Quite a different sounding show/mix for this month's Black+Light. 

This show/mix probably has a lot more black, than light, dark, very dark, and brutal at times. Featuring more Electro, EBM and Industrial type sounds than my previous shows/mixes and performances. Where usually I would balance with light and melodic, here I kept things dark.

In part, this show/mix is influenced and inspired by my friend Lauren, DJ Loveless @loveless-sounds and her excellent taste in music, recent mixes and performances here in Sydney.

Starting the show with some amazing, lush, evolving, epic, atmospheric, moody and darkly melodic, Electro productions from an alias of C-System. I don't usually like to play the same producer's tracks all in a row, but they all flowed together so perfectly here, with a fantastic Umwelt remix.

Awesome to see The Mover back. Memories of nights out raving, dancing to his dark techno tracks: Waves Of Life and Nightflight (Nonstop To Kaos) in the early 90's. 

I was also excited and inspired by excellent brand new music from Codex Empire, Lars Huismann, Headless Horseman, and I Hate Models, producers I love to support and play.

All the other producers in this show/mix are new to Black+Light: Cassegrain, The Mover, Irregular Synth, Star-Kid, DJ Hell, Marcel Dettmann, Echaskech and Parallx. Most happy to have finally found a great fit for Phase Fatale, and Alexey Volkov too, with their latest productions.

I'm extremely pleased with how well Echaskech's -  Emperor's New Clones, and the fantastic 80's style remix Marcel Dettmann did of DJ Hell's - I Want U, both progressed and layered together in this mix, a happy accident, magic combination.

Finishing with the awesomely epic, Cyanure Dance from I Hate Models. Fantastic production work, love the contrasting elements, harsh and melodic. You get the full 9 minutes here, the Fnoob Techno Radio broadcast version of this show/mix had to lose the last 3 minutes to fit the hour.

I noticed I used the word happy quite a bit here. Seems the wrong word for such dark music, but I've always had this thing where, I'm most happy when the music isn't. 

Enjoy!

Boro Stojanovski, aka Analogue Resistance hails from the small yet booming city of Veles, Macedonia. A town brimming with industrial complexes and where weather contrasts are stark - from the coldest, darkest Winters to the hottest, longest Summers. Literally growing up next to a factory, awoken each day by the bustle of vehicles transporting steel workers and amidst the bang & clatter of cutting saws & slamming hammers against metal surfaces 'AR' heard music - right there and then the seed which now blooms in his production work was planted. Dark, raw, hypnotic and Industrial bouquets continue to blossom through his work today as a direct reverberation of yesteryear, harking back to the earliest metallic percussive influences he experienced in his formative years as a cheeky little kid being chased out of his favoured playgrounds and first music studios, abandoned factories.

At the age of 7 he had his initial experience with a musical instrument after coming home from school to discover a keyboard in the dining room. After immediately sitting down and playing until bed time, totally mesmerised by the sounds it was producing his dad tells him that he can keep it and attend elementary music classes after school, which he does with glee. Continuing on from that age 'til where he begins forming bands at 12 years old. Drawing influences from his brother and the likes of: Iggy Pop, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Exploited, The Clash and so on. The next logical step was to learn studio production techniques in order to maintain total control over the whole production process from start to finish. At 15 he first cracked DAW and begins to experiment with basic hip-hop flavours with other young musical enthusiasts. The year following he joins 'Adrenaline' who record and press a couple of LP's. But after being in a group dynamic for so long 'AR' yearns to venture onto producing some works on the solo tip.

Even though already well versed and familiar with the sounds of such artists as Kraftwerk, FSOL, Orbital and such, Analogue Resistance experiences his first real techno party at a PMG Kolektiv event and was instantly hooked after traversing down the beloved deep and hypnotic rabbit hole. He then turns his dab hand to the electronic side of production and lands his first release is under the alias New Culture Terrorist (NCT) in 2008 on Juan Kitchen Delights, which is one of his releases he holds nearest and dearest to his heart as this was what spurred him on to keep going on the electronic tip. After this the creative flood gates opened and the numbers started streaming out under many different monikers, such as: NCT, HAR1, HEPC (high energy particles collider), and RS3057.

In 2014 Analogue Resistance is born and is here to stay as this is the working title which suits Boro's modus operandi the most fittingly. With 6 releases currently on labels such as : Juan Kitchen Delights (JKD), Vox Pop Arts (VPA), Hubble Trax and Arithmetic Loop, he is excitedly looking towards the future and all opportunities to write and produce much more material for everyone's collective aural enjoyment.

Sydney solo act GIVERNY creates a unique sound drawing on New Wave, Grunge and Dance.

The creative sounds of GIVERNY are the inspiration of producer Phillip Spiteri, who is also the act’s sole singer, songwriter and instrumentalist.

Dominated by a dark futuristic 80s influence, the GIVERNY portfolio features ambient futuristic pads, badly programmed drums and ugly guitars soaked in reverb.

In 2016, GIVERNY released their first EP, ‘Liabilities’ – comprising three songs written in a bedroom, mixed by renowned audio engineer Antonia Gauci and mastered at Studios 301 in Sydney.

In 2017 GIVERNY continues to write and collaborate with late 90s hardware-based producer DAMC, performing as techno DJ, David McCann.

In mid 2017 GIVERNY debuted their live show supporting Oliver Tanks and BATTS and will continue to play more shows around Australia throughout 2017.

Passionate about a variety of underground techno music sounds: Deep, dark, atmospheric, brutal, heavy, twisted, minimal, broken, hard, light, beautiful, melodic, hypnotic - all depending on mood.

Loving the industrial, EBM, broken beats, heavy and dark atmospheres in modern techno music right now, still a fan of the rave. Not a fan of the new "hard techno" fast techno, tik-tok techno fad.

In love with techno since the first beginning.
Live techno constantly & passionately: energized, powerfull DJ mixes or weird & wicked ones!   SoundCloud always.
"My heart is really in dance music after all." Speedy J.
Devoted intensity, for me…that’s the essence.

Melbourne Techno producer.
Machine Label.

No bullshit, I'm here to make and spread new music.
