Techno has always been about futurism, but in Russell E.L. Butler's (@russellelbutler) hands it becomes a vehicle for a more inclusive, communal and positive now. The Oakland based producer pairs their stripped back and powerful rhythms with uplifting sound design to make for music that is both defiant yet welcoming to all. They have done so on Left Hand Path, Mister Saturday Night Records and Spectral Sound since 2015, with 2018's 'The Home I'd Build For Me And All My Friends' album being a particularly standout work that showcased Butler's mastery of their machines.

In the studio, Butler is most at home manipulating modular machines and making propulsive techno, but as a DJ they expire wider sonic terrain. That's demonstrated on this week's mix, which begins with dystopian atmospheres and heavy rhythms that eventually break out into jerking EBM, bleak cold wave and mechanical house sounds. It's a brilliantly taught and tense selection with a careful smattering of human vocals that keeps it rooted in an approachable realism.

Dekmantel Podcast 324 - Russell E.L. Butler

@gwenans' rise through the ranks has always been driven by a love for the music. She hasn't produced any big breakout hit and never dreamt of headlining on a super-sized main stage. Instead, she has quietly honed her craft playing at intimate London parties like Toi Toi and her own Hi Fi, made a successful move to Berlin where she fomented close ties with cultured crews like The Ghost and impressed with her pitch-perfect sets as a resident at London's Pickle Factory as well as the beloved Freerotation in her native Wales. Her sound is rooted in house and techno that is deep and kinetic, but it can stretch way beyond and into a world of leftfield electronics and heady ambient. 

On this week's mix, Gwenan does what she does best: establishes a groove your body can't resist then slowly tweaks and builds on it for 80 minutes. There are never any big left turns or flashy tracks, just a well-sequenced, neatly mixed and super-tight selection of irresistibly good records. Some go heavy on the bass, some twist and turn on a cosmic synth and some have a machine-made soul that warms you to your core.

Dekmantel Podcast 357 - Gwenan

Nueen has been mad busy in the last two years. The Barcelona-based Mallorcan has put out three albums of beautifully quiet and unhurried ambient. Each one has unfolded with its own intimate sense of narrative and showcased deft craftsmanship with both synth and guitar. The tunes drawn on the atmosphere of Nueen's home island so fits in with what you might call Balearic, but very much on its own terms. They are warm and gentle but underpinned with a melancholy that makes them all the more engaging. 

There is plenty of that on show across the opening of this week's podcast. Roomy arrangements are detailed with only the wispiest of pads but slowly a rhythm begins to emerge. It's dubby and dreamy and transports you out to sea on a sonic life raft that eventually sinks to the ocean floor. From there you roll along on supple drums, wispy pads drift by and shards of light pierce the surface. It is a perfect soundtrack to slowly awaken your soul on a lazy morning.

Circoloco Radio 342 - DJ Deep

@dannydaze has proven incredibly hard to pin down since he first emerged. After starting down a path that very quickly took him to the best clubs in the world but off the back of a sound that wasn't really his, he has managed to rewrite perceptions. After deciding to do things his own way, at his own pace, he is now known for what he really loves: techno, electro and IDM. Just recently he continued his collaborative work with Brazilian RHR on four dark, gritty and evocative cuts on OmniDisc, and has more music on the way soon on Schematic Records. 

This mix hints at what to expect from that EP, says Danny. "Due to the current conditions, I decided to go with chill zone session for this one mixed live with a bunch of the styles that influenced me over the last 20 years. Went a bit more trip-hop/IDM/electro with it which points to the direction the upcoming EP and album later in the year. Hope everyone has a nice week." So strap in for two freewheeling hours of interplanetary sonics, churning rhythms and otherworldly cinematics that will start your week right.

Dekmantel Podcast 286 - Danny Daze

DJ & Producteur Radio résidant dans la charmante ville de Die dans la Drôme.

Complètement fondu de musique jusqu'à la moelle, très tôt nourri au hip hop, aux musiques électroniques, à tous les styles de jazz, de funk, de rock, de bass music, de breakbeats, à la musique du Monde et à toutes sortes de fusions et de mélanges, je me suis rapidement retrouvé avec des platines entre les mains et une pile de disques de plus en plus volumineuse qui m'ont naturellement amené à vouloir partager, sensibiliser, cultiver et faire danser.

Au fil des années, jouant dans les soirées aux côtés de mes copains KaMiKaZe, Låxe, Romain Guitet ou Goldi, j'aime refléter mes influences très larges dans mes DJ sets. Ayant grandi à Paris et passé une partie de mon temps à Berlin, la vie nocturne et les clubs m'ont aussi donné un coup de foudre pour la techno et la house que j'aime tout spécialement jouer en tant que DJ.

Aujourd'hui résidant dans le sud de la France, entre Provence et montagne, je continue "au vert" d'assouvir ma passion musicale en produisant avec mon compère Goldi l'émission "BACK 2 BACK" et, en solo à partir de 2024, l'émission "APÉRO STÉRÉO" sur RDWA 107.5 FM (Diois, Drôme) et de jouer de temps à autres dans les bars et les soirées locales.

****************** [EN] ******************

DJ & Radio Producer based in the charming town of Die in Drôme, France.

A music fanatic to the core, I was brought up at an early age on hip hop, electronic music, all styles of jazz, funk, rock, bass music, breakbeats, world music and all kinds of fusions and mixes. I soon found myself with turntables in my hands and an ever-growing stack of records, which naturally led me to want to share, educate, cultivate and get people dancing.

Over the years, playing at parties alongside my buddies KaMiKaZe, Låxe, Romain Guitet and Goldi, I like to reflect my wide-ranging influences in my DJ sets. Having grown up in Paris and spent part of my time in Berlin, the nightlife and club scene also led me to fall in love with techno and house, which I especially enjoy playing as a DJ.

Now living in the south of France, between Provence and mountains, I continue to indulge my musical passion "au vert", producing the "BACK 2 BACK" radio show with my mate Goldi and, solo from 2024, the "APÉRO STÉRÉO" radio show on RDWA 107.5 FM (Diois, Drôme), as well as playing the occasional gig in local bars and parties.
