Interview + Download:  http://truantsblog.com/2017/truancy-volume-199-shed/

For our 199th Truancy Volume and our last mix of the year we welcome none other than René Pawlowitz to the series, providing us with an hour long mix under his most well known  alias, Shed. One of many numerous names that Pawlowitz has given his productions over the years, (Craft, EQD, Evil Fred, Head High, Operation Amplified, PCK, Rhythm-Spd, Seelow, Sigg Gonzalez, Stable Mates, STP, The Panamax Project, The Traveller, War Easy Made, Wax, WK7) it's the experimental nature and consistency of Shed that's garnered the most listeners. Releasing his seminal Shedding the Past LP via Ostgut Ton in 2008,  an equally as praised follow up in the form of The Traveller cemented Shed's name in techno. Finding a regular home for his music the last few years at the recently defunct 50 Weapons, his on-going professional relationship with Gernot and Sebastian (Modeselektor) has seen him release his fourth album The Final Experiment on Monkeytown this year. Having also recently repressed his own two first albums on a label he's set up under the fourth album title, we caught up with René to discuss the move, taking his Final Experiment A/V show on the road, his Head High alias and fishing. His Truancy Volume which he describes as having a strong theme of feeling and looking to soundtrack the cold month of December with a homely atmosphere, is wide ranging in styles. With a large portion delving into breaks and drum and bass, and not a single 4x4 kick in sight, it's undoubtedly Shed, pulling for influences and emotion that harkens back to the provocative yet compelling sounds of his first two full-lengths, and their follow ups.

Truancy Volume 199: Shed

In Hour 2 we have Emma ‘Solid’ Blake, a DJ and producer who, originally from Glasgow, now plays a prominent role in the bustling electronic music scene emerging from Copenhagen. Having first appeared as a producer at Glasgow’s highly influential freeform radio station Subcity Radio, after moving to Denmark, Blake quietly built a glowing reputation among the underground techno community in Copenhagen as part of renowned DJ collective Apeiron Crew. Never one to restrict herself, she’s embarked on a journey as a solo artist, turning her hand to production and adopting the moniker ‘Solid Blake’ – a playful nod to the lead character Snake from video game classic Metal Gear Solid. She continues to build on the style and reputation nurtured by her earlier projects in her solo production work, her own sound dipping regularly into the grittier recesses of techno and electro, with healthy servings of acid. She told us;
"I recorded this mix at home late at night (sorry neighbours), and it ended up turning out a little darker than I had planned, even though I was in a pretty good mood at the time. It's a collection of new stuff from friends, some tracks I've been playing recently and a couple of things I've not quite had the courage to play in a club setting (yet)"

We're very happy to welcome the mighty Historical Repeater, for their first full ep. Historical Repeater is the collaborative project of Ctrls and Solid Blake, and here they unload four tracks of supreme sonic quality. Channeling the spirit of classic techno with high-level sound design, alongside tricky, raw electro that doesn't compromise, Historical Repeater arrive with a carefully distilled sound that stands out from the crowd. From the trance-inducing title track "Scientific Calculator" to the insistent, pulsing groove of closing cut "Say Nothing", this record is especially characterized by its weird vox hooks and deft rhythms - underpinned by a swirling sea of dynamic, digital synthesis. In short, it's a belter!

Asquith, Catswith or just Jimmy. A man you'll no doubt be familiar with through his diligent service to your favourite sonic seafood supper, Lobster Theremin. Alas, the mans talents span beyond the required acumen to build and sustain such an industry stronghold. Those of you in the know will be aware of his musical ability through the more ambient alias Tom Hang and the warehouse dance-floor ready, Chicago Floatation Device. However, of late, Jimmy has been littering the sonisphere with strictly bangers for our enjoyment via his actual name alias, Asquith.

This one is called 'Hot Hot' - a certified floor weapon which skirts the border of being club tool, yet holding the esteem of a full bodied banger.  A devastating bottom end is amalgamated with glitched percussion which - along with the near percussive vocal stabs - violently slice and slash through the mix. Put it this way, you're not listening to this in the car with your mum but bring her to the club and listen to it there?

RA.348 is a live jam from the duo made up entirely of new and unreleased material, some of which is untitled at this point (hence the lack of a tracklist), some of which is due out soon on Tresor. In either case, it's killer.
