Techno

lose my breath (alex chapman house edit)

Community Function welcomes Medha Achar, a Detroit-based DJ whose practice is deeply beat-driven and rooted in soulful sounds. She draws inspiration from Detroit and Chicago house, along with various global rhythms, allowing her environment and lived experiences to shape an ever-evolving and genre-fluid identity. 

“I wanted this mix to evoke the light-hearted playfulness of summertime in Detroit (as seen through its soulful vocals), while still weaving in harder instrumentals to groove to throughout.”

Catch Medha this Saturday 8/2 at Community Function Presents... on the Pocket Change Rooftop

Soma proudly present the first in an exciting series of releases to celebrate 25 years at the top of electronic music as we turn to some of our favourite modern artists to reinvent some of the best from the back catalogue and up first is Envoy’s timeless classic, Dark Manoeuvres. Originally released as part of the “Coalition EP’ in 1996 (which also featured the classic Seawall), Hope Grant’s instantly recognisable hit is still found in nearly every Techno DJs record box and has continually served as a beacon of Soma since it’s release Four new versions are served up here as Dax J, Norman Nodge, Obscure Shape & SHDW plus Tensal all deliver fine interpretations of this Soma classic.

Dax’s furious style is the opener as he uses the original chords as they were intended but all the time firing his concussive drum patterns directly to the dance floor. Ostgut Ton’s Norman Nodge turns in a delectable dub version in only the way he can by keeping Envoy’s original muted and delivering a subtle, introverted version. The duo of Obscure Shape & SHDW are next up and delivery one epic take on Dark Manoeuvres. The pair build the tension early, teasing the strings then unleashing an onslaught, adding their own beautifully led, string section before hammering home. PoleGroup’s Tensal closes out our first Soma 25 releases, twisting and cutting the hook to suits his means as thunderous beats work away behind this solid tool.

With much more on the horizon, Soma has their gaze fixed firmly on the future of Techno

Eats Everything - Space Raiders (Charlotte de Witte Remix)

Handmade's DJing is perfectly tuned to the Globus wavelength. An integral part of the Tresor resident team since 2009, he developed his own blend of timeless dance styles on the rocky Berlin terrain.

However, this was not developed entirely in the German capital, on the Spree river, but also by another large body of water: Lake Michigan. Spending time in the birthplace of house music was enough to get lost in one of the richest dance music narratives of the planet, making his way through entire record collections. The combination of abundant sexiness and spiritual depth, etched into the vinyl of Trax, Dance Mania and Cajual, seemed to parallel a core basic human instinct about the experience of fun. In these records from the American midwest he found pure hedonism cast into black plastic. 

In terms of club experience however, the Berlin night scene remained second to none and with ravenous hunger he returned to his homeland. Ever since Handmade has channeled this drive into what has become his explosive trademark DJ style: deep and dubby-grounded à la Detroit, with the jacking stabs of Chicago influences and occasional deviations into tougher or more soulful soundscapes. This stylistic set-up allows him to adjust perfectly according to each night’s context, if necessary breaking it wide open: two indispensable qualities of a resident DJ.
