Guest Mixes

Ben Marsden aka Means&3rd provided Forsvarlig Arkiv with its 113th outing this week. The Manchester-based deejay & producer has been keeping himself busy with music for over two decades by participating in and scheming multifarious activities.

From dancefloor experience all the way to a true professional understanding of what sustains a healthy scene, Ben has been involved in playing, promoting, producing and distributing. The latter comes both in the form of curating for Eastern Bloc Records as well as his label Unveiled Nuance, which is used as a platform for his own productions.

The mix serves as an outlet for Ben’s fine vision on techno by pulling you through broken structures and entrancing beats. A true joy to listen to.

@charlie-yerondais
An all-star selector who builds sets from the underground up, Chaz is a deep digger, classy collector and all-round purveyor of rare finds and classic tracks from the bygone eras of house, techno, trance, electro and iterations in-between. Having played host to international artists including Kabuto and Mark/Klon Dump under the Syrup Records banner, Chaz is well acquainted with throwing a damn good party. In more recent times, Techworld (run alongside @sandpit_alias) has risen like a technicolour phoenix from the ashes of lockdown to cult-like status. As the scene’s taste for faster tempos grows and accelerates, Techworld offers monthly reprieve from the chaos by taking us back to basics. Good records, long sets, a rotating roster of the country’s finest DJs and a custom ENM Research mixer coalesce (with a few blue drinks) once a month at miscellanea to give us 18 hours of unadulterated afterhours hedonism. Chaz joined me live in the PBS studio for Passing Notes episode 187, but here we are lucky to hear a 1 hour guest mix recorded live at Techworld.

A steady and fulfilling path has been walked by Means&3rd aka Ben Marsden to get him to the creative space he currently occupies.

A Manchester resident since 2007 his musical education has been nurtured by the city and the experiences that have come with it. First beginning with his musical education, shortly followed by many years of promoting events and culminated in securing a spot behind the counter at one of the UK’s finest record stores, Eastern Bloc Records, where he currently curates the House and Techno sections.

A local favourite and regular of Manchester's White Hotel, Warehouse Project, Soup Kitchen, and the close quarters of Eastern Bloc's very own club night his DJ'ing style has matured over the years to convey a more textured, headier but no less driving vision of techno that is always cohesive within its layers and never struggles to provide a boundless dynamic, especially when given the chance to play extended sets where he truly thrives, a keen intuition developed from over 2 decades of DJing.

More recently he has zeroed in on his production skills with 2021 seeing the launch of his own imprint 'Unveiled Nuance' which will serve as a platform for his own productions and a true introduction to his sound as an artist. After years of meticulous analysis of his craft and the invaluable knowledge gained via the record shop, he has truly begun to sculpt his own sonic identity with a sharp attentiveness to detail.

After being an attendee since 2013 this was an insane opportunity for myself and I really hope I did it justice. A beautiful weekend in the welsh countryside surrounded by the most amazing community. The energy in there was felt by all and I think the recording captures it well. Thanks all for coming through, you all made it one that will be etched in my memory forever!

Eversines b2b Marie K (LIVE) - BFC ADE 2024: RADION Saturday

Ivan Smagghe is stepping up to take over Tapes #142. Known for his ability to play music like a raw conduit between famously obscure records whilst never losing sight of the dancefloor’s strobe soaked bodies - injecting something of himself seamlessly into the mix along the way. 

His genre defying/defining production from Black Strobe, It’s A Fine Line, Smagghe & Cross and now Ivan & Johnny has connected him to and garnered the praise from the likes of Craig Richards, Vladimir Ivkovic, Paranoid London, Solar and of course, his long time friend Andrew Weatherall - all fellow crusaders in the fight to prove that electronic music is so much more than a one dimensional soundtrack for a night on the lash, and so much more than an Instagram account.

Caim - BFC ADE 2024: RADION Saturday

Recorded at 宀 in Hong Kong on November 9th 2024

Cosmo is a DJ and producer based in Seoul, recognized as one of the most active and consistent figures in the city’s vibrant club scene. With residencies at Seoul’s BBCB: Beton Brut + Concrete Bar, she is now expanding her reach across Asia and Europe.Her DJ sets are known for their fluid mix of deep house, Balearic, and psychedelic disco, with occasional ventures into techier sounds. Rather than sticking to a single style, she creates an ethereal and radiant atmosphere, combining dynamic energy with storytelling that draws the audience into an immersive narrative.On her debut solo EP [JIN09], released through Taipei’s 禁JIN Records, Cosmo explores a celestial soundscape, blendinghouse and Balearic influences with 90s darker technoto craft a release that is both dreamy and daring. Her music reflects the sounds she envisions for clubs—tracks that resonate on the dancefloor while evoking deep emotion and imagination, much like her DJ sets

Live At 宀

MIX072 - Cosmo (首爾) [Live for Giegling]

Nicely nestled amongst Sammy Dee, Moopie & Magda Bytnerowicz, I was asked to replace Grandmaster Zip (Perlon) for the party hosted by Lifeworld & Spincycle. I warmed up for Sammy Dee, and this is what that sounded like.
