Enjoy a new episode of the DHAthens Exclusive Mix Series!

It's been a while since we last released a mix. So we return to your speakers with a special one! Here comes the upcoming super talented producer/DJ, Blue Dietrich, who recorded an exclusive mix especially for you. 

Press play and let him take you on a journey.

A few words from Blue Dietrich:

"This set is a reduced version of the one I've performed during Opal festival in France on the 6th of July 2022 where I was invited to do the Closing of the first night, playing from 6h30 to 8AM. It was such a pleasure to have this time slot, and the challenge to make the public travel with me after a whole night dancing, just after a psy-trance set that closed the scene next to mine! So here it is, an hypnotic dark mood in the beginning, going slowly into a melodic harmonious "latin" vibe, to let all the people finish the party and finally go to their tents have some sleep."

Tracklist:
1. 00:00 Misirlou (Pulp Fiction theme) [unreleased]
2. 08:31 (interlude)
3. 12:11 The ocean [Planet Ibiza]
4. 18:49 (interlude)
5. 23:09 Hypnotique [unreleased]

Best Edits of 2018 (Part 3: Peaktime Yacht-Disco Bangers) by DJ Supermarkt/Too Slow To Disco

San Diego‘s Secret Fun Club has been the longstanding musical outlet for drummer and engineer Sal Gallegos (Some Girls, Three One G) and bassist John Rieder. An ongoing collaboration that formerly included guitarist Nathan Joyner (Hot Nerds, Some Girls, All Leather), the band has been making odd, challenging, and relentlessly heavy music on its own terms since 2000.
A duo of bass and drums since 2007, Sal and John began writing, demoing, and performing brutal new arrangements for two solid years, finally recording what would become the Three One G LP Skull With Antlers during the first half of 2009. With drums that call to mind Bonham (if he had preferred meth to booze) playing sides of beef and bass tones that alternate between motorcycle rumble and insectoid modulation and filtering, the band has mastered doomy, frenetic noise with occasional forays into quiet minimalism and copy-and-paste sound sculpture. W.T. Nelson (Geronimo, Bastard Noise) has collaborated with his brood of Trogotronic outboard gear to contribute painful frequencies across the range of human hearing. The newest album enlists his assistance again, along with equally brutal noisemakers Justin Pearson (Dead Cross, The Locust, Retox, Planet B), Sam Lopez and Esteban Flores.

Secret Fun Club sees itself fundamentally as a live band: 700 tube watts pushing apocalyptic bass wave-forms through sixteen ten-inch speakers—paired with some of the loudest, most punishing drumming imaginable. The band’s sets are indulgences in volume and repetition, abrupt turns and uncomfortable silences.

Sculpture: Extra Curricular Object #1 [2017]
 
Secret Fun Club’s latest release, the wild-eyed brainchild of Sal Gallegos and John Rieder, once again show that these two have mastered the art of auditory experimentation.  Fluctuating between moments of scientific static worthy of alien airwaves on “Billy Joel Osteen,” to seemingly straightforward jazz punctuated by soothing vibraphone and just-slightly-off time signatures that feel like a calm descent into madness on “Ted Nugent Was Goth in High School," Secret Fun Club proves repeatedly that their creativity is vast and unrestricted by any one musical direction. Throbbing wails and air raid siren assaults accompanied by punishing, repetitive rhythms give way to supremely sinister howls and collaborative noise from the likes of W.T. Nelson, Justin Pearson, Sam Lopez, and Esteban Flores on the eleven and a half minute track, Black Metal to English Dictionary.”
Which brings us to the tracklist.
Never taking themselves too seriously, the duo has a penchant for titling their songs with pun-filled monikers like “Pat Minotaur”, “Scott Baiowülf” and “Pariah Carey”-- amusing juxtapositions of classic history/literature and tabloid-prone celebrities that would leave you rolling your eyes were the jokes to come from your dad, but smirking in the context of its use for doomy, sludgy, experimental metal such as this. And in a way, the meeting of highbrow and lowbrow in Secret Fun Club’s tracklisting seems like the perfect metaphor for the band’s music: impressively composed pieces highly calculated in musical structure, and yet simultaneously confrontational, gritty, and unrefined in tone.

