Nedda Sou at Dekmantel Festival 2022

AĒSOP RADIOMATIQUE MIXTAPE

Empress CC! 是 Eva 的音乐身份。熟悉的人都知道，她是我们的老朋友。除了在每一次工作坊中，你都能看到不疾不徐的她，将音乐制作的技巧悠然道来，她还出现在 Scandal 最近发行的合辑中，带来「Null Sanction」—— 一首暗黑气氛、据她说「挺不DJ friendly」但好听的曲子。
好的故事讲述从来都是苦乐并存，Eva 喜欢以自己的方式挑战听者。在这次为 Scandal 录制的 mix 中，她以自己悉心收集的 bass 音乐为底色，整体逻辑上打破 DJ 放歌愈放愈烈的标准制式，将上下波动的能量化为听觉过山车，令你的心绪跌宕起伏，随之全然沉浸与松弛。
Scandal 与 Eva 的相遇，始于工作坊的组织过程。对于 Scandal 来说，由女性讲授者来讲解音乐是非常必要的，因为制造这样的日常，人们才能够将女性提供权威视角视为日常，而 Eva 就是我们能够找到的那位“真命天女”。期待未来一起走的日子，我们都可以变更好，走更远。

Eelco's Electro Mixtape Vol. 18

Kerrie started a label called Dark Machine Funk, a name which hints toward the kind of music she plays. And while the Irish artist might be a capital-T techno DJ, her idea of "dark" is a little different than the black-clad legions of her generation. You won't find whiplash-inducing BPMs or racy pop edits in her sets. Her idea of techno is more classicist, without veering towards the stuffy or the retro. Her DJIng and her productions bridge the divide between Euro and  American styles. Hints of breakbeat or other broken patterns bring in ideas from the UK techno that she loves so much, such as the pivotal label Blueprint, where she's become a regular  as of late.

With her, the devil's in the details (listen to those deliciously twisted hi-hats in recent track "Transient Belief"), and that comes down to mixing records, too. Her RA Podcast is a fast but measured run-through of 90 minutes of techno by artists like Exium and Tensal and from labels such as Token and Soma. Though none of her own tunes make the tracklist, this mix perfectly captures Kerrie's style. She's someone who appreciates that the real power and force of techno comes from its groove, not just the impact of the kick drum or pure speed.

RA.896 Kerrie

At what point does a new tool or technology become so integral to a process as to be intrinsic? And what happens if that technology starts to subordinate its user? 

By reflecting on these questions Machine Alliance, the new EP by Irish producer Kerrie on Tresor Records, connects her music to the sci-fi origins of techno and electronic music in general.

With inspiration from classic books and films of the genre such as The Machine Stops, The Matrix, and Blade Runner as well as modern explorations in art and philosophy like Free Your Mind and Technopoly, the EP's title takes on two opposing but intersecting meanings. 

One, based on the potential for machines to take over or replace humans, is a key idea of sci-fi that seems closer to reality with the arrival of machine learning and real artificial intelligence.

The second has a much more positive view, one where the "alliance" is between the artist and machine to create the music, a process she places immense value on, being both cathartic and therapeutic, whilst also being a vehicle of addition and expansion:


"I feel that it's a collaboration&hellip;the machines are precise in their timing and I add the human touch (literally) in the live performance which adds natural imperfections, so we both provide something the other can't. There's also an element of growth; the machines get updates and so are always expanding in terms of their musical capabilities. And the more I push my own technical abilities I feel we are growing together in a constant synchronised dance."

This "dance" results in four tracks (plus three digital-only bonuses) of classic machine funk which combine the aforementioned ideas in sci-fi with a deep lifelong affection for techno. Tracks like Ode to the D, and Technopoly Dream display this love through her choice of sounds and structure, both intentional and subconscious, while Replicants, and Human in the Loop project into other genres to fully round this release off as a contemporary example of music rooted in both past and future.

About her favorite track:
Patrice Scott - Rain Dance 
“ This track is such a soul cleanser, the singing instruments, the groove…everything feels so warmand vulnerable. The first time I heard this track I danced soooo hard!”

This is the recording of my opening set for 212 on Kings Night at Ketelhuis in Eindhoven.

Kings Night - Ketelhuis - Eindhoven - 26.04.24

We’ve listen to this track so many times that we’ve lost track of time. “Time” is an absolutely stunning track from Pachanga Boys, the duo of Rebolledo and Superpitcher. It clocks in at almost 16 minutes, but we still can’t enough of it. From their recently vinyl-only EP “Girlcatcher” on their Hippie Dance imprint. Limited to 300 coloured vinyl, including artprint-inlay and handsigned postcard. Grab it while you can here.

Recording of my live set from Room 3, Saturday 6th July 2019! I built this set from scratch for the festival and thoroughly enjoyed the process! To play at Freerotation has been a huge milestone for me which I had dreamt about since first attending 6 FR ago... The energy in that room was like nothing I have ever experienced before and I think the recording captures it well! Hope you enjoy! x

Live Set @ Freerotation 2019

Eelco has been obsessed with music since a very young age. Like many Techno DJ’s he’s always had an eclectic taste in music that goes from metal to jazz to classical, drum & bass, hip hop, etc. He had an epiphany when he went to his first AWAKENINGS techno party in Amsterdam many years ago. Since then he’s been addicted to this pulsing sound. His favorite styles are Techno and Electro. “The first time I walked into a Warehouse. And FELT that hard Bass, sharp hi-hats, and hypnotizing techno sound, I knew I had come home. 
I want to spread my religious passion for the sounds of proper TECHNO!

Eelco自年少时就开始沉迷在音乐的世界当中，与许多Techno DJ一样，他有着自己不拘一格的品味，从金属到爵士，再到古典和鼓打贝斯等。20年前第一次参加Techno派对时，他感受到一种前所未有的顿悟，以至于不可自拔地爱上了这种声音。Techno与Electro是他最喜爱的音乐风格。
“当我第一次走进被低音填满的仓库，尖锐的镲声与令人着迷的Techno之声，我知道自已经回家了，我希望用我纯粹的热情来传播这特有的Techno之声！”
