Podcasts + Mixes

UK inspired electronic music has changed significantly over the past twenty years, mutating between elements of bass, house music, techno and back again. The sounds are often intertwined and linked by creative dj's and producers who aren't keen to be pigeonholed or bound by the limitations of genre or style. 

Tom VR is a perfect example of one such artist, an emerging producer who has risen to prominence with an array of eclectic, thoughtful releases on the likes of All My Thoughts, Lionoil Industries and his own imprint Valby Rotary which he runs alongside Louf. His most accomplished work perhaps has come on a new EP for Midland's record label, Intergraded. A pensive, bass inspired affair which also features beautiful ambient textures and delicate, precise sound design built to immerse dancers in the clubs. 

Tom's own musical tastes are rooted in the more pensive undertones of electronic music, there is a tonal undercurrent which runs throughout his work and sound. That's not to call it 'deep' but it is.

Tom VR: The Ransom Note Mix

Three hours of garage, dubstep, grime, hardcore, jungle and techno recorded on a Sunday evening at 121 in Wellington for the Friendly Potential crew. At their request I tried to play with the energy of the old Sunday night sessions at FWD>>, and it was so fun. Old and new music side by side. Spinbacks at 2008 levels. 

Big thanks to everyone involved in this incredible trip to New Zealand and Australia, especially the Friendly Potential crew who made the whole thing possible. It was wonderful to play music again, and I hope to be back soon.

“This mix is a combination of tracks by friends (and myself), songs I have seen go down well in the club and songs around me in life that I love.” - Hagop Tchaparian

"This mix is a love letter to the emotion-driven, vulnerable, and melancholy side of my sound -- one I have not tapped into for quite some time-- in the form of weightless jungle and ambient. Through the process of creating this mix, I wished to reconnect with myself as an artist at this moment without the influence of a dance-floor, tuning into the self-reflective spirit of the winter."

The Bay Area dance music scene formed Eugenia's roots as a DJ, where she cut her teeth playing underground clubs and organizing DIY raves. Her energetic mixing style can be defined as bright, tender, and highly dynamic, jumping across many genres of dance music wrapped in a lush atmosphere -- always with her signature touch of sass. While Eugenia grew up between the Bay Area and northern Italy, she is currently based in Boston where she plays with local queer collective Enter the Boudoir. Fresh from her sets at HOR Berlin, Fast at Work in Los Angeles, Boiler Room in Boston, and Sound Gymnastics in Brooklyn, she continues to blossom further and curate her own sound. 

Outside of performing, Eugenia is a practicing poet and host of a genre-non conforming, ambient-inspired mix series called "The Shape of Memory," as a part of experimental label Ghunghru, where she asks each artist to express a memory through the arc of a mix. The spirit of this series is to re-imagine memory as a breathing, living being, one that influences our feelings and sense of self.

Here is my mix for the Feel My Bicep mixtape series.The mix was recorded in my home bedroom studio in Haggerston, drafted on my technics 1210’s and CDJ’s and then put together in Traktor and Logic Pro for a few tweaks. I have some effects chains I use in Logic for my productions which I love and wanted to utilise in the mix to give an essence of my production throughout, including Vahalia (the best!) plugins and Phat FX filters.

Up next for Tapes #99 is moktar, a DJ and producer effortlessly combining club and techno with traditional Arabic instrumentation, sampling and production. A hybrid style, moktar’s music is new to the clubs of Australia and is itching to make its way across dancefloors.

moktar’s heritage has always been at the forefront of his identity. Navigating racism and abuse was an everyday reality growing up in the Shire, especially in the years surrounding the Cronulla riots. Regardless, Moktar’s Middle-Eastern background found its way to become a source of pride: and with that pride comes the inspiration to share the sounds of his culture through his own music.

Although he plans to split his years between London and Melbourne in the future, for now moktar is resigned to Australian shores to share his signature sound. Signed to Mall Grab’s label Steel City Dance Discs, moktars double EP output is expansive and explores techno and IDM through the lens of Arabic percussion and instrumentation.

Origins Tapes 099 - moktar

"It's through collaboration that I've grown most with my sound." In this collaboration with Rhythm Section, the multi-instrumentalist talks about how he found his style and started his career.

Jordan Rakei is a self-made musician. A multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer whose work dips into soul, hip-hop and electronic music, he moved to London from New Zealand, giving himself a four-month "buffer budget" to get his career off the ground. Now, he's released on Ninja Tune and Rhythm Section International, and has collaborated with a number of Grammy- and Oscar-award-nominated artists.

But his journey wasn't easy, as he explains in this masterclass moderated by Roy Mills and Rhythm Section's Bradley Zero. Rakei talks about how to build a career as an independent artist, why he transitioned from working alone to working with a big agency, signing deals with labels, and living close to the edge in an expensive city. It's the first in a three-part series called Future Proof hosted by Rhythm Section International, all of which explore facets of creating and sustaining a career as a musician.

This episode was recorded live in May, and you can watch video shorts from the talk on YouTube. Listen to their conversation in full.

Favorite Quote: “In the future, there will be almost no filter left between conscience and reality, almost no commentary. We will become that space that leaves traces of light and joy whenever crossed by anything.” (Daniel Odier)

Advice for the DJs, artists and producers of our community: Pay close attention to the world around you, and do not lose your sense of wonder at any cost. Try to catch yourself if & when you censor yourself, because you may be blocking something powerful and genuine within -- your voice may take on unexpected forms. Stay close to people who inspire you, keep you curious, and help you shine, and for whom you can do the same. Don’t be afraid to reach out and learn from others you admire. Advocate for yourself -- and never let boys (or anyone) reach over and try to fix your mixes while you’re playing.
