***INTERVIEW BELOW // ENTREVUE CI-DESSOUS***

A real banger of a mix this week from our friend @symplectic !

Simon is one of those heads who is always finding big new ways to contribute to the scene. Infamous for his high-bpm, quick cuttin' DJ sets, he's also co-founder/resident of the Toulouse-based @moontripasso and co-founder/co-owner for @vaguesrecords. 

All aboard the Frapcore Express 🚂💨

≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁

Quelle forme d'art, autre que la musique, apprécies-tu spécialement ?

Je m'intéresse beaucoup au cinéma et pendant cette dernière année à la maison j’ai pu bien investir le domaine… Mes films préférés étant bien évidemment les deux OSS117. Sinon en fonction de l’humeur je peux regarder de tous les styles même si j’ai quand même un faible pour les scénario inspirés de faits réels. La plus grosse claque récente que j’ai prise étant sur la mini série “When they see us” (“Dans leur regard”) qui raconte (l’histoire vraie) d’une enquête montée de toute pièce accusant délibérement à tort 5 ados noirs d’Harlem pour viol.

Hormis la musique pour danser, vers quels albums, artistes ou styles gravites-tu ?

Depuis l'adolescence, je suis passionné de rap francais. Contrairement à la musique électronique j’écoute très rarement du rap pour "m'ambiancer". Je suis très tourné vers ce qu’on appelle le “rap conscient". Ça peut être du rap avec un engagement politique/social comme on retrouve dans les textes de La Canaille, Medine, Vin’s; ou des textes sombres qui racontent le mal de vivre, comme Furax, Dooz Kawa ou pour moi un des meilleurs niveau écriture, Lucio Bukowski. 

Que tentes-tu de communiquer lorsque tu joues ou produis ta musique ? 

Lorsque j’ai commencé à mixer et que j’ai monté mon asso Moontrip à Toulouse (France), j’ai pris l’habitude de faire les closing des soirées qu’on organisait. En général c’était des sets d’une heure, la dernière heure où on donne tout. Le but étant de clôturer sur un set énervé où tout le monde se déchaîne avant la fin de la soirée (ou le début de l’after). J’aime particulièrement ce genre de set :) 

Décris-nous le DJ booth ou le scénario d'une performance idéale selon toi. 

Une des performances que je rêverai de voir c’est [KRTM] vs Twan en hybrid set !

Un morceau que tu as hâte de faire tourner sur un gros système en contexte post-COVID ?

Notre ami Savino nous envoie son mix tout droit d’Espagne. Il fait partie de collectifs qui font vibrer la scène madrilène comme @possible-others ou encore les  @chineurs-de-madrid , et organise sa propre soirée du monde intitulée @gastemaus . Savino tend son oreille à tous les styles de musique, et a décidé de préparer un set haut en énergie pour notre répertoire Spirale !

(Traduction française à suivre)

¿𝐐𝐮é 𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚 𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐚 𝐦ú𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚? 
El arte visual combinado con la experimentación sonora me llama mucho la atención y realmente me parecen 2 disciplinas que se complementan a la perfección. De hecho me ha influido mucho el festival LEV de Gijón. Como artistas podría decirte Refik Anadol y Electawu. Por otro lado, y gracias a que estoy experimentándolo ahora, el arte de la agricultura urbana me está haciendo crear una conexión con mis ancestros y además de conectarme de una manera muy pura con nuestra tierra.

¿𝐂𝐮á𝐥 𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐮 á𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐦, 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐨 𝐦ú𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐦ú𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐝𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞?
Es muy difícil elegir esto porque suelo escuchar muchos géneros diferentes constantemente.  Pero si tuviera que decidir un sonido que me eriza la piel, te diría que el sonido de música celta (Gwendal, Jhetro Tull...) Es un género que he seguido desde pequeño y que me ha llevado a tocar instrumentos como la flauta travesera. Como artista/álbum me quedo con uno de los preferidos de mi colección: Djrum - Portrait With Firewood. 

¿𝐇𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐨 𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐚 𝐭𝐮 𝐩ú𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐨 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯é𝐬 𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐮 𝐦ú𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐲/𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬?
Vivimos en un mundo saturado de estímulos, de estrés…en el que muchas veces nos olvidamos del valor de las cosas, de dónde venimos y hacia dónde vamos. A través de la música se pueden estimular sensaciones que tenemos aletargadas, que pueden influir positivamente en nuestra manera de afrontar la vida. Siempre que toco intento transmitir algo a la gente que tengo delante. Al final es eso de lo que se trata, pero siempre intento ir más allá para intentar transmitir un viaje musical que vaya más allá de los géneros y el tiempo.

𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐝𝐞 𝐃𝐉 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚 (𝐨 𝐜𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢ó𝐧 𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐜𝐢ó𝐧), 𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐨 𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚 𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐨 𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐨.
Si tuviera la oportunidad de hacer una sesión de más de 3h, que es lo que considero para hacer un verdadero viaje, 2 Technics, 3 cdjs y una Formula Sound. Empecé a practicar las mezclas a 3 canales desde hace 3 años y creo que podría llegar a considerarse un pseudo live ya que estás constantemente cogiendo elementos independientes que te interesan a través de las diferentes frecuencias que te permite aislar un mixer.

¿𝐐𝐮é 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐚 𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐦á𝐬 𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢ó𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐜𝐢ó𝐧 𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐮é𝐬 𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐚?
Por suerte ya he podido tocar varias veces en época post pandémica y justo el sábado pasado puse el Special Request - Wallabies y la pista se vino abajo. Es una puta locura de track que tiene una energía brutal, en el que puedes distinguir 2 partes perfectamente diferenciadas que sin duda te van a hacer sudar en la pista.

@sisterzo serves up a rhythmic feast with snares that coil and slither through a steady buffet of bassy quiver, hot on the heels of Sunday's Full Moon on the Leo - Aquarius axis. This rare Blue Moon occurred at 29º, a critical degree symbolizing immense transition, so allow this mix to empower you for change afoot. If you are able to be with the waning moon tonight, let this be your soundtrack as you immerse yourself in her glow. 

@sisterzo is a fire DJ, producer, writer, and co-founder of @untuckcollective, committed to elevating marginalized voices through music and multimedia artistic expressions.

An Inner Circle favourite, Choozey has presented yet another entry into the intricacy and depth of her storytelling abilities. Let yourself be transported into what the artist describes as " an imaginary space partly based in reality and in fantasy." With softening lullaby songs mixed with noisy peaks, and a decent number of wubs, this thoughtfully prepared mix is a great entry into our Somatic Spirit series. 

Thanks so much Destiny! For interested readers, full interview with the artist below:

What art form(s) do you enjoy aside from music?
D: I enjoy all kinds of art (film, painting, literature, survival etc) but in terms of practice my other main modes of expression are writing, speaking, cartomancy (the Tarot of Marseilles, specifically) and astrology.

What’s your favourite album, artist, or music to listen to that isn’t dance music?
D: All music is dance music - imo - it's just a matter of 'how' or 'if' one dances to it.
This year the albums Anything Can’t Happen by Dorothea Paas and the forthcoming Highs In The Minuses by Charlotte Cornfield are some of my absolute favourite listens.

Is there anything in particular that you try to communicate to your audience through your music and/or performances?
D: I’m usually trying to tell a specific story for each setting and audience I play for. I try to use a wide palette of styles and textures to tell rich stories so I may (hopefully) reach more/different sorts of people. I think, for me, perfect dance floor moments only ever occur through chance and live improvisation; by remaining open to any kind of influence or possibility at any time. And, of course, by playing The Hits - in new contexts.

Describe your perfect DJ booth (or other performance set up), in terms of both the gear and the environment.
D: Toronto’s Best in Town sound system in a field under the moon, stars and morning light.

What track are you most excited to play in your first post-corona live gig?
D: Not sure I know when or what post-corona is but right now it’s a tie between Forbidden Fruit by DJ Pacifier and La Macarena.

What  art form(s) do you enjoy aside from music? 

- Poetry 
- Graffiti  
- Design
- Digital art

What’s your favourite album, artist, or music to listen to that isn’t dance music?

Ryo Fukui - Sceneries or Cesaria Evora - Cabo Verde 

Is there anything in particular that you try to communicate to your audience through your music and/or performances?

This might sound over heard but what I do and try to communicate is to just enjoy what you do and not to overthink it or stress too much about it, this will lead to a happier life. Who doesn’t want to have fun, to escape one’s day to day? 

Describe your perfect DJ booth (or other performance set up), in terms of both the gear and the environment.

In my utopia, I would say it doesn’t matter the gear or the location, as long as both aren’t unplayable. That being said, the perfect DJ booth is surrounded by dancers/music lovers. The perfect gear is a gear that allows you to do your set without technical complications, other than that I think DJs need to be able to play on almost anything. 

What track are you most excited to play in your first post-corona live gig?

All the tracks of our [recently released] Kizi 404 vinyl.

A nomadic spirit tracing her ancestry in the frozen Arctic and mountains of Translyvlania,  Claire is one of the most globe-trotting artists Montreal's electronic scene has to offer. In fact, she just recently concluded a wide-ranging summer tour schedule that included musical jaunts in Switzerland, Germany, British Columbia, and the Honduran Bay Islands. From Piknic Electronik to the Techno Parade, and from MUTEK to Club Der Visionaere, Claire’s music is shaking up dancefloors all over the world. 

With several EPs on vinyl and has released on labels Conceptual, Monoclap, Archipel and more. A bit of a gear junkie, Claire has a small but mighty arsenal of synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, and drum machines. Something just flows when those machines come alive and for 2022, she is shifting her focus to live performance. She's also been hard at work preparing to launch her own label, Planète Secrète. Stay tuned!

