3 QUESTIONS to JOHN TEJADA:

Q: Let's get into the mood for your mix: Why did you select these tracks and what do they still mean to you today?

A: I wanted to dig through my vinyl collection and find some key influential tracks that made me want to one day create electronic music. These tracks shared a lot of music technology even though they were from different genres. I regularly go back to these songs as I can still feel that initial influence these tracks had as I heard them for the first time as a kid. They seemed so futuristic. Without all the info we have at our disposal today, I remember just wondering how and where these tracks came from. They continue to inspire me to this day. 

Q: How did you reflect the past 2 years of pandemic for yourself, your creativity and your life?

A: It was of course a very strange time, but it gave me time to focus on what’s important and how I want to continue with my work and everything else as normalcy is slowly returning. Those 2 years really helped me to focus in and appreciate quality time with everything I do, wether it’s being home, working on music or performing. 

Q: Which projects are you currently working on and what can we expect soon?

A: I’ve got a new solo EP out on Palette July 29th called “Nocturama.” Also, my remix of Orbital’s “Impact” is out on the same day.

QUESTIONS to KITTIN:

Q: Let´s talk about your mix for HOW I MET THE BASS. How did these tracks have an impact on your career? So: how did you meet the "bass" once?

A: I met the bass in our local New Wave club in Grenoble who hosted the first Electronic Music party in 1989. It was very bad music, spanish Bacalao by a group of DJs on tour. But how I really „met the bass“ was shortly after at our first rave party in a small town near by, first time we had a flyer in our hands too, Rave Virus. We all went with The Hacker in the same car, same group of friends today. That night had a huge impact on my life. We went to an after hour, and when I came back home, I packed my things and left. I remember saying to myself: how are you going to cope with so called „normal life“ after that? I knew I had to work very hard to write my own path, I knew I would have to make choices that would hurt my family, but I was determined to be free. The same freedom I felt dancing non stop that night on such music. My mix is based on these early rave years memories. The excitement and freedom of each rave, each trip, each DJ, each record. It’s impossible to summit it in a one hour mix, but for example, the track from The Hypnotist (“Pioneers Of The Universe“) in the middle of the mix, the longest too, really brings me back to a special party, the Docks in Marseille in 1993. CJ Bolland played live, among Robert Liner (The Source Experience) and huge Belgian DJs like The Fly or Yves de Ruyter. I also included tracks I listened to before and after a party, at home with friends, like LFO, Aphex Twin, Lhasa or B12. I was massively influenced by the early Warp stuff, and the Artificial Intelligence compilations I still listen to today. When I started DJing, I was playing very hard, Acid Core, but I always tried to bring a left field tune in the middle such as Autechre, Boards of Canada, or The Prodigy. A challenge I kept all along. One hour is really too short, I wanted to play early House tracks too but I am definitely a rave kid. I could have include Gat Decor too, always in my bag, but as a lot of DJs play it back, I focused on more forgotten ones. To meet the bass in my case means „I understood music“ for the first time. I analyzed sounds, closed my eyes and saw shapes, colors, stimulating my intellect. I LIVED the sound. I was not a passive listener anymore, for the first time. What struck me, talking about it, is: many people don’t have that relationship to music. They just play commercial stuff from the radio but don’t feel deep inside this incredible sensation. So I feel very fortunate. Nevertheless I never wanted to be a musician or DJ, but it did change my life. Big time.

Q: In now 25 years of DJing you´ve been playing all over the planet. Which places and experiences were outstanding for you?

A: It’s an impossible question. Too many to say. It happened that I cried out of emotion, in Barcelona, in the big Razzmatazz years, people chanting so hard I had to stop the music and hear them sing. Or lately playing B2B for 6h with Marcel Dettmann at Panorama Bar. Never thought I could live that again in my career. I also had my best experiences out of rage, live with The Hacker, at Benicassim when I nearly missed the show trapped in traffic, had to run on the side road in the heat with biker boots, arrived on stage nearly fainting, threw my boots in the audience as my feet hurt so bad and did the whole show barefoot, full house. Love Parade 2001, at the Siegessäule, one million people, they say your name on the microphone „Miss Kittin, Grenoble, France“ and my dad saw me playing for the first time, this was quite life changing for him, acknowledging I did pretty well for a raver.

