This mix was made using only my dad's records.  Every one of them an original pressing, stuff he bought when he was about as old as I am now--give or take a decade.  My dad never played an instrument really, and my mom always joked that he was actually tone-deaf.  But man, what a taste in music--and in his own way, what an ear too.  My dad could tell you who was playing drums and what year the record was made after hearing the first 2 bars of a song.  Maybe his mind never quite figured out how to communicate with his hands or his voice in a musical way--but he certainly had a mind for music.  

Some of these records were his favorites, some of them are my favorites, and some of them I listened to for the first time while I was putting this mix together--discovering new favorites.

Dad, this one's for you.

Strange experiments.  Underscore to ambient video.    A variation on a theme and destroyed motif of something much more.  This is simply an EVP of something larger.  All of these odd premonitions are free for you to telegraph the coming Blue Stahli music.  See if you can find how this fits with 'Down In Flames'.  

It is just the faintest omen of this.

A WINGED VICTORY FOR THE SULLEN - 'ATOMOS VII'
12"/digital out on Erased Tapes/Kranky (US) on April 28, 2013

PRE-ORDER:

http://www.awvfts.com (band shop)

Erased Tapes and Kranky are pleased to announce the release of A Winged Victory for the Sullen's 'ATOMOS VII'. April 28 sees the first installment leading up to the release of the second full length studio album 'ATOMOS', and score for choreographer Wayne McGregor's long form dance piece. 

McGregor was heavily influenced by the duo's 2011 self-titled debut, playing it repeatedly during practices with his core group of dancers. After noticing the group's reaction with the music, he contacted Adam & Dustin to see if they could write the score for his new oeuvre. 

The duo recorded more than sixty minutes of music over a four month period during the summer of 2013 in Brussels, Berlin and Reykjavik with the help of their longtime collaborative sound engineer Francesco Donadello. This EP also sees the involvement of Ben Frost, who composed the music for McGregor's previous work 'Far'.

McGregor, mastermind behind the Random Dance Company and resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet since 2006, is known in popular culture circles for serving as movement director for the film 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'. He has also choreographed the Radiohead video 'Lotus Flower' and 'Ingenue' by Atoms for Peace.

"While we were re-amping guitars at Greenhouse studios, Ben expressed interest and admiration in the sounds we had created. We were planning for the B-side to be a metamorphosis of part VII, and Ben seemed the obvious choice. With the multi-tracks transformed, it follows a trajectory that we had not felt comfortable with before. But with Ben's involvement and influence, it was a painless entrance to this crooked, distorted world." - Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie

"We never imagined 2013 would be such an explosively creative year. The first record took us 2 years from start to finish, but in the micro span of time over last summer we were able to change the formula for the way we write, record, and let go. It was incredibly liberating." - Dustin O'Halloran

'A surprisingly emotional score' ★★★★ The Telegraph
'Intense, reflective, occasionally threatening and wholly enveloping' ★★★★ Times

A Winged Victory For The Sullen - Atomos VII

Terence Fixmer & Claudio PRC : Lunar Forest

In recent years, the term "deep" has been used and reused, to the point where the word has almost no concrete meaning in the context of electronic music. That's why artists like Efdemin (a.k.a. Phillip Sollmann) are so important; there's little question that his work is "deep," but in Sollmann's case, the descriptor has a lot more to do with the actual depth and nuanced nature of his music than it does any specific sonic signifiers. He's long been associated with Dial Records, an imprint with a long history of thoughtful, detail-oriented house and techno. On March 31, the label will be delivering Decay, Efdemin's third full-length and an effort that was largely recorded in the serene environs of Kyoto, Japan. Ahead of its release, we've enlisted the veteran German producer to put together an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast series.

For those familiar with Efdemin, the podcast will contain little in the way of surprises, though that does nothing to detract from its quality. Throughout his career, he's repeatedly hit paydirt when enriching standard techno rhythms with bits of noise and field recordings, and that holds true here. Even when the music's energy is peaking, the podcast feels like a long, slow burn, as subtle atmospheres and melodies gently give rise to thundering layers of percussion. The blends are long and the narrative is deliberate, making for a particularly immersive listen. Sure, there are ace bits of house and techno at work, not mention more pensive melodic passages that provide a little time for introspection, but this is an effort in which the final product is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

The synergy that we share with the output of Michael Mayer's Kompakt imprint is something that should never be questioned. He's been part of our programming for as long as we can remember and the label's wax output is a staple of most of our visitors’ DJ bags. Last year in fact they just celebrated 20 years in operation, which is no mean feat and most likely down to Mayer’s ongoing day to day commitment to the label and persistent discovery of new talents. With his annual Room One outing scheduled for the weekend ahead we got an opportunity to catch up what's new for 2014 and how sometimes being an in demand remixer as well as A&R takes its toll on his own personal studio time. Mayer has also provided us with a mix to outlay what we can look forward to in the dark hours of the weekend ahead right here in Farringdon.

