Out of space

Steve Reich: Octet - Music for a Large Ensemble - Violin Phase

Octet

@mamasnake is at the heart of Copenhagen's blistering techno scene. She plays with a serious amount of speed and showcased that as far back as 2018 when she played for Boiler Room at our Amsterdam festival. But she is also a qualified surgeon, co-founder of Amniote Editions and curator who oversees the release of music, posters, videos and t-shirts. She prefers to keep a low profile and operate in darkened spaces at the dead of night, but with her at the controls, there is no finer place to be. 

Mama Snake's supple and sublime sound is a mix of sleek techno and uplifting trance. She plays with a tight and technical mixing style and can make you fall in love with tracks you didn't even know you liked. On this week's mix, she charges through kinetic beats and slithering synths that never let up, but never get stuck in a rut. There is always a breakdown to reset the mood, a dreamy lead to take your mind away or a vocal latch on to. They say that speed kills, but when it comes to Mama Snake, speed thrills.

Amplify Series 068 - Unhuman

Todd Nickolas and Dominic Paterson were born and raised in rural South-Western Ontario Canada, an unlikely setting for the kind of leftfield music they grew up with and eventually produced. They had the good fortune of having older relatives into alternative underground music, so much of the late 70s and early 80s were spent plundering record collections and making mixtapes. Todd and Dominic met in high school, geeking out over each other’s Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode shirts. In 1987 they started making music together, which wasn’t easy to categorize as their personal styles and musical tastes were constantly evolving. From synthpop and EBM/industrial, to electro and early hip hop and house music, to post-punk and dub and all points between, whatever the duo encountered was embraced enthusiastically. The transition into the techno and ambient years of the 90s was therefore a natural one, their early influences always finding their way into their productions one way or another in addition to the new sounds they were creating. The rave era was a revelation for them, because there they found their people and scene. The anything-is-possible optimism that went along with it coincided with a general twentysomething feeling of youthful euphoria about a world full of possibilities. Infinities of Life was originally released in 1994 as part of the 12” Universality EP (Floorshaker Productions). This percussive techno-trance track perfectly captures the xtc euforia that swept across warehouse dancefloors back then.
