Quadrant Soundscape presents In Focus 008

The 8th instalment of our In:Focus Series goes back to where it all began. The Originators, the start of the sound we all love - Its Mark & Moritz, it's Basic Channel. 

There’s not a lot we can write that hasn’t already been written about this legendary duo and record label. Its quite hard to fathom how much innovation and quality came out of Berlin in such a small space of time, but over the course of 2/3 years Mark and Moritz invented a genre and wrote there names into the history books.   

What we have presented here isn’t a complete body of their work but it covers the majority of their output , with most of the ‘Big Hitters’ featured. We Chose to focus specifically on the releases as Basic Channel / Cyrus / Quadrant, however there is much more to explore, with their output as Maurizio, Rhythm&Sound, Round One - Five. 

Many have tried imitating, none have succeeded. This is Basic Channel

In Focus 008 - Basic Channel

#008

Artist: Anthony Georges Patrice [Ausblick / Lempuyang / Refraction Rec / Ohm Series]

Our 8th journey of the Frontier series is captained by Mr AGP aka Anthony Georges Patrice. AGP is the brains behind the expertly curated Ausblick Label and the founder of the Lessenorg Radio show and Podcast. He is also an underground hero of the Berlin scene playing regularly at clubs like Golden Gate and Club Der Visionare. 

As a producer his sound is all about rhythm and texture with a dubby swing to it, theres usually a nod towards minimalism. His Redrop alias tends to lean more towards this stripped back sound.   

As a Dj he can be found floating between all things house, Deep and Dub but never pinned down to one sound, he has a vast musical knowledge and isn’t afraid to showcase it.

The Frontier 008 - AGP

FX-driven Jamaican soundsystems meeting the machines of techno with an abstract sound and loosely repetitive rhythms stucture, along with some usage of low end sonics - that's what dub techno is about. This music is a sonic experience far beyond the narrow pathways of techno, demonstrating that there is a universal code which connects repetitive patterns of organic sounds with club music. With a string of mind-altering atmospheres & warped basses and punchy beats to the fore, this mix is akin to an hallucinatory trip through the farthest reaches of psychedelic electronic music. Perfect for those zoned-out, low-lit basement moments at 5 am.

The Quadrasphere 009 - Hart Thorson

Bay Area-based DJ/Producer Hart Thorson came up DJing in the venerable Midwest electronic
music scene. Having played every genre imaginable, he’s curated a unique sound and style.
His love of all things deep, emotive, and dancefloor-focused shines through with his groovy, raw,
and crunchy style of dub techno.

To date, Hart has released music on his own Hannya Musique imprint along with labels such as
KMS Records, Lucidflow, and more to come in the future. You can interact with Hart at the
following locations:
Hannya Musique: https://hannyamusique.bandcamp.com/music
Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/hart-thorson
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hartthorson/

Here are a few words from Hart:

"Before I fell in love with deeper, dubby music, I crafted a sound characterized by
driving rhythms, powerful drums, and distorted melodies. Never satisfied with the typical pretty
and fluffy trance music popular among many artists, I blended the best elements of darker
melodies, hard-hitting techno grooves, and occasional Latin influences.
In my early days as a DJ, I developed a unique sound that was distinctive for its time. I
combined rolling techno basslines with epic melodies, creating a signature aggressive trance
style. Although there were many moments that inspired “hands in the air” reactions, these were
balanced by a strong foundation of crunchy rhythms and powerful drums.
This mix captures what made my early days as a trance DJ special. It’s high-energy,
sweat-inducing, dark, and epic. Things get heavier and heavier the deeper you venture into this
one. It should be played at full volume for your neighbors to enjoy."

Second culture shock

-----------------------------------

Culture shock, future shock
Fuck yourself, choke yourself
Useless information occupies every open space inside your skull
You know whats going on every day every night
Everywhere swear you're so international
Upside down cross on the Jumbotron
Wait up, hold on
Blowing anthrax off my palms
Say what, you're wrong
Switch stance, face plant
Napalm fire starters
Flatlander, plug puller
Nose dive turbulence chartered
You speak in abbreviations because real life conversation moves too slow
You're the media's creation, yeah your free will has been taken and you don't know
Choke yourself, fuck yourself
