Woah. So one day you're minding your own business, walking around town. and then this mix pops up on soundcloud and you're like wuuuuuuut???? is this????

Je suis dans une grosse phase otaku/weeb en ce moment. Je gravite généralement vers les anime, manga et light novels qui ont un style artistique particulier, un univers engouffrant, ou qui dégagent une atmosphère décontenançante. Je lis Dorohedoro en ce moment, allez voir les dessins, c’est magique! Merci à Diego et Erika pour la suggestion!
Sinon, j’ai toujours été fan de cinéma. Je recherche les mêmes caractéristiques que mentionné plus haut. J’aime n’importe quel art qui me procure une sensation qu’on qualifierait d’uncanny en anglais. Quand tu sens le plancher se dérober sous tes pieds en comprenant plus-ou-moins pour quoi. J’aime aussi une touche d’humour subtil et coquin.

Those who know me know that I listen to a lot of different things all the time, and that I don’t tend to re-listen to something that many times, and I have trouble with concision. Some ultra-classics in my heart are The Cure, Deftones, Radiohead, Young Thug, Rosetta, Loma Prieta, Converge and, David Bowie and Angelo Badalamenti. If you want some kind of answer, I would say that the album that has the ultimate vibe is Pornography by The Cure. I was also semi-obsessed with Lovesexy by Prince recently.

Bon, allons-y dans le désordre. Emo, post-punk, ambient de couvertures ou sombre et troublante, old-school indie rock, post-hardcore, trap, grindcore, neocrust, screamo, musique d’anime mignonne, jazz lent et sinistre, shoegaze, dance-punk, goth rock, nu metal, folk triste, etc. etc.

Cette question est un peu difficile pour moi, parce que j’aime garder les sentiments bien ambigus. Cela étant dit, j’aime prendre les gens par surprise avec des changements angulaires, et j’essaie toujours de promouvoir l’expérimentation en live – essayer de nouvelles combinaisons de tracks risquées pour un maximum de propulsion, ou quoique ce soit! Je cherche aussi la contagion énergétique par la danse et le sautillage derrière les decks.

Well, if we’re dreaming, I would say a Pioneer mixer (for maximum fader slamming capability and mad effects), 3 CDJ 2000 Nexus and 2 Technics SL-1200, good monitors not too close to my ears and some space to jump around. I like the place as dark as possible, a little ambient color and some strobe action. Possibly a couple beers.
I would be perfectly fine with 2 CDJs, and maybe a turntable as a treat.

It’s so hard picking just one, since I rarely play the same track more than 2 or 3 times. Maybe Taking First by Henry Greenleaf (sped up a few BPMs) just to see the looks on people’s faces.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜?

I like to write – I sometimes do little poems and stories for my own benefit (with absolutely no intention of publishing or generally publicising and of it). If you know me and Peaky Beats' collaboration series BrainJuice then you'll know I also love horror movies – whether it's very serious allegory or goofy slime and gore. But really I guess anything can be considered art if it expresses something and you take care over it, from making dinner to writing music to making your bed. I find approaching things like that gives me happier days.

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

One of the things I like the most about dubstep etc. is the little psychedelic dubbed out sounds and abstract, acousmatic sound design and I think where that comes from is psychedelic bands like The Mars Volta and Jane's Addiction. I remember basically discovering delay through those bands as a teenager and I think my approach to sounds has grown from there. I still go back to TMV all the time. I also enjoy various forms of folk music and I often used to go to folk sessions in pubs.

𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜?

I see music as yes, an art, but I do it more like a craft. I enjoy the process of getting better at all the little technical things and realising the sounds in my head. I'm not trying to construct a meaning or tell a story or anything really – I'm trying to do a craft well, like a carpenter trying to make a good table. Some might say that sounds a bit dry but I'm satisfied with the endless fascination with the sounds themselves. What more do they have to mean?

