Interview
-このミックスはどちらで収録しましたか？

2014年1月24日に東京で開催された「Frue party」のオープニングセットをライブレコーディングしたんだ。


-ミックスにあたって使用した機材を教えて下さい。

セッティングはすごくシンプルで、TraktorとFaderfoxのコントローラーを使ってる。最近新しいサウンドカードを買ったんだけど、このレコーディングにはFocusrite Sapphire 6soundcardを使った。Wata Igarashiがレコーディングの時に親切にpodcastに適したマスタリングをしてくれたんだよ。


-このミックスのコンセプトを教えて下さい。

このパーティーは夕方、東京都現代美術館にある"Content"っていうカフェで開催されたんだ。普通のクラブイベントじゃなくて、アーティストもサウンド自体もすごく実験的だった。僕の次にはSvrecaとAgi Yuzuruが控えていたから、イベント全体だけじゃなくその2人の世界観にもマッチするようなセットを作ったつもりだよ。オープニングDJが自分の役割を全く理解しないで自己中心的なプレイをしているのをみるとすごく嫌な気分になる。どのイベントでも自分の役割を理解することが重要だと思うんだ。だから自分がオープニングアクトを担当する時は自分のプレイを押し付けないように、次のアーティストが気持ちよくプレイできるように心がけてる。今回は力強く、且つバランスのとれた音楽を目指したんだ。「パワー アンビエント」とでもいうのかな、音楽に力や重力があるんだけど、抵抗できないほどの力ではないんだ。オーディエンスを程よく圧倒させたかったんだよ。

-最近の活動を教えて下さい。

休暇のあとブログ「MNML SSGS」を終了して、昨年から「Interstice(ssg)」っていう新しいブログを始めたんだ。規模は大分小さくなったけど、2014年はこのブログで興味深いエレクトロニックミュージックを発信することに時間を費やしたいと思ってる。
DJとしては、2014年3月1日にMonolake、Burnt Friedman、Guenter Schickert、DJ Nobuが出演する「After25 party」
のメインフロアーでオープニングアクトを務めるんだ。このパーティーはベルリンの壁が崩壊してから25年間、東京とベルリンが築き上げた絆を祝って開催されるんだけど、こんなパーティーに出演できてとても嬉しいよ。この夜のために衝撃を持ち合わせた、スペシャルセットを用意しているんだ。本当に楽しみにしているよ。

Irakli Kiziria is a much lauded cultural force in his chosen home Berlin. For over a decade, the Georgian transplant has been crafting a space somewhere between belligerent rhythm and ambient dreamscape with a growing number of influential projects to his name. His 10am-10pm STAUB parties offering legendary daytime gathering soundtracked by an incognito list of techno’s finest, and earlier collaboration in the form of I/Y also setting forth a voice and imprint to publish the work of consonant peers. More recently, his home-listening outlet Intergalactic Research Institute For Sound has funeled his energies towards a “dreamy, more abstract, 'intergalactic' music”. And it’s from this realm that this next Zenaari instalment emerges: a tripped-out reverie that walks his more delicate line. Zenaari Mix 016 weaves together gently waltzing piano interludes with the chiming of bells, lullaby warps with the analogue crackle of a vintage speaker and the confident strumming of a lute. Irakli given free-hand to explore his space in heavens and this is the result, an intimate augur for a promising future and 80-minute (all vinyl) podcast hued with the longing and strange.

Zenaari Mix 016 - Irakli

DJ Sodeyama’s been around since the 90s, a Tokyo-based whizz and DJ’s DJ, whose career has offered the type of sound many selectors would envy. It’s incredibly sharp, meandering along its intelligent thread in unexpected and high-minded ways. Since the early noughties he could add producer to his soubriquet too, flexing his minimal muscle with early releases, a steady stream of ensuing ventures further cementing his craft via Korean-based deep techno distributor Artscope, Dynamic Reflection, illegal alien, Daybreak and many more. He’s also explored adjacent genres and ventured into the world of house under his parallel alias The People In Fog. Pretty full plate, but the quality of his sound has suffered nothing for it. His techno is an expert tapestry of interlaced details and lingering moods, injected with raw feeling and undeniable skill. It darts from peak to peak, fusing frequencies riddled with forward-pitched elements and vivid effects, and forges a long-range feeling that abuts the realm of both man and machine. Thick and volatile techno that serves as proof that the genre can keep expanding outwards in fresh and surprising ways. Bassiani Podcast 260 moves the needle further, it's quintessential Sodeyama: vivid climbs and steep descents, warped vocal samples, brave and unbending beats for prime-time raving.

REC 36 w/ Konduku

Let's head back to Fuse on January 4th for two hours of technical, percussive and ambient soul. Intertwining minimalist techno, UK-influenced bass, and polyrhythmic grooves, he kept the listener focused in dreamscapes as he reflected his influences from labels like Nous’klaer, Spazio Disponibile, and his distinct attention to unconventional time signatures or drum work. This said, Konduku at Fuse offers an accurate snapshot of the universe defining him. Have a listen right here.
