KMAH Radio Residency: The Choice Is Mine

Podcasts

For the 25th Techno.logy Mix we have an hour of high energy techno from Eastern Bloc barman Damien Bones aka Damon Jones.

Words from Damon:

"Living in Manchester the past 5 years and working in Eastern Bloc the past year and a half has definitely allowed for my music taste to expand. I’ve been collecting records since I moved here, and it’s turned into a bit of an obsession. Really looking forward to getting stuck into all the upcoming events in Manchester now things are open again."

Comments on the mix from Damon:

"No introduction on this one, just went straight in for an hour of fast paced fun. I always think playing a range of records from different eras is important, and the odd bargain bin gem is always worth throwing in. I had some brand new tracks in here as well as some from the early 90’s, with pretty much all of them coming from my all-time favourite artists and labels. Some honourable mentions being Unit Moebius, with Bunker Records being one of the most amazing labels out there - still putting out great stuff with their Darknet Series. Another label worth mentioning is Hooversound which are doing crazy stuff at the moment and are definitely worth keeping an eye on. Kept it quick with most of the records being pitched up as far as I could."

Back on the NTS airwaves this time representing Cong Burn.

Cong Burn w/ Bugs Groove on NTS Radio [15/01/2022]

Bugs Groove is a committed explorer of all shades of deep and dark electronics. First cutting his teeth as a DJ in his native Manchester, he then moved to Leeds for a few years to continue his musical activities, before recently making the move back home.

He's already firmly rooted himself in the city. Before his time in Leeds, you could find him playing regular stints in the SOUP bar and occasionally working behind the counter at Eastern Bloc, the tastefully curated record shop and music space in the Northern Quarter.

He's continued to put the graft in, and in the process has founded several of his own platforms as a way to celebrate the music and artists that inspire him. A few years back he launched Techno.logy, an underground mix series and community space that champions techno in its many forms, and more recently he's jumped into the world of promoting with his new club night Ost, bringing over the likes of Nick Höppner and Tama Sumo to play alongside himself.

There's plenty on the agenda gig-wise this year, both on home turf and overseas, so to kick off his summer schedule we asked him to take control of today's 'Shine A Light On' Mix. It's a real journey through the sounds that make up Bugs Groove's sound world. Starting at 96bpm and working his way all the way up to 175, he navigates everything from dub techno, minimal, electro and ghetto through to DnB, jungle, grime and much more.

Carve out a six hour period for this one and get stuck in, you won't regret it...

Bugs Groove: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Frankie Bromley is an 18-year-old vinyl-only techno DJ and producer from near Blackpool, UK. His sound is distinctly 4/4, hypnotic and minimal. He’s played extensively in Manchester and London at the likes of Eastern Bloc and Jaded. Frankie has had support from senior figures in the techno industry such as Ben Klock, Richie Hawtin and particularly Chris Liebing, who Frankie has developed a friendship with. I think it’s without a doubt that we can expect a bright future in the techno community from this young man. 

Comments on the mix from Frankie: 

"In this mix I didn’t really go into it with any particular direction in mind. It was made just for some fun and as something to listen back to so I can see where I can improve on my mixing. I pulled 18 records out randomly and I felt the vibe worked quite well all the way through! I wanted to try and keep it rolling but also to have fun and experiment with my mixing. There's plenty of music in here from my favourite producers such as Conforce, Reeko & Oscar Mulero."

1. Dedekind Cut - Spiral [Kranky]

A 170bpm mix inspired by the techno-dnb crossover sound associated with the Bristol-based label UVB-76 Music and artists like Homemade Weapons and Pessimist. I first came across this sub-genre a few years ago at the record shop I now work at Eastern Bloc and have been following it ever since. I was fortunate enough to go to a UVB-76 label night at the White Hotel recently to see the full force of this style of music in a club setting, which featured performances from key artists such as Karim Maas, Overlook and Pessimist. Needless to say it's all had a significant impression on me and with this show I'm aiming to showcase what I admire most about the sound in the form of a continuous club-focussed set. Enjoy!

Bugs Groove on NTS Radio [18/04/2020]

Hailing from Modena (Italy), Davide Cuoghi is a Manchester-based electronic music producer, sound designer and DJ who makes music and performs under the moniker Imaginary Part. He hosts a monthly residency on Reform Radio, influenced by ambient soundtracks, IDM, broken beats and leftfield techno.

Comments on the mix from Davide: 

"I made this mix out of big sound system tracks I’ve played on Reform and have generally been into recently. The lockdown made me realise how much I miss clubbing and so the mix pictures a dark sweaty club warm up selection of techno, bass, idm and broken beats, exploring some of my favourite producers and labels out there."

2. Forest Drive West - Other [AD 93]

Bio and comments on the mix from William:

"I go by the name Bingle Beats and have been DJing for about 7 years. I started out mixing purely dubstep, but across the last year or so I've been branching out to experimenting with other genres and sounds. Regardless of what I play, I try to walk the line between experimental and dancefloor functionality.

Before lockdown I tended to spend my weekend nights dancing in small, dingy venues; so over the last few weeks that's probably what I've found myself missing the most. Going into this mix I tried to recreate the kinda set you could expect to hear powering a shoobz in these dark basements. The whole mix was recorded on vinyl and leans heavily into more UK styles of techno where there's a lot of emphasis on groove and heavy bass."

Liyō aka Josh de Silva, co-founder of the night CULT, has worked hard to bring some of techno’s most revered names to Manchester, such as Objekt, Answer Code Request and Pearson Sound, whilst also promoting a host of local favourites such as Meat Free's Blasha & Allatt and Eastern Bloc's Kerrie. Josh is now London-based, helming a new project called Enormous Youngsters as well as working full time as a booking agent. 

