so happy I get to hear this.   Had my kid this weekend and couldn't go.  glad me and zak share a favorite dj

a brilliant set that night, pure magic. stoked to be able to reimmerse~ thank you xxxx

this is so beautiful (the whole mix). thank you!

This recording was selected for a guest spot on Dublab Radio, that aired on Saturday, January 29th, 2022 and was accompanied with a brief interview that was lead by Lottie, which is posted here below. 

What has been the biggest challenge and more positive outcome you’ve experienced through extended time at home?

Being alone with my record collection and contemplating how different I am feeling, and considering which slabs of vinyl that I want to spend more time with. Rekindling relationships with certain sonic objects that are saturated with memories and have the power to transport me to a different space.

Thank you for the recording this mix for dublab – I know its been a while since you put a mix into the ether – can you speak about your process?

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and wandered blindly into the void. This recording is a document of a moment in time, while smothered in an atmosphere that is as beautiful as it is ugly. The outcome is a true sonic image that is unmolested, unedited, and honest. An automatic drawing where one action responds to the next without any shadow of a doubt, and then preserved in its total form.

How did you approach the mix, did you have an idea in your mind of how it was going to go – or did you just trust your instinct?

Every time it is like traveling on autopilot with an empty mind that is prepared to accept the laws of chance while powered by an engine of chaos. I am a beacon rupturing from my life experiences. One light turns out, while another one flickers on. It is a very vehement ritual activity that depends on the action of call and response, while embracing the limitations that I set for myself by the tools that I choose to use. There is nothing but blind trust.

A lot of your art focuses on magic, ritual practice – but I would also say storytelling, a lot of the music in this mix, seems to spell some hidden meanings, can you go into any of those?

One of the strongest qualities of music, and all art in general is its subjective nature. Meanings can change continually through an endless scope of variables. The original intent of the artist can be transformed completely by the one that is digesting it. An important character of a successful work of art is its power to present open narratives shrouded in unlimited possibilities. And the closer and harder you look, the more questions will arise.

Wandering Blindfolded Within The Liminal Spaces Where Light Meets Dark

Raw recording of my Sunday morning set at The Great Beyond (July 2022 in Franklin, MN) ✨

The Great Beyond 2022

Berndt @ The Great Beyond '22

Erika has always explored the eerier corners of her native Detroit. She captures the empty space and late-night mood of the city in music that is deep and dark. For many years she has been a key behind-the-scenes figure who runs the well-regarded Interdimensional Transmissions label and has hosted plenty of her own parties. Her productions - either solo or with Brendan M. Gillen as Ectomorph - are rooted in techno and electro but explore everything from hard-edged grooves to spaced-out soundscapes. Erika also runs an educational platform for workshops, masterclasses and courses that help bring on the next generation. 

This week's mix draws on all that experience across 75 blistering minutes. It's electro from the off with haunting spaces, booming bass and elastic rhythms setting the scene for what becomes a storied selection. There are gritty and grimy warehouse sounds as well as slippery sci-fi workouts and plenty in between, all threaded together with the control of DJ who knows exactly where she wants to take you.

Patrick Russell (@mentalux) is a rare kind of connoisseur DJ. He is a true practitioner of the art of Midwestern mixing, and here we find him in full glory in Detroit at the No Way Back 10th Anniversary party, sometime around 6am. Melting minds one selection at a time.

Soundcloud: @tduvante

One of the Midwest's most innovative and enduring talents, Titonton Duvante's work has encompassed numerous roles over the years, forging a multifaceted career as a composer, vocalist, recording artist, producer, remixer, record label owner and DJ. His work spans longer than two decades, having cut his teeth in the early '90s alongside Ed Luna, Todd Sines, Charles Noel and Anthony Dandrea as part of their Ele_mental crew. As described by DJ Shiva in an interview with Red Bull, Ele_mental were a huge contributing factor in building a scene that connected to all the surrounding Midwest cities. Since Titonton founded his own label Residual Recordings in 1998, it's seen a renewed energy since 2016, with a string of new releases from the likes of Christopher Rau, Garrett David, John Tejada, and Duvante himself.

We caught up with Titonton to talk about his past with Ele_mental crew and the importance of documenting dance history, continuity in DJing, future album projects on the cards and seeing Jeff Mills for the first time at 'Journey through the Hardcore'. Featuring a handful of artists making their debut on Residual Recordings in the near future, Titonton describes his Truancy Volume as a close narrative of how he DJs—smooth, frenzied, followed by a cool-off to bring it back down again. With this mix, we present a true underground hero enjoying a well-deserved chance in sharing his wonderful style with more people than ever.
