Name: Hans Berg Live @ Eden 220714 by Hans Berg
Duration: 55 min 11 s
Description: Live from Eden, Stockholm. A completely improvised live set made with a modular synth, Boss RC-505 looper, Erica Synths LXR-02 drum machine, Roland JP-08 synth and some effects.

Imagine, in a factory, all machines and computers come to life at night and unleash their own music. Marching around with military precision, they draw inspiration from the dirtiest corners of the factory. They are creating snares like a slicer, belt-driven arps, bass drums high on fresh oil and synths full of emotions, which cut you deeper than your first broken heart. These sounds are telling the story of their monotonous march.

You’re digging this… For real? We have to disappoint you… Marching Machines is a Belgian duo with a musical history that spans more than two decades. Their love for electronic machine manipulation is key and have their output on labels like Correspondant, Rotten City Files, Opilec Music, Why People Dance, Nein and Wrong Era.

One operator in service is Dimitri Andreas, a producer whose chronicles go back to the early 2000s, with a wide range of works that vary from leftfield electronica and Belgian pop to tailor-made music for contemporary ballet performances. He speaks Wooky fluently and he’s a master in soap carving. You’ll find his creations and time-lapse videos on social media. Being a nerd, he’s inscrutable. The rumour goes that he once sold a synth to fund a tree hugger workshop on the island state of Yap.

The other operator is Ghent-based Spacid, a well-known DJ/promoter who has been active in Belgium’s underground scene for more than two decades. He is the former boss of Radius records and re-released Italo Disco in the early millennium. Next to his love for music, Spacid also loves green beans and koala bears. He’s feeling judge-y when he finds the time to dust off his vinyl stock and he is an avid collector of in-flight sick bags. In 2014, he won the prestigious Tuvaluan Lacemaking championship and is also an amateur surgeon. Isn’t that awesome?

Together they do their stubborn thing. In a strange and inspiring way, they complement each other in their quest for innovation. They’re exploring the boundaries of Electro, Dark Disco, Italo and EBM, topped with a Belgian old skool/new beat vibe.

Welcome to the machine!

"Intensely melodic electronic music" is a pretty spot on description of Chilean producer Ricardo Tobar's output. His creations suck you in and make you listen, leaving you feeling equal parts entranced and sharpened.

With around 15 years of producing under his belt, it's no surprise he's perfected these cinematic and melodic qualities in his music, which have been shared with the world via imprints like Border Community, Correspondant, ESP Institute and more recently on Amsterdam's MUSAR, which also marks the home of his next EP coming complete with a remix from the inimitable S.O.N.S.

Channeling similar sonic characteristics in his DJ sets, he leads the charge for this week's Wednesday Alternative mix, treating us to a mix of rich melodic electronics.

DJ, producer and veteran of the scene, Alex Bau supply’s the Chorus Broadcast with a delicately crafted hour of stripped back, deep beats. 🧘🏼‍♀️

A man that’s no stranger to anyones record bag, Alex boasts an impressive list of releases. Taking his first steps into production with Sven Dedek under the well-known ‘Basic Implant’ moniker in 1998. Later progressing into solo material, Alex solidified his reputation in the scene with follow up releases on respected labels such as: CLR, Cocoon, Gigolo Recordings, Sino and Zenit.  

Parallel to this, Bau founded his own outlet, CREDO, which serves as a platform for releasing both his own work and his friends releases to this day. 😈

Chorus Broadcast 028 - Alex Bau

The set is a trap.
It introduces itself as a gentle forest walk, gracious elves inviting you in with their gentle flutes and harps. Before you realise you find yourself in their catacombs. They start their hypnotic dance, slowly metamorphosing themselves into creatures of the underground. Their steps are echoing between the moisture of the brick walls. In the flickering twilight of their torches an ancient ritual starts to unfold. Half-naked, skin-and-bone beings moving in circles, conjuring forgotten forces; a slow, but definitive march forward. The room is filled with eerie sounds, crackles, metal against metal, the steady drops of water from the ceiling. Their ambiance is riding on the back of deeply pulsating drums, slowly dissolving your thoughts into the puddles on the floor. As you are released from the mirage, you find yourself with a newly acquired anxiety, in a strange sense of comfort.

Sinchi & Friends 24 -Denis Yurgens

With this episode of DT podcast Elena guides us through her mood as well. The journey begins with Le Chocolat Noir's impassive voice layed over strained delayed drum loops. The anxious state flows smoothly into Der Gotling's minor synths forming strong lines and short after everything returns to disorder. But anarchistic vocals and obscure melodies are here just for a while, followed with the gentle electro rhythms and then even some sunny house jam.

