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.

Surgeon (ambient set) at Freerotation 2014

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 25th of August 2014

Token followers can rejoice that now, 2014, Surgeon finally makes his official debut on the label. 'Fixed Action Pattern' comes as prequel to 'Aphelion', a forthcoming compilation of new and exclusive material. Aphelion will differ from last year’s Token Introspective mix CD by providing a collection of bespoke productions from Token regulars and like-minded artist who were commissioned by label owner Kr!z to bring their individual and complimenting sound to the Belgian imprint’s all-consuming 48th release.

Anthony Child has appeared on Token once before in 2008 remixing Grovskopa’s Sex & Violins, and while regularly supporting the label’s music in his DJ sets, it’s been a long awaited six years for UK techno’s most trusted producer to resurface on an imprint he’s helped inspire and influence. Surgeon’s two-track Fixed Action Pattern certifies Token’s credentials as a titan power in the world of no frills, industrially hardened techno, and this 46th release since the label took shape in 2007 follows this year’s Vaudeville LP by Inigo Kennedy, Orphx and Ancient Method’s relentless debut as Eschaton, Ctrls’ fifth EP for Token, more quality output as usual from Ø [Phase], and Christian Wünsch & Oscar Mulero’s second release for Kr!z as Spherical Coordinates.

Combining distorted drums similar to his earlier works on Dynamic Tension with a rusted synth progression Inigo Kennedy enthusiasts will inherently gravitate toward, “Fixed Action Pattern” is a bona-fide, rhythmically broken, Surgeon classic. For a second option Child provides a spatial dub version Lee “Scratch” Perry would produce had industrial techno been his thing, sequencing a loosened variant of drums disjointed by the injured swing of its tempo, cloaked in the lonesome moans of a distant fog horn, subtle feedback loops and splashes of space echo.

Rinse FM Podcast - Surgeon - 13th August 2014

Back in the day, drums were used as signals for festivities and war because their sounds travelled the furthest. Azu Tiwaline has long understood that. A master in the dark arts of percussion, she makes deep and profound percussive music that seems to communicate forgotten rituals from centuries past. Her sound is dense, as if pulled from the depths of the Sahara desert in Tunisia, yet still feels spacious thanks to polyrhythmic contortions and sparse, elegant melodies.

Her productions largely fall into the confines of percussive techno, but unlike the genre's springier variants, her dubby textures and psychedelic rhythms command seriousness and move with immensity. Her Livity Sound debut, the Magnetic Service EP from 2020, connected Amazigh music with dub and techno and is a masterclass in restraint and hypnosis. Her latest release, The Fifth Dream, continues to showcase her skills in balancing light and dark tones using field recordings from her home in Tunisia's El Djerid desert, minimal ambient techno and haunting notes.

Mirroring her discography, this RA Podcast features plenty of twisted rhythms, trippy techno and straightforward club cuts. Created for movement rather than hypnosis, these selections show off a different side of her drum palette—perky breaks and syncopated kicks—wrapped in her usual weighty atmospheres.

British-Nigerian-born, Berlin-based Richard Akingbehin (@richard-akingbehin) is behind many crucial projects in electronic music, and most of them revolve around his exploration of deep and dubby sounds. Not only is he a co-founder of the excellent Refuge Worldwide radio station, but he also runs the experimental label Kynant Record and has some key residencies when not headlining other cult clubs around the world. His label recently released the first new album from dub techno don Tikiman in almost 20 years and this summer the pair will be playing together again as part of a mini tour. 

Ahead of joining us at Dekmantel Selectors later this year, Richard recorded this week's mix for us in the Refuge Worldwide studio with the aim of showcasing what he is playing in the clubs at the moment. It takes in his signature blend of dub techno styles with music from the likes of Parallel 9, Tikiman, Dialog and Delano Smith. It's spacious and unhurried but slowly ramps up the pressure to get you on your toes and vibing to his ever-warm, supple and minimal rhythms.

Technology as the number one source of inspiration. Real time musical programming, unlimited improvisation and experimentation. Stretching the boundaries of electronic music.
Atom™ and Tobias. have been two key figures in the development of European ‘techno’ from the very beginning. Active since the 1980s, both artists have represented major cogs in the community. 1990 marks their first collaborative performance in Frankfurt, emerging as one of the first live shows ever played within this scene. From here the two started a journey of sonic explorations which led them to release the mighty “Elektroniikkaa” live recording from Helsinki and Montreux. Their subsequent releases are all derivatives of live performances, which consistently remain the number one focus.

Despite a spatial separation given by Atom’s relocation to Chile and Tobias’ to Berlin, upon reconnecting with the machines in 2003 creative flow surged spontaneously. Throughout the expressive tool of live performance, Atom™ and Tobias are able to create sound through an eccentrical deviation from all musical standards and a total adaptation to their environment.

This is the core of their improvisations: a total abandonment to each other's creativity, in which their consciousnesses merge and flow into the instruments in front of them.
Having both experienced three decades of music and some of the world’s most exceptional dance floors such as Berghain or Panorama Bar, their knowledge of the sonic realm is limitless. Their latest performances have reached clubs such as Kyiv’s Closer to Japan’s Labyrinth Festival in Japan.


Atom™ & Tobias. live @ Mostra 2024 🖤

Here’s the recording of my eclectic DJ set from Friday evening at Monument Festival 2024. Played during a golden sunset on a warm, beautiful Norwegian summer night in early August, the vibe was pure magic. This set blends dubby deep house, rominimal, house, and tech house — a journey through grooves and textures tailored for that perfect transition from day to night.

Thanks to everyone who danced with me. Hope you enjoy the ride. 🌅✨

The inimitable self-titled album “Voices from the Lake” from Donato Dozzy and Neel. Now reimagined in a seamless, immersive live mix. Carefully crafted for the community, this tribute aims to bring this seminal ambient techno album’s hypnotic flow and aquatic depth into a new, breathing form.

Next transmission from the outer zones: Xiaolin (Hong Kong) on the next Terra Magica Rec. label showcase, opening her vinyl bag and drops an hour of vinyl-only mix. Progressive trance gets twisted, acid house turns gritty and breakbeats trip over themselves in all the right ways. All vinyl. All magica. No straight lines.

The Bunker Podcast 235 comes from @erikluebs. This is a live set recorded in Milan on March 28 at the party Acquario.

Erik Luebs is a US-born musician and sound designer based in Japan. Eschewing typical genre tropes, Luebs approaches techno with a playfully disruptive technique, reinterpreting the fundamentals using built-from-scratch patches and labyrinthine sequencing. While the labor-intensive process is inspired by a wide range of luminaries such as Mark Fell and Rrose, the resulting music is firmly tied to the dance floor.

Luebs released an EP on The Bunker back in 2021, and has since released on DJ Nobu’s Bitta label (@djnobu_bitta), and @nousklaeraudio. He also has an upcoming release on the legendary @kompakt imprint.

Erik will be playing an ambisonic surround sound set for a horizontal audience at Going In at Reforestor’s Laboratory in Brooklyn this Friday, and an extended sunrise dancefloor set at The Bunker’s takeover of @nowadaysnyc Nonstop on Sunday morning.
