* FULL INTERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-emissive/

Fresh off his recent release on Vancouver staple Pacific Rhythm, Toronto-based artist Emissive (real name Evan Vincent) has been doing bits in his hometown and beyond. His 'Wave Science' EP is a house masterpiece. By virtue of the reel-to-reel used in its production, we hear warm and saturated analogue drums underlying soulful synth stabs and funked basslines, ultimately creating a uniquely hazy cosmic funk feeling throughout the record. In addition to his solo work under the alias Emissive, he is also one half of the house music duo Active Surplus alongside his friend Ian Syrett. It's safe to say, we're huge fans of his work here at BB HQ. 

Aside from his production work, Emissive is also an incredible DJ - hosting a monthly show on n10.as radio as well as performing live sets in and around his beloved hometown of Toronto. A listen through his recorded sets paints a picture of a mature musician, clearly influenced by the early Black American pioneers of house music - we thoroughly recommend you checking those sets out for yourselves too ; )  

We had a great time catching up with Emissive - here's what we chatted about....

For the non-montrealers Pascale Project might just be a producer on their radar, but for those living in this city and involved one way or another with the scene she is this wild, poised and enthusiastic force that simply can not go unnoticed. Whether unleashing 140 bpm rave joints with a punk attitude or crafting her extremely singular brand of lush and enticing house tracks (songs?), she just pushes forward, not second guessing her impulses towards dancefloor ecstasy in all its form.

Teaming up with La Rama -another essential force keeping Montreal dancefloors alive- Pascale is releasing a new EP, “Where’s The Party?”, where she finds herself asserting her will to dance and make you dance more than ever. We asked her a few questions about the new EP and her work. She was nice enough to let us know more about her process and to record a new entry in our Mixed-By series.

Corina MacDonald aka CMD has been busy recently, releasing two EPs in the last few months of 2021; Precarious Pursuit on Bandcamp and Social Factory Reset with the US label Fixed Rhythms. For Montrealers, her voice might be familiar from CKUT radio where she hosts the program Modular Systems every other Sunday. As a producer and DJ, she has performed at editions of MUTEK, Piknic Electronik, Igloofest, and in many of Montreal’s club nights and venues, where she fuses synth-laden aesthetics of acid, techno, electro, and house music. This mix is representative of some of her musical predispositions, setting the more abstract and ambient up against some techno and electro gems, mixing up the old guard and newcomers alike.

Next up in the BB Mixed By series is multi-faceted producer and DJ Unkown Mobile aka DJ Leaves. A staple within the Canadian scene, and eclectic as ever - just have a listen to some of his releases and you will notice how they vary considerably. From his club stomping EP for Planet Euphorique to the etheral spacey soundscapes found on his Pacific Rhythm LP - the Vancouver native never fails to surprise us with each release, whilst still maintaining his distinctive hazy sound. We are gassed to have had the chance to speak to him, and here is what we chatted about....

MIXED BY/ Unknown Mobile

EE08A - 02 Heart On Fire (RFX Extended Edit)

Classic Me has been producing off the radar for over a decade, and it’s with pride that LAN gives the German artist a spotlight for the first time.


‘Cycles’ is an eleven track exploration into the ways classical, house music and its adjacent genres play off one another. Unsurprisingly for an artist with experience playing the violin, the album leads both in tracklist and concept with cinematic strings, which then soar into groovy basslines and slouchy kicks.


Classic Me’s confidence in production is levelled by spontaneity in the recording process (sometimes casually recording from a tablet on the go). Mastered in Paris by engineer Marine Benabou, the result is an interesting balance between play and perfection: though many of the tracks hint at J Dilla or Moodyman with their suggestions of tape loops and sampling, the orchestration uses hyperreal acoustics to bring echoes of Daft Punk, millennial Chemical Brothers and French touch back into the mix. 


It’s this tying together of classical influences with dance music’s more classic elements - hip-hop melodies, deep house vocals, funk basslines and the brightness of disco - which make up the unique sound of Classic Me. Each track turns a different face of the prism toward the listener, weaving an album that is cinematic and wistful without losing sight of its groove.

PREMIERE : Classic Me - Wicked

„Movement“ is the first album by Aleix Gimeno aka Gimenö, out on TUTU this 2022.