LYRICS:
Dans les ruines enchantées
Désenchantiers
Démobilisé dans
Un chaos d’après-guerre
Les mensonges sont si neufs
Qu’ils peuvent nous faire
Danser sur nos galères,
Nos erreurs de transfert

Dans les stations vaincues

Te souviens-tu?

Les métros disparus
Ne repassent plus
Les virages défendus ne 
Négocient plus

Au lendemain passaient
Dans les rues pâmées de vapeur…

Un ballet de fontaines
T’éclaboussait
Jusques aux souterraines
Suite à les voir courir
Les danseurs, de la rame
Ultimes sourires
Puis, rideaux de métal
Le music-hall fugace
S’invite chez le souffleur
Te souviens-tu?

(Aux voyageurs
Des voies sans échangeurs
Les préposés
Aux stations condamnées)

Brilliantly combining the art of sound design with unforgettable songwriting, Montréal-based synth-pop duo Automelodi is back with their third full-length Mirages au futur verre-brisé out May 3, 2019. As an established and respected staple of the international community of underground hardware enthusiasts, Automelodi is led by the inspiring studio engineering and magnetic persona of singer/producer Xavier Paradis. Showcasing his master ability to design infectious rhythms, rich bass lines, and brooding hooks, Automelodi expertly crafts a listlessly romantic aesthetic embodied by Paradis’ dynamic voice and eloquent French lyrics. Automelodi’s focus on color and arrangement converges taste and technique, making Mirages au futur verre-brisé deeply engaging for both party-goers and analog synth connoisseurs alike.

Mix an interview for @stampthewax Diggers Directory:
http://www.stampthewax.com/2020/04/15/diggers-directory-mendel/

"There’s a raw sense of love and emotion that permeates everything that Amsterdam-based DJ Mendel does. Whether it’s on the dance floor, the airwaves or in the studio, he’s doing it all with heart.

Alongside an interview about his deep-rooted connection with records, for this vinyl-only mix Mendel explores a story of love and heartbreak through two hours of soulful and uplifting disco, boogie and house – the signature sounds he’s become synonymous with over the years."

Dando comienzo a la serie de mixes, tenemos a uno de nuestros djs favoritos, Breixo Martínez(Canela en Surco, Discos Paradiso).

Breixo es oriundo de tierras gallegas pero vive en Barcelona desde hace tiempo y aparte de ser un grandísimo coleccionista, es un gran amigo para nosotros. 

Tuvimos el gusto de conocerlo el año pasado, pero parecerían ser muchos más, y es que charlando nos dimos cuenta que hace 4 años hablamos unos minutos en Paradiso, pero en ese momento sin saber quién era el otro.

Para este mix, eligió grabar una hora de música gallega con algunos de los discos más raros y oscuros de su colección, pasando por diferentes géneros y siguiendo una linea perfecta.

Pájaros Pintados 001 - Breixo Martínez “Galician Mix”

Every month, Freedom of Groovement takes us somewhere new via his radio show and so we knew we’d have to let him visit with us this time, travel restrictions be dammed... Inspired by a recent figurative trip to Cuba, FoG head honcho Tem loosely explores jazz and improvisation from all four corners of the world through a selection of his favorite songs with instrumental solos. Expect big horns, fingers gliding over bass strings, wild percussion and flighty piano, no passport needed. As Tem always puts it, no borders on the dancefloor!

'𝐶𝑦𝑚𝑟𝑢 𝑖 𝐺𝑦𝑚𝑟𝑦' ~ '𝑊𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑠ℎ 𝑃𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒' by @kiernandj

While 'Cymru' means 'fellow countrymen', the Anglo-Saxon name 'Wales' actually means 'foreigner' or 'outsider' despite Cymry(Welsh People)being wholly native to the land. The mix is built on this premise, that through this special language the culture is eternalised despite the pressures of the dominant neighbours.

To start the Fragments in Wax story, Kiernan Abbott (F.I.W) has compiled just over 2 hours of varied cassette tape/demo releases from his home, Wales. The mix has been a long time coming, having spent the past year researching the scene along with the support of some of the artists and figureheads heard in this mix. 

This is the first of the F.I.W series, whereby artists of different backgrounds offer a journey through some of their music that might have personal prevalence to them and an opportunity to share a story through their selections.
