Simon Spencer - Rocket Science

Paisley Dark radio show hosted by Rising Edge Radio.

     Nevena Stankovic aka Tsunamica is a digger, selector, vinyl collector, journalist, radio host, DJ, party starter... but above all, an absolute music lover with a PhD in Political Science from Belgrade, Serbia.

    Her interest in music began very early, as a child, she started to play the piano and completed music school. Her love for music developed rapidly as well as modern technology, the piano was soon replaced by turntables and music consoles. 

     If we have to choose a word that represents her style and vision, that would be “eclectic”. She plays whatever suits her at the moment, her sound is seductive that goes from the most elegant downtempo and chillout to deep hypnotic and Balearic beats. Passing through a slow-burning cosmic disco, acid house, and freaky space sounds ‘till explosive Italo bombs and late 70s and 80s the wildest disco and Yugo jewels which is resulting in a cosmic mixture that makes her sets a real interplanetary experience.

    She likes to blend genres and epochs, strong beats with smooth acid-tinged melodies, traditional and ethnic with modern and tribal sounds. Her exotic downtempo and slo-mo selections are influenced by a multitude of cultures from around the world. A fusion of musical styles and her solar mood are always keeping her in good vibes and well connected with the club crowds, whilst the club scene is paying attention to what comes next on her turntables. 

     DJ-ing for more than 10 years and involved in the underground music scene for over 15 years, there are no Dj names of the scene's prime movers and shakers that she has not been involved alongside with them in some way - hosting, djing, promoting.
 Inspired and learned from the best such as Jose Padilla, DJ Harvey, Todd Terje, Derrick Carter, Andrew Weatherall, Sean Johnston, Phil Mison, Kenneth Bager, Gilles Peterson, Felix Dickinson, Richard Sen, Justin Strauss, Juan MacLean, Eric Duncan, Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Sasha and many more, her selections and mixing are skillful, recognizable and very unique, guided by the heart. Nevena's favourite artist include Curses, Cosmo Vitelli, Manfredas, Scott Fraser to name a few.

      Currently, she is broadcasting a weekly radio show about Balearic and chillout music, named The Sunset Lovers on Ibiza radio, where she is showcasing regular mixes from high-caliber guests. She is also hosting another resident show 'Cosmic Carousel' on radio D59B, where she is presenting more obscure cosmic disco records taking her audience on real intergalactic journeys.

Jamie Tiller @ HÖR (Berlin) 15.10.2020

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.

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.

MFM Mix 023: Jonah Sharp

As usual in good tradition now here at Trushmix. Cato Canari is back  with another new years mix! Deep, tech, trance, emotional, techno and the harder sounds, surprising like we always get from the Tokyo based Norwegian underground man. Always on point!
A more subtle and darker leaning party oriented mix. Somehow a reflection of this past weird and off year. But there is light in the tunnel! We keep it rolling and we keep it positive!

Again as last years reminder for this year to come as well.
Hope it will be a way better year for everybody. And as always let's keep peace and unity in mind, respect each other and let the good vibes take over for 2021! 100% and more!

Enjoy!

Montreal-based DJ, producer and label owner Francis Latrielle, better known as Priori, joins us for the 79th edition of the Phonica Mix Series.

Priori has become a firm favourite of ours here at Phonica over the past couple of years. His releases, which crossover through many electronic genres, from house and techno to IDM and ambient, have been picked up by such labels as Echovolt and Dust E-1’s Dust World in recent years, although much of his musical output, including his phenomenal 2019 album, ‘On A Nimbus’, comes via his own label, NAFF, which he co-runs with fellow Montrealer Ex-Terrestrial.

Head on over to Off The Record to check out the full feature, including an interview, where we talked about his past, present, and future plans, life in lockdown, Montreal’s music scene, and more. Enjoy!
