Boss Priester @ Sisyphos | 4 - 7 AM 9.9.2023

Welcome to DREAMING EP, my Bandcamp release of 2023. This time I've selected some special tracks from the archive, some older and some newer ones: 
A1 'Falset' features a mystical journey perfect for the late hours of the night, with piano synths and elements that drift into a mysterious space. 
A2 shifts the ride a bit with 'Candyflippin', which brings a playful and groovy vibe to the EP. 
B1 and B2, 'Efx' and 'Face Down' are 2 funky tracks aimed for the dance floor who shift the dream into a new dimension. 
Following the C1 side, 'From Dusk Till Drums' is a timeless piece made during lockdown of 2020 which embodies nostalgia, making it perfect for the closing of a set. 
And last but not least, the Dream ends with the C2 'Afternoon Daydream', a poetic track that leaves you wondering of the unexplored sides of this universe.

Warning: This track contains unpleasant dissonance.

이 믹스는 사랑을 할때의 일련의 감정들을 담고 있다. 처음의 설렘 혹은 두려움, 흥분, 신남, 환희, 갈등, 그 이후까지. 그래서 물론 (의도된) 불협화음도 담고 있다. 왜냐하면 실제 사랑이란 마냥 아름답지만은 않기 때문이다.

예서와 같은 집에 살며, 그녀가 작품을 만들며 느끼는 행복 고뇌 등을 옆에서 볼 수 있어서 참 행복했다. 한여름의 싱가포르에서, 추운 겨울에 히터 아래의 그녀가 캔버스에 시멘트를 바르던 모습을 상상했다. 행복해졌다.

이 트랙을 그녀에게 바친다. 내가 가진 제일 좋은 것들만 담아서.

This mix depicts the series of emotions in love – the thrill or fear, excitement, joy, exhilaration and the aftermath of conflicts. It also reflects the (intended) dissonance sounds that comes with it, as love is not always perfect.

Living under the same roof with Yeaseo, witnessing her moments of doubt, excitement, and the suffer from creating her art was a true joy.

I dedicate this track to her and her loves, pouring my very best into it.

An Ode to Yeaseo Kim - Love is not something you fall into, but something you must preserve.

We’re pleased to announce the addition of a new member of the Wrecks Wradio, young up and coming producer and DJ KWAKE from Sheffield City is joining the roster with his mashed up style of Yorkshire Bleeps and Breaks. KWAKE joins us in the run up to his forthcoming EP on Klasse Wrecks and we're happy to have him as part of the team.

Recently started a new journey with the vinyls.
This mix blends classic techno and acid house with 90s vibes, layered with cracks and distortions.
It’s not perfect, but I’m already on the journey and enjoying it.
Welcome onboard this collision distortion ship.

All vinyls sourced from dusty corners from Berlin, Bangkok, Bali and Seoul.
The crates tell the story. Let them talk.
Not perfect at all, but super happy to share this beautiful memories hehe
Bahahahah

바이닐로 믹스하는 새로운 여정을 시작했습니다.
90년대 분위기의 클래식 테크노와 애시드 하우스를 기반으로, 파열음이 섞여 있는 구성입니다.

<최근에 겪었던 충돌>
고고하고 싶은 욕망 vs. 릴스 대박터지고 싶은 욕망
유니클로 깜장티만 입고다니기 vs. 바이닐 한번에 몇십만원어치 사기
집 없기 vs. 비행기값 몇백만원 쓰기
업계의 클래식 되고싶은 욕망 vs. 보일러룸에서 나좀 불러줬으면
아회사힘들다 vs. 바이닐살라면돈있어야함

등등등.

이러한 충돌들을 견디는 과정까지 포함해서 들어주시면 감사하겠습니다.

바이닐 하나하나 베를린, 방콕, 발리 서울 등지의 골목에서 직접 디깅해 왔습니다.
아직 많이 서툽니다만, 소중한 향기를 나눌 수 있어 기쁩니다.

MUSIC IS BETTER RE-EDITED HIGHLIGHTS 20.12.03

When I upgraded my SoundCloud account it was with the intention of adding selected mixes from the period 2003-2009, bringing everything under one roof by placing them alongside the ongoing additions that have been continually made available since I uploaded the first of my SoundCloud mixes, recorded at Café Mambo in Ibiza exactly 2 years ago today (27.09.09). So it’s fitting that Music Is Better Re-Edited Highlights, the mix that marked my return to the DJ world, should kick off this process, with further uploads to be added periodically.