CONTENT: ‘A Winged Victory For The Sullen’ is the first installment of the new collaboration between Stars Of The Lid founder Adam Wiltzie and L.A. composer Dustin O’Halloran. The duo agreed to leave the comfort zone of their home studios and develop the recordings with the help of large acoustic spaces, hunting down a selection of 9ft grand pianos that had the ability to deliver extreme sonic low end. Other traditional instrumentation was used including string quartet, French horn, and bassoon, but always juxtaposed is the sound of drifting guitar washed melodies. The recordings began with one late night session in the famed Grunewald Church in Berlin on a 1950s imperial Bösendorfer piano and strings were added in the historic East Berlin DDR radio studios along the River Spree. One last session on a handmade Fazioli piano in a private studio on the Northern cusp of Italy, before the final mixes took place in a 17th century villa near Ferrara with the assistance of Francesco Donadello. All songs were then processed completely analogue straight to magnetic tape. Their secret to harvesting new melodic structures from the thin air of existence was for the duo to push themselves to dangerous territory, realising that clear thinking at the wrong moment could stifle the compositions. The final result is seven landscapes of harmonic ingemination. In ‘Requiem For The Static King Part One’ – created in memory of the untimely passing of Mark Linkous – they have taken the age-old idea of a string quartet and then shot it out of a cannon to reveal exquisite new levels of sonic bliss. Of the 13 minute track ‘Symphony Pathétique’, Wiltzie says ‘after almost 20 years of struggling to create interesting ambient drone music, I feel like I have finally figured out what I am doing’. Notable guest musicians include Icelandic cellist Hildur Gudnadottir, as well as Erased Tapes label comrade Peter Broderick on violin. A Winged Victory For The Sullen is not a side project – it is the future of the late night record you have always dreamed of.

CONTEXT: On May 24th 2007, in Bologna, Italy, Adam was on tour and playing with the late Mark Linkous & his beloved Sparklehorse, on what would be their final European tour. That night Adam invited friend and colleague Francesco Donadello to see the concert, and Francesco's guest this evening was composer Dustin O'Halloran (Sofia Coppola’s ‘Marie Antoinette’ O.S.T.). Through a strange twist of backstage conversations surrounding passport cache conundrums, and love of Italian gastronomy, a curious friendship began that now has brought forth an offspring of truly curative compositions for the world to savour.

As announced by Pitchfork and Drowned In Sound the self-titled debut album of A Winged Victory For The Sullen will be released worldwide on September 9, 2011 via Erased Tapes Records (except for North America where it will be out on Kranky).

Here is a preview of my new coming 12" on ELECTRIC DELUXE , release 15 march !!!

1. When the Earth
2 .When the Sun
3. When the Moon


"After the skulking Le Terrible, Terence Fixmer plunges deep on his Electric Deluxe return to present new works of lush and dubby techno. As its title suggests opener, “When The Sun”, bounds in on a light and jovial vibe—an instant warmer, arriving just in time to thaw the clench of winter with dreamy pads and a sparkling summer-bleached melody. “When The Moon” is its evening accompaniment, continuing the kinetic energy through to nightfall with a springy, rubber-ball bassline that drives the track home. “When The Earth” concludes on a more Fixmer-recognisable note. Employing signature industrial touches and dark to spooky atmospherics he delivers another stunning piece of dance floor hypnotism."

** Support from Peter Van Hoesen, Ben Klock, Dave Clarke, Adam X, Rolando, Troy Pierce, Alexi Delano, Adam Beyer, Jonas kopp, Gary Beck and many more..**

Terence Fixmer : When the Sun EP ( SAMPLER 3 TRACK EP)

This track was written and recorded in a single day. It is a short "what if" thesis asking "What do acoustic gut string guitar, vocal, hammered dulcimer, AC-30/Ebo/Tele sound like with judicious amounts of spectral bluring and some Csound granular opcodes". Inspired by a conversation...a long and meaningful one, late at night. 