Inner Circle are proud to present our new project CIRCLECAST. 

CIRCLECAST is a series of recordings from friends, artists, DJs, and performers from our surrounding community, intended to inspire connection and memories for the raves that we were able to host and attend regularly before this year. Our plan is to have a mix series, guest interviews, livestreams, and more.  

For our first instalment to welcome in the 2021 new year, we bring you this slammin' techno journey from Montreal DJ-producer s.talbot (@d_nrgy).

Like our live events, which seek to represent the diversity happening in today's underground dance music, our mix series is separated by the names of the events we would host pre-covid, with different genres and styles represented in each one. This mix falls under RIFT, our more techno / industrial-focused offering. 

We'll be posting mixes once to twice a month, usually with a mini interview (French, English, Bilingual) exploring the creative mind of the featured artist. Big thank you to s.talbot for letting us into his world -- have a look below!

************************************

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺(𝘀) 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰?

Birdsong! 

𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗮 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿, 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺𝘀, 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀-𝘁𝘂 ?

J’ai eu la chance de découvrir la techno et l’ambient au cours de raves – ce qui m’a vraiment inculqué que les deux styles, ambient et techno, existent sur 2 faces distinctes d’une même dimension. L’intensité de leurs énergies sont extrêmement rapprochées, et partagent des destinations semblables, pour moi. 

Dans ce sens, je suis extrêmement attiré par la discographie de zoviet-france, groupe proto- ambient des années 80/90. Une musique faite maison, non-linéaire, qui représente l’expérience d’un moment - difficilement descriptible. 

(Shouting at the Ground; Mohnomishe; Vienna 1990) 

𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱/𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀?

Most of the dance tracks I play, I have listened to over and over again alone - which often has the effect of transporting my mind to a strobe flashing, time deprived space of uninterrupted dance. And when I get that feeling, it’s usually a good sign that it’s the kind of track I’ll want to share. This feeling usually revolves around perceptions of freedom and connection with the people around me.

𝗗é𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘀-𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗝 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗰é𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼 𝗱'𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗱é𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗶.

Je pense que la disposition idéale se situe dans le retrait de la présence visuelle de la personne performante (sauf si cette présence est artistiquement requise). Un arrangement qui permet une meilleure concentration (ou une absence de déconcentration) relative à la source physique du son. Ça, je pense, c’est une manière de tirer le maximum de l’expérience. Je le perçois d’une manière similaire à éteindre un écran pour écouter une production. En enlevant le support visuel, on active des capacités auditives sur lesquelles on ne peut pas se concentrer lorsque nos yeux sont occupés à surveiller la source superficielle du son. Sans cette déconcentration, l’esprit est plus libre pour comprendre, cerner, aller plus loin dans ce qui est audible. On se perd moins dans des détails qui ne comptent pas, ultimement.

🔥 ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ: ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇɴᴛꜱ ʜɪɢʜʟʏ ꜰʟᴀᴍᴍᴀʙʟᴇ 🔥

For our sixth installment of Circlecast, Berlin-based @isolatedmaterial hits us with this absolute slammer of a mix. Overflowing with phat breaks and heavy electro artillery, it's a fast-paced rocket-fueled journey from start to finish. 

Peep some wise words from the man in our mini-interview below!

[This mix falls under 𝕽𝖎𝖋𝖙, our sub-series focused on the heavier/darker tones of electronic music]

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦(𝐬) 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜?

Besides music I'm mostly into visual arts like photography, collages or generative art.

One artist that I really like is the experimental filmmaker Pedro Maia, who really pushes the boundaries of medium, particularly in his use of analog film.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐦, 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭, 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜?

Lately I've been really enjoying Sway EP by YSI.  It's a 4 tracker that spans across multiple moods and genres (ambient, indie rock, EBM...) but still feels very coherent as a whole. The production work on it is amazing, I especially love the processing on the different guitar parts in the title track. 

𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝/𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬?

Generally when it comes to production, I try to make a point of not overthinking every step I take in order to avoid over-producing something, although this is something I still struggle with a bit.

I take a slighly different approach when it comes to DJing however, where I really try to "narrate a story" for the listener. When building a tracklist, I try to make sure the set has various sections with different moods, genres or BPMs which I then assemble together in a way that hopefully doesn't feel too contrived.

I like to be able to play both digital and vinyl in a set, so I guess having 2 CDJs as well as 2 turntables would be ideal (or just 2 turntables with time-coded vinyls, which is what I have at home). Mixer wise, I prefer to keep it fairly straight forward - a 2-channel mixer with EQ and filter is definitely enough for me.

I think it's important to be able to make the most of what I have available, and I find that a simple setup like this really forces me to get creative. That being said, I'd love to experiment in the future with more with effects and maybe 3 deck mixing.

Hard to say given all the amazing stuff I discovered during the lockdown, but I would have to go with Never Crash by Maelstrom.