Comments on the mix from Josh:

"In keeping with how I would normally play in a club, I tried to keep the mix flowing and building throughout, rather than just slinging one tune in after another. I also tried to touch on a few of the different corners of techno I’m into; from deeper, hypnotic 4/4 to more UK leaning broken techno. "

Quadrant Soundscape is the meeting of two minds. Tommy Harrison aka Asphalt Layer & Wilson Logan aka Scavenger. The pair have been playing together since 2014 with each one bringing their own particular sound to the project. Known best for their long running radio show Dub Explorations, the pair play some of the best in underground Dub Techno, electro, downbeat and ambient sounds.  When it comes to their DJ sets you can expect them to be diving between their records, CDJ’s and Ableton, with the goal of creating an immersive deep sound, with rolling baselines and sprinklings of sci-fi ambience. Playing back to back they push each other with every record they play, with the next selection often being picked on the fly, to create some truly unique sets. Inspired by the pioneers of the past, their sound is heavily influenced by German Dub Techno, Detroit Techno and UK Bass.

Comments on the mix from Quadrant Soundscape:

"For this mix we wanted to showcase some of our more dance floor focused records, we don’t get to play these sort of sounds as much as we’d like so we saw this as the perfect opportunity to pull some great records off the shelves. There’s a mix of classic Dub Techno and Detroit records, as well as some newer bits that we’ve been loving. We feel this mix is a solid representation of what you can expect to hear from us in a club. Shout out to Seb for the opportunity. Hope you enjoy."

1. Coeter One - 70 [Hypnotic Room]
2. Exos - Áttfalt [Thule Records]

Ziyn aka Charlie Stoker is a Birmingham-based DJ and producer pushing forward-thinking and diverse club / electronic sounds. He's previously frequented the booth of The Cellar (RIP) and Club PST, with appearances on Limbo Radio and Mantissa’s Mix Series.

Comments on the mix from Charlie:

"Have to big up this mix series; it’s a great platform to share some dance-floor sounds outside of a club setting. My contribution rides over three styles, with a few curveballs throughout: the first section is a showcase of some faster, hi-tech cuts, stopping decisively to allow room for some dingier, heads-down business, before ultimately transitioning into a raw UK techno roll out. Be sure to check the tracklist and support the labels / artists if you rate the sound."

So, have you heard of the techno DJ and producer Surgeon? If you haven’t, well, now you have! 

The third show of my residency on Melodic Distraction is a continuous DJ mix of some of my favourite music Surgeon aka Anthony Child has produced. I’ve included music from the British Murder Boys project, his notorious collaboration with Regis. 

Surgeon has been at the forefront of the UK’s techno scene for the past 25 years. He co-founded the infamous House Of God party in Birmingham and is credited with defining the tough, “industrial” - a term contested by Child -  Birmingham Techno sound. He had a residency at the Berlin nightclub Tresor in the 90’s where he brought key techno artists over there from the UK for the first time. He’s released on a wide range of seminal labels such as Downwards, Blueprint, Soma, Token, Semantica and most recently Ilian Tape. He has a vast remix CV spanning a wide range of well-known artists; Thom Yorke, Moderat, Dave Clarke, Luke Slater, Green Velvet and Shed to name but a few. He runs two of his own labels - Dynamic Tension and Counterbalance - which he uses primarily to release his own work. He was one of the first to use Ableton Live and Final Scratch, blurring the line between DJ sets and live sets. He even produced music for the Playstation game Midnight Club: Street Racing.

I first came across Surgeon when reading an interview with Objekt where Objekt cited Surgeon as one of his biggest influences. As a long-time Objekt fan that was enough for me to know that Surgeon was an artist I really ought to delve into. Recording this mix really was a lot of fun and only exhibits the tip of the very deep iceberg that is Surgeon’s musical output. 

The image is of me holding my favourite Surgeon record, his album 'Body Request' which was released in the year 2000 on his own imprint Dynamic Tension.

Bugs Groove: 100% Surgeon on Melodic Distraction [16/10/2020]

Bio:

"I’ve been a lover of electronic music for many years (I have a few behind me!). My influences include Detroit techno, Chicago house, UK techno, hardcore,  breakbeats, ambient and all sorts of music that usually involve synths. I run a label which is primarily digital with the occasional vinyl release called Forte Techno with my friend Steven McDonagh. I also put some of my own music out on Bandcamp all under my name Ross Alexander. I enjoy working with various machines and software tools mostly making techno but dabble in other areas too and enjoy doing live sets."

Comments on the mix from Ross:

"I do like a mix from time to time so was nice to record something here! I love making music and going out and I enjoy listening to other people play and playing myself and I look forward to doing it again sometime! This is a mix of new and old bits I’ve enjoyed lately with a range of some of the sounds that influence my own productions in the studio, enjoy!"

High Hoops 055 - Bugs Groove

HØLEIGH has been contributing to Manchester’s darker side of dance music for several years. Holly really began to surface in late 2019 when she shifted towards techno, electro and trance. Prior to this she'd been collecting a broad range of UK dance styles including hardcore, hard house, and niche 4:4 music. Musical elements from these genres are echoed in her track selection, not least her predilection for fast tempos often in excess of 140bpm. Accelerating from start to finish and constantly shifting through the gears, HØLEIGH’s intuition when performing resonates with dancefloors, all of which stems from her dynamic and idiosyncratic way of mixing and innovative use of DJ equipment.

Comments on the mix from Holly: 

"Toning it down slightly for this mix as I usually play hard techno I decided this was a good opportunity to play the more groovy, melodic and rhythmic side of my collection of techno."
