KIDDO (dj set) - abstract science radio chicago [2017]

Name: Elly Schook
Alias: Kiddo (@djkiddo)
Pronouns: She/Her
Location: Chicago, IL, USA

Influences: Stylistically, I've always been very influenced by the musical vocabularies of Detroit and Chicago techno and house. I also get pretty excited about Maurizio/Basic Channel/MVO stuff, Sheffield/Birmingham hard techno, spacey electro/breaks from The Hague, and pretty much anything with acidic sounds. DJs who have inspired me for a long time include Daniel Bell, Josh Werner, DJ Heather, Move D, Maayan Nidam, DVS1, Lena Wilikins, and pretty much every iteration/lineup/moniker of all the Underground Resistance artists. 

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Walking and Falling - a DJ workshop and mentorship program for woman-identifying and nonbinary music enthusiasts

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: It's easy to fall into the inevitable "impostor syndrome"/self-criticism trap. Remember that you're doing something healthy for your mind and body by sharing the music you enjoy. Play what makes your brain and body dance how you like hearing it played - the rest will fall into place. Also remember you are not alone. Seek out and lean on supportive, like-minded folks to navigate the more trying aspects of the music industry.

Though this mix is a hypnotic blend of precisely-mixed house, Kiddo is known for her ability to work in a range of genres, from driving techno to acid to Chicago house.  Enjoy!

Deep Breakfast 090 - Bålsam

The last mix of 2020 comes from Jonah Sharp (@reflecto), electronic mainstay and part of 'Virtual Dreams' as Space Time Continuum. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Welcome to the series Jonah. Originally from Edinburgh, San Francisco resident since 1992, do you still live in San Francisco?

JS: Actually I recently just moved back to SF after spending most of 2020 in the UK. I had planned to be in Europe for an extended break from the US but Covid saw an end to that and my plans had to change. I miss British and European culture. I have family and friends there so I intend to be back over as soon as I can!

MFM: According to your discography the majority of your output started to shape up right after you moved abroad, in '91. How would you explain this creative outburst? 

JS: Before I arrived in San Francisco i was still figuring out how to produce the music that I wanted to make so when I got here I started to collect gear in earnest - it was a little moment in time when most people thought analog synths and drums sounded shit so I managed to find a TR-909 for $150, a Roland SH101 at the flea market and so on. So yes, suddenly having some decent gear and fun gigs to play was very inspiring! I did feel a kind of creative freedom being so far from South London and the pressures of living there as an artist. SF in the 90’s was very affordable for artists and it gave us the freedom to really focus on the music.
 
MFM: You started your own label Reflective in '93 and had quite a busy release schedule, especially during '95/'96, before it suddenly seemed to stop right after. What happened? 

JS: I started Reflective in '93, the year my first son was born. Flurescence EP was my first solo release and it got noticed around the world so that enabled me to keep putting releases out. With the momentum of the Terence McKenna collab album, things were going pretty well. But what we found was that even though there are lots of amazing labels in the US, it was actually pretty hard to sell them domestically so most of our stock was exported to Europe and Japan. We ended up pressing in the UK and running the label from SF and that presented problems so I had to put the release schedule on hold. At that time I had also signed a deal with Astralwerks so had contractual obligations to deliver albums and tour. It was a very busy time and by 1997 when our second son was born we decided to take a hiatus from the label. Not to say the label is gone forever though!
 
MFM: Flurescence, now found its way to the Virtual Dreams compilation, almost 30 years later. How does it feel that your older music is being re-released and rediscovered by newer generations?

JS: I am very happy and honored to be part of the Virtual Dreams compilation. Yes, there seems to be a bit of attention for this time period of electronic music at the moment, and the chill out thing in general. With so many online resources, everything is discoverable by anyone so all those tiny labels like Reflective that were putting out small runs of 1000 records (that was a small run then) are maybe enjoying some retroactive attention now. 
 
MFM: Does this new interest change your motivation and/or inspiration in the studio maybe?

JS: I follow my own interests and direction when it comes to making music but reaching new audiences has to gratify the artist whose work was made for sharing. My development as an electronic musician has come through thirty years of studio experimentation, initially with hardware and then incorporating digital software. When I made Fluorescence in 1993 there was no computer in my studio, but by the early 2000s San Francisco was the epicenter of computer innovation, people like my friend Josh Clayton were writing amazing software and so I went off on a long exploratory trip to integrate digital technology both in my studio and in my live rig. My aim right now in the studio is the same as always: make sounds and keep the good ones.

"This session was recorded on the eve of the 2020 winter solstice. It is a collection of sounds and excerpts from pieces of music that have been personally healing for me when I've needed reflection and stillness during times of chaos and uncertainty. I can only hope that the experience of listening to this recording will do the same for others."

THEO + SAMOVAR = THEOVAR

It has been a while. While our scene is hibernating until the better days we are all hoping for, we know dedicated listeners never stop listening. And dedicated DJs like Theo - @tho-besan-on and Samovar - @smvr [@binarysoundmusic] never stop playing records. To help you live through the mess our lives have become, behold their ultimate potara fusion : THEOVAR. Expect the juiciest house music there is, crispy, well-cooked, sexy. The kind of mix you could play in literally every situation, from a boring apéro to a decadent afterparty - anywhere really, people would dance.

OTGCAST004 - Mari.te

Dose is pleased to present the first instalment of Dose Radio, a new mix series dedicated to exploratory sounds that elevate and compliment the psychedelic experience. The first session comes courtesy of the beloved Canadian selector Dane. Over the last decade he's made a name for himself worldwide with his distinct and playful disco sound informed by a youth spent behind the counter at Edmonton's finest now defunct record store Treehouse Records.

The mix he's prepared for us recants the energy of the chill-out rooms of yesteryear and will provide some world class background noise when you're establishing "set and setting" for your next trip. 
Here's what he had to say about it.

"The mix is basically a nice gentle wave that washes up on to one of the sweetest ambient tunes ever, a huge ending. But really it's just meant to be a nice ride to glide to. Background for your playground."
