It’s a pleasure to pick up our podcast series again with one of the most peaceful and elegant mixes we’ve ever hosted on TSS. Our ears go to Sydney - Australia, where Dan and Gary have started the phenomenal Low End Theorists platform, and its recordlabel Theory Therapy. From there they are hosting music that we’ve fell in love with many of times and that’s why we are very honoured that Dan mixed an hour of his favourites for us, under his known moniker Patrin.

"For me, this mix is one of the more emotional directions I've taken lately. I've really enjoyed selecting certain tracks based on strong feelings or moods in recent times, and having the chance to record something personal has been so rewarding and revitalising. Much like the many ups and downs of the last few months locked down inside, it was super nice to strike a balance between the sadness, joy, calmness, and everything in between. Huge love to all the artists featured for the endless inspiration."  

Thank you so much Dan!

A special mix of recordings out of a slew of releases out on China's Old Heaven Books. Old Heaven is an independent bookshop which opened in Shenzhen in 2003. In the last decade or so the shop has gradually established itself as a record label and publisher, and we're proud to be one of their distributors. 

Alongside these big names, Old Heaven documents the creative output of new and old locals working at the edges of experimental and 'traditional' music. Younger musicians like Deng Boyu and Lao Dan sit alongside dombra pioneer Mamer, and industrial groups like Puppet & IZ. New releases feature surprises, with some highlights of the mix coming from Joseeh Punmanlon, Daulet Halek and The Other Two Comrades.

Fourth World Problems II

This week our feature piece is by Berlin's legendary composer and musician Rashad Becker. 
 
Rashad Becker's compositions commonly explore multilayered narratives populated by an ensemble of sonic entities. You may be familiar with his Traditional Music Of Notional Species works, which were released across two volumes on pan_hq. Rashad is a mastering guru at Berlin’s famous Dubplates & Mastering and has mastered many of the releases we have played on our show over the last six years. He has also collaborated with the likes of Eli Keszler, Moritz von Oswald, Okkyung Lee, Andre Vida, Ashley Paul and Valerio Tricoli, just to name a few. 
 
More recently Rashard developed a new cycle of works called Based on a True Story. These works seek to generate scores from historical occurrences and processes that have had a significant impact on recent social history. Rashad has contributed a new chapter of this series to Ears Have Ears. Based on a True Story - Chapter G (Part 5) is a musical documentary with an associative score. This multi-art piece specifically references Sendero Luminoso of Peru and the life of Abimael Guzmán between 1982 and 1992. 

In his own words, Rashad describes it as referencing"the brute implications of revolutionary dialectics and the challenges these carry to the modernist economy of emotions and individual entitlement…..the confrontation and transcendence of the individual pursuit of happiness."

"I’ve never met Rod Modell (Deepchord) in person, but we have met through music. He found an obscure cassette of Chi music (from ’86), sent it to Astral Industries and paved the way for the release (30 years later) of ‘The Original Recordings’ in 2016. Since then, we’ve exchanged ideas and good music. I sent Rod a preview of ‘The Kallikatsou Recordings’ - he really liked it - and here came the idea for a remix of ‘Lanterns’. I started working on some random, lo-fi samples from Youtube, using Audacity, perhaps the simplest way of producing loops and samples. It’s the only computer based system that feels like the tape recorders I used to work with. I sent the first sketches to Rod on Facebook, but they ended up in the wrong inbox. I forgot about them, but months later he came back saying he loved them. I decided to go back to working on them, maintaining the lo-fi approach. I began manipulating the samples: time-stretching, tempo and pitch-shifting, mixing different layers and adding old-school monophonic “old speaker” effects, delays and loops. I used a few field recordings, voices and samples from my early ambient cassettes, and they matched. Ario from Astral Industries got involved and the experiment turned into a plan - a vinyl release - ‘Red Lantern at the Kallkatsou’”.

Low Flung & Will Holden - Zaatar [PCLTD04]

The first Phase Group Mix of 2021 comes to us from Frank D'Arpino, a local of Dusseldorf and resident of the Salon Des Amateurs known for his brilliant radio shows on Dublab.de. Frank has been playing music for people since the early 90s, with an open minded approach that finds harmony and evolution in mixing differing types and speeds of music together, advocating for "belief in unconventional music on the dancefloor". For us he's put together a mind-melting hour of low velocity, space age, tribal electronics and industrial level trip hop. Thanks Frank!
