Benedikt Frey - Troubled Funk MixX #1

Continuing the series we have a very special mix from an exciting new artist called Faery to share.  Hailing originally from Bristol and recently relocating to London, Faery has been building a strong fan base with her deeply psychedelic and hypnotic DJ sets.  Infusing Dozzy/Tozzi esq left-field techno, psy trance, fractured soundscapes and dark forest trips, Faery cleverly presents a fresh, contemporary and otherworldy take on trance inducing electronica.

GuduMix 028: Bell Towers

Confortable, le physique peut s'éteindre.
Se préparer à la rêverie.
Le cerveau ne connait jamais de vrai repos.
Se laisser guider.
Saturation et clairvoyance s'alterne.
Douceur.

Comfortable, the body can switch off.
Prepare to daydream.
The brain never really rests.
Let yourself be guided.
Saturation and clairvoyance alternate.
Softness.

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

Next up in our mix series is Wave Arising aka 69db aka Sebastian Vaughan, a pioneering live electronic artist and longtime member of legendary collectives spanning all the way back to the 90s, such as Spiral Tribe, SP23, R-Zac, Stormcore and Network 23 Recordings. Alongside dancer Kynsie, he fuses weightless techno with spiritual and ritualistic elements for the Wave Arising project, creating a new frequency of rave culture through sound and movement. With roots in dub, hip house, acid house, and Detroit techno - and as a co-creator of the hard-Tek/tribe genre—his drummer's foundation keeps his music deeply rhythm-driven, as heard in last year’s release ‘The Rooted Sky’.

In this mix, Sebastian delivers a 90-minute live set that showcases his signature improvisational approach. He experiments with shifting rhythms and layered textures, steadily evolving the energy with a sense of patience and intent. It is as hypnotic as it is groovy - shifting from minimal, polyrhythmic pulses to fuller, weightless grooves.

ALL NIGHT LONG @ GALLERY1986, 2025

Nostalgia to Berlin of 20 years ago: Rumors and stories tell that Schlesische Strasse, a street next to the Spree, used to be full of squatted buildings, transformed into dancefloors where you did not have to pay to see known and unknown artists live playing. And after having shared a dance, the typical misty morning walk back home, bit blurry in the head but filled with memories and experiences.

Benedikt Frey is many. Or just one? He is a composer. An arranger. A DJ. A Liveact. A ghost producer. A fan. He also plays in bands like INIT, or Dolphins or KEYS +++ produced the last two albums for Chris Imler. Downbeat in experimental dub zones. The goat for Edits and remixes. When house was his nation, he used to listen to pen names like Suedmilch or Venedikt Reyf. He still likes the music formed under their umbrella, but today his tomorrow is not echoed in yesterday. His sound signature moved on. Into the open. He founded labels like R.i.O. or Serious Trouble. 

He lives in Berlin. Physically. In mind Benedikt Frey is at many places. Traveling far thru his home studio that is a flat a studio a flat an instrument a record collection a flat a studio. Everywhere gear, vinyl, tapes, instruments, rooms for spontaneous sonic notions, these moments, when a sudden strike of stimulation falls. He is inspired a lot. For music to dance. Music for films. Music for live shows. Music for dancing glows. Techno, house, downbeat, ambient, jungle, electronics outside the norms. Those transportive ones. Jamming with others. Jamming with his mind. In Berlin Wedding, North of the town, where the lights dimmed low, neighbors share the flow, and a small river runs slow.  As a DJ he plays here, there, everywhere. Big clubs, small shacks, festivals, gatherings. From fast to 90 BPM - as he feels. 

For himself. For the crowd. In the spur. He still remembers his club kid days. Going to dance with friends. Down there in Offenbach. Doing the Robert Johnson. Collective emotions for a better tomorrow. These he still seeks. In his music. His shows. His collaborations. You can book him for a party. For enlightenment. For ecstasy or introspective perspectives. Dancing slow, whilst pirouetting a high-pitched show. 

Since more than a decade. His own music is out there, too. Bringing his spirits in sound. On his own labels. On international imprints like ESP Institute, Hivern Discs, Craigie Knowes, or Emotional Response. Solo works. Driving ones. Slow drills. Teased during his DJ dates around the planet. 

The music plays day and night. Inspiration comes. From a simple kick drum. A movie sequence. A bird on the sill. A picture, totally still. Can’t kick that feeling when it hits. Benedikt Frey. In dreams. In streams. In music. Emotions. Situations. At night. In those flashy lights, when it bites.
