Tracklist

The Cover Mix: HAAi

There's a track on HAAi's upcoming debut album, Baby, We're Ascending, called "Louder Always Better." That kind of sums up her approach right there. (See also: "Biggest Mood Ever.") Since her first record, 2017's "Be Good" her approach to dance music has been to make as dense, overwhelming and uplifting as possible. Much has been made of her background in psychedelic rock, which definitely informs records like the muggy, intense Motorik Voodoo Bush Doof Musik, but it's not the whole story. A better point of reference might be DJ Harvey lost in the Australian desert, but comparisons are beside the point. At this point, HAAi is completely unique.

The Australian producer has made quite a name for herself as a DJ in her adopted hometown of London, and while her album shoots off in all directions—from ecstatic rave-pop to sultry stunners—her RA Podcast captures the spark that makes her such a beloved force behind the decks. Weaving powerful techno from artists like Atrip and Piska Power with weirder, adventurous music courtesy of Cocktail Party Effect and Sha Sha Kimbo—plus a few tastes of HAAi's new album—it's an eclectic mix that's as windy and unpredictable as her records. Plus, it ends with classic track by The Cure. That's just good taste.

BBC Radio 1  Essential mix

Welsh artist Kelly Lee Owens has a special grasp on techno. She can make it sound wild and naturalistic, like wind blowing through a dense forest, or make it feel cold and sleek, like a gleaming slab of chrome. Either way, though, it's always full of emotion, thanks to the intricate textures and distinctive tones of her voice. You might even say she takes a singer-songwriter approach to techno, but that doesn't mean her music isn't suited for the dance floor.

Her most recent album, <a href=/reviews/34853 target="_blank"><i>LP.8</i></a>, marks a step away from the dance floor, however, and into a place a little more dark, more unpredictable. It's also some of her most gorgeous work, centering around "Anadlu," an eight-minute cut that feels perfectly pitched between ambient and techno, with heavy, lumbering drums but an otherwise lightweight, almost wispy feel.
 Owens' RA Podcast occupies this zone almost perfectly. Beginning with 11th century music from Hildegard von Bingen, it ties all sorts of traditions together, from Pan Sonic to Throbbing Gristle to Marco Shuttle to Oneohtrix Point Never & Rosalía. It floats, it accelerates, it loops and doubles back in on itself, an hour of gripping electronics from one of techno's most distinctive voices.

An era-spanning mix from @kellyleeowens.

"I went for a mixture of the new and the old and where those places meet. Newer tracks I’m loving and some classics from the likes of Underground Resistance - paying homage to where we’ve been, and where we are now as a dance community."

The Mix 034: Kelly Lee Owens

Hello my dear friends,
The new edition of Club Room is a special one, today, I’m sharing the first hour of my set from Dockville Festival in Hamburg.
This was honestly one of the best festival experiences I’ve had in a long time. The energy, the crowd, the atmosphere, everything just came together. Will follow up next week with part 2!

I’m so happy I can bring a little piece of that moment to you.

Club Room 382 with Anja Schneider live @TheLotRadio NY

Excerpt from the second movement of Alleys Of Your Mind, my composition for live ensemble and electronica. The piece has the same title as one of the first techno tracks ever, written by Cybotron (Juan Atkins and Richard Davis) in 1981. This title is quite apt for my piece and its themes, but it's also a tribute to Atkins and to Detroit techno (a major indirect influence on my work).