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

I'm definitely a producer before being a DJ, so I first played live with an Ableton live setup, MIDI controllers etc. But nowadays I find it a bit contrived to try to do dance music “live” - my production method is inherently offline so trying to shoehorn it into real time doesn't make much sense for me. There's a real danger of doing something just to be doing something, whether it serves the music or not. I think I'm happiest with a simple DJ setup (digital and vinyl ideally) and a very small but very densely packed room.

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

Well I started releasing music as Vel and as part of BrainJuice during lockdown and I still haven't had a chance to play out, so there's a year's worth of my own productions that I'd be really keen to hear properly on a proper system! Just generally there's a whole year of releases I'm ready to bust out. I think Get 2 Get Her by Chavinski (Myor) is going to absolutely go off though, as is the whole of WAVE001 from Seventh Wave Sounds – loads of good UK Breakbeat from the last 6 months or so actually.

This week, we're in for a real treat — and just in time for 4/20! This is some of the headiest, trippiest stuff we've heard in a long time, courtesy of versatile micro-master @luminescu. 

Aside from being a lovely human being and fantastic DJ, Luminescu is also a highly talented producer, so after you've savored this mix be sure to treat yourself with a deep dive into his discography! 

Check out our bilingual interview with the man himself below:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

Spontaneously, I would say poetry and literature. It’s been a big part of my life and my academic studies. There are times when I read less, but I always have a book in progress. I recently came across a Quebec masterpiece, “Il pleuvait des oiseaux” by Jocelyne Saucier, an outstanding writer!

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

J’écoute vraiment de tout, ça dépend de l’humeur, de la saison. Mais si je devais définir ce que j’écoute le plus en dehors du studio ou des dance floors, je dirais en vrac, Reggae Dub (High Tone, Zenzile, Easy Star All Star), Stoner & Psychedelic Rock, Gypsy Jazz, Ambient (Mars Lazar), Jazz-hop/Boom-Bap (Eric Truffaz, Guru), Vienna Dub (Tosca), Psydub (Schulman) et mention spéciale pour l’album « Simple Things » de Zero7. 

Plus récemment j’écoute en boucle les émissions « Balance Show » (Spacewalker) et « My Favorite Things » (Psycut) de Music Is My Sanctuary : un joyeux mélange de jazz, soul, hip-hop, etc.

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

I want to make people smile and let go for a while. To achieve this, I choose (or create) friendly and bouncy, sunny songs. Or on the contrary, I like to go for evil and completely trippy sound design, to make the brain twist. With the right sound system, it ends up having the same effect!

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

Honnêtement, peu importe le DJ booth tant que j’ai de quoi jouer des morceaux en digital et mes disques vinyle. Par contre le lieu importe beaucoup pour moi. J’ai envie de retrouver cette ambiance unique qui caractérise les fêtes libres en extérieur. Un gros volume, les pieds dans le sable à côté d’une rivière, taper du pied sur un champ de cailloux, dans la forêt, ou encore sous un pont d’autoroute, je vous laisse imaginer! 

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

I’m really looking forward to trying out an Acidcore remix I did for the brilliant artist √Racine, which will be released on Ghost of the Shelf Records this summer. I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone and back to my first love, sound system tekno. Can’t wait for a big purring wall to really find out how this composition sounds!

Slippery tracks that seem to tumble into non-repetitive grooves, This mix has a crazy progression, mysterious, tense, and infectious the whole way thru!  Straight from Toronto, DJ Ceremonies has got a stacked vibrant mix that we're completely stoked about. Some real head-spinner ketamine-coated techy bass (Or bassy techno?)

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜?

I love an immersive experience. I love visual art, especially in galleries (or spaces acting like galleries), where it's installed in a way that's spatially aware. I like big textural things. I think it's neat the way we can create and project textures digitally now too.

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

Bully - Feels Like, Wavves & Cloud Nothings - No Life For Me, Erykah Badu - Baduizm, Alvvays - self titled, and DIANA - Familiar Touch are all albums I find myself coming back to lately.  Honestly lots of Phoebe Bridgers these days too. 

𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜?

I'm always trying to build towards the 🤯 moment where the bass is in your nose and you can't wipe the grin off your face and even when you close your eyes you can still somehow feel everyone else who's there.

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

OK - divisive but I fall squarely fall in the Pioneer mixer camp. So, 2 cdjs, either 2000 nexus or nexus 2, or xdj 1000s + a pioneer mixer. Sorry not sorry to all the xone die hards. I don't really play records and every so often I'll hit a spot where I'm wishing for three decks but I usually just play on two.

Booth monitor on the right, sub in the booth but not in a way that it turns the booth into a bass trap.

I like it when the lighting is dim and red (and not too strobe-y) and you can see the crowd enough but not too much, a lil hazy from fog, and a clip light on the mixer to see what you're doing in the darkness.

I also need some space behind the booth to dance and pile up my friend's coats 😆

I'm easy though, happy to play in most set ups :) 


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

I'm really looking forwards to hearing Anz - Loos in Twos (NRG) on a big system for the first time, whether it's me playing it or someone else. That whole release is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 all the way through and I'm so ready to greet it on a dance floor.

I've also been gettin a lot of mileage out of COLDR007 by Elmono. It's so bassy and spastic, it makes me wanna lose my mind in the best way. There's this one track, salad holder, and I'm really looking forward to playing it at the exact right moment and making someone's night.

Ceremonies for Inner Circle MTL - 2021/02/01

CIRCLECAST 010 ≁ Ceremonies

This week, we're beyond thrilled to bring you this mind-bender of a mix from our favorite esoteric soundboi, @marcmyst !

He's been a supporter of Inner Circle since day 1 and we feel v grateful to be sharing a rare mix from this man of mystery! Deep, sweaty, sensual dungeon energy, crafted with love.

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

To put it broadly: narrative and movement.

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

Techy proggy metal/jazz fusion, blackgaze, slowcore, emo, alternative hip-hop. typically the Soundcloud type 🙂

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

Tomfoolery, mischief, and mixed emotions

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

2 Technics, 2 CDJs, practically any mixer besides those of Pioneer, and a slightly dusty but intimate environment.

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

***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 ?

(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.

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.

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.

This week, we offer you a delightful voyage into some of the grooviest corners of electronic music, courtesy of the one and only @la_dolc_evita !

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.

Je suis particulièrement sensible aux arts visuels que ce soit la peinture, la photographie, les collages ou bien l’esthétique graphique d’une affiche de concert ou d’une pochette de disque.  
Je visualise d’ailleurs très souvent mes tracks et associe souvent certaines consonances musicales à des formes ou à des couleurs. 

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

Hormis la musique pour danser ? Difficile… Je danse littéralement sur tout type de musique et je ne différencie pas vraiment la musique sur laquelle je danse de celle que j’écoute ;) 
Les frontières sont devenues d’autant plus floues depuis que je ne sors plus danser en soirée. En ce moment je peux très bien apprécier une grosse track d’électro bien énervée assise confortablement dans mon salon autant que je peux me déhancher dans tous les sens sur du Beethov.

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

Je suis toujours remplie d’un fort sentiment d’adrénaline et de joie lorsque je joue devant un public. Je crois que j’essaie de partager cette excitation et cherche à communiquer des émotions fortes, du plaisir, de l’euphorie, avec cette idée d’emmener les danseurs dans un univers parallèle. 

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

Je suis sensible à l’esthétique visuelle des dj booths, sachant que c’est ce qu’on passe notre soirée à fixer en tant que danseur! J’aime lorsqu’il y a un certain effort de scénographie (de par l’éclairage ou de détails un peu loufoques). Ma vision d’une performance idéale se déroulerait dans une ambiance intimiste, immersive et déjantée. Pour moi la magie d’une soirée ne se situe pas seulement dans la qualité musicale mais aussi dans la mise en scène de l’espace avec l’idée qu’en arrivant, on ait le sentiment de mettre les pieds sur une autre planète. 
Il serait peut-être intéressant de revisiter le format classique du public qui fait face au dj booth (qui se trouve en avant). J’adorerais jouer dans un espace ou le dj booth est en plein milieu et pourquoi pas même carrément en arrière, dos au public, histoire de casser les repères traditionnels et d’observer ce qu’il se passe sur le dancefloor. 

