Deep Concentration: The Grey Area mix 




The Grey Area mix is a collection of celebral minimalism from which is a speciality of Robert Hood.   Never before has there been an illustration of the many values of "grey" within the genre we call Minimal.
While Minimal is now a sound all on its own which varies from region to region, deep concentration takes you through the mind of one of it's pioneers for a close analysis of this particular variation. The Grey Area.

- unofficial mix released on CDR hand signed and numbered exclusively via RubaDub in 2008. 

BOOMKAT REVIEW:
*Individually numbered and signed copies - Rob Hood at his absolute deepest. 300 copies only for the world!!!* Original minimal master Robert Hood follows up his essential Fabric set from earlier this year with an exclusive and insanely limited mix CD drawing for a specialized run of purified Detroit/Berlin deep and dubby techno. The Grey Area title refers to Rob's vision of Detroit techno and electronic music as the sound that occupied the forgotten zones of Detroit, the areas that became utilised for warehouse parties back in the day, and still humm and whirr with the timeless sound of technology long after the actual heavy indutry has gone. There's a soulfully longing thread tying the tracks together, from the opening anonymous tracks to Maurizio's 'M4.5' and on into previously unobserved depths with a slew of exclsuive and unreleased M-Plant style killers this is eactly the kind of selection that has won Mr. Hood a legion of devoted fans across the world, and has massively influenced the sound of the scene's biggest clubs, with Dettmann and Klock's brand of stripped but powerful techno house owing a massive debt to his sound. We're struggling to name many of the tracks here which is one of the best features of this mix, it's so fresh much of it hasn't even seen the light of day yet but we'd be massively grateful if any of the keener ears out there (or Hood himself) would like to send us a tracklist! Especially track 14, or 17, or 21, what the f**k are they?! If the Fabric mix left you asking for something that little bit deeper and nastier you can't sleep on this righteous mix. ESSENTIAL PURCAHSE!

Hypnotic Groove Mix #57 - Mejle

A sonic bomb from Raphael Kosmos, the mastermind behind Späti Records and a resident at the legendary Ankali Club. He's holding it down in the Prague underground, curating the raw yet refined vibes. This set draws from electro, the foundational pulse of Chicago, wave and squelchy acid. Expect nothing less than Filmmaker, Adult., Beau Wanzer, Das Ding, Steve Summers and the like.

At our recent showcase at Suicide Circus in Berlin we had the pleasure to meet Mejle, DJ and part of record label and music collective Mechatronica. There he set the scene for the night with a smooth and atmospheric warm-up. Continuing in the same vein, he presents an hour of shimmering electro for us here. 

Mechatronica is looking at a busy release schedule ahead, with upcoming music from Jensen Interceptor, Le Chocolate Noir, No Moon and Fleck ESC. If that wasn't enough, they will also host their next party at Griessmuehle on October 14th, where Mejle will play alongside DMX Krew and DeFeKT amongst others. Keep your eyes peeled!

After starting the mini Dekmantel Selectors podcast series two years ago, it feels like a tradition to bring it back to life. In the next couple of months, we will release 6 podcasts by some of the exciting artists from the line-up. This year’s podcasts challenges the artists to work around a theme or idea they picked theirselves. Next up: the talented duo from home grounds, Strange Boutique.

Strange Boutique a.k.a. Femke Dekker and Nicole Martens have two important things in common: their love for art and music. Whilst Dekker works as an art curator at De School, Martens is a visual artists and every now and then teaches design at the well-known institute Willem de Kooning over the past years. The kindred spirits they proved to be excellent curators: not only when it comes to art, but also behind the decks, playing everything in between ambient, experimental music and more crazy exciting stuff. That being said, inviting them over for their debut at Dekmantel Selectors sounded like the ultimate match.

In anticipation of that, the duo served up a mix full of tracks from outstanding artists like Beatrice Dillon, I:Cube, Green Vision, Cos/Mes and De Leon. Danclefloor gems meet experimental vibes. Strange Boutique: "Usually when we’re asked to create a mixtape, there's this one song that becomes the core of the mix and the way it's build up.  In this case it was 'Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest’ by The Fireman. Most of you will know that The Fireman is the moniker of English producer Youth aka Martin Glover of Killing Joke and the Orb fame and Paul McCartney. Both of us are huge McCartney fans and both his solo work, as well as The Wings and of course The Beatles has found a way into our various projects." Get to know the duo at its best.

Tempered by years of sweat in the US rave and club circuit, Paul Fleetwood (@fleet412) has steadily built a reputation as a DJ who explores the shuffling grooves of techno, electro, acid and beyond. 

He currently resides in Denver but is originally from Pittsburgh, where he is a co-founder and resident of world renowned weekly party Hot Mass (@hot-mass).

As a DJ he connects the dots between deep, propulsive techno, trippy experimental rhythms and intergalactic synth led electro jams. His approach to selecting and mixing has featured in online mixes for Buttons, Silent Season, Mysteries of the Deep, Doc Sleep's Jacktone Radio, and now The Bunker New York.

