CONSTRUCTIONS PODCAST

Constructions returns for the 60th instalment with an hour-long live sound performance from Japan's Muzan Editions label boss, Endurance.

"In the past few years, I have been lucky enough to open for a lot of techno parties in Japan, and this has had a big impact on my sound as a performer. My live sets used to lean more towards the prettier, new-age side of ambient, but as that doesn't particularly suit dark clubs in Osaka and Tokyo, I have tried to push my sound towards the more minimal and intense regions of ambient.

This is a set from a show I played in Osaka with Peter van Hoesen in November. I remember being terribly nervous while setting up my modular, as PvH was standing right behind me doing a soundcheck (I'm a big fan)! Nevertheless, I think the set went well, setting the tone for the party and the music to come. When I looked up towards the end, the dance floor was nearly full, and people were swaying back and forth with their eyes shut. As someone doing ambient, there's no clearer sign that you're doing something right than that."

Endurance is the ambient project of Osaka-based Joshua Stefane. Using modular synthesizers, field recordings, and cassette tapes, Endurance’s sound has become increasingly minimal and tonally-focused over the years, employing a minimum of elements to create a maximum of expressiveness. In addition to releasing from labels such as Constellation Tatsu and Mystery Circles, Endurance also curates the Japan-based tape label Muzan Editions.

He is part of the organizing team for Moment, a techno festival in Nara. As a live performer, he has appeared at numerous high-profile events such as Star Festival, Moment, and Rural, with an increasing emphasis on bringing deep ambient soundscapes to techno music parties.

“A deep dive into some records that haven't been played for a while - inspired by recently organising them into loose vibes. The majority of this mix came from the spectrum of hypnotic, chugging, or melodic techno sections of my collection.”

Coming through for Constructions 061, Sydney-based DJ and vinyl devotee Jasmine Peters plays a wide range of styles within the techno spectrum, finding a way to weave melodies with hard-hitting industrial sounds.

While heavy bass, twisted rhythms, and hypnotic grooves are the foundations she builds from, she also harbours a deep enthusiasm and finesse for all things weird and wonderful in the downbeat and ambient music realm.

Jasmine Peters | Constructions Podcast 061

Venturing into the world of electronic music in 2008, Reza Putra Ananda, AKA Ecilo is an artist who embodies the endless grind. 

Finding influence in the rhythms of jazz, soul, and blues, as well as the atmospheric resonances of Sci-Fi soundtracks, Ecilo has spent years refining his sound and honing his technique to become a producer who, while being strongly rooted in the foundations of techno, is exceptionally genre-fluid.

With releases on noteworthy labels such as AXIS, ARTS, Planet Rhythm, Olympian, and more, Ecilo has strengthened his reputation as a producer and DJ with his high-energy forays into all things percussion-locked, psychedelic, and unapologetically heavy.

Garnering support from artists such as Ben Sims, Alan Fitzpatrick, Haruka, DJ Nobu, Jeff Mills, Dave Clark, and many more, Ecilo’s consistency in providing expertly curated DJ and live sets have helped to reinvigorate the techno scene in Indonesia, landing him residences at Bali’s highly-regarded Vault Nightclub, and Jakarta’s Kiko Lounge.

Ecilo | Constructions Podcast 062

“This mix is inspired by the vibe at the last few gigs I've played. I've been going deep and trippy lately, and that's exactly what I tried to capture in this mix. Old, new & some unreleased music tied together with lots of layering to keep your mind and body locked in. Thank you for having me. I really enjoyed recording this mix for you guys.”

Heading up Constructions 063 we welcome Goa-based DJ & producer, dotdat.

With various offerings on imprints such as Symbolism, Truncate, Suara, and Observant, dotdat eschews convention with his own brand of spaced-out, cerebral, and percussive techno.

Though putting himself forth as a producer first and a DJ second, his mixing skills are adept. With performances at festivals and venues such as ADE (Amsterdam), Womb (Tokyo), Sonar (Barcelona), and Watergate (Berlin), his genre-bending sets traverse the lines between deep, hypnotic grooves and high-octane rollers.

Steadily building an expansive reach since he came onto the scene, his releases have made regular appearances in the sets of mainstays such as DVS1, Ben Sims, Truncate, DJ Stingray &
many more.

Dotdat’s dedication and persistence have led to international collaborations with Truncate and Benjamin Damage, with his EP with Truncate, ‘HYD,’ still making waves on the dance floor today.

