Anyone, heard this before, what's the edit? Who is it?

Techno has always been about futurism, but in Russell E.L. Butler's (@russellelbutler) hands it becomes a vehicle for a more inclusive, communal and positive now. The Oakland based producer pairs their stripped back and powerful rhythms with uplifting sound design to make for music that is both defiant yet welcoming to all. They have done so on Left Hand Path, Mister Saturday Night Records and Spectral Sound since 2015, with 2018's 'The Home I'd Build For Me And All My Friends' album being a particularly standout work that showcased Butler's mastery of their machines.

In the studio, Butler is most at home manipulating modular machines and making propulsive techno, but as a DJ they expire wider sonic terrain. That's demonstrated on this week's mix, which begins with dystopian atmospheres and heavy rhythms that eventually break out into jerking EBM, bleak cold wave and mechanical house sounds. It's a brilliantly taught and tense selection with a careful smattering of human vocals that keeps it rooted in an approachable realism.

Ron Morelli's exclusive mix for Rainbow Disco Club 2022 podcast:

"This mix is pure energy straight from the guts, nothing pretty, nothing refined, just a DJ doing what a DJ is supposed to do...rip the cut!!!!! Let the music take control..as the song says...this is it!!!... Do you control the music or does the music control you? Unreleased straight from cassette cuts, rare Windy City artifacts, unreleased new material, classic old material, L.I.E.S. from the archives, forget the pleasuredome back to the terrordome!!!! -RM 2022"

"このミックスは、自分の感覚に任せた純粋なエナジーで、きれいごとや洗練されたものは何もなく、ただDJがやるべきことをやっているだけだ...カマしていくぜ!!!!! Let the music take control…と歌詞にあるように...これだ!!!...と。あなたが音楽をコントロールするのか、それとも音楽があなたをコントロールするのか？カセットテープにしか収録されていない未発表曲、シカゴからレアな楽曲、発売前の新譜、クラシックス、L.I.E.S.のアーカイブからのトラックなどなど。アンダーグラウンドからお届けするぜ!!!! -RM 2022"

RDC 041 - Ron Morelli

We’re launching this season’s podcast series with a slow burn set from Detroit veterans Scott Zacharias & Bill Spencer from our June 25th party, where they played directly before BMG who was playing before Titonton. This set is perfect for heady winter exploration, and this podcast also functions as a teaser for Erika’s album release party Tomorrow’s Fires happening Feb 25, where they will both play solo slow motion sets in the Gallery.

Unreleased version (sans announcements) of "The Great Gigolo Swindle" recorded live at WCBN-FM Ann Arbor in 2000.

Gigolo Mix (Unreleased EFX mix)

I discovered Adam through his EP on @analogueattic, which has become one of my longstanding favourite local releases.  I've been a big fan of his creations ever since.

I love the way he always manages to find the perfect balance between ambient and dance, with many of his tracks featuring acoustic instruments. Every new track he sends me is even more charming, innovative and unique than the last.

Thanks for this beautiful mix Adam! @citizenmaze
