Pontiac Streator Hot Mix 6/15/21

Interview & tracklist: https://www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/27-ben-bondy

Next up on the Theory Therapy series is DJ-producer Ben Bondy who has put together an extremely chilled mix of indie favourites and “late night stoner vibes.”

It's pretty exciting to have Ben contribute to the series. The NY producer is in the upper echelons of the electronic music scene in the US. He's released albums on some of the best labels around—West Mineral Ltd, Experiences Ltd and Lillerne Tapes to name a few—and he's collaborated with the likes of Pontiac Streator, Ulla and more eaze.

Importantly though, he's also just a huge music fan with a keen interest in various scenes, including Australia's (you may remember he cropped up on Best Effort’s Stay in Bed comp last year) epitomised by the many sounds and styles his releases deftly encompass and in the sets he puts together.

All of Ben's mixes are amazing—his epic three-hour HNYPOT one is a particular highlight—but this recording feels like an especially personal one. It was pieced together in Maine while “missing home” and contains several tracks from his formative years. It's an absolute gem of a mix, nostalgic but never too melancholic—perfect for drifting off to late at night.

"this is all original & unreleased, mostly from 2020 & 2021 but some from 2018 or so. what they have in common is that i felt at peace while making them and they still help me feel at peace listening back. this is why i make & share music - i hope it does the same thing for you."

For the next LUVCAST we've got quite a biggie in store! It's from none other than (Acid) House / Techno icon TIN MAN who is (as are we) based in our lovable city Vienna.

The California born Johannes Auvinen is not only a multi instrumentalist and analog freak but also quite a visionary when it comes to musical boundaries. His seven (!) albums were released between 2004 and 2014, encompassing a staggering amount of styles ranging from raw acid house to ambient chamber pop. Being an admirer of 80s synthpop, TIN MAN would even sing on many of his tracks - which is a good indicator of just how inconvenient it is to simply call him a techno producer. 2014 also marked the year when his skills as a selector were aquired by Resident Advisor for their prolific mix series.

Needless to say we're stoked to having him on board of the LUVCAST train! Here's what he had to say about the mix: "100% unplanned all vinyl mix (for the pervs)"

This is the recording of my set at Terraforma.
it's been a truly great experience for me and therefore i decided to share it on here.
It's difficult to feel the energy out of a recording because techno is one ingredient that combined with the moment, the crowd and the place creates the magic...But i hope it will help you to get at least a taste of what it'd been like.

Pearson Sound b2b Pangaea b2b Ben UFO recorded live at Freerotation 2015.

Freerotation is a festival we've played for the last seven years. It's the only festival we've played so regularly, and it's an incredibly special place to all three of us.
 
This is the first time we've shared a recording of a set the three of us have played in a club or festival setting, and it feels right that it is a recording from there. This year we played the penultimate set on the final night in the second room, before Objekt closed it out (which you can hear here - https://soundcloud.com/keinobjekt/freerotation-2015-closing-set). Unfortunately the final 15 minutes were lost, but this is almost the entirety of our three hour set.
 
Huge thanks to Steevio, Suzybee, everyone involved in the running of Freerotation, all the attendees and to Alex Downey for the recording!

Juanita's Mix 018 with ADAB @ADAB

Q. How would you describe yourself? (DJ, producer, artist, etc.)
A. I think ADAB is definitely more of an intention to be conjured then a singular moniker for a person. It’s an instance of exploring self/collective through an array of sounds from or influenced by cultures of color and the worlds they influence at large (which are quiet a few). It's also intended to be a direct expression of afrofuturism. A humble attempt to make sets and mixes made for emboldening and envisioning future instances of pan african and POC beauty in dance music.


Q. Any memorable club nights in NY? 
A. My latest memorable club night in NYC is also the last one I was able to spin live before everything shut down. I played Public Records alongside my dear friend CCL and it was a much needed gig/trip. We played a lot of drummy stuff we both love throughout the night and eventually ended on a Jungle/DnB note which was a dream to do with them. The crowd was super into it, outwardly showed love the entire time, and danced their asses off the whole time. It was a blast!


Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I decided to finally explore a lot of my 90-100 bpm percussive stuff that I’ve accumulated over time for this one. Up until now almost all my mixes have been above or around 130 bpm so it was nice to slow it down and mess around with this section of my collection. Definitely intended to be a psychedelic hip churner! There's also a few dear homies like CCL, Flora FM, Ali Berger, & Russell E. L. Butler in here as well so big shouts to them for some of these lovely tracks <3 Enjoy!

Juanita's Mix 017 with Galcher Lustwerk @galcher-lustwerk

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Music producer and DJ, I like it simple like that.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. The first party I threw with friends and played in NY was I think in 2011 at this bar in Manhattan called Stay. It had a hidden basement.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I wanted something that overall felt gentle and daytimey and I wanted to throw in a couple of curve balls along the way ;-)

RAVE SCOUT #042: FARHAN (UNTITLED, BE)

Born on the outskirts of Toronto, Farhan found his way into the rave scene at 19. He quickly developed a niche as a raver. DJ and co-founder of the 'Untitled' DIY event series, his inspiration is derived from shared moments on the dance floor—this can be heard in his sets, as he enjoys taking dancers on a journey through the various genres of electronic music. His involvement with Untitled allowed him to create spaces for like-minded dancers, the LGBTQ+ community, and allies. Now living in Berlin, Farhan continues his career as a DJ and is currently working with the Quest Agency as a booking agent. in cookie series #042 Farhan takes us on a fantasy journey through ambient, dub, breaks, IDM, tribal sounds & much more.
