In response to the global crisis currently affecting all of us, we profile the resident DJs from some of our favourite clubs around the world.

In Profile: Residents from our favourite clubs

@anastasiakristensen has been offering a new definition of techno for the last five years. When she plays, she plays from the heart, with unbridled energy and a rare sense of colour. She can bang out brutal beats then pivot in an instant to hi-NRG synth riffs. She'll mash up old school breaks and bleeps then rave to the future on a wave of electro. Her productions are just as impactful on labels like Houndstooth and Arcola. Yet despite the seriousness of her skills and the intensity of her sounds, she always plays with a smile. 

The Danish DJ pulls no punches on this week's mix. It seems to encapsulate her every side - peak time festival rave as well as more nuanced back room selections. What unites it all are the drums, which can always be felt as much as they can be heard. Sometimes they bounce under a sparse synth line. Midway through they are raw, flat-footed, unrelenting. Towards the end, they unravel into a flurry of jungle breakbeats. It's not easy to play such high-energy music but keep things dynamic, yet Anastasia does it with style.

Steffi   @steffi_official
オランダに生まれたSteffiは、現代の電子音楽における重要人物だ。Panorama Barのレジデントとして、また尊敬されるプロデューサー兼レーベルオーナーとして、彼女の作品は様々な形でエレクトロニックカルチャーを取り入れている。
長年に渡りアンダーグラウンドなパーティをプロモートし、2つのレコードレーベル(KlaksonとDolly、またそのサブレーベルであるDolly DubsやDolly Deluxe)を運営してきた経験から、SteffiはDJとレーベルオーナーとしての自然とプロフェッショナルなバランスを確立していった。クラシカルなものと未来的な異なるアプローチにより、彼女のサウンドは特異なものへと達している。
2007年にベルリンへ移住して以来、Steffiのディスコグラフィーは増え続けており、Tama SumoのPanorama Bar 02 mixに”24 Hours”を、それに続くProsumerの03に”Sadness”が収録されると、彼女とOstgut Tonとの関係はより強固になっていく。
2010年にはUSのUnderground Quality から”Reasons” EP がリリース、そして2011年にOstgut Tonからデビューアルバム “Yours & Mine”がリリースされる。彼女のポジティブなサウンドは、2012年の “Schraper” EPでより印象的なものとなり、同時に彼女の才能を知らしめることにもなったのである。クラシックなハウスとモダンなテクノの間を漂うような低音が強調されたトラックメイキングが特徴だ。
またRedshapeとの共作や、The Analogue Copsとしても知られるLucretio、MarieuとのユニットThird SideとしてもRestoration Records から Unified Fields LP リリース、ライブジャムのダイナミクスを探求した。
Panorama Bar のレジデントとして、Steffi は 2013 年に Panorama Bar 05 Mix CDをエディット、ミキシングし、また2014年にはセカンドアルバム”Power Of Anonymity”をOstgut Tonよりリリース、その後もFabricのミックスシリーズやMartynやVirginiaとの共作等、数々の制作をこなす。その傍ら、世界各地のクラブ、フェスティバルへ出演し、膨大なコレクションから繰り出されるDJセットではジャンルやムードを完璧なまでにブレンドし物語を創出、ライブショーを含む慎重にキュレートされたツアースケジュールにおいて、彼女の作品はあらゆるパフォーマンスで輝いている。彼女のDJ活動や制作、レーベルワーク等は現代の電子音楽の文化を称える彼女の深い情熱を反映しているのだ。

(English)
Steffi does not do things by halves, and this unwavering commitment to growing and challenging herself as a producer, DJ and label head has kept her at the forefront of contemporary dance music since the mid 90s. Born in the Netherlands, a move to Berlin led to an enduring residency at the city’s emblematic Berghain/Panoramabar, an experience that has translated effortlessly to the international clubs and festivals – big and small – at which she has long been a staple. As a producer, Steffi has an extensive discography that takes in albums, singles and remixes – solo and
in collaboration – released by respected labels including Ostgut Ton, 3024, Dark Entries, Ed Banger and Because Music. Steffi’s long-running labels Klakson and Dolly continue to release a distinct blend of electro, breaks, Chicago and Detroit house and techno to this day. In recent years, Steffi’s
tireless search for new ground has been made tangible in a permanent move to Portugal where,with Virginia, she founded the label, studio space and creative hub Candy Mountain.

Interview :

ーDJ MIXはどこで録音したのですか？

Candy Mountain(Steffi/Virginiaが運営するレーベル・スタジオ・クリエイティブハブ)で収録しました。

ーDJ MIXのコンセプトについて教えてください。

いつもDJ MIXを作るときはダンスフロアと関係ないものを作って、普段のセットと違って日の目を見ないトラックを入れるようにしています。今回はアップテンポのテクノっぽいミックスを作ろうと思って、久しぶりにやってみたんですが、気分転換になったのでよかったです。素晴らしい新譜や古い曲をミックスしました。

ー今後の活動についてお聞かせください。

今は、先週月曜日に発売された新しいアルバム「The Red Hunter」のプロモーションのために、新しいライブツアーを行っているところです。1月は少し休んで、新しいプロジェクトのために完全に休んで戻ってくる予定です。<Candy Mountain>はレーベルであり、スタジオスペースであり、クリエイティブハブでもあります。スタジオは自然の中にあり、アーティストは同じ屋根の下、静かな環境の中で気晴らしをしながら仕事をすることができます。ここポルトガルのローカルなシーンとつながりながら仕事をするのに最適なスペースです。2023年にもっと多くの人を受け入れて、クリエイティブな雰囲気を盛り上げていけるように微調整しているところです。

REC 013 w/ Anthony Rother

The REC series compiles outstanding performances recorded in the club throughout the year, highlighting artists representing our love for electronic music.