The second half of the hour is given to the hands of the acid, sneaky and wary at first. But once acid flux becomes really furious, all the energy is being absorbed by trippy hymn to a phobia from S.M. Nurse. With the last track Wick Wills wipes off the dust from the brilliant vocal of Martin Dupont and takes us back to the glittering synth melodies from beloved 80's.

Check out the fourth Disco Suicide Mix by Belgian producer & DJ David Garcet (@davidgarcet)!

Bio:
It took little to no time for Belgian-born talented DJ and eclectic electronic music producer to stand out through the originality of his creations. An ambitious and determined individual whose skill and artistic direction has also leaned into creating a music agency and label based in Bangkok, Thailand.

Successfully blending melodious and decadent music, every one of David Garcet's tracks plunges its listeners in his very personal, sexy and emotionally charged universe. A modern artist with regular releases, he is a key music producer and DJ in the electronic music scene, whose attention-grabbing music holds great surprises for music enthusiasts worldwide. Over the years he has productively released a number of noteworthy tracks and remixes of tracks by the likes of Haze-M Thodoris Triantafillou, Batsi Grub, Garance, Ron Flatter, Sid le rock, Juan Deminicis, Kolombo and many more. He has had several fruitful mentions on Niconé’s renowned label Dantze, as well as numerous remarkable releases on the prominent Progressive House label Manual Music. Not to mention a significant track record in other music labels including Tulipa recordings, Emerald & Doreen and of course Jane Music Agency, the latter being a fruit from his own labour.

His music experiences and maturity landed him on some of the region’s most illustrious stage. Through these experiences he noticed just how profoundly the music landscape in Asia was developing to welcome less mainstream genres. Inspired by this growth, David Garcet in partnership with Mjane created Jane Music Agency, an establishment that acts as a bridge between the electronic music industry in Europe and Asia. Inevitably becoming a pioneering venture that is helping shape the Asian underground music scene all whilst contributing to the industry in Europe, pushing the boundaries in both markets to explore and unveil fresh talent for global music fans. What started as an artist agency rapidly developed into a music label. The announcement of the label’s official creation was followed shortly after by the gleeful revelations of several EP releases, curated by artists on the label. The first of which “Tokniko” is a track produced by Mjane and David Garcet, due for release on 6th March 2020 with a series of impressive remixes by K.E.E.N.E., Samer Soltan and The Timber Taal. The second EP will follow shortly after, “Another Line” by David Garcet and Marie Lenoir is set to be issued on 15th May 2020, with remixes by Haze-M, Thodoris Triantafillou and Just Her. With so many exciting announcements already being shared, there is no doubt there are more bombshells heading our way in the near future!

A modern artist with regular releases on cool labels where he has been remixed by great artists like @Bastigrub, @sidlerock, @flowersonmonday, @GeorgeMorel, @Kolombo, @djGarance, @JuanDeminicis, @ron-flatter, @haze-m, @thodoris_triantafillou, @justhermusic, @neil-flynn

Disco Suicide Mix Series 004 - David Garcet

Hans Berg says that “every show is about pushing things further” when describing his take on live shows. He is not interested in playing it safe, being an artist who just plugs in, performs the same set, and then plugs out again. He wants to share the journey with his audience, experiencing the risk and reward of exploring the unknown and improvised. Hans’ artistry is all about building up his own musical environment, not just for the listener but also for himself. It is very much a world he is immersed in while producing. 

Playing with hyper-modern synthetic sounds, created from both hardware and software, balancing between hypnotic and driving techno, shaping unexpected melodies, it is some of the most organic-inorganic music you will ever hear. His musical language is distinct - it is near impossible not to recognise a Hans Berg production upon hearing it. For the initial discovery phase of production he very much enjoys the element of letting go of control; in recent projects he has investigated what happens if he lets the machines (particularly his beloved modular synths) lead the way; finding rewards in the unexpected and unplanned; letting instincts and machinery go off the beaten track; not intervening until the second act, when the raw material is in his hands, when it is time to sculpt and fine-tune his creations.

Hans also runs the label UFO Station Recordings together with fellow Swede Johanna Knutsson, it is a platform for individual productions as well as for their duo Knutsson/Berg. Aside from recently having released two solo EP’s on Ian Pooley’s Montage imprint, his debut album, “Dream Maker”, came out on The Vinyl Factory in 2017, followed in 2019 by his second full-length achievement “Sounds of the Forest Forgotten” on 2MR. Conceived between Hans’ studios in the ultra-busy city of Berlin and the remote countryside of Sweden, as the title suggests, it gathers inspiration from human interaction with the wild, highlighting the connection and disconnection between technology and nature.

Since 2004 Hans has been collaborating with Nathalie Djurberg, scoring the Swedish visual artist’s installations and movies. Berg’s compositions extends Djurberg’s work with soundtracks and sonic environments, and their work has been shown in numerous solo- and group exhibitions worldwide.
