IT.podcast.s10.e07: Clark Price at Samhain XX

Each year, we ask a few artists from the Dekmantel Selectors line-up to deliver a mix in anticipation of the new edition. Who could be a better fit than DJ Python to re-initiate this tradition?

Even before Dulce Compañia, which introduced the Python alias to the world, Brian Piñeyro has been providing a wide array of unique sounds to those who care to listen. To be fair, he makes it hard not to care, and also to describe his ambling, dembow-inspired rhythms as something other than ‘deep reggaeton’. But if Piñeyro has taught us one thing, it is that music is just moods flowing into one another. Sometimes, the mood is a percussive therapy session, and sometimes it warps drone-driven electronica, tingly synths, and steely dancehall.

It is unsurprising that this mix is all about the mood too. A 60-minute journey across genuinely emotive songs and honeyed hymns. In his words, it’s just about “enjoying the time with people around you, whatever shape the people or the time may take”. When listening to this mix, keep in mind DJ Python’s approach to making soup: you can only really do it well if you allow yourself to move beyond the recipe. The only thing left to do is let go and get locked in.

This instalment of our annual Selectors Podcasts series comes from Mika Oki, who is probably best described as a sensory artist. Heavily influenced by a background in sculpture and electro-acoustic music, her work frequently revolves around weaving together sound and vision – simultaneously creating and exploring intangible spaces, be it in installations, performance pieces, music, or mixes. And when it comes to the latter, Mika Oki has proven, time and time again, that an amalgamation of grime, reggaeton and dancehall might just be an essential component of a well-crafted, esoteric soundscape.

What you’ll hear in this industrial and organic mix partly derives from Mika Oki’s friends, producers and residents at LYL radio, as it happens that she recently opened the third, Brussels-based branch of the Belgian webradio together with a collection of dedicated musicians. Combined with sounds reminiscent of “broken machinery” and a “glitched, collapsing world”, we are left with a celestial selection that converges across the realm of sonic experimentation and - somewhat otherworldly - club rhythms. One thing is for certain: this mix will leave you wondering what you were doing before you started tuning in, once it’s over.

Each year, we ask a few artists from our Dekmantel Selectors line-up to deliver a mix in anticipation of the new edition. First up in this year’s series is Garage Noord resident and LYL radio show host @merelrhizoom. As a proper connoisseur of modular synth tracks and avant-garde compositions, merel rhizoom tends to navigate the musical stratosphere between what one could refer to as “weird psybient”, hypnotic jungle, trance downtempo or industrial breaks with implausible ease in her selections.

The mix at hand makes a good case for doing what feels right: merel rhizoom told us that she “initially was very tempted to make a more dance-oriented mix”, but then decided to go into a different direction: “focussing on (modular) synthesis of veterans such as Max Loderbauer, Robert Aiki Low, Andreas Tilliander and Driftmachine, while on the other hand including more avant-garde compositions by Jon Hassell, Oren Ambarchi, Upperground Orchestra and others”. What already sounds good on paper, has turned out to be a mesmerizing and thoroughly mind-altering listening session – enjoy it with your eyes closed and mind open.

Well well well... Another year has passed by! 

So happy to end it up with a mix from this upcoming big artist from nyc. Mexican born, @AmeliaHolt is a resident at @publicrecordsnyc and a host at @movement-radio-athens. 

This mix was recorded in the legendary Good Room last month, and definitely takes you on a trip to other dimensions. House, breaks, IDM and beautiful baselines that surf trancy synths. Could imagine how sweaty that dancefloor should have been, so much rythm man...

"This mix is created to break away from anger and sadness, dancing forward towards a new season," Nèna explains. "A higher pace than my usual mix, characterizes this podcast. It is created to trigger emotions." Moving your body and processing all kinds of feelings is facilitated by this sincere Dekmantel Selectors 2022 artist.

First up in this year’s series of Selectors Podcasts one of the rising frontrunners of experimental club sounds, Silvia Kastel. Born in Southern Italy, now based in London after spending time in New York and Berlin, her experience in electronic music sprung from her studies in sound engineering and the electronic experiments she did. Starting to DJ shortly after, first as a radio DJ and later also in clubs, her go-anywhere mindset has steadily built her reputation for bringing singular club sounds to adventurous dancefloors.

  This Selectors Podcast for us is a reflection of those capabilities in the club. Apart from some radio shows, she says, this is her first mix that’s in its entirety club-oriented. That doesn’t mean there’s no room for experimentation, though. In the contrary: the mix offers layers of different genres, tempos and time signatures, while melting together polyrhythms and overdubbing synths on the fly. 

“I’m interested in creating an equally trippy and fun experience”, she explains, and included a selection by artists like 33EMYBW, MC Yallah & Debmaster, Lechuga Zafiro and Siete Catorce, who “perfectly nail that balance of dark and colourful synths and unpredictable hypnotic grooves”. The result is a mix that does exactly that — an hour of high-energy twists and turns from one of Europe’s most exciting selectors.

Bayu is based in Melbourne, Australia and has co-compiled two releases for A Colourful Storm: I Won’t Have To Think About You, and most recently, Still In My Arms. I haven’t caught up with him for months but still dream of doing more projects together.

“I have been doing the same things as usual when I’m at home – just a lot more of it and trying to be better at it. Music stuff, keeping in touch with family and friends, cooking, reading. The daily routine has definitely changed, though – it feels like I have one now, compared to the time before quarantine.“

QnA:

Where, geographically, did you grow up? Was it a single place, or many places?
I grew up in southern Michigan, about 10 minutes from the Indiana border. I spent my entire childhood there, and moved to Chicago when I was in my early 20s.

Can you pick one song in the mix and explain where you first listened to it?
I remember the Fauzia & Kelela track very clearly when it dropped on a Bandcamp Friday this summer - so imaginative, expressive, and beautifully produced. It really struck me and was something I turned to again and again. I feel like one could find a lot of that energy in music this year, and I’m grateful to have heard it. 

Who "introduced" you to these songs? Was it a person, a radio station, a CD?
This music spans some 10 years of listening, being shared with, stumbling upon, and so forth. I think the moment I realized the music I play as a DJ—or share with others in a public way—could be informed by any source, it made the act of finding music a much more open-end process, full of possibility. Some of this music is random algorithm recommendations, some of it was shared by friends, and some if it I’ve had in my iTunes since high school. 

Where and when did you first hear techno? Who did it sound like it was for?
My first encounters with dance music were associated with something very distant from the place I existed. My first dance music encounters were about traveling to a place where I could be more myself. So I suppose, in that way, it sounded like it was for a freer, more expressive, and less bound and defined place.

You've got the microphone. What do you want to say to the music community?
I think that in my time in dance music thus far, I have been afforded a lot of space to say my peace, and I say that with deep gratitude. In this time, I want to continue to de-center myself and let the vanguard speak and shape their world into existence. I’m here to help serve that in whatever ways I can. 

Thank you for having me. My heart goes to all who’re struggling in this moment, especially those cast aside by the system here in amerikkka. 

I miss you all very much <3 gianpaolo

We've paired Savile's mix with the essential Teching Hsieh, a performance artist whose primary medium is time; or, rather, the demarcation of time. Both artists play quite literally with time, whether it is punching in at a gallery on-the-hour, every hour, or filling a moment in time with sound. We've wanted to pair these two in conversation for a while now, with a portrait of Savile by Moods Alum Anne Lacy. 2020 ends strong with this.

Savile also elected to move their $40 commission to Bed Stuy Stong, a mutual aid network of over 4,000 people from across Bed-Stuy who are supporting our community during the COVID-19 crisis: https://bedstuystrong.com/
