Patrick Russell is a true veteran of the underground, perhaps one of the last unsung heroes of a now lost era in the Midwest. He magically transforms the diaspora of pure jack energy into a fluent sonic dialog that never fails to devastate both minds and dance floor. 

A Detroit-bred DJ, artist and producer since the early 90's, Patrick has now made Brooklyn his home. His lengthy resume includes such highlights as an exclusive 2007 set with Jeff Mills in Detroit, performing at the 2001 & 2008 DEMF/Movement festivals in Detroit, more recent appearances at Boiler Room, Unsound, and BEMF in New York, to being a key figure in the now legendary No Way Back parties. In addition, he has been steadily building a strong catalog of high-profile remixes to compliment his increasingly varied and in-demand DJ sets.

His consummate taste and ecstatic yet disciplined execution have created a respect that cannot be purchased. Patrick is not just one to watch, he is one to be experienced.

Tracklist:
Max Loderbauer - Au
David Hykes & The Harmonic Choir - Ascending And Descending
Terry Riley - Poppy Nogood And The Phantom Band
Tomorrowland - The People Mover
Liima - Version 2
Senking - Ping
Wendy Carlos - Fall
Louise Huebner - Orgies: A Tool Of Witchcraft

GhostlyCast #52: Patrick Russell - Innsmouth Shadow

Ntogn [ Hypnus Records ] Sweden 

For 40'000 years, man has performed sacred rituals in order to commune with the ruling forces of life and motion. In pace with rapid beats and under the influence of entheogenic sacraments, we have been dancing and raving in the smoke of sacred fires in order to travel inwards to the undergrounds of bordering dimensions and beyond to the distant fringe of the universe.
Ntogn (enteogen) wants to embody these holy flames and visionary clouds of smoke. To act as a sonic magician, not only fusing the five elements of the pentagram with spells evoked in swirling, dark and psychedelic techno rituals, but also to create a mythological and occult narrative.
Body. Mind. Spirit.

Tracklist:
Mike Parker - Blue Equals Black
Abstract Division - Collision
Abstract Division - Magnitude
The End of All Existence - A Storm Will Break the Silence
Periskop - Polar 1. IV
Alan Backdrop - Nohim (Save the Planet Earth)
Dadub - Vibration
Carbon Based Lifeforms - Somewhere in Russia
Lucy - Estragon
Dscrd - Interium
Tommy Four Seven - G
Xhin - Seed
Milton Bradley - Hypnagogic
Dadub - Death

Live @ Labyrinth - Pete Namlook Tribute

John Balance and Peter Christopherson (ex-members of such famous acts as 23 Skidoo and Current 93) were a part of the notorious Psychic TV before creating Coil in 1983. Inspired by ritual practice, transformation, and musical exploration, Coil left their indelible mark on several generations of musicians and listeners. Their musical journeys, oftentimes serene, impulsive, or cinematic, always subscribed to the counter currents, as they ceaselessly opened new possibilities - as timeless as they were modern. This recording, never released before, featured Christopherson and longtime associate Thighpaulsandra. A great loss for music,  both Christopherson and Balance have since passed away.

IA MIX 142 Peter Van Hoesen

This hybrid DJ / Live Set was recorded in a yurt structure at the Freerotation Festival in Wales. This time my idea for the set was to take us all much further out, much deeper inside than the set from last year. A more disembodied experience. 

As I had done last year, I sat on the floor in front of the speakers to perform instead of behind them as a DJ normally does. This greatly enhanced my feeling of experiencing the set with the audience, dissolving the usual performer / audience divide. 
Below is the list of tracks that I played in addition to live improvisation using a eurorack modular system.

Many thanks to Steevio, the whole Freerotation crew and everyone who experienced it there with me.

Henry Wolff & Nancy Hennings - Crossing the Line - Tibetan Bells III
Delia Derbyshire - Running - Inventions For Radio - Dreams

Surgeon (ambient set) at Freerotation 2014

Whilst recently digitising my tape archive I came across this one from Geff/John Balance of Coil, with whom I frequently exchanged music. It features this one solitary track which I believe he gave me to play out at my Electronic Lounge club that I ran at the Institute of Contemporary Arts London in 1994.

The other side features remixes of the band Stabbing Westward tune 'Lies' but don't believe this has anything to do with Coil. I just think Geff was recycling a tape that was lying around in the studio. This seems to be an alternative mix of ELpH - Static Electrician, longer than the released version.

I share it with you out of respect to the memory of great people no longer with us, and ask that you don't try to profit by making money out of this. Gift culture can make others happy :-)
