Techno has always been about futurism, but in Russell E.L. Butler's (@russellelbutler) hands it becomes a vehicle for a more inclusive, communal and positive now. The Oakland based producer pairs their stripped back and powerful rhythms with uplifting sound design to make for music that is both defiant yet welcoming to all. They have done so on Left Hand Path, Mister Saturday Night Records and Spectral Sound since 2015, with 2018's 'The Home I'd Build For Me And All My Friends' album being a particularly standout work that showcased Butler's mastery of their machines.

In the studio, Butler is most at home manipulating modular machines and making propulsive techno, but as a DJ they expire wider sonic terrain. That's demonstrated on this week's mix, which begins with dystopian atmospheres and heavy rhythms that eventually break out into jerking EBM, bleak cold wave and mechanical house sounds. It's a brilliantly taught and tense selection with a careful smattering of human vocals that keeps it rooted in an approachable realism.

Dekmantel Podcast 324 - Russell E.L. Butler

Wonja (@wonj) is an elite level record collector. The Oakland-based DJ and producer has been putting together mixes for many years that are filled with music that is hard to describe, let alone to find. From teary-eyed Italo disco to her series of Wood Glass Metal mixes via world music and more club ready sounds, she is a Jedi-level digger who also occasionally produces solo, or with partner Dan as Motoko & Myers. Her main priority, though, is to devour and share as much music as possible.

This week's podcast is a two hour trip to the outer edges of Wonja's collection that her partner describes as "hard sci-fi party tracks." It is a wide open and spacious selection where alien details, solar pulses and cosmic motifs all drift by as scattered percussion only hints at the most skeletal rhythms. Nothing about the tracks is at all familiar, and all genre terms are redundant. Even when more propulsive grooves do arrive, the sound sources are wonderfully weird and abstract, yet the desire to dance is as primal and compelling as ever. Few mixes are as full of WTF?! moments as this one.

No one can deny that @conducta is surfing on the crest of garage's new wave. The Bristol-born artist is a dexterous DJ who jumps from style to style, leaving uplifting grooves in his wake. As a producer, he is just as nimble, and his Kiwi Records label and regular mixes have also helped to define a fresh new take on the classic sound. Always bright, sun kissed and never afraid to take on a big tune or recognisable sample, nothing is off-limits for this classy, party-starting DJ.

Part of the reason Conducta is so effective is the quickness and precision of his mixes - there is no time to linger when he is in the booth. Instead, you're hurried along from one bumping groove or darkened bassline to the next, and of course, that is the case in this week's mix. Elements of grime, dubstep, 2-step and the odd cheeky bootleg all colour his tightly woven and sun-baked grooves. The result is a mix as fun as it is fresh, and one that effortlessly highlights the fantastic breadth and depth of the current scene.

It is a wonder it has taken us this long to get Tom Trago involved in our series. The Dutchman has been a pillar of the Amsterdam scene for years, either as a producer for Rush Hour and a veteran of no fewer than three artist albums, or as a resident at places like the sorely missed Trouw. He also runs his own Voyage Direct label, has worked with everyone form Aardvark to Bok Bok and, of course, played our festival once again this past weekend. Trago’s sound--in both the booth and the studio--is a colourfully eclectic mix of disco and afro, hip hop and jazz, as well as house, techno and electro, and it as charming as the man himself. 

His two hour session for us is a perfectly soothing selection to get you back into the groove after a full on weekend at the festival. From horizontal ambient and deeply seductive house, the mix stays pretty spaced out and lazy for the first hour, before more driving drums and pumping chords colour the second half. Always warm, human and inviting, it is a suitably personable mix from one of house music’s nice guys.

Founded in 1989 as a small record shop in London, Mr Bongo expanded into a record label, publisher and DJ collective currently comprised of David Buttle, Graham Luckhurst, Gareth Stephens and Gary Johnson. Closing the shop in the early 2000’s due to declining record sales and major changes in the industry, they were able to switch their main focus to releasing records as well as occasionally presenting classic arthouse films from all over the world. 

Digging up lost and hard to find gems from around the globe is their ethos and it has not changed since their opening day three decades ago. Mr Bongo’s main area of concentration started with Latin music and then a particular emphasis on Brazil. Since then, they’ve expanded to a wider range of genres such as reggae, soul, funk & jazz. Their widely successful 45s series (which includes Brazil, Africa and Latin) is a testament to their hard work in finding and re-releasing old records to a modern audience. We recently got the opportunity to chat with David and Graham from the collective and ask them a few questions. Ahead of their 30th (yes you read that right.. 30th!) anniversary, they've also put together this fantastic 2hr mix full of Brazilian gems cooked by Gareth Stephens and Gary Johnson.

Mòo & Jo are two long-time friends, producers with DJ partnership incorporating traditional African instruments with a deep and melodic house aesthetic.

Since their debut single « Simba » released on Pablo Fierro’s label Vida Records, MÒO & JO has then joined the Mobilee Records family with « Makasi » EP following a long list of respected artists.

It's with their latest production « Lora » featuring Lass's voice and Benjy's percussion, that MÒO & JO takes a new course and signs « Lora » on one of the most respected Afro-house labels: MoBlack Records. They quickly receive full support from Black Coffee followed by Pete Tong and Bedouin among others and are gradually played on the biggest international scenes.
