If you ask me for techno mixes ...

Train Wrecks is a new podcast series from Dustin Zahn & Enemy Records. Contrary to most podcasts related to electronic music, Zahn has chosen to go for a talk-show format where he’ll host weekly guests from the techno and house community. The basis will always be industry and music related, but the main emphasis will be placed on the personalities, stories, opinions, and daily-lives of the DJs and producers themselves.

    “A goal of mine is to give people insight to some of their favorite acts. An even bigger goal is to introduce them to acts they haven’t heard of or perhaps people they have chosen to ignore. I think once you learn what someone is about or what they stand for as a musician and as a person, it changes your whole perspective.” –Dustin Zahn

The comical-yet-educated tone is inspired by the early days in which DJs initially spend time at home with friends as they discover records and beat-matching for their first time. Train Wrecks has quickly set that tone for series by making the first few episodes available immediately. Initially, the show will debut two episodes per week before slowing the pace down to approximately one per week. Zahn also intends for the podcast to be a ‘limited-run’ project due to other commitments but hasn’t excluded the idea of bringing in other hosts.

    “With the demise of message boards and rise of social media threads, there has been a lack of discussion among music fans. The only thing people seem to discuss is sensationalized stories or videos from events. I hope to bring real discussion back to the table and educate some people along the way. Some episodes will be much more fun and light-hearted whereas other episodes will be history lessons or focused on industry-related advice.” –Dustin Zahn

I'm happy to announce I've started a new podcast series! Each week I'll bring in DJ/Producers from the industry to chat about life and music. If you like what you hear, head to the official site above to see more episodes or subscribe on iTunes!

Adam X stopped by for a lengthy chat about all things music. In the early days, he ran the infamous Sonic Groove record shop in NY while moonlighting as a DJ on the International circuit. When record sales dropped off due to a combination of the devastating act of 9/11 and the advent of the digital DJing era, Adam closed up shop and took off to Berlin where he would find a new era of musical inspiration and success.

Once he arrived in Berlin, he started a series of parties called "Crossing the Parallel" which received notoriety for combining the worlds of EBM, industrial, techno and electro together. On the production side, he was behind the initially-anonymous Transversable Wormhole project, which led to a re-release on CLR with a massive remix project that followed.

Fast forward to today, he has been making the rounds in Europe and the United States as a DJ on a weekly basis. He just finished an album for L.I.E.S. and continues to run the Sonic Groove record label. In his spare time, he regularly photographs and documents Berlin's graffiti scene.

UK Techno legend Steve Bicknell is our guest this week as he stops by to chat about his past, present, and future. Along with his partner Sheree Rashit, he was responsible for inspiring an entire generation of UK clubbers with their legendary LOST parties in London. He's also responsible for Cosmic Records which has rich discography of his productions along with the likes of Oliver Ho, Phase, Surgeon, and Robert Hood.

As he explains during his chat with Dustin, he decided to take a break about 10 years ago in order to spend more time with his family. A few years ago, Steve popped up on the radar again with a remix for Plastikman. He quickly followed with a few releases on his dormant Cosmic Records imprint, some guest appearances on Ostgut Ton, and remixes for the likes of Terrence Fixmer and Dustin Zahn himself. Steve also goes into detail about his revived love for techno and what lies on the horizon.

SlothBoogie Guestmix #55 - The Revenge - Halloween Special

New York based dub king Brendon Moeller was so kind to make this amazing hypnotic podcast for our beloved BALANS series. Brendon has been making waves in the EDM scene for almost 20 years now and is well known for his Beat Pharmacy and Echologist monnikers. And with his imprint Steadfast he delivers the highest quality dancefloor music around nowadays. A new album is due in april on Speedy J's Electric Deluxe label, but first he will drop an Echologist remix on Wolfskuil Ltd by the end of march!

As always we had a small Q&A with the South African master:

01.What is you relationship with Balans?

I have done a remix for Wolfskuil artist Roger Gerressen and for ESHU on their recently launched imprint with the same name.

02.What do you do to try and stay in balance? Any tips & secrets you would like to share with us night folks?

Eat well, exercise, sleep and only smoke good weed and stick with beer!

03.About the podcast, can you tell us the story behind the mix?

Once upon a Thursday afternoon, a middle-aged man decided to embark on a creative mission. That mission would be to lay down approximately 60 minutes of groovy psychedelic electronic music that would take the listeners on a journey that would enable them to transcend time and space.

04.What gear did you use to make the Balans podcast?

The mix is the first mix I completed incorporating a modified korg monotribe. It was done in my home studio using ableton and a UC-33e controller. Recorded in one take, no rehearsing.

05.Were do you have in store for us (gigs/releases) the coming months?

I have an album dropping on EDLX in April and will be touring Europe all of April and May. The first single from the album features mixes by Tommy Four Seven and Jonas Kopp.

Thank you Brendon! Enjoy the podcast everyone!

BALANS012 - Brendon Moeller

We have a very special guest for this episode. Man of the moment and one of the artists that sets the course for techno as we speak, Shifted, is on duty for episode 19. Noone knows exactly who is behind this mysterious monnniker, all we know he is no newcomer to the electronic arena. His debutalbum 'Crossed Paths' on Luke Slater's Mote Evolver label, is a stunning collection of tracks: rich in textures and with an almost physical ambiance. He made this podcast especially for his appearance at the first edition of BALANS at Melkweg on friday the 6th of july. Enjoy the darkness and make sure you don't miss him in Amsterdam!

As always, we had our Q&A with the mystery man:

01.What is you relationship with Balans?

No relationship to mention really, i'm just a fan of both the label, which is putting out consistently great music and of Darko as a producer.

02.What do you do to try and stay in balance? Any tips & secrets you would like to share with us night folks?

Try to eat well, not drink to much and enjoy life. Stress is the cause of so much ill health, I think if you have a healthy mind then your body follows.

03.About the podcast, can you tell us the story behind the mix?

I just wanted to do something more aimed at the Dancefloor. the intro and the outro also have some processed field recordings that i added on top to make it a little more interesting.

04.What gear did you use to make the Balans podcast?

Usually i'm playing vinyl, but i just recently moved to Berlin and as a result have no Technics here at the moment. I put this together in Ableton Live.

05.What do you have in store for us (gigs/releases) the coming months?

I have a collaboration with Edit Select that just came out on Semantica, I'm also working on a full EP for them. Aside from that theres remixes for Mike Parker, DJ Skirt & Planetary Assault Systems coming soon. And i'm working on a new Pacific Blue 12" and something for Avian.. No doubt there will be another EP for Mote Evolver this year as well.