3 QUESTIONS to DRUNKEN KONG

Q: Talking about your mix. How did you come to the "bass", to Techno once?

A: Growing up in Tokyo in the 90`s when the rave boom came, we were exposed to all sorts of electronic music. From Techno, House, Ambient, Goa Trance, Electronic Rock, everything was just mixed up. Genres didn't matter at the time, good music was good music. The parties here would be a mix of different styles of dance music. From Techno, Goa Trance, Tribal live performances, many style were just mixed throughout the party. This mix takes a bit from these styles. Music that was just something new and influential to us.

Q: From Japan to the world. What are your favorite places to play your music on the planet?

A: Thats a tough question. We always find every place to be special. Each country, region, city have their own vibe and to us, it's all about this. Every place is a favorite to us!

Q: Which future projects are on the way? What to expect in 2020?

A: We just released our album from Tronic "Where We Start". We have a collab EP with Misstress Barbara coming up in April on Octopus Recordings and a remix work we worked on with Christian Smith for Tronic. We also had a chance to do some remix works. More info coming soon!

🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯

Unser Künstlerleben quasi ist komplett eingefroren. Wir hatten übers Jahr zwei Gigs. Die haben wir sonst mindestens pro Monat. Es ging halt nichts. Zum Glück sind wir davon finanziell nicht abhängig, weil wir eigentlich andere Dinge machen, um unseren Lebensunterhalt einzufahren. Ich würde da mit jenen, die mit dem Auflegen ihr Leben finanziell meistern, nicht tauschen wollen. Und dennoch fehlt das. Nicht nur finanziell, vor allem eher soziokulturell. Die gemeinsame Eskalation, das Ausrasten, die kollektive Ekstase. Das sind ja auch Gründe, warum wir das, was wir da machen, so lieben - und das war halt ab März einfach mal so weg. Gänzlich. Das fehlt nicht wenig. Und dennoch sind die Maßnahmen natürlich notwendig und auch richtig. Das ist vielleicht das größte Dilemma an all dem - man kann das nicht mal irgendwem übelnehmen oder seinen Ärger auf irgendwen projizieren. Weil es ist wie es ist und weil es genau so sein muss.

Und wir konnten aufgrund der vielen freien Zeit endlich mal unser Album fertigmachen, das nun Ende Dezember erscheinen wird. Einer der wenigen Vorteile.

🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei? 🗯🗯

Wir haben beide ein bisschen die Schnauze voll von unseren Soundcloud-Streams. Seit Monaten nur noch Bummelschneckentechno auf allen Kanälen. Nicht selten sehr uninspiriert, sehr lame. Ich kann es, bis auf wenige und doch gute Ausnahmen, nicht mehr hören. Also dachten wir so, „lass mal das  Bums-Zeug von früher spielen. Das kennen doch die ganzen jungen Leute ja gar nicht nicht mehr!“ Und so war das. Dann  ballerten wir im Studio die Monitore fast auf Anschlag, machten die Fenster auf (weil Rudi  unbedingt beim Auflegen im Studio rauchen wollte und da wird halt eigentlich nicht drin geraucht) und dachten, dass irgendwer der Nachbarn die Bullen rufen würde. Was keiner tat. Wir tranken viel zu viel Schnaps, Rudi kam irgendwann mit Sekt um die Ecke und ging erst gegen 04:30. Es ist mal wieder alles komplett eskaliert - und wir lieben das. Das Studio stinkt immer noch wie eine Berliner Raucherpinte zu Beginn der 90er Jahre. Aber das war das den Abend wert.

🗯🗯 Was wünscht du dir für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯

Gigs, Festivals, Meeresrausch, gemeinsame Eskalation, das Ausrasten, die kollektive Ekstase. Und Pyros.
