Melodic Diggers °146 | Thodoris Triantafillou - Leave Them Kids Alone

Welcome to Il Modo's Exclusive Series Mix for March 2024.  We are thrilled to bring you a guest mix from the one and only Robert Babicz.

Robert Babicz has been redefining the boundaries of electronic music since the early 1990s. His unique artistry encompasses sound, vision, emotion and spirituality. From releasing and performing acid techno as Rob Acid, to his role as a highly-sought after producer and studio wizard infusing technical perfection with deep emotion, to his striking photos, everything Robert does expresses his desire to celebrate beauty and humanity, and to live each moment with utmost consciousness. Robert's art and philosophy are so distinctive there's a word for it: Babiczstyle.

EVOLUTION
Robert made his first record on borrowed equipment in 1992 and played his first gig on gear he'd never used before. “I had no musical background or knowledge, no clue what I was doing. I just improvised. But for the first time in my life I was absolutely in the moment. And people responded – they loved and accepted me.”  Music was a way to rise above the struggles of daily life (in the early years of his career, he slept on a mattress on the floor of a tiny flat in his home town Cologne, his synths his only possessions) and to share the joy of that transcendence with others. Playing as Rob Acid, he ignited parties with fierce techno played by strict rules: every set was 100% live and unique, he deleted the instruments' programming immediately afterwards.

COMMUNICATION
The power of Robert's performances are fuelled by his lack of personal ego: “I'm not playing the instruments,” he says. “The people on the dancefloor are playing me”. He's never DJ'd (“I have so many ideas, I am always trying out my own music”), packs only “underwear and my instruments”
to go on tour, and has a single goal: to feel the crowd, make people forget their problems and experience pure joy on the dancefloor: “The perfect moment is when they stop caring about their job, and are in the here and now. You can see it on their faces. They let loose of everything and are completely in the present. This makes me happy.”

CRAFT
Robert continuously pushes the boundaries of electronic music as an artist, consultant, teacher, and engineer. Among Robert's more than 1000 releases are seven albums and a flood of tracks for labels including Bedrock, INTEC, Mille Plateaux, Systematic, Audiomatique, K2, Treibstoff, SUGA, Punkt and Praxxiz. In recent years, he has focused increasingly on his own imprint, Babiczstyle, which epitomises his sound, emotions and ethos.
Robert's exceptional sound-design, mastering and studio skills have prompted companies like Native Instruments and Apple to request his help on sound-design projects. He also teaches workshops on production and his music philosophy; and is one of the electronic music world's most in-demand mastering artists. Fellow artistes from across the dance music spectrum trust Robert to perfect the technical aspects of their records while rendering the emotions and intention even clearer.

AUTHENTICITY
Babiczstyle is authenticity in action. Wherever he travels the world, Robert is instantly recogniseable for his music, his warm smile, his energy, and his bright red scarf. “It's a bit like Superman's cape,” he jokes. The difference is, when Robert puts on the red scarf to perform he doesn't become someone else. Robert's superpower is the integrity of his art and vision: “I don't want to be dreamed by others,” he says. “I want to be myself.”

We hope you enjoy the mix!

Hi guys!
New recording i mixed a few weeks ago in the studio before undergoing shoulder surgery. 
For this one I blended some old and new tunes resulting in this beautiful mix full of grooves and deep moments.

Expect a new mix in the upcoming weeks, feeling lots of inspiration as I recover.

PREMIERE: Riesen - The Old Trip Has Returned (Original Mix) [Under Hypnosis]

Buy/Stream here: https://go.protonradio.com/r/rlEWk3Y1BGxDI

Legendary figures in the South American underground dance scene, Kamilo Sanclemente and Andre Moret debut together on Clubsonica Records with a twin-tracker of outstanding quality. A single remix from a production duo who have shaped the progressive scene sees D-Nox & Becker complete the package.

Requiring little in the way of introduction, Kamilo Sanclemente has been at the vanguard of South American dance music for over a decade. Responsible for some 1200 production credits stretching back to 2013, the Colombian has seen his work wedded to a suite of high-profile labels that include Darin Epsilon’s Perspectives Digital, Paul Hazendonk’s Manual and Paul Thomas’ UV. Colombian imprint, Clubsonica, has also played no small part in that success with a clutch of remixes and original material, including several with fellow countryman and label head honcho, Juan Pablo Torrez. Andre Moret has also been a staple of the South American progressive fraternity with a glorious selection of releases on Kasey Taylor’s Vapour Recordings, D-Nox’s Sprout and the legendary, Transensations Records. Born in Campinas, the Brazilian’s accomplished piano-playing has stood him in good stead during a celebrated and much-lauded career. As a production pairing, the duo’s work for Balkan Connection, The Purr and Plattenbank, have witnessed a stellar music collection as Kamilo Sanclemente and Andre Moret join together for their Clubsonica debut.

Opener, “Spectre”, is a chunky rhythmic affair with familiar percussive shakers and copious amounts of rich effects littering the stereo spectrum. A thumping bassline progression and counterpoint melodic layers provide intrigue aplenty and arpeggiated urgency. An intelligent breakdown that subtly slows the arpeggiation before building to a rising and dramatic crescendo, the track then drops back into familiar groove-laden territory with delicate leads adding depth, atmosphere and emotion.

Partner track, “Paradox”, brings in Yudi Watanabe, a rising force within Brazil’s progressive and melodic underground. Based in Campinas, Yudi has steadily built a reputation for his emotionally rich sound design and deep, flowing grooves, showcased across a growing catalogue on labels such as Sprout, Plaisirs Sonores, NightColours, and Clubsonica, to name a few, consistently charting for its warm harmonics and evocative atmospheres. “Paradox” hits the ground running with its deliciously emotive running bassline. A syncopated arpeggio captures attention with its melodic vibrancy while ethereal vocal layers add a hands-in-the-air moment. Rising to its zenith, the second half oozes quality with a new complementary lead line that adds real purpose and dancefloor vibrancy.

D-Nox & Beckers have been key figures in the Progressive House and Melodic Techno genres for over 20 years. Gracing the world’s finest clubs and festivals in more than 70 countries and 5 continents, the pair’s production work has shone a bright light on their joint credentials, seeing some 400 credits on such elite imprints as Christian Smith’s Tronic, Dave Seaman’s Selador and John Digweed’s Bedrock Records. Throw in a century of credits on D-Nox’s own #1 ranked Progressive House label and it is not hard to see the appeal generated by the D-Nox & Beckers marque. Another debutant pairing on Clubsonica, their remix of “Spectre” is driven by chest-thumping kick and meticulously crafted bassline groove. Redolent in trademark retro synth sounds, a delightful lead line cleverly mirrors the bass progression while counterpoint phrases add dynamism and club-friendly energy. Cleverly taking the themes inherent in the original, D-Nox & Beckers’ skill is take that sound and extend it into new and intriguing directions, serving to showcase their effervescent and polished sound in a magnificent EP.
