DECENNIUM27 - Second Storey (Natural Selection, Frustrated Funk)

For the 27th edition of our DECENNIUM series we bring you this exclusive DJ set from Natural Selection resident @second_storey. 

One of the greatest things about 2020 for us was bringing Second Storey (Alec) into the Natural Selection family. Born and bred in UK, now based in Berlin, Alec has been at the forefront of the underground Electronic Music scene for well over a decade and releasing on mammoth labels such as Frustrated Funk, TRUST and Aus Music is fully testament to that. A professional drummer with a lifelong passion for music and a love of experimenting with new sounds, Alec isn’t constrained by boundaries, which is one of the reasons why he has slotted in perfectly with our musical ethos. His roots in bass-heavy Techno and Electro pulse throughout his tracks, whilst he meticulously cares for the defining quality to his craft; Funk. Alec's tracks regularly feature in sets / mixes from an extensive list of heavyweight artists, most notably in recent times, the legendary Autechre. 

Alec has DJ'd and played live all over the UK and Europe. His debut set for Natural Selection as part of our collaboration with Delsin Records, was sadly postponed due to the pandemic, however we were ecstatic to finally have Alec cement his residency at our live stream at FOLD in August last year, playing alongside Ansome, Sigha and fellow residents Kodah, Voicedrone and SWARMM. Keep your ears to the ground for the new date for our Delsin collaboration in which Alec forms part of one of our most lethal lineups to date.

To have such an esteemed artist with us on the Natural Selection frontline is an absolute honour and we are proud to be able to present to you his exquisitely crafted DECENNIUM mix.

Second Storey - FOLD X Natural Selection Mix

We are extremely pleased to introduce today's guest, who definitely needs no introduction.

Depending on how your mind is fixed, you may process Second Storey's unique brand of electronic music as a physical, energetic kind of rave music, or you could find yourself postulating on the dense intricacies that his sonic life-forms contain. Such is the dualistic nature of the Berlin based producer. Second Storey, the life’s work of Alec Storey, was born out of the vibrant free-party scene of Norfolk (also the launch pad for the infamous Bloc Weekender), and those roots in bass-heavy techno reverberate throughout his tracks, but this isn’t simple soundsystem fodder. If there was one defining quality to Al’s craft, it would be funk; the kind of crazed, psychedelic, booty-shaking gospel as laid down by Parliament in the ‘70s. The same sound that re-manifested itself throughout the decades as the electro backbone of early hiphop in the ‘80s, the aquatic machinations of Drexciya in the ‘90s, and even on to the omni-limbed freakouts of Autechre et al. Al represents the next logical distillation of these principles, speaking his own dialect of hip-wiggling astral transcendence parallel with the contemporary bass music landscape in the dubstep aftermath, but never quite adhering to it.
The musical make-up of Second Storey, his collaborations with Appleblim, and the numerous projects fore and aft, continue to feed into a thrillingly singular body of work. Much like the energy that crackles around the man-machine when in a fit of drum pad bashing on stage, the alien transmissions that beam out of him are an irrepressible beast, boasting the kilojoules to land in all sorts of unpredictable places.

 Which artists has influenced you the most?

- Drexciya, Cristian Vogel, Ed Rush & Optical, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Prince.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- There’s a new EP coming out on Ara-U’s label  “No Static Automatic’ later this year. I’ve also got some new collaborative projects on the way, alongside a bunch of solo stuff I’m in the final stages of finishing. 

What inspires you now to create music?

- Fear of Berlin crows at dawn.

What set-up do you use when creating music?

- I use a Laptop, Ableton Push, Elektron Syntakt, Elektron Machine Drum and Roland SPD-SX.

In the first week of September we’re heading to the beautiful scenery of Tisno, Croatia, to celebrate the first edition of Dekmantel Selectors. In the run up to the festival, we’ve launched a new temporary podcast-series where we invite ten of our selectors from the festival to dig deep in their unique collections. The idea behind the mix is to create a Time Document, focusing on a specific period of time with the artist being free in choosing this period. This period could in fact entail anything: a certain decennia, the time he or she fell in love, The Cold War, November ’92 – March ’93, or the rise of Nigerian music. It’s up to the Selectors to choose and tell us a story based on their music collection.

What has been a beautiful ride through many record bags, now comes to an end with the final Selectors Podcast by Manchester-based Andrew Lyster. The NTS-radio host provided us with a finger licking good mix, touching on many electronic gems that have a special connection to him.  "I wanted to stay true to the theme of the mix series, hopefully offering something different to the other selectors whilst also presenting something that’s true to myself."

Lyster is known as the co-founder and designer of the meandyou collective. Over the past years, Lyster has established himself as a DJ in his own right, through hosting the collective's monthly radio show with a string of world class guests and making regular DJ-appearances everywhere. "This corner of my record collection really excites me, so much interesting stuff was happening at this time, many of these tracks are what I’d now consider to be classics of that time. Quite a few older Manchester related things in here too, which are some of my personal favourites. For me this mix was more about recording a segment of my collection as opposed to a proper DJ mix. A lot of this stuff I picked up in the basement of Vinyl Exchange in Manchester; this era and that shop feel very connected to me."

Selectors Podcast 010 - Andrew Lyster

Hailing from Bristol and now based in Berlin, Second Storey is a musical chameleon, capable of melting electronic music components down to their raw stuff and building back up a sonic framework that matches no pre-existing templates and is bursting with funk. A regular studio mate to the hyper-talented Appleblim, Second Storey has released a steady drip of technically tight and totally unique electronic grooves that are a must hear for the discerning  listener. He recently compiled this IDM/breakbeat/electro set exclusively for FWD.DJ and we are happy to share with you.

Project Pablo with Dane - 16 September 2019

Appleblim and Second Storey are amazing artists each one for themselves, but they have also been a team for while: they have released a few releases under the AL/SO moniker on R&S and they play b2b sets every now and then, where they cross over from bass music to electro, from house to electronica with a big portion of funk and dub. They did this for this mix and they will do this for our upcoming event on 28th of December at ://about blank. Enjoy the mix and see you there then!
