This live recording from Australian noise and installation artist Kusum Normoyle together with experimental saxophonist Mette Rasmussen, is a culminating event to their collaborative project which recently took them through Norwegian landscapes where they performed a series of improvisations by fjords, waterfalls and atop mountain ranges. 

This was recorded at Landmark, Bergen on the 10th August, 2016

Since the turn of the millennium, UK artist Alistair Wells has been putting out a tough and abrasive brand of experimental techno that cannot fail to arrest your attention. Always skewing existing ideas into his own new—often brutalist—ways of thinking, his output has seen him become an in demand live act and DJ who plays across three decks all over the world. He does so under the alias Perc, mostly on his own label Perc Trax, and at the same time he has also brought on a number of likeminded artists from Ansome to Manni Dee. His own catalogue boasts albums like Wicker & Steel and The Power And The Glory, and these have rightfully won him deserved time in the limelight. That fact proves that although Wells has been around for years, he is as vital now as ever. 

As such he brings something new to our mix series across an hour of lively selections. Very quickly settling into a high tempo, high impact groove, there are maximalist techno cuts, passages of angst ridden noise and thumping bangers all bolted together into something uncompromisingly physical and in your face. Franky, it’s a vital visceral offering that would work at any point in the past, present or future of techno.

Marie Davidson is a Canadian singer, poet, and electronic music producer. Originating from Montreal, she is also one half of the minimal wave duo Essaie Pas, a duo she formed with her partner, Frenchman Pierre Guerineau. She sings in both English and French. Her third album, Adieux au Dancefloor was named by Pitchfork as one of "The 20 Best Electronic Albums of 2016".[3] The album is themed around Davidson's ambivalent feelings towards dance music and club culture. Describing her two earlier albums, Pitchfork wrote, "Her two previous solo releases (Perte D'Identité and Un Autre Voyage) mingled gothic ambient music, poetic repetitions, and analog synthpop to great success. Her work has never felt campy, but is darkly rendered, probing, and redolent of Lizzy Mercier Descloux.

Davidson was also part of the duo Les Momies de Palerme, along with Xarah Dion. Their LP Brûlez ce coeur was released on Constellation Records in 2010. She has collaborated with various other musicians including Matana Roberts (on her project Coin Coin) and David Kristian, and she was part of the orchestral project Land of Kush.

Digital Tsunami 123 - Marie Davidson

This week we turn to another close Dekmantel family member in Matrixxman. In just a couple of years the American has emerged as one of the foremost producers in the house and techno world. His rugged analogue sounds have come thick and fast over nearly 20 EPs and are famous for their balance of quality, invention and diversity. Never sticking to the same sound for long, his Sector series on our label proved that, roaming as it does from repetitive peak time techno futurism to mind melting acid and back again. Always focussed squarely on the dance floor, that carries over into his always body jerking sets, many of which have been at Dekmantel events and festivals around the world. 

Over the course of an hour here, the artist goes deep into a streamlined, intergalactic techno soundworld. Supple synths are layered up over pressurised and rubbery drums, manic melodies circle the grooves and there is a sense of darkness to the whole thing that is truly compelling. As energy levels ramp up throughout, you can’t help but go hard right until the blissed out ambient end game.

 Ancient Greek 
 
φοῖβε, σὲ μὲν καὶ κύκνος ὑπὸ πτερύγων λίγ᾽ ἀείδει,
ὄχθῃ ἐπιθρώσκων ποταμὸν πάρα δινήεντα,
Πηνειόν: σὲ δ᾽ ἀοιδὸς ἔχων φόρμιγγα λίγειαν
ἡδυεπὴς πρῶτόν τε καὶ ὕστατον αἰὲν ἀείδει.
καὶ σὺ μὲν οὕτω χαῖρε, ἄναξ, ἵλαμαι δέ σ᾽ ἀοιδῇ. 

English Version 

Phoebos, even the pure-voiced swan on the wing sings of you,
leaping upon the bank beside the whirling river
Peneios; and of you the sweet-singing bard
with clear-sounding phorminx always sings first and last.
Hail to you then, lord: may I please you with my song.
