Electronic Convergence Mixes

Time for my monthly delve into the depths of deep-space electro. Some beautiful brand new records from ReKab, Taupe and Innershades along with some not so new on labels such as Nebulae and Futhur Electronix. The excellent Plant43 dominates the latter part of the mix with tracks on AC Records and Ai Records as well as his own Plant43 label. Enjoy!

Electronic Convergence Mix - February 2024

My monthly mix for Electronic Convergence explores the deeper side of electro whicle picking up the pace from Jan & Feb's mixes.

Appearances from ERP, Zobol, Versalife, D Roots and Derek Carr along with some artists that have already featured in Jan & Feb. I hope you find a few unearthed gems from some artists and labels that haven't been on your radar.

Also a shout out to w1B0 (RIP) - gone but not forgotten.

Re-recorded for Soundcloud as the sound quality from OPS wasn't great (new set up). Track for track the same mix - you can compare both!

Electronic Convergence Mix - May 2024

This month's set is a mix of Deep Electro and some Machine Funk. The Fanzine label features largely with an amazing new ep from Nullptr and a various artist release with tracks from Carl Finlow, Univac and Sound Synthesis. Another quality records I recently picked up was the 214 release on Frustrated Funk and all three tracks feature in the mix. Also, a shout out Irish label Instrinsic Rhythm and the new ep by Irish Electro legends Decal - one of the reasons I got into electro back in the late nineties!

This audio is from the practice run of the actual show. They are very similar but the video has a few extra tracks.

Electronic Convergence Mix - July 2024

This months show for Electronic Convergence is a deep space electro excursion. Allow the celestial machine funk thrust you into the aural abyss. Either that or its just an electro mix!

Some cracking records this month with brand new tracks from ReKaB on Analog Concept and Curved Space (Owain K and Gilbert) on Innate. The spectacular ending to Jamie Exalt's label also features throughout with tracks from 'The End' by Nyquist, SCN1, The Hidden Figure (aka Cignol) and Transparent Sound.

A special mention to Koloah, an artist I just discovered and am an instant fan. Four tracks included in this mix. One to look out for in the future for sure!

The mix ends with two stalwarts of the deep electro scene, Plant43 and Sound Synthesis with the close-out track by Human Rebellion (Warehouse Manifesto artist).

It was about time to put them together in a mix, so a slight departure from electro this time around. Special mentions to Delano Smith, Haventepe, Steve O'Sulllivan, Domenic Capello and the Outlaw label. Also, 'Visions' by Bohm is definitely in contention for track of the year - so so good!

Electronic Convergence Mix - September 2024

This month's selection is a tribute mix to DIE GESTALTEN, an artist I know very little about other than the music that comes out from behind the name is exceptional and quite unique, instantly recognisable and distinct from the crowd. The juxtaposition of classical strings and the robotic percussion produces such beautiful, melancholic, powerful electro tracks, harnessing both the sounds of the past and the future. Enjoy!

Electronic Convergence Mix - January 2025

February's show takes a break from techno and focuses more on deep electro tracks and some robotic acid-fused 4/4 beats. I've been looking forward to playing the Cybotron record for a while, with both sides being nothing short of epic. Two new Die Gestalten records along with two records from, new on the radar, Unwonted. Shouts out to CH415 for a brilliant ep on Who Is Paula and Obergman on Craigie Knowes and to all of the artists and labels involved.

Electronic Convergence Mix - February 2025

This month's mix was inspired by what I would call techno with a sound stemming from both Detroit and Chicago in the US. It's very different from the Berlin sound and is closer to jacking house that to minimal techno. I threw in a few classics at the end to extend the mix - unplanned but hopefully effective!

Electronic Convergence Mix - April 2025

This month's mix/livestream for Electronic Convergence looks like a real throwback after a quick flick through the tracklist featuring Anthony Rother, Hardfloor, Sniper Mode and UR003, but Mr Rother has recently re-released his classics in a double-vinyl package with edits of Red Light District and Destroy Him My Robots (I still prefer the originals!) and a new ep by Sniper Mode on Rawax. Hardfloor have also just released this colour splattered 4 remix ep of their track 'Machines On a Mission'. I threw in UR003 just because!

Notable some new excellent releases by Unwonted on Abstract Rhythm, DFD on We're Going Deep and by Versalife on Apnea. Lastly, two sublime remixes by E.R.P. from two separate eps that are just so beautiful. Enjoy!

Electronic Convergence Mix - June 2025

This month's show for Electronic Convergence features tracks from German cult label GIEGLING. Loaded with experimental minimal, glitch and all sorts of wonky grooves and organic soundscapes, representing its own very distinct sound. Giegling records are quite rare and fetch considerable prices on Discogs, so are in quite high demand when first released. After that, we are at the mercy of the sharks!

•	GAMADON (aka GAvin MAc DONagh) started buying records and DJing in 1996.
•	Established the Warehouse Manifesto (WM) record label and guest mix series.
•	WMR001 was released in February 2022 and is distributed on Bandcamp and Juno records.
•	Had the privilege of warming up for The Prodigy, on their European tour in cities such as Berlin, Hanover, Prague and Luxembourg in 2015-2016.
•	First gigs were in my hometown of Mullingar in 1997 with Martian Arts, supporting the likes of 808 State and Sunil Sharpe in The Stables.
•	By 1998, I had secured myself gigs playing techno at the legendary Genius night @ Kitchen and also The POD alongside Warren Kiernan & Joe McGrath. I also played at Derek F’s acid techno parties @ Tivoli Theatre and 13thFloor/McGraths’ supporting Dave the Drummer, Chris Liberator and Lawrie Immersion.
•	Moving to Vancouver, Canada in 1999, I signed up with the Pound Recordings crew under the name ‘Dex of Hazzard’ and was resident at their weekly parties in The Palladium playing breakbeat and electro. I was also invited to play club Sonar and various raves around the city. I also played club Rebar in the city of Edmonton.
•	In 2001, I moved back to Mullingar and started a weekly hard-techno night called ‘The Beat Bunker’ in Daly’s in Mullingar, giving local DJs a chance to play in an intimate venue.
•	In 2003, the next destination was Bermuda. For the three years living and working in this scenic, secluded island, I co-ran the Calisthenics house music parties with DJ Andy Schnerg of Toronto. The Hip Therapy parties were a great success, being Bermuda’s only House and Techno night.
•	I started the Disco Nouveau parties in Mullingar in 2008. This monthly event was held in The Stables live music venue – hosting DJs like Sunil Sharpe, Fran Hartnett, Al Keegan, Niall Power, Barry Redsetta and even DJ Mes, label owner of Legendary US West-Coast house label Guesthouse!). This night ran for 4 memorable years.