Anthony Rother enters our REC series at Fuse. At the vanguard of the electro scene, few artists like Rother can boast a 20-plus years career in such a prolific way. And one thing's for sure, this rich heritage seeps through this two-hour hybrid mix, recorded within the hallowed walls of our beloved Room 01.

With Rother's formula, you're in for alluring, overcast electro rhythms and ethereal melodies that weave together ideally for a buzzing club night. In the hands of his creative force, the intermittent appearances of computerized's effects-laden vocal manipulations never felt so well. It's close-knit, cohesive, and yet so surprising. What more could you really ask for?

Daniel Avery - Junction 2

@anthony-rother is a stone cold electronic music legend. He’s put out 20 albums since his debut in 1997, and run the Psi49net and Datapunk imprints, which have more or less defined the electro genre. Lately, he’s been back with a vengeance, releasing the “3L3C7RO COMMANDO” LP on his own label, as well as EPs for DVS1’s Mistress Recordings and of course Danny Daze’s Omnidisc. His DJ sets these days are comprised of his own unreleased music specifically tailored for dancefloors. Rother is a dream booking for The Bunker who we still kind of can’t believe is coming to play our collaborative party with Omnidisc on November 1 (more details at http://bit.ly/omnibunker ).

At the end of the week, when the rest of Singapore is starting to wind down, the island’s local community of electronic music fans head to Boat Quay. Their meeting point is Headquarters, an intimate techno haven with stunning riverside views. Plenty of big names have stopped by to play here, but the key crew defining the club’s core sound are the residents at its in-house night, Council.

Headquarters founder and resident Cats On Crack dropped a high-intensity techno set for us to represent the sound of the club.

宀 is a Chinese radical that roughly translates as “shelter”, which speaks to this team’s underlying vision. The recently-opened Hong Kong venue prides itself on being a safe space, where the promotion of freedom and self-expression has nurtured a diverse community of music lovers. The room boasts superb acoustics and a Funktion-One system, and it only holds about 100 people at a push. But if you do make it inside, you’re always sure to find exceptionally skilled locals spinning to a loving crowd of dancers.

Misty Penguin sent us a rowdy two-hour mix of techno, electro and rave stormers to represent 宀 Club.

With two Boiler Rooms already under her belt and an increasingly frequent face on underground lineups, @gigi-fm had a colourful experience of music culture before settling in South London. Hailing originally from Paris, her dance background and knowledge of rhythm transferred neatly into her selections. This responsiveness to sound became the groundwork for her style, which has since evolved into an approach that keeps close conversation with the crowd.

For our next DETECT, we present her intuitive UNSTREAM set from back in September. Dive in.

DETECT [023] - GiGi FM

Tokyo is famous for its audiophile-friendly listening bars, but the city’s thriving music scene also owes a lot to a cluster of world-class nightclubs. One of the best-loved is Contact, a house and techno haven hidden within a Shibuya car park. Many of the most revered selectors on the planet regularly stop by here; Fumiya Tanaka is practically part of the family, and plenty more fly in from Europe, USA and beyond. And like at those listening cafes that placed Tokyo’s scene on the map, every guest arrives ready to settle in for an absorbing listening experience.

Contact Tokyo’s In Profile mix for us comes from Mars89, who’s become one of the venue’s most trusted locals over the last few years. Recorded live at the venue over the summer, the session sees him unleashing a raucous, adrenaline-fuelled techno sound that feels like it was tailored for clubbing in 2020.

Trust us: once the world starts to return to normal, you need to add Ljubljana to your list of party destinations. The main reason for this is to check Klub K4, a beloved gem that’s been the bedrock of Slovenia’s underground scene for the last three decades. The booking policy heavily focusses on local talent from selectors and live acts through to VJs, though with up to 150 events running through the year, they still find space for the odd Sugar Free or Truly Madly. Dedicated house artists like this shine at K4, but you could just as easily hear electro, techno, drum & bass, UKG or hip-hop depending on the night and room you stumble into. As for the crowd, ask the countless artists who describe the energy inside as unlike anywhere else in the world. 

Klub K4 programmer and resident DJ Nitz stepped in for his home club with a mix of ghostly electro and IDM cuts, the kind of thing you might expect to hear early morning inside the Ljubljana institution.

Melbourne is known as the electronic music hub of Australia. One place that’s been central to the scene’s growth over the years is Revolver Upstairs, a Thai restaurant and bar that turns into a party with live bands and DJs playing after dark. The nights run late, and they often feature big hitters from abroad, but it’s the trusted residents and their loyal fanbase that give Revolver Upstairs its tight-knit community vibe. 

Revolver Upstairs staple Henry Who put together a mix to showcase the sound of the venue, laying down a stack of smoky, late-night house cuts that left us yearning for the dancefloor.

WOMB opened a few months after we did at the turn of the millennium, and since then we’ve shared a special bond based on likeminded principles. Crucially, the Tokyo institution is known for its mind-blowing sound system, which is described by even the most seasoned artists as one of the world’s best. But just as importantly, WOMB wouldn’t have hit 20 years without its dedicated team of music lovers, who work around the clock to showcase high-calibre electronic music to Tokyo up to seven nights a week.

DJ Sodeyama delivers WOMB’s In Profile mix for us, exploring the kind of kinetic techno he’s used to bringing to the Tokyo club’s dancefloor.