The following piece was written in 2004, some months after the Music Is Better mix had been made available as a limited CD via Manchester's Piccadilly Records.

MUSIC IS BETTER RE-EDITED HIGHLIGHTS:
Last December, twenty years on from when I stopped deejaying professionally, I came out of retirement, so to speak, and made what seemed like, as I described it at the time, a ‘second debut’ (my first being way back in 1975). In the two decades that have passed since I decided to call it a day, I’ve made the odd guest appearance here and there, but had no inclination to seriously start up again.

That all changed during 2003, with the launch of the electrofunkroots.co.uk  website, which I’d set up to document the crucial early 80’s period, when dance music (or black music as it was still referred to) was going through some radical changes that would have a huge bearing on the subsequent course of club culture. It was at this point in time that I was fortunate enough to find myself behind the decks in two of the greatest British clubs of the era, Wigan Pier and Legend in Manchester, where I’d bring a new flavour of music to the table, along with a fresh (from a UK perspective) approach to the way I worked, as one of just a handful of British DJ’s back then who had made the decision to switch the emphasis of their presentation style from microphone to mixing. 

I had no idea that, all these years on, an ever-increasing amount of clubbers were now beginning to look back to exactly this time and rediscover the great underground music, mainly from New York, that preceded House, and which was originally played here in the UK on the specialist black scene. Having decided to become pro-active in drawing people’s attention to this hugely important, but largely overlooked period, it was a pleasant surprise to realise that this process was already underway. Before I knew it, I began to receive enquiries about possible DJ bookings and it soon became obvious that the logical next step for me to take was back into the clubs, so I could actually play these records to an audience who’ve finally come to appreciate their significance in inspiring the music that inspired them.

Had this been all about playing some tunes for old times sake to the people who were there at the time, there’s no way I’d have been into it as anything more than an occasional one-off. However, the fact that there’s a whole new generation who are looking for a return to underground values, as well as an older audience who (having maybe got into dance stuff at a later stage) missed much of this music first time around, prevents it from becoming a purely nostalgic exercise and, instead, presents a whole new dynamic. For this is something relevant to now, which is rooted in the past, yet forward looking.

To further emphasise this link, the equipment I decided to use was a Revox B77 reel-to-reel (past), vinyl (present) and laptop (future). It was also important that I didn’t just stick to the records that I used to play, but included a few more recent releases, from artists with a clear respect for what’s gone before, like Chicken Lips, Metro Area and Diplomat. The laptop would also allow me to feature my own re-edits and the Revox to add live sounds and effects. Having been regarded as progressive in my approach to deejaying back then, I figured it was only right that I should continue to work by the same principles, trying new ideas alongside the old ones in an effort to highlight the ongoing links between then and now.

The night I chose for my ‘comeback’ appearance was called ‘Music Is Better’. It was held at The Attic in Manchester. It obviously had to be Manchester as this, although not my actual home, is certainly my ‘spiritual home’, the place where I found my ultimate DJ highs – so it was important to make that vital connection with the past immediately. ‘Music Is Better’ was the perfect type of night for me, suitably low-key, whilst attracting the kind of people who understand that four-to-the-floor isn’t the be all and end all.

I’d planned to use the night as a tester, so I could identify what worked and what didn’t, before I started accepting the bookings I’d been offered in other parts of the country. I’d anticipated a gradual acclimatization for myself, estimating that once I’d got 3 or 4 appearances under my belt I’d be able to gauge things better. In no way did I expect this first night to go so well for me, without any of the teething problems I’d envisaged. 

The night wasn’t recorded, but it was decided that, to mark the occasion, I’d re-create it track for track for a limited edition CD (edited down from the two and a quarter hours I played to single disc length). 

So this is how ‘Music Is Better – The Re-Edited Highlights’ came to be. The 500 copies that were made have now all gone, the response to the CD echoing the positive reaction on the night. I’ve since taken bookings (and often re-bookings) in Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Glasgow, London, Leeds, Limerick, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Plymouth, Sheffield and Wrexham, along with further dates in Manchester. 2004 has been a year I’ll never forget and I can’t thank everyone enough for their support, their warmth and their energy. Having been totally detached from the club scene for so many years, it’s all been a bit of a Rip Van Winkle re-awakening for me! 

I never thought I’d say it, but it’s great to be a DJ once again. 

Hope you enjoy this mix,
