LDS - HATE Podcast 340

Hey everyone,

I would like to share with you my project for this year. I’m pitching a subscription program that will take you on a year long journey into my real-time music production. The project will be explored together with my audience as we travel along through the vast and complex outer space of music....
Having the experience of being a label owner and organizing parties, collaborating and being with the crowd, I have always tried to incorporate an awareness of the music industry‘s mechanisms. After more than a decade of working with vinyl (producing, selling, collecting, gifting, swapping, and losing), I want to deviate from the sluggish times of the last years and rethink my approach to music distribution. To achieve this I will use the Bandcamp Subscription Service.....
After signing up, subscribers will receive a track every Thursday throughout the whole year of 2023. You’ll receive 52 tracks for 52€. At the end of each month, non-subscribers will be able to buy the monthly digital EPs for 2€ per track. For those who fear commitment of any kind, single tracks can be purchased for 3€....
Dividing the year into 4 seasons, every quarter‘s content will be presented in a continuous mix made by affiliated artists and friends. The fast rhythm of the output is an integral part oft the framework because it encourages more playfulness, spontaneity, and surprise. I’ll experiment with making versions of tracks by expanding the duration, multiplying, and reconfiguring the order of my material. Appropriated, sampled, and recorded fragments will reappear to disturb the semantics of a conventional album, releasing different meanings after each slightly shifted repetition. Thus interrelations between the output can stretch over a year‘s time, poking at sonic memory and rigid listening behavior. The habitual 30 minutes attention span a vinyl EP requires is given way to explore limitless digital possibilities. Even though I see great value in the compact physical object of a record, such benefits as the distribution process, pricing, and overall autonomy overrule that fetish in this new strategy. I will continue to produce vinyl, but for this project, I´d like to subvert the industry‘s superstructures (which tend to exploit the artists´ share) and strive for my own sales autonomy even more. You will be able to communicate with me on a surface level but also unconsciously via your digital trace. Streaming and purchase behavior, likes, and critiques will be met quicker and more intuitively.....

I look forward to sending out my music to your Bandcamp inbox every week, so please subscribe and meet me on this psychedelic journey that will hopefully blow your mind.

TM8 Q: Silliest trend in dance music?

A: "pop music edits"

Following her Technomate debut in July, we’re delighted to have @denandensidecph resident Neri J feature on our podcast series this week. Born in Lithuania and based in Copenhagen, the co-founder of the @vortexcph event series has played across the Danish capital and beyond into Berlin, Nantes, Shanghai, Chengdu, Tbilisi and several more clubs and spaces across the globe. She’s also a resident of the collective, label and party @bunkerbauer. As a DJ, Neri J’s sound is a tasteful blend of techno, acid and trance, culminating in a dynamic and immersive trip that tickles all of the senses, as displayed on her driving mix for us.

Neri J | TM8 #50

One of Copenhagen’s finest, Vixen (she/her) perfectly encapsulates the visceral energy running through the Danish electronic scene. As a member of DIY rave collective Fast Forward and resident of Bedside’s kinky party series, she has been enchanting dancefloors near and far with a playful vibrant touch.

"For this one I dipped in my golden vinyl finds to put together a mix with an euphoric old school rave sound. It’s a perfect balance between old and new although not immediately distinguishable - the mark of a timeless signature."

As the next guest on the Fast Forward Audio Series, we are excited to present: Mac Declos

Enrolled into the groove with a blues guitarist father and a singer/dancer mother, Mac bathes in the musical cosmos very young, dipped in a home of rhythm and choreography. He graduated in dance and pursued contemporary dance at the Centre Chorégraphique National of Roubaix. The versatile virtuoso also proved himself in hip hop dance battle but soon discovered the holy platines to practice his waltz. From hip hop to house music, there is one, two step : a controller has been bought, Mac Declos is born.

Eclectic, with an unpredictable hypersonic sound, intense yet precise, Mac Declos swings furiously between body and mental, hits high-paced without losing any groove: projected into a frenetic race, we are all invited to lose control during Mac’s kicky-bouncy techno sets.
Recently, Mac Declos dropped « Cuir en cage », his first 5-tracks EP on Myst. He also released his first 10-track LP on Mama Told Ya MTY-007 «Hard work always pays off».

About the mix:
"I recorded this podcast before New Year's Eve with a focus on exploring various genres, as I often do. The aim was to create a one-hour journey that reminds me of my last gigs or club experiences. Savor the journey."

Enjoy! 👽

However, it is the track »Gunung Padang« from his latest EP that has truly propelled him to the forefront of the scene. With his just released single, »Don't Stop (Gimme More),« he continues to captivate the attention of leading artists and dominate dance floors worldwide.

In addition to being an integral part of TILT, ENNIO holds a residency at the popular queer event series Kinky Sundays, based at Hamburg's acclaimed PAL. 

About the mix: “Improvised, in solitude at home, pushing buttons. Some unreleased, some released things. Overall, I'm just exploring my sexuality here and hoping for a Capri Sun sponsorship!”  

Enjoy! :)

Next event: Mar23, 2024 @ Den Anden Side
https://ra.co/events/1861193

Fast Forward Productions was formed in December 2015 as a new take on DIY rave culture. All events are built from the ground up, focusing on our local scene and on collaborating with like-minded crews and concepts from abroad.
With a focus on social engagement, and by using activists from the local community to help make the events come to life, Fast Forward actively focus on creating safer spaces at the venues we use. Sexism, racism, homophobia and transphobia are not tolerated.

After the first year of activities, numerous collabs and the establishment of close relationships with like-minded crews all over Europe, we decided to establish ourselves as an agency working with some of the scene´s core members - both DJs and live acts. In doing this we work both as a traditional agency and as a promotional platform for each artist’s creative output.
