of day the 22nd of May. The project is aimed to take techno out of its current comfort zone and very much did so, as does Hood himself whenever he plays one of our parties. 

Now he has served up the latest mix in our series and once again subverts expectation. His hour long Paradygm Shift Mix water no time in establishing a rock solid kick drum, and then proceeds to colour the airwaves around it with hypnotic hi hat loops, rougher claps, and raw synths. As ever with Hood, it is a bouncy and fast moving mix that hurries you along at a great rate, but because there are so many thrills along the way, you are more than willing to go wherever he wants to take you.

As boyhood friends, Dutchie @Jan-van-Kampen DJ’ed with founders Casper Tielrooij and Thomas Martojo as Dekmantel Soundsystem in Holland. Anno 2017, the skilled DJ is flying solo quite succesfully. He layed down a super sunny disco set on Boiler Room Dekmantel last year, and now he also comes correct in our mix series. 

Over the course of ninety minutes he digs out a diverse mix of music from the moody spoken word opener through some breezy house and loose organic grooves. Always hovering around a steady tempo, its the details around the beats that keep you locked here - they are intoxicating and deep, late night and playful, with many different shades of heady house all touched upon in smooth and seductive fashion.

Dekmantel Podcast 121 - Jan van Kampen

This week we turn to another close Dekmantel family member in Matrixxman. In just a couple of years the American has emerged as one of the foremost producers in the house and techno world. His rugged analogue sounds have come thick and fast over nearly 20 EPs and are famous for their balance of quality, invention and diversity. Never sticking to the same sound for long, his Sector series on our label proved that, roaming as it does from repetitive peak time techno futurism to mind melting acid and back again. Always focussed squarely on the dance floor, that carries over into his always body jerking sets, many of which have been at Dekmantel events and festivals around the world. 

Over the course of an hour here, the artist goes deep into a streamlined, intergalactic techno soundworld. Supple synths are layered up over pressurised and rubbery drums, manic melodies circle the grooves and there is a sense of darkness to the whole thing that is truly compelling. As energy levels ramp up throughout, you can’t help but go hard right until the blissed out ambient end game.

As the final few kick drums pounded out of the speakers on Monday night, one person waved their shirt wildly. An inflatable ball soared through the air. Everyone was dancing. Up on stage, Ben Sims and Truncate smiled as they faded out the last track of a blistering set, bringing down the curtain on a memorable weekend.

Marina "Dr" Rubinstein comes at her DJing from the perspective of the dancer. She grew up loving to get down to techno back home in Israeli (though she is Russian born and Berlin based) and will always be a hardcore raver at heart. It means her sets are defined by a certain energetic dynamism that finds her calling on acid, 90s rave and pumping techno to get the floor sweating. She does so at key places like ://about blank and Berghain, and this summer will play Dekmantel Festival. 

Her adventurous spirit and quest for that “special feeling” on the dance floor characterises her mix for us. It is seventy minutes of grooves designed to make you move, from rugged techno to slippery electro via pulsing kick drums that burrow deep into the night. Contrasting dark with light, wild acid with more streamlined sounds and overtly physical tracks with those that are more cerebral, it makes for an arresting trip filled with special dance floor moments.

Dekmantel Podcast 128 - Dr. Rubinstein

Resom is part of the beating heart of Berlin. As a resident at the city’s ://about blank she creates resonant musical soundtracks and very real dance floor experiences from whatever is needed - be it electro, techno, house or ambient. Rather than focussing on genres, Resom focusses on a range of moods and does the same on her travels whether playing our festival in Amsterdam or an intimate club in London. Also a political activist, booking agent and gender equality campaigner, she is a new breed of artist who is mindful of how important her voice and platform can be in the dance world. 

The mix she serves up for us is one of there longest we’ve had, and over more than two hours offers pad-laced stimulation for the mind as well as jerky machine rhythms that will make you move.“This mix has no deeper concept then to simply let go from having a concept”, Resom adds. Her contribution to our series is often dark and stripped back, there are curveball moments of wildness and heads down passages of electronic funk. Typically free from easy genre signifiers, this is dynamic music that always keeps you guessing.

Dekmantel Podcast 132 - Resom

“Whilst preparing a selection of tracks to play out in Madrid at Cassette Club, I hit record and came up with this. It’s a pretty good reflection, at least in the harder moments of the recording, of what I’ll be playing out on Sunday the 3rd of September 2017.”
