Now this mix right here is from an extra special guest, one who descended into madness just to curate this debauchery of a selection. A dear friend who truly and deeply understands our love for music.

For those of you who may know, Johan N. Lecander is the Creative Director of DI.FM. And if so, you would definitely know how monumental Digitally Imported has been in it's online electronic music presence over the years, giving many of us our regular routine listening across many channels and from multiple artists who frequently air on those.

It is Johan, who first approved our Chapters, that too at a monthly prime time slot. Every First Friday of the Month from 5.30 - 7pm GMT. That itself, was a landmark for us. Getting our own monthly residency on DI.FM - a station which has inspired us and introduced us to so much talent for more than a decade!

It is also Johan who motivated us to start with the Curates series, earlier than we initially ended to, when lockdown first started last year. Though others greatly dissuaded us to postpone it due to the saturation of online streaming, it wouldn’t have happened without Johan pushing us, and in turn the series. 
And you've all seen the diversity of amazing artists that have curated for us till date. It only made sense that we have him curate for us just before our year mark for this segment.

Furthermore, when pitching our commendable new series in December. An outlet to allow emerging talent to showcase their storytelling, it was Johan that said, "7 monthly radio shows, we've never had that ever before on DI, but hey man, if anyone can handle it and handle it well .. it's you" and thus began our weekly affair with Chronicles Commends.

It's just been slightly over the year mark and we now have 7 monthly radio shows, over 3 series and are extremely privileged to showcase anything and everything that musically touches us, without any creative or genre limitations.

Johan, thank you for all you've done for our Chronicles - the consistent support and encouragement that you selflessly extend. Not just for us, but for many others, as you have been for quite a few years.

So without further ado, it's the man behind the curtain and this time he's going hard! Just as we like it! Ladies and Gentlemen, radio royalty in the mix, the main Curator - my friend - Johan N. Lecander

Chronicles Curates : Johan N. Lecander

Hi! My name is Johan and this is where I post my various mixes. I've been DJ-ing since 1997 and am Senior Curation Director at DI.FM (www.di.fm). I've been doing these mixes since early 2000 and they feature whatever the heck I'm into atm but usually it's some sort of current Techno, Acid Techno, Progressive House, Hard Trance OR retrospectives about various labels and artists from the 90s.

The Supervisor - DJ & Hacker
Barcelona

Nacido en Tarragona en el 87, la música fue siempre una parte muy importante de su vida. Educado desde muy pequeño en el conservatorio en solfeo, harmonía y piano clásico comienza con la guitarra eleéctrica a los 15 años. Con ella debuta en un grupo de ska y punk con el que realiza diversos conciertos y descubre su amor por actuar y la música en directo.

Paralelamente, casi al mismo tiempo, descubre la escena rave local, y con ella la música electrónica, y más concretamente el dnb, el psy-trance y el hardtek, lo cual cambia su vida definitivamente. Desde ese momento se declara amante de gran variedad de géneros, desde el techno más clásico, pasando por el trance,  hasta la mákina y progresive, pero siempre con una clara preferencia por el sonido underground.

No es hasta el 2022 cuando decide definitivamente obtener equipo de DJ y ponerse manos a la obra y empezar a crear sesiones tal y como él las entiende; donde caben gran variedad de géneros de electrónica, pero siempre con un tema principal: el baile. 

Ha pinchado en Freedonia, Kaeldelkord, Motors, Wolf's Vault, NNNA, varios eventos underground... y espera haceros bailar en muchos más próximamente.

____________________________

Born in Tarragona in 1987, music has always been a very important part of his life. Educated from a very young age at the conservatory in music theory, harmony, and classical piano, he began picking up the electric guitar at the age of 15. With it, he made his debut in a ska and punk band with whom he performed various concerts and discovered his love for performing and live music.

At the same time, almost simultaneously, he discovered the local rave scene, and with it electronic music, specifically D&B, psy-trance and Hardtek, which changed his life forever. From that moment on, he declared himself a lover of a wide variety of genres, from classic techno, through trance, to makina and progressive, but always with a clear preference for underground sounds.

It wasn't until 2022 that he finally decided to get DJ equipment and get down to business, starting to create sessions as he saw them. A venue for a wide variety of electronic music genres, but always with one main theme: dance.

He's played at Freedonia, Kaeldelkord, Motors, Wolf's Vault, NNNA, and various underground events... and hopes to get you dancing at many more in the near future.
