Next up in our mix series is Blue Hour - DJ, producer and label-head under the same name. With an ethos to evolve and support compelling artists, the door of 'Blue Hour Music' opens up, releasing the work of Alpha Tracks and Dold along the way, as well as gaining the reputation of a respected and important outlet for contemporary techno music. 

In this mix, Blue Hour showcases his potent, club-ready side of his arsenal. One hour full of energetic grooves, full blooded basslines and sweaty soundscapes.

FrenzyPodcast.169 - Glaskin

The first FrenzyPodcast will be provided by two brothers from Munich that go by the name of Glaskin. Specialising in their own distinctive take on music, the duo are currently residents at the renowned Blitz Music Club of the same city. Showcasing a high energy sound, combining the past with the present, have led them to releasing on some well-established labels in the scene and having their Berghain-debut last month as part of the Spandau20 label night!

The mix they created for the FrenzyPodcast series has been one full of inspiration drawn from their set at Berghain. It’s a hybrid of vinyl and digital which enables them to connect the past with the present and their own work perfectly. Listen to the sound of Glaskin for FrenzyPodcast 169, enjoy!

FrenzyPodcast #169 - Glaskin

With this mix, I’ve tried to captured the sounds that really founded my interest in dance music. I draw a lot of inspiration from the Copenhagen Techno scene and I’m lucky enough to have been mentored by Repro and Adam Askov, and it felt really full circle to play a lot of their music, along with some classics from Schacke and Sugar. I also combined this with some of my newer interests, taking inspiration from UK sounds like Overmono and Joy Orbison. I really tried to focus on building the energy and tension throughout the mix.

Hey everyone,

I would like to share with you my project. I’m pitching a subscription program that will take you on a year long journey into my real-time music production. The project will be explored together with my audience as we travel along through the vast and complex outer space of music....
Having the experience of being a label owner and organizing parties, collaborating and being with the crowd, I have always tried to incorporate an awareness of the music industry‘s mechanisms. After more than a decade of working with vinyl (producing, selling, collecting, gifting, swapping, and losing), I want to deviate from the sluggish times of the last years and rethink my approach to music distribution. To achieve this I will use the Bandcamp Subscription Service.....
After signing up, subscribers will receive a track every Thursday throughout the whole year of 2023. You’ll receive 52 tracks for 52€. At the end of each month, non-subscribers will be able to buy the monthly digital EPs for 2€ per track. For those who fear commitment of any kind, single tracks can be purchased for 3€....
Dividing the year into 4 seasons, every quarter‘s content will be presented in a continuous mix made by affiliated artists and friends. The fast rhythm of the output is an integral part oft the framework because it encourages more playfulness, spontaneity, and surprise. I’ll experiment with making versions of tracks by expanding the duration, multiplying, and reconfiguring the order of my material. Appropriated, sampled, and recorded fragments will reappear to disturb the semantics of a conventional album, releasing different meanings after each slightly shifted repetition. Thus interrelations between the output can stretch over a year‘s time, poking at sonic memory and rigid listening behavior. The habitual 30 minutes attention span a vinyl EP requires is given way to explore limitless digital possibilities. Even though I see great value in the compact physical object of a record, such benefits as the distribution process, pricing, and overall autonomy overrule that fetish in this new strategy. I will continue to produce vinyl, but for this project, I´d like to subvert the industry‘s superstructures (which tend to exploit the artists´ share) and strive for my own sales autonomy even more. You will be able to communicate with me on a surface level but also unconsciously via your digital trace. Streaming and purchase behavior, likes, and critiques will be met quicker and more intuitively.....

I look forward to sending out my music to your Bandcamp inbox every week, so please subscribe and meet me on this psychedelic journey that will hopefully blow your mind.

Subscription Tracks - FALL (mixed by Spekki Webu)

Salty DJ is one to watch. He’s a Berlin-based vinyl head and resident of the Shockwerk collective whose parties have been causing a stir in the southern half of Germany. This new kid on the block is wasting no time getting out there, with notable performances at Weltspiele, Tresor, Mala Junta, and Kulør’s label night at Berghain. His sound is indicative of a particularly defined social current rippling through music at the moment, a re-remembering and reconfiguration of the experience of youth in the 90s and parallels found on dancefloors today: soundtracked by plenty of the decade’s finest techno and trance-leaning frequencies, and plenty of shades there-between. His slamming beats barely leave enough space for you to catch a breath. Skittish and quick as a flash, there’s little doubt Salty DJ’s wax wizardry holds great promise. Bassiani Podcast 198 is powerful stuff, an hour-long dispatch from this fresh and compelling prodigy.

Listen back to Sugar as he delivered a deep and driving hour of techno.

Sugar @ Drift Radio 18-01-24

S.tian is, without exaggeration, a rising star on the scene. If you are a regular attendee at the Komiks parties, you likely already encountered him behind the decks. Most often, you will hear S.tian playing hardgroove infused with elements of samba and Latin American influence.

“Dive into a mesmerizing techno journey infused with a touch of tribal essence, where pulsating beats, scratches and mysterious noises converge in groovy symphony of sound,” conveys S.tian himslef and invites you to listen to the 22th episode of Weltraum podcast.