Fleetwood has played to audiences across the Midwest predominantly at DIY parties but also in clubs such as Chicago's Smartbar, Detroit's Tangent Gallery, Washington DC's Flash, and further afield at Berlin's Griessmuehle and ://about blank. Wherever he plays, he utilizes his lifelong musical curatorial ear and penchant for fanatical record digging to bring fervor to dancefloors across the world.

Scottish producer on labels such as Pomelo, Militant Science, Body Control, No Divide, Transient Force & Tudor Beats. Forward-thinking composition & production styles that make up his specific approach to Electro, on a level in many ways all of his own.

Since the turn of the century, Soundex Phonetic, also known by his own name Steven Patton and other aliases such as Espee, became a regular DJ and live artist mainly in Scotland with some rare appearances around the UK and Europe where he has been part of and promoter of the electro and techno scenes before having his own talents picked up supporting the likes of DJ Godfather, Rustie, DMX Krew, Dj Rephlex Records, DJ Glow, Mark Archer (Altern-8), Hudson Mohawke, Dan Lodig, Luke Eargoggle, Milanese, Automat, Fancy & Spook, Chordata, Hanno Hinkelbein and many more.
Since his first release on Bassgun Records 'I Am Alien' in 2008, he followed it up the following year with his first 6 track vinyl EP on Pomelo Records 'Social Decline' which put him on the radar after DJ Stingray put the EP at number.3 in his Resident Advisor chart. He further gained notoriety after some appearances on labels like Militant Science, Transient Force, Tudor Beats and his own label, No Divide.
Soundex Phonetic has demonstrated time and time again not only that he is here to stay, but also that he is on a mission
Aside from his outstanding DJ sets, his music is genuine, it is unique, and while it doesn't fit the label of experimental or contemporary, It lies somewhere in between. Abstract and thought provoking, in ways not often heard, always digging down into the soul with emotive elements that show the heart of this artist, while also showing the incredibly visionary skill he has towards sound design, DJ'ing & live performance.

The London based electro label Cultivated Electronics is starting its EU tour at C12 in Brussels this Saturday with three of their forces, the boss himself Sync 24, the Finnish duo Morphology & Carl Finlow aka Silicon Scally. 

The Belgian DJ and promoter Ben Nidrev, who is a huge fan of the label, will play as support act and he delivered for us a mixtape full of his favorite electro tracks. 

Bio : Deeply rooted in the underground scene in Brussels, Nidrev is a DJ and promoter since 2010. As his interest for electronic music was growing bigger every year, he soon focused on putting up his own alternative radio show, Kick Back, through which he expanded his knowledge of electronic music. Presently working as a promoter for the fast-paced growing projects Mentality and Terminal Techno, and one half of techno and ambient duo Shades, Nidrev is definitely what you’d call a multifaceted artist. 


From playing straight to the face drum & bass in the deepest basements to uplifting electro breakbeats , he’s known for being able to easily juggle with a wide variety of genres and styles, never playing the same set twice.

Tracklistings Mixtape #335 (2018.09.05) : Nidrev

Time sure does fly when you’re having fun, and so it is that we’ve already raced up to podcast number 200. We’ve managed to call upon a suitably large name for the honour; someone who has very much shaped the techno scene over the course of the last 20 years and continues to excite people every time he plays. That man is Surgeon. As a performer, Birmingham’s Anthony Childs was one of the first men to embrace and exploit the possibilities of Ableton Live and Final Scratch. His mastery of that technology made his sets even more improvised and innovative, and over the years he has never compromised his vision. He plays with a sense of devastation and destruction that explores the very outer edges of what is possible, while always keeping the dance floor absolutely locked in. It’s been the same since he founded his hometown’s first techno club, House of God, at the start of the 90s. 

As a producer—whether solo or in celebrated collaborations with Regis as British Murder Boys or Ben Sims as Frequency 7—he seems to be getting better with age. Right from his first EP on Karl O’Connor’s Downwards in 1994, surgeon has had a hard hitting, linear style that remains to this day. Recent years saw him return to a primitive rave style and incorporate the gritty industrial influences of his youth. But in 2018 he evolved again and served up what many consider to be his best album in years. Luminosity Device features a more rhythmic, playful sense of drum programming next to his meticulously crafted synths and enthralling sense of urgency and future paranoia. The nuance in his tracks is now as intriguing as the visceral power of the kicks, and it all adds up to an album that works as well on headphones, at home, as it does on the dance floor. It’s proper techno by a proper techno head. 

And so is the mix he has put together for us. Over 1 hour 45 minutes, the man calls upon plenty of pivotal names from Juan Atkins and Oscar Mulero to Donato Dozzy and James Ruskin. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way, so that zoned out passages of dubbed out drums are followed by intergalactic space battles and moments of synth laden intensity. It’s a testament to Surgeon’s skills that he can take you to such far ranging corners of the techno world without ever getting lost.