@alienata
Alienata (Discos Atónicos / Killekill / Cultivated Electronics / Machine)
Spanish-born, Berlin-based Alienata is a self-described sound obsessive whose sets span obscure electro, ACID, dub, IDM, dark disco, jakbeat, hypnotic techno, industrial atmospheres, break beats, cosmic jazz , UK electro, Detroit, Chicago influences and crazy sounds in general. A former philosophy student with a particular interest in mysticism, Alienata began DJing in 2004. In conjunction with Valencia's Overflow Collective, she not only served as a resident DJ but also participated in theatre and music technology workshops and oversaw its label operations. Her earliest contact with Germany's music scene came through Leipzig's Homoelektrik collective, and upon moving to Berlin in 2011, she quickly found an adoptive family in the Killekill label and associated Krake Festival. This relationship helped make her a respected mainstay in clubs in Berlin, around Germany and Europe, but her international profile has been steadily increasing each year: NYC, Chicago, Sydney, Melbourne, Bogotá, Moscow. In recent times we have been able to experience its genuine style in booths like Fabric, Panorama Bar or ADE. When behind the decks, Alienata is closely attuned to both internal and external influences, and is unconcerned with providing listeners with an outstanding and energetic experience. It is not strange that legends like Dave Clarke (who recently played a B2B in ADE) DJ Stingray, Ben Sims or Ron Morelli have expressed all their support and respect for her.
With all that knowledge behind and a true love for music she decided to start her own imprint “Discos Atónicos” in 2017 where she can materialize all its varied influences, counting on legendary artists like Beta Evers, Dez Williams, Artificiero, BS-1 or Cosmic Force.

Tehran Night #374 Alienata

There’s many legendary dance floors in the world. Some we have managed to dance on ourselves. Our next guest Wes Baggaley has pretty much played on them all. From the legendary NYC Downlow at Glastonbury, to the Panorama Bar. More recently the mighty Bassiani and FOLD’s infamous Sunday party ‘Unfold’ and let’s not forget EVERYBODY’S favourite that is the Meat Free dance floor. 

Wes’ knowledge of dance music is one of the best in the game, bending through different genres such as house, techno, electro and breakbeat gear, whilst keeping the party people in a trip at all times.

We are pleased to give you a special techno infused mix from the man himself.

Wes Baggaley 051

“This is a heady bass mix with emotional bits at the start and percussive, wavy, heavily distorted dubstep towards the end. It takes a few twists and turns but has an overall air of melancholy and unease. I like the darkness; there is a lot to unpack - why do I feel these emotions when I hear these sounds? What inside me is reflected in this? 

There are elements of horror and suspense, it's cathartic to create soundscapes through mixing and song selection. I can externalise my inner world and deepest unknowns. I hope the music that I play can provoke curiosity and induce deep listening. I like a loftiness, patience, and sense of space that reminds me of the deep sea or the ever-expanding universe, and I hope that translates."

Constructions 064 welcomes Hong Kong born, Eora-based DJ, producer, and promoter, Jungist. 
Known for their "Generalist-specialist" approach to DJing, Jungist’s sonic palette is broad and deep, often finding themselves equally at home spinning chill-out dub in wine bars as laying down tear-out amens in distant industrial lots.

A champion of the rave, Jungist has played in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Hong Kong, and Taiwan and has shared lineups with international heavyweights such as Air Max 97’, Loefah, Goth-Trad, and RSD, to name a few. 

They hold a residency at FBi Radio with their show "Variable Depth Audit," which guides listeners through “bass-wise experiments for the city's comedown needs.”

As a co-founder and curator of Decay Audio, Jungist offers a platform for artists to take on a dark and experimental aesthetic with their events and mix series – boosting the local scene while also taking aim at bolstering international sounds.

With their debut release, “Dark Room,” featured on the Bass Water Freak Out compilation, Jungist has since released on Melbourne-based label Back Pocket Slammers and under the collaborative moniker 'Swungist' with Sydney-based artist Swisherman.

" This set reflects my different facets - from softness to intense grooves to dark textured techno - and all the emotions, ups and downs we go through from time to time! Like a journey of self-discovery made out of moments on the mountaintops of your very existence and others in more deep and obscure valleys of our soul. All filled with music from my favourite emerging producers who inspire me so much!"

RIOT Radio Show

Fear-E DJ set on RIOT - 3rd March 2023

An increasingly potent driving force in today’s techno environment, Georgia has through its key clubs Bassiani, Khidi and Mtkvarze, helped Tbilisi and its surroundings shape into of the most intriguing and reliable hotspots for emerging DJs and producers. One of its most talented heralds and a surefire groove rider at that, Yanamaste graces us with a choice two hours of the entrancingly deep and bumpy 4x4 epics he’s been laying down for INNSIGNN, Lyree and Khidi in recent times. Paced-up and animal to the core, his vision sweeps an extra wide range of shades and reliefs, nimbly moving the cursor from classic Berlin-inspired blends to full-fledged magmatic trance, via Birmingham-style projections and a solid dose of folk-infused harmonics. Raw yet technical, organic with a hint of hypermodern hoodoo to it, Yanamaste’s sound is the definition of hardware techno with soul, cut to ram-raid and elevate in equal measure.