Sometimes conversations become a place, that in memory at least, you can return too. Listening to this I can remember where I was sitting, and the way I held the phone and exactly how I felt on this very hushed night. 

I took this photograph in Erskine in Australia (short drive inland from the coastal town of Lorne). It was taken on a 5DmII using a 17mm 1.4 L lense and I did minor color correcting/film grain/vignetting in Magic Bullet. It seemed to really suit this piece. 

Excited to share these two new albums with you. Enjoy.

Efdemin (Dial Records / from Germany)
2007年5月にDial Recordsから1stアルバム"Efdemin"をリリース。一方では、Bpitch Control、Dessous、Morris Audio、AUS、Brut!などのレーベルからリミックス作品を次々に発表、2007年はPhillip Sollmann a.k.a. Efdeminにとって一躍その名をシーンへと知らしめる年になった。 彼の初期の作品はTheo Parrishの影響を強く受けたアブストラクト・ハウスへと焦点をあてていたが、アルバムリリースの頃から、彼の独特のディープな世界観を壊すことなく オールドスクールの香りを現代的にアレンジし、より機能的なアプローチへと変化させ、耳の肥えたテクノファンをも唸らせた。続けて2008年には、フラン クフルトのテクノ総帥Sven Vathの主宰するCocoon Compilation Hへの参加をはじめ、自身初のMix CD となる”Carry on - pretend we're not in the room”をベルギーのCurle Recordingsよりリリース。深遠で精密な楽曲群をこまやかに折り重ねていく彼独特のDJスタイルは、あたかも感覚を呼び起こしていくかのようで、 まさに覚醒的。聴く者を魅了し、中毒性が非常に高いといわれている。2010年7月、3年ぶりとなるセカンドアルバムにしてキャリア集大成、デリケートでディープなジャーマン・テックハウスアルバム"CHICAGO"をリリースした。

ーミックスの使用機材を教えてください。
 
２ターンテーブル、UREI、RME FIREFACE、FX UNIT、あとはプロモをかけるのにTraktor Scratchを使ったよ。
 
 
ーミックスの録音環境を教えてください。

僕の音楽室でワンテイクで録ったよ。音楽室には、レコードが置いてあって、機材が置いてあるんだ。あとは、本を読むためにも使っているよ。
 
 
ーこのミックスのアイデアやコンセプトを教えてください。
 
ミックスはUKでプレイした週末のあとの月曜日の午後に録ったよ。僕の最近のお気に入りの、ハウスマインドを持ち合わせたダーティーでアナログっぽい質感のテクノトラックを収録したよ。１時間という限られた時間の中だから僕のプレイの本質の全ては表現できていないけど、バイナルのミックスには特に注意を払ったよ。
 

ー近況と最近の活動について教えてください。

今、oliver kargl a.k.a. rndmと一緒にPigon名義の新しいライブセットを作っているんだ。あと僕らはDialと他のレーベルからリリースするためのトラックも作っているよ。


ー今後の活動予定を教えてください。
 
DJツアーやトラック制作を可能な限りこなしているよ。たくさんのアイデアはあるんだけど、時間は限られているね。
トラック制作については、curleからリリースされるトラックを作って、次はNaiifっていう僕の小さなレーベルから出す曲を作るよ。このレーベルは1枚目に僕とNina Kraviz、2枚目はrndmとJuergen Junkerをリリースしたんだ。
また最近リリースしたアルバムCHICAGOのリミックスの完成を待っているのと、phillip sollmann名義でのエレクトロアコースティックのコンサートに出演するんだ。
そして8月、古くからの仲間、Lawrenceと来日する予定なんだ。僕らは、日本の文化と人々のファンだから、凄く楽しみにしているよ。そろそろ日を数え始めないとね！

FACT mix 387 - DJ Koze (June '13)

Efdemin aka Phillip Sollmann (born 1974 in Kassel) is a German DJ, producer and musician based in Berlin. Known for his deep, psychedelic, and idiosyncratic take on both house and techno, he has released numerous 12“s on various labels, three albums on DIAL and a fourth LP called "New Atlantis" on Berghain´s inhouse Label Ostgut in 2019
