As co-founder of the MNML SSGS blog, Chris SSG was at the heart of dance music's most pressing discussions and cutting edge sounds from 2007 - 2012. Though originally from Melbourne, he has been based between Osaka and Tokyo for some time. It is in that city that he has hosted a number of events while also playing his own ambient, techno and experimental sets further afield around Japan as well as at European clubs like Nachtdigital, Sustain-Release and Berghain.  

He says of this week's mix, "Half-jokingly I describe my style as ‘big room ambient’. Well, for two years, I did not play in any rooms, big or small. Then, finally I did, again, and this was what happened. This is the recording of an extended extended ambient and deep space session at a chill out party in Tokyo. I tried to play in a way that really captures my approach to playing ambient, moving between different energies and making contrasts, while featuring many of my favourite artists. This was a special experience for me, and I am very grateful to be able to share it with you." And he does just that over the course of four absorbing and compelling hours. Myriad different worlds are explored from textured and tense to blissed out and beautiful, but the whole mix is held together with a narrative arc that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Martyn is the finest example of an artist who exists outside traditional genre boundaries. Ever since the mid-90s, the Dutchman has operated in his own adjacent worlds while drawing on UK bass hybrids, techno and electro to cook up singular rhythms and unique moods. The 3024 label head has always used his platform to bring through new talent, and now also mentors young artists with his own Patreon program. This sits next to his ever spell-binding performances in the club and eye-opening monthly Darkest Light show on NTS, which is a deep dive into his love of jazz. 

This week's mix is a 70-plus minute snapshot of Martyn's sound, which is as timeless as ever. From the crispness of Detroit electro to the off-beat thump of bass via his deep techno lit up with glistening electronics, it is a perfect blend of body and head and one full of brazen moves. There's a switch to jazz-laced broken beat and low, then the slow wobble of dubstep before a rebuild towards old school jungle that proves this is the sound of a true master at work.

Up next in the mix: Archive Queen, There Is No Planet Earth serves up a gorgeous blend of New York House for the ages ~

"This mix is inspired by storied NYC House institutions: Body & Soul, Shelter, 718 Sessions & Junior Vasquez at Sound Factory. It touches on a variety of house sounds from Detroit, NY soulful gospel vocals, a Junior vs Danny remix section with a little bit of Disco. This mix is really a snapshot of what I typically play out in clubs in NYC."

GABRIELA MIX #3 ~ THERE IS NO PLANET EARTH

Fear of Music (http://fearofmusic.org) was in many ways a precursor to Standards & Practices @stanprac — we threw sporadic events and shared mixes online, made by likeminded midwest techno fans during the 'dark years' (the aughts, when minimal ruined everything). This was the first release in our mix series and, as of today, it's exactly 15 years old. To us, it still sounds ahead of its time.

From @karlpmeier — 'It's hard to believe this mix is 15 years old. Pretty soon it'll be asking for the keys to the car and the ability to stay out past 10pm. Funny story - one night Jeff and I were at Smart Bar (I think; "the mind plays tricks" as Alan Partridge famously said) and Jeff had been telling me about this artist named 2562 who had released his first LP, "Aerial", the year prior. Jeff had been listening to it non-stop and told me that I absolutely had to investigate. Well, long story short - we were approached by friends that night to open for him at Lava Lounge. We could hardly believe it - it was such a odd coincidence. Now, at the time, I knew very little about "dubstep", ultimately - that was more Jeff's area of expertise. But I was intrigued, and it was a fairly exciting time for electronic music, as there was a lot of genre "cross pollination" going on. All the cheap rave revivalism hadn't started to happen just yet, and there was seemingly a lot of room to explore combining techno and other genres with this new form of music. Jeff and I had expressed some interest in what we could do DJing with Ableton, and this inaugural outing is fairly representative of what we were listening to at the time - and also reflects other influences that we thought might fit in and work well. Really, we were just drunk on the possibilities of what we could do - and ultimately I thought it all worked out quite well. The night ended up being probably one of the most successful gigs I'd been a part of in ages. The crowd was up for it, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Anyway, that's enough nostalgia - hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening.'

The Bunker Podcast 124 - Chris SSG

There are a select few DJs who can go deep while spanning genres and eras - still keeping the flow and the floor intact. It's rare that David Siska  ( @david-siska ) doesn't play a set that is a tribute to his time deeply involved in Chicago's sweat-drenched loft parties and burgeoning techno club scene, and his devotion to the sounds of Detroit and its most diverse DJs. He co-hosts the Sonic Sunset radio show turned mixshow - continuing its long-standing tradition of taking in a wide swath of dance music and through a scarcely definable but undeniable common thread, making it mean something as a unified whole. He's a resident DJ with San Francisco's renowned As You Like It crew as well as the music community-centric Run The Length Of Your Wildness.
