After some small hiccups, we're back up and running with our podcast series. For 042 we turn to Norway for talented producer MRD. Over the years he has released great music through his own bandcamp channel, resulting in some attention by various labels. He has contributed to a V/A on Ismus and more recently, he released his first solo EP on A R T S. For our podcast series, he delivered 45 minutes of live bangers, made with his modular synth setup.

MRD [live] | Artaphine Series 042

Spanish powerhouse Anabel Arroyo has taken London by storm. Making her name at Crow Techno Club Madrid she plays passionate, explosive sets that make a clear connection with the crowd. With her first production out on Emphatic Records and her blazing sets across London, she has steadfastly become a favourite. We are thrilled to introduce her as our newest resident and welcome her to the FOLD family.  Accompanying this charged mix we asked Anabel some questions about her background and life in London.


What made you want to move to the UK?

I’d heard many good things about the techno scene here in London and always had the curiosity. Also, of course, to learn the language, which is in progress. Finally, a year and a half ago I bought a flight with no return ticket, thinking maybe it was going to be a few months. The underground scene and the people I met here made me want to stay.


What has been your favourite set at FOLD and why?

This is a difficult choice. Anytime I go to FOLD I literally leave saying that was the best time. It’s not just about the music, the atmosphere, the people who work at FOLD, all the friends enjoying music together and feeling free. It keeps getting better and better. I would say Karenn at UNFOLD was very surprising for me as it was the first time I saw them together in action. On the other hand my best times there were definitely all of the times Lasha (Voicedrone) and James Newmarch closed UNFOLD. That energy and love they spread on the dance floor is something else. Also the first time I saw Ben (7xins) playing at an extended party was so astounding, his lives are amazing.


Tell us about standout moments in your career?

I would say the first one was when I got to play at Industrial Copera in Granada. I was studying and living in that city and it was when I started playing around 6 years ago and when I really got to know techno music, as unfortunately until then it was something almost unknown in my close circle in Sevilla. Maybe that’s - why when I discovered it - the first feeling was so strong, so many years to catch up with. 

Another very thrilling moment for me was when I was first invited to play at UNFOLD. The emotion was real.


What would be your recommendations to anyone getting started?

If you really love it, keeping on working on it is the best recommendation. Doing it with love and because you feel it, not expecting anything else. Also don’t rush - I think it’s better when everything flows, everything will come at the right moment.


How did you find playing UNFOLD? 

UNFOLD is by far my favourite part.. It’s difficult to express with words what I feel there. UNFOLD is without doubt the party where I enjoy playing the most. The first time I played at FOLD was so special, with all my friends around me and the energy was just wow. But the second one was my favourite - the love and connection that I felt with that crowd was something else. I remember that time I was focused on the decks and not looking around, and then in the middle of the set I stopped for a minute and looked around. I remember I was playing ‘Ferdinger - St. Nimmerlein’. Usually I like to add these ‘transitional’ tracks which gives the crowd a moment to breathe and regain energy for what’s ahead. At this moment I could feel myself getting goosebumps all over. It was like a dream, the red and white lights were beautiful, everyone was dancing synchronized, I could almost touch the energy with my hands... I will never forget that moment.


How did you find and get to know the community around UNFOLD?

One day after HTBX London, another amazing party I love, we went to an afterparty and the FOLD crew were there. I didn’t know them personally at that point, but they were playing a few tracks each and I had a USB stick with me. My friend Paula insisted that I ask to play, but I didn’t and so she asked. I would say that is when everything started.

Grauzone Podcast 008 - Absorption

Der gebürtige Tübinger ist mittlerweile seit über 12 Jahren als DJ unterwegs und hat dabei schon zahlreiche Gigs in verschiedensten Clubs gespielt. Neben einer früheren Residency in Tübingen, konnte man seinen Namen zuletzt häufig auf dem Line-Up des Lehmann finden.
Seinen Sound legt er dabei nicht konkret fest, da für ihn alle Subgenre und Sound Richtungen einen gewissen Reiz bieten. 

Viel Spaß bei den nächsten 70 Minuten.

NEWS RELEASE
for immediate release
Artist:
Auspex
Title:
The Lesser Key Of Solomon EP
Label:
Oath
Release:
17th December 2020
Cat. No.:
OATH002
Format:
Digital
Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Auspex follows up his debut EP release on his very own label Oath with eight intense techno/industrial tracks entitled “The Lesser Key Of Solomon” EP. Since the debut EP on Oath same time last year, the world has changed in unimaginable ways. Coming off of his label launch and the debut of his residency party ALTÆR at Brooklyn’s newest techno nightclub, Basement, nightlife was plunged into a holding pattern of uncertainty at the start of the year.
During this time, Auspex immersed himself in studio work, churning out release after release, peak-time
techno music infused with the paranoia and complexity of these modern times, with releases on techno labels like Måinmise, Insane Industry and Ōtomo.
The EP is loosely defined but not restrained by its concept: Utilizing field recordings collected across a range of urban explorations during NYC’s isolating quarantine lockdown period—from the shadowycorridors of an abandoned NYC asylum-turned-boarding-school to the crumbling hallways of plague hospitals and desolate dormitories of war veterans. Upon his return to the studio, Auspex used this collection of sounds—the crunch of glass and gravel underfoot, high pitched electric hums, hits and impacts, whispers and ambiences—to breath life into “The Lesser Key Of Solomon.” Some of NYC's most forbidden spaces and places became sound factories with these time-stained ambiences, impacts
and atmospheres lending themselves to each track in different ways, infusing each in some way with their character and history while still merging with futuristic techno-leaning dance floor soundscapes.
The EP kicks off with the title track “The Lesser Key Of Solomon,” sweeping and solemn synths swirling up from the ether around militant, defiant drums. “Ars Goetia” follows with a seething energy mingling
with bleeping sine waves before “Ars Theurgia-Goetia” roars to life with thunderous drums, a sinister synth dirge and a colorful, kaleidoscopic breakdown. The first half of the EP resolves with the hypnotic
and arpeggiating “Ars Paulina,” laced with ASMR-like whispering and conjurations. “Ars Almadel” is ripe with colorful phantom atmospheres and delays anchored by funky bass, before giving way to the industrial ripper “Ars Notoria.” “The General Curse” is the grounded by intricate rhythms, punctuated with spectral stabs, all building up to the EP’s closing “The License To Depart,” equal parts stomping
and jubilant, a fitting coda.
“The Lesser Key Of Solomon” EP drops on Oath on the 17th of December, 2020.
