DJ Mixes / Live Recordings

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this @ednamartinezdj . Made a mix with songs that say more than anything I could write really.....Going to play two songs I wrote a while ago, one which I performed live in January 2020 at the Museum of Memory & Human Rights in Santiago and another which was made shortly after, they're both influenced by what was taking place in Chile at the time which mirrors in some ways what we are seeing in Colombia now. As some of you may know, since the end of april in Colombia there have been more than 2,000 cases of police violence against protesters, 33 victims of eye injuries and more than 40 civilians killed by the police. Since the beginning of the year more than 60 rights defenders have been assasinated, and among them 20 were indigenous leaders. Since 2016, over 400 human rights defenders have been killed. In all this darkness, there may be some hope that the protests can create meaningful change. Last Sunday, Chileans elected a new group of citizens who will write a new constitution for the country. This was one of the core demands of the huge protests of 2019/2020.  It will be the first anywhere in the world to be written by an equal number of men and women and it will replace the constitution that has been in place since the years of the military dictatorship.  The only reason this moment of hope is possible in Chile is because of the incredible social movements that rose up to demand change. As I've said elsewhere, the courage and determination of Chilean students, activists, protesters, writers, artists has been astounding and they have/are shifted/shifting the political landscape and will continue to do so. In the past month I've heard stories of Colombian protesters taking cues from Chilean protesters and beautiful solidarity between Colombians and Palestinians also. We have so much to learn from each other. May this solidarity and interconnectedness bring us better days and in the meantime may music sustain us and nourish us. Much love to you all ♡♡♡♡ - May 22nd 2021

Second instalment in the Dummy Hand mix series comes from David J Bull, known across Wales and the Southwest through the infamous TEAK parties as well as his recent tape out on DKA featuring razor sharp EBM cuts. This mix is definitely in a similar ilk, rare, old, freaky and heavy EBM all across this special two hour mix.

DUMMY MIX 002: David J Bull

David J Bull is the co-founder of the infamous TEAK parties which have brought the likes of DJ Sprinkles, Young Marco, Andrew Weatherall, Sassy J and many more to the Welsh capital over the last decade. David recently released a Belgian new beat inspired EP on the Atlanta tape label DKA Records and is set to release more new music over the coming months. As a DJ, David is best known for playing anywhere between post-punk and EMB but is equally happy to indulge in everything from Italo, Trance and House. This mix for Carpe Noctem features slow paced chug and low slung synth pop sleeve for a mix that slowly builds in energy, weirdness and chuginess!

The fourth mix in our series comes from none other than David James Bull. Originating from Plymouth, Dave has been a key player in the renowned Cardiff based Teak parties, as well as being involved in Studio 89's intricate disco's and their newly formed record label.

Mr Bull is no stranger to the scene and his events have been highly regarded across the country, and have included some of our favourite artists such as Daniele Baldelli & Young Marco. We have been lucky enough to have seen Dave perform in Plymouth and Bristol and it is fair to say his music selection is second to none.

With Studio 89's fifth year anniversary party fast approaching, it gives us great pleasure to present Dave’s mix to you. Expect moody Post-Punk/EBM sounds, Italo relief, luscious house vibes and a Savages track for good measure. Enjoy!

Here’s some ultra-spatial leftness from basement friends – venus on
the half shell. 

Intensely transfixing selections from pressing play, carving out
a perfectly detached and immersive listen. Organic + mechanic energies fuse
throughout; all tainted with a sense of dream state otherworldliness. Dream
baby dream!

Especially lovely to have Dave and Esther bring the first mix of
the year together. Hope you enjoy.

Last year David contributed his epic 'Dream Terran' to our Free Download Series. After putting this out we asked if he would be keen on putting together a New Beat inspired mix for this series and here it is...

This 2 hour recording is a mix of New Beat, New Wave, Disco / Not Disco and Synth Pop. It feels quite special to us, as it is the sound we would regularly hear early doors at David's TEAK parties. In fact, listening to this mix we both immediately said how it felt like walking downstairs into TEAKS home - The Jacobs Antique Market Basement.

It was through attending these parties that much of our musical taste was shaped, and still today we regularly reminisce about some of the sets we witnessed at TEAK. So it feels great to finally have David representing the crew on our Podcast Series with a typically distinctive set.

We hope to be back soon X