„Creation without complexes doing what I like the most without the commercial purpose. MOVEMENT symbolizes my musical evolution thanks to the countries and cities/areas where I have lived and I have been impregnated with their tendencies and cultures. It also defines its musical composition (of the album), in sounds and rhythms in constant movement using modulations and polyrhythmic sequences.“

„It embodies my musical vision within electronica and mainly techno. A journey that shows my musical influence in all my stages as a dj and producer, going back to my musical origins (that few people know) until today. It is the 1st musical delivery on LP of the Gimenö project (more to come), which has been created during the last 4 years with a change in the way of working both in the studio and live. Merging the musical creation with different hardware synthesizers, modulars and analog fx with the latest digital technology of music creation and production. „

02 - Paragon
03 - Ralos
04 - Happy Valley (D-Mark Remix)
 
Dub Taylor’s ‘Happy Valley EP’ was originally released in 2001 on the 3B label, one of the many exploits of the R.A.N.D. Posse. In recent years the rather rare vinyl copies of this Dub Techno/Dub House classic became more and more sought after and many requests to rerelease it at least in digital form, with modern mastering, came in. So D-Mark, who of course is no other than Jan Gabler, took on the challenge to finally make the three rather experimental sounding gems fit for 2022. We also added an original remix to Happy Valley. Jan aka D-Mark produced it back in 2001,  but unfortunately finished it only a few days too late to be added to the original release and therefor it was sleeping in the vaults for the last 21 years.
We hope you dig.
 
All tracks remastered by Jan Gabler in Berlin.

Exclusive: Azemad - Helwan

Cultural crosser Azemad not only crossed boarders when moving from chaotic Cairo to chaotic Berlin but incorporates the best of both worlds in his music. Therefore his works include sounds, elements, drums and vocals with an Arabic and African-touch or influence and notes from the capital’s Techno or Electronic music scene. The result is, contrary to the assumption probably, a homogeneous new EP - also due the artist’s technological development from the EP’s predecessor Dreams - that showcases Azemad’s artistic being and identity at the same time. Shortly before the release of Afriki on Berlin label Awkwardly Social, the artists spoke to Torture the Artist about the production process, the stories that come with each title, his musical progress and inspiration as well as the influences of both metropolis on his music.

Interview

EXCLUSIVE: Azemad - Helwan [Awkwardly Social]

First written without a comma, Boy, crush  was meant as a hommage for a very special boy in the non-binary artist’s life. The comma in between the two words varies the meaning: it is now also meant as an invitation for all men to collectively crush manhood (and all its toxic traits).

ASA 808 announce their 'Boy, crush' album that is set to be released October 28th via TOYS Berlin.

Boy, Crush

APPAREL PREMIERE: ASA 808 - Boy, crush (Extended Mix) [TOYS.]

Lutz Hartmann & Clemens Kynast alias Klinke auf Cinch have a fine sense in collaborating with talented (yet unknown) artists. This time its a the great musician "Postnegative" from Africa. After a versatile EP called "Paradise" he put all his soul in this chilling deephouse track. Powerful voice, mellow pianos, a playful beat and wonderful guitar & trumpet licks. An outstanding summertrack. "I'm in love with music" is not just a claim - its an attitude. klinke auf cinch at its best.

APPAREL PREMIERE: Klinke auf Cinch - Void (Metaboman Remix) [Old New Records]

The road stretched for miles and miles, disappearing beyond the horizon where the land met the sky. Dusk was beginning to set in, turning the sky a mixture of pink and orange hues that swirled and danced over head. The highway cleared and silence began to fall, the road ahead belonged to them now, it was theirs for the taking. Pedal to the metal, the car quickly gathered steam, picking up dust as they headed for nowhere in particular. There was no need for a destination, it was all about the journey.

00:AM! Where do we begin – although, if you’re a Montreal reader, chances are you don’t really need an introduction to this prolific trio – they’re literally everywhere! And damn do they deserve to be, after three years of regularly gracing us with a plethora of crazy, crazy acts from around the globe, invading unassuming Montreal pubs with sound, smoke and lotsa sweat in local-DJs-only Pub Club parties, and, as of last year, combining their cosmopolitan links with their dedication to community in releasing their first V/A record as the 00:AM label – you really can’t fit all their work in one sentence… buy fear not we’ve got an entire interview!

We had a little chat with them not so long ago; the guys reflect on three years of hard work and hard partying together in Montreal, share some personable anecdotes and hot tips, and even clue in on the next V/A release! Enjoy the read whilst listening to their Mixed By, kindly recorded for as whilst on support duties for Galcher Lustwerk at Newspeak Montreal.
