MEZZANINE : III 𝘋-𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦

Killian and D-Grade mixed live on FBi Radio 06.10.24

Full episode + tracklist: https://www.fbi.radio/programs/m5/episodes/m5-6th-october-2024

D-Grade is a DJ and organiser based on Gadigal land, in Sydney Australia. They present ‘serious’ music with cheek, quirk and unpredictability and love to playfully toy at the margins between ‘mind’ and ‘body’ music. D-Grade enjoys frenetic, bossy and beautiful sounds. They’re partial to a good baseline, gritty drums, a gloomy vocal or gaudy guitar riffs. They sometimes appear as Wings of D’sire with good-friend-and-close-collaborator Wingnut, with whom they also put on intermittent, often-elusive boof functions.

“eyes closed and channel open
an insight into what’s inside
something magikal, something immaterial
finding form through figments of
imagining, making, moving
through subconscious conjuring
we gently tend to what can’t be known
and yet is always felt within”

— excerpts from my dear friend Imbar Amira Nassi’s text-message musings on ’dreamgarden’

Mexican producer @sietecatorce treads the line of experimental club masterfully, drawing influence from Latin American styles and futuristic techno abstractions. Catorce has released on imprints such as Nostro Hood System, Naafi and Hypermedium as well as launching his own label Subreal in 2019 with collaborator Amazondotcom, on which they have released two EP’s traversing deconstructed club. His new EP ‘Temperatura’ is a masterful exploration into club hybridity.

For the A-side, opener ‘Todo’ is straight-up otherworldly techno, combining fluctuating mutant birdsong and dub tones that center around unrelenting polyrhythms, whilst ‘Derretido’ flourishes industrial clangs with deviant frequencies. The B-side spirals on full-blown psychedelia into an unpredictable space between experimental tech and bass. ‘Menos’s extraterrestrial synth-work and blurred edges sound like a stripped-down early dub hybrid. ‘Tu’ featuring collaborator Biuddha employs smoky field recordings atop a shuffling post-dubstep heartbeat and euphoric snares. Combining fractured sound design with indisputable rhythm, this release is a formidable and unique addition to the experimental club bracket.

Makinist(https://soundcloud.com/user-153161389) is a french electronic musician, artist and PhD student. His doctoral thesis is focused on the uncanny in late capitalism. As a result, glitch, hauntology and uncertainty are recurring feelings in his sound. Alienation and transcendence seems to play a decisive part in this aesthetic. He is working with animation, installation, performances and with underground record labels like https://soundcloud.com/prehenseur(?), EZ, and https://soundcloud.com/ultravirusss. 

"What was a crucial sonic experience in your life?"
I was and I am still mesmerized by the particular silence of abandoned places. The city roar seems distant behind walls, letting space for other sounds. Nature, animals, wind, little flickering of sharp glass, or footseps have a new meaning in these places. It can be scary to hear someone coming in this context but this person could be a friend. It is places where capitalism  seems to rest, and new things can rise, like a new sonic ecosystem.

MNEMOSYNE #013 - MAKINIST

Based in the city that never sleeps (and with his music you would never want to), Tony G has been quietly making waves in the NY underground. Co-founding Sorry Records alongside Nick Boyd, Tony’s cited as one of the few young producers in the city to be doing new things with classic house. And his latest contribution to Sorry Records continues to prove just that - his first solo release since 2019’s mission statement T.O.N.Y. EP. 

A label for housing pop dance records, the ‘Pianoman’ EP covers all ground from piano house, breakbeat joy, Florida Breaks to nineties Italo House cheese. It’s full of flavour! Completely and utterly morish, you just can't get enough. 

The nod to pop music comes through the sampling with Dua Lipa, Mark Ronson + Diplo’s ‘Electricity’ and Billy Joel ‘Piano Man’ in the titular track whilst the flip ‘Good Will Hunting’, well, samples Good Will Hunting. There’s also a mammoth four remixes thrown into the works from two of the most exciting producers in the American dance music underground - Philadelphia ballroom luminary DJ Delish (Sweat Equity, PUMPDABEAT) and Oakland rave queen Bored Lord (Club Chai, Knightwerk). 

Here we have DJ Delish’s ‘Sunday School Mix’ of ‘Pianoman’ who takes us to church with huge baptist preacher vocals and claps of a congregation at worship. It’s a big ol’ slice of house heaven.

I feel this is inevitable.....!
