Ben Sims Circuit War 2 (Studio Mix) 2003-ish

Inspired by the sounds of the ‘90s, @gaston-volpe's versatile sets blend genres such as Dub, Detroit and Hypnotic Techno, which combined with his fast tempo and continuous groove, create a perfect atmosphere on the dance floor.

He has been at the forefront of the underground electronic scene in Buenos Aires, being a resident in several parties for many years, which have lead to him being showcased at the best Techno clubs of the country.

He’s managed to edit several of his productions on labels such as @uncageofficial, @subsist and @sungate-records. Due to his continuous efforts, he has been supported by artists such as Ben Sims, Oscar Mulero, Jeroen Search, DJ Bone, Kaiser, Vil, Alexander Kowalski, Subradeon, Tripeo and many others. 

He is now focused on his new vinyl releases on labels like @frenzynl, OHM and Mitsubasa, all whilst still doing podcasts for great channels.

GUEST SERIES : Volpe

The fast paced, hypnotic, layered, and relatively modern techno set you hear in this recording was played for the closing of the first edition of Skin at Club Atelier Amsterdam on 27/03/2022

Skin is a fresh new organisation that seeks to widen the scope of sounds during a club experience, instead of zooming in on a niche.

///////////////////////////////////////////////
////About this set / long read / nerd talk////
//////////////////////////////////////////////

I wanted to do something different for this night, so I experimented with a new approach to my preparation, organising playlists with tracks by what kind of sound design and moods they contain, and putting them within folders that indicated the general intensity in order to slowly ramp up the tension. This groundwork allowed me to prepare an arc for a deep set where I could make long layered mixes while maintaining the groove, speed and improvisation I consider to be recognizable features of when I DJ in a club.

Although this set also sustains a steady groove and flow, it is still a departure from my usual, more instinctive way of playing, where I tend to switch more impulsively between styles and themes, mixing tracks that have pronounced rhythmic elements with tracks that have very memorable basslines and hooks, especially from earlier decades, call it old school, 90s, 00s, retro or outdated if you want. I do this in order to keep a sense of playfulness and unpredictability going (fu n）with selections that have a distinct character.

This set was more about consistency, atmosphere and subtle transitions. The aim was to have the music slowly progress over the course of the set but without it becoming a static affair. This is why I completely avoid looping tracks, as I want their sounds to continuously evolve, and the phrasing in their structure to be continuously accentuated throughout the mix. 

It might not sound quite like what you would expect from a Comrade Winston DJ set, but I actually had a lot of fun constantly keeping two tracks in the mix while preparing for the third to take over, slowly stacking upon the current mood instead of rapidly switching between different ones. Prefering not to rely on the element of surprise but rather slowly reach a boiling point and to enjoy the ride.

Recorded with a Xone92 and 3x CDJ2000s

Let me know what you think.
X Comrade

Chontane joins for DifferentSound Podcast #120.

Growing up in Berlin, originating from Ukraine, Chontane started playing in his city’s clubs at the mere age of 19. Starting things off with a residency at the Krach nights in Humboldthain and now having played at some of the most prestigious clubs like Tresor, ://about blank, OHM, and Griessmuehle, Chontane can be increasingly found blurring the lines between techno, breaks, and electro in the German capital.

Part of the new wave of producers more invested in sound design and razor-sharp productions than ever before, Chontane’s early studies in music and sound design allow for surgical precision; the results of which can be found in his densely produced tracks. His sound is anything but conforming, pulling in UK-style rhythms rethought at times through twitchy IDM arrangements to add to his recognizable punch. As a result, his tracks stand at a stylistic crossroads between various dance genres, easily slipping into just about anyone’s tracklist if their goal is to get people moving. With his first record release in 2018 still receiving praise and support, Chontane has wasted no time in reaffirming his capabilities. With another successful collaborative release on Magic Power with WERK co-founder J.Manuel and a 4 track EP on the Special Projects sub-label of Radio Slave’s Rekids imprint, his most anticipated release yet is on standard-setting label ARTS in 2021. With his roots grown deep in the world’s techno capital, Chontane’s career is well on its way to becoming international, having joined the VOLTAGE roster in 2021. Ready to push boundaries and surprise partygoers with unexpected blends to fire off his erratic taste in music, Chontane’s mixes and productions represent today’s necessity for the perfect balance between consistent innovation and guaranteed efficiency.

Reclaim Your City 506 | Alarico (Bergamo)

Boss of Katana Records, also known as one half of Italian duo Funk Assault, Bergamo-based operator Alarico steps in the series with two hours of hi-octane state of siege. Pulling out all the stops on his way to peak-time bliss, Alarico multiplies frantic angle-shifts and radical U-turns, nervously oscillating between raging uptempo whorls and fractured dystopian ambiences to weave his own compelling narrative that thinks and ticks outside the main genre’s box. Proper flawless and highly selective slice of mind-razing machine wares.

//MYCELIUM013 welcomes Dutch DJ and producer MYRA
-
Hailing from the Netherlands
MYRA’s ability to play an intimate sound to the crowd infront of her is done through a distinguished style that holds fast paced hypnotic elements with Detroit influenced trippy leads, and heavy baselines that provide a warm blanket underneath.
-
Being influenced by old school Hero’s as well as fresh names has allowed MYRA to connect the dots between old school and new school sounds, this principle bleeds out into her sets and production process.
-
“My ultimate goal is to lift up the crowd with pure passion and guide them to explore another dimension. This results in a mysterious experience and an ever-evolving trip from beginning to end”
