Hemmed OUT – by peoplelikeusdj

Most of us in our everyday life find ourselves hemmed in.  Hemmed in by expectations of friends and family, hemmed in by societal norms and traditions, where the consequences of stepping outside of these hemmed in boundaries seem too unsure to try something different.

As with the sharing of music, especially in clubs, there seems to be a prevalence of “playing it safe” hemmed in by the perceived expectations of the dancefloor to feed them wall to wall bangers, keeping the energy high in fear of losing the dancefloor.  The smoking area is now an additional foe in this battle for attention – the increasing short attention of this smartphone generation we all find ourselves victims of in some way or another.

As a result, rarely am I taken by surprise by a DJ in a club setting – once the first few records are played through the Soundsystem we tend to know what to expect for the next few hours, what sounds, what tempo and what we will be made or invited to feel.  

Hemmed in by bpm, genre, and the requirement to please the dancers.  Of course, this can be lots of fun for all involved but at the end of a club DJ set, I’m often left feeling like there was something missing…

This hemmed OUT series of shows for Mutant Radio looks to begin to explore different dancefloor possibilities, to begin to unpick, unstitch the lines of dancefloor expectations that have been sewn…

…to invite the dancefloor to moments of wonky undefined genre sounds, to explore what this does to our bodies, ambient moments that are sometimes serene, euphoric, peaceful that can also be read with dark undertones – moments that make you want to lie prostrate or curl up in a ball…moments before or after dancing frenetic to sounds that call for this.  

hemmed OUT looks to play with tempo, pitch, volume, and multiple layering and invites you to come on this journey, let your ears, your minds and bodies be hemmed OUT…just for a moment.

For those interested: the mix was recorded in one-take, at 2am when very tired…a conscious stream with no more planning than putting a bag/folder together containing the sound pallets I wanted to maybe include.  Playing off 2 x CDJ2000NXS (linked) with 1 x Technics mk2, all linked into a Mastersounds Radius Valve DJ mixer.

An icy wave of distortion. Gristle and bone bass. Incantatory, bloodcurdling poetics. Anna Funk Damage returns to Osare! Editions with a full-length LP, laying down 13 occultist tracks, turbocharged by industrialism, dissolution and heartbreak. The Italian producer more than lives up to his namesake, delivering his signature, genre-destroying blend of experimental-punk-techno and steely dance floor deviance.

Opening with a howl, clatter and smash, on 'Sono Spento’, Andrea Natale takes the shape of a self-annihilating robot, his heavily pitched-down vocals laden in layers of FX. ‘Maybe I’ whirls into a slow build screech while 'Allegri Rimpianti’ joins together organic, pummelling percussion, sharp synth chords, and jangly guitar for a nightmarish trifecta of throbbing noise. Occasionally, Natale's presence falls away entirely, allowing for unadulterated machinic ecstasy to take over. Cogs grind on 'Memoria, Solitudine’, a dark and lolloping track, thrumming with sinister, malicious intent, before 'La Fine’ signs off, lurching skittishly like an anxious, artificially pumping heart.

Interweaving elements of avant-garde ambient, rock, and even black metal, all rewired through a Moog DFAM and a Mother-32 interface, II Corpo Che Si Rompe is powered by unrelenting energy as Natale descends to ever more demonic, punishing depths.

Duo Lucas Brell and Marvin Uhde deliver six fire-powered percussion tracks to Osàre! Editions. Longtime friends and collaborators, the pair channel a liquid medley of drum menace that flips sideways, swiftly pivoting between 85 and 170 bpm. As disorientating as it is formidable, “Purest State Confusion” offers up a fractal prism of ever-shifting beat patterns – an endlessly warping vortex, where the continuum of jungle and drum and bass fuses with a guttural, tribalist sound.

The titular number, a wormhole techno ordeal, builds steadily, layer upon layer. A crystalline dancefloor pleaser, it subverts classic four-to-the-floor with a delayed kick drum that punctuates every 8th beat. Like black oil diffusing in water, the bass creeps in menacingly to 'The Disappearer', in hard and fast contrast with the sharp fluctuations of the amen break. 

Slamming in mercilessly, 'Channelling Bryn Jones' opens up the B-side, its fluttering rhythms joining together with an infectious klaxon melody before the IDM-stylings of ‘Brain Massage' closes out. Purest State of Confusion was recorded at various locations in Leipzig and Berlin, including at the shed-turned-studio, owned by the bass-focused record label Fast Castle. 

Final touches and mixing assistance were performed by Mike Bierbach AKA rødhåd at the WSNWG studios. The pioneering techno producer inflects the record with his staunch taste for aerobic club rhythmics, teasing out the whirling tempos and pointillistic harmonics.

Elena Colombi shares an extraordinarily curious mix in the Red Light Radio x Sonos Liner Notes series. The musical style of the DJ and NTS radio host taps into a wide array of influences and inspirations.

Elena’s ability to conjure up a distinctive mood with her selection is remarkable. ‘Warm and pretty, but they shade the tender melodies and hints of violence and loss’, write Pitchfork on one of the tracks used in her podcast. In a way, this applies to her complete set - a moving excursion in which divergent moods unite.
