Curses

DBFC, signed to Different Recordings late last year are set to release their second single for the label when they unveil ‘Autonomic’ on April 29th.

Fronted by Mancunian David Shaw and Parisian Dombrance, this Anglo-French outfit comes together as a four-way collective, not a band  as such but more a club.  Featuring  alongside the duo come  percussionist Guillaume Rossel and bassist Victor Paillet, the DBFC vision is entrenched within the French electronic music scene but, as witnessed on their debut for Different Recordings, ‘Get It All’, they succeeded in creating a sound that encompasses their multi-facetted talents.

We premiere ‘Autonomic’ today and heralds its arrival inhabiting a more dance-orientated world and whilst eschewing elements of their previous single..

DBFC - Autonomic

@cursesforever

Curses, AKA Luca Venezia, plays dark, romantic house and techno, punctuated 
by ethereal melodies, pounding rhythms and flashes of ’80s Italo disco.
Venezia’s DJ sets and productions are anchored in house and techno, but pull together everything from cinematic film scores to post punk, whilst incorporating live singing in his own rockabilly like style. These eclectic influences collide in a unique blend of hard-hitting grooves and dreamy, nocturnal vibes.

Venezia runs a monthly Rinse France radio show, which has featured an ever-changing 
lineup of guest DJs including Pink Skull, Crimes Of The Future, Tronik Youth and Ian 
Blevins to name a few. He releases via his own Safer At Night imprint, but also with labels such as NEIN Records, Let’s Play House, Throne Of Blood and OFF Recordings.

Steve Cass & Justin Wilson met at high school in the late 80's and began listening to each other's music collections  whilst bunking school. Their taste spanned everything from Simple Minds to The Egyptian Lover but they really started getting serious about their music after hearing cassette tapes that were going around their local town and in particular a DJ from Windsor called Richard Bell who happened to be living with some older friends who had travelled South really caught their attention.

They started collecting the records they were hearing on the mix tapes and clubs and over the years spent a fortune mail ordering records from London's Flying, Fat Cat & Tag records, Frankfurt's Delirium and Glasgow's Bomba records and are still in touch today with some of the guys who worked or owned these shops.

As the record collections grew they wanted to share the sounds with friends so fast forward to May 1995 when they opened the doors to the first ever NSA night in the basement of a local football club.

The night was a huge success and quickly evolved into a fortnightly party which was when the journey began.  In between the NSA parties they frequented Edinburgh's Pure at the venue where NSA went on to relocate and SLAM that happened on a Friday at the Arches in Glasgow hosted by Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle who go by the same name and have played with the guys on a good few occasions.
The foundations of all these nights depended on the residents who knew how to set the scene and NSA offered the same opportunity for Steve & Justin to hone their skills in the art of the warmup as well as playing longer sets as they rotated between resident only parties and the guest DJs they would ask along to the club.

Track selection was the key thing for them and is still very evident in their sets to this day as they opt out of playing the latest big records and try to select music that will stand the test of time or has a bit more depth to it.  This is a far cry from a lot of clubs you go to these days with the music being banged out as soon as the doors open with little thought going into it. 
The same ethos is applied to the careful selection of the guests they would ask to play and the night must also have had an impact on them as leading names on the circuit return time and time again as well as contribute to their recent soundcloud series that was launched last year. www.soundcloud.com/nsaofficial
Andrew Weatherall is one DJ who has been regularly playing at NSA for over 15 years now after guesting at their 5th birthday party back in 2000. He described it as "a proper acid house party" after his recent appearance with Sean Johnston. SLAM are another example of world class DJs who return to play with Steve & Justin in the small basement which is worlds apart from the huge events they play week in week out.

These decisions are rewarded as the NSA parties always fill up and get going early rather than people just turning up for the main guest. It has also resulted in a loyal crowd that spans a couple of generations and is still supported by people who came along to the early parties as well as new people discovering it all the time. The people make  NSA and it has one of the friendliest crowds who really know there music and has been the birth place to a lot of great friendships.

Die Wilde Jagd - Drachenfels

We're delighted to give an exclusive to this beauty of a track from super talented Kiki Toao & Rombout.  If you haven't had the fortune to hear of them before, for sure you will be looking out for them in future...

The @ShamaniacMovement presents Sham-Dee, a piece of music medicine, derived from the strange process of becoming a shaman and combining it with ceremonial music magick.

Sham-Dee is the story of a shaman's journey, the magical flight of exploration of the Soul's Realm, traveling across the oceans of Life and Death, while blissfully tripping on the cosmic embrace of shamanic initiation and experiencing the healing power of Spirit. A vision transformed into music, part of the soundtrack of the life of Kiki Toao and Rombout, since Kiki's calling to the spiritual path.

The Shamaniac Movement is, apart from KT&R's personal art and music project, a platform for a small but tight-knit community in The Netherlands, slowly spreading around the globe, aiming for spiritual development through creative experimentation.

PREMIERE - The Shamaniac Movement - Sham-Dee

Release Dat 12/12/16

The Reign in the Selfies EP is the latest release from emerging electronica and techno producer @PeteCallard on @detsync. The 6 track package features remixes from Curses, Wade Bennet, Owen Ezard & TKUZ with each remixer adding their own brand of electronica to each of the tracks.

We're really digging the whole release but Callard's Time Walrus really stood out for us... a dark and trippy number which we reckon is going to be a big dancefloor hit.

PREMIERE - Pete Callard - Time Walrus

TRACKLIST ON THUMP

Curses - The Deep(er) End Mix for THUMP

Number 32 in the series is @nsaofficial, Justin and Steve, friends since high school who have forged a great reputation as both dj's and promoters, hosting their NSA parties in Edinburgh with amazing guests over the years. We love their style and reckon they're two of the best track selectors around. Check out this beauty of a mix and gain a glimpse into their world.

1) Introduce yourself? 

Scottish DJ’s & Promoters No Strings Attached aka Steve Cass & Justin Wilson.

2) What have been your highlights from the last 12 months?

We had a great 2016 settling back into Edinburgh’s underground scene. All the parties we put on have been fantastic for many different reasons but it was a pleasure to have Optimo play for us for the first time.

3) What do you have lined up for the coming year?

We had a longer break than expected this Winter so we will be picking up our bi-monthly NSA presents again in Edinburgh’s Mash House kicking of with A Love From Outer Space on March 10th which has already sold out.

In May we celebrate 22 years of our club night which has lasted a lot longer than either of us anticipated and we have put together a very special line up to mark the occasion with Andrew Weatherall & Ivan Smagghe back to back all night long.

We will also be playing at this years Alfresco Festival in Tunbridge wells with a whole host of great acts, starting our irregular club at Sneaky Pete’s which is a really cool small space which we hope will have a similar intensity to the early parties we put on. We will be doing something for the Edinburgh Festival and then bringing up a few new acts to NSA before the year is out.
