Techno

Black+Light is my monthly 1 hour Internet radio show, broadcast on Fnoob Techno Radio. I'm passionate about a variety of techno music sounds: deep, dark, hard, atmospheric, broken, melodic, big, epic, ravey, acidic and more. I like to keep my mixes interesting, striving towards a new track in the mix every couple of minutes. A strong focus on new and recent releases. I hope you enjoy these monthly musical journeys, into the black and into the light.

I'm back! This new Black+Light 008 show/mix, is a post party recording, of the DJ set I played at Sydney underground club The Bunk3r, for the Rivet / Big Ting Recordings crew, on a Thursday night last month. Playing between Matt Lush and Monako B2B N-Va. 

https://www.facebook.com/events/164481164102202/

The Bunk3r is my favourite club space in Sydney right now. An actual underground club, comfortably cool and dark, minimal red lighting, friendly staff, great vibes, and most importantly a fantastic sounding Funktion One sound system. It was a pleasure to play through it.

I wasn't sure what to expect crowd/vibe wise, being a Thursday night, but it ended up being a whole lot of fun. A decent size crowd of young, up for it, energetic and vocally appreciative, music focused crew, guys and girls ripping it up on the dance floor, many thanks!

I wanted this DJ set to be fun, energetic, quickly flowing, keeping the interest high, with drops and changes, and more on the accessible side of underground techno sounds. Not getting too hard or dark, but keeping a good pace and bottom heavy pressure. I think variety is important too, so there are a range of sounds here, some atmospheric, deeper and melodic moments, and a few rough edges.

Apologies for going M.I.A for the last couple of months, had some issues, all is well now. My previous Black+Light 007 show/mix has been getting some re-plays.

This is a post party recording of the same DJ set I played at the .darkroom Presents UVB party, at the Portugal Madeira Club (Sydney) on the 28th October 2017. 

Facebook event:  https://www.facebook.com/events/2000518880179276/

I played after UVB, closing the party. I wanted to keep the intensity high, and lay down some harder and darker techno sounds here. I had a fantastic time playing this set to a very receptive dance floor.

Speaking of parties... I'm playing on NYE here in Sydney, would love to see you there:

Happy New Year!! Hope you all survived Xmas, the silly season, holidays intact. Welcome to 2018, here's my first Black+Light show for Fnoob Techno Radio, of the year,

This show/mix is a 1 hour section from my DJ set on New Years Eve, playing 12am-2am, at .darkroom Luscious Fuxxx NYE, held at The Bunk3r Sydney (which is sadly no more).

Recorded yesterday, this section was about 45 mins into my 2 hour DJ set on NYE. Going on a 15 minute journey into some tribal, broken beats, heavy dark electro, and half speed jungle vibes. before returning to the techno, and ramping up the intensity. Big heavy beats, big synths and basslines, having a rave! I hope you enjoy!

Guy J - March "Till We Meet Again" mix

Hello! Has it really been 3 months since my last new Black+Light show? Apologies, motivation issues, and time keeps passing me by. There have been show/mix attempts during that time, but nothing I was genuinely happy with enough to share, until now. 

This show/mix, is a DJ set I put together to play at the Trench Techno Doof last w/end. Unfortunately I didn't get to play due to the event running way off schedule right from the start, but I stayed for a while and soaked up the vibes (literally).

The party (doof) is held 2-3 hours south of Sydney, outdoors, deep in the Australian bush, in the Southern Highlands. I really enjoyed playing at the Trench Techno Doof last year.

I like the idea of reflecting the environment you're playing in with your music selections, so you'll hear tracks with some electronic emulations of insects and animal noises, sounds from the creepy darkness, unknown things happening in the background, perhaps visitors from other planets.  No ambient, new age music here though, it's techno music!

Compared to previous shows/mixes/sets, this journey is much deeper, spacey, atmospheric, and hypnotic, building in intensity, with some weird, creepy, melodic, and tribal moments, I hope you enjoy the ride.

Monthly Internet radio show: 'Black+Light' on Fnoob Nov 2016 > May 2018,

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.