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

Dur de choisir... Je vais y aller pour un gros classique : Enjoy the silence de Depeche Mode, remixé par Ewan Paerson. Euphorisant à souhait, j’ai hâte!

For our third installment, we bring you a no-frills, sub-shaking mix from Montreal DJ-producer @skinnybones!

CIRCLECAST is a series of recordings from friends, artists, DJs, and performers from our surrounding community, intended to inspire connections and rave memories. Like our live events, our podcast is separated into various series, each representing a different style/aesthetic. This mix falls under Somatic Spirit, our more vibey/eclectic offering. 

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

I love visual arts. I’m a graphic designer by day, and the perfect union between sound and images that are record sleeves pushed me into that career path.

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

J’ai un appétit musical assez omnivore, et je vais accrocher sur des trucs assez différents. Mais je dirais que le free-jazz est une musique qui ne cesserait de me nourrir. Alice Coltrane, Leroy Jenkins, Muhal Richard Abrams, Art Ensemble, Sun Ra et Pharaoh Sanders sont des musiciens et compositeurs que j’affectionne particulièrement.

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

With music, I try to install a sense of abandon and, if I’m lucky, communion. I am a pretty cerebral person, so I really crave being pulled back into my body. If the music is right, I eventually transcend my body and enmesh myself with others in an even larger organism.

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

This week, a momentous deep techno traversal from engimatic Ottawa DJ/producer/live performer @ruthgrader. He's also the funder of @mixedsignals-cc, a great platform covering key happenings in the underground electronic music community. 

This set debuts our 'side effects' sub-series, for more cerebral, deep, and downtempo-oriented sounds.

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

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

I'm really into photography, either analog and digital and really enjoy exploring empty spaces, outdoors and architecture and document my own moments from weird angles, shapes and textures. I have a professional background in Web Development and Design, so I always found myself seeking for ideas for projects and photography was always one of those ways to find creative forms of expression within myself, and also to get me outside. 

I also have a professional background in Artisan Baking and cooking, with that passion I always found that I was able to express a creative side of myself through food and the art of making it. I find it super important to always find any sort of creative output that will contribute to put our minds in trance and get something out of the box from it. 

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

When I was an early teenager, in the late 90s, I got heavily involved in the Punk and Hardcore community in South America (where I'm from) and played in many bands, touring toured all over until I moved to Canada in 2009. I'm still a punk and but that was my world basically, so there are some bands and albums that I still carry with me and listen every day, some older than others. Here's one from Spain:

Ictus - Impervm 12"
https://open.spotify.com/album/3UsbhfBCykXDVDIfUBcFya?si=eYVmY2TMTZC-DkO8cyeLnA

I also got really involved in Hip-hop in the late 90s, specifically in more creative and political related content based artists from South America. There are many but one in specific that really shaped me, I think that you should listen to her:

Anita Tjoux - 1977
https://open.spotify.com/album/3ZhTbUZNobDXuzcYWGzxA3?si=mlKNN5ywQ8iUGbczdpS3yQ

And something I'm listening while writing this, good for zipping coffee on a cold -20 Saturday morning:

Karate - Unsolved LP

When I started, I was doing live sets using hardware only, either playing shows at bars, DIY spaces or clubs. The settings for those live sets were always different and unexpected because when you do live sets like that, you usually don't have much control of where are you going to set your gear and where exactly are you going to play, sometimes behind the DJ booth, sometimes besides, in the front or even on top of the CDjs. It was until recently that I started DJing and found myself in the DJ booth. Both experiences are different and equality interesting and each night is different from the next one. 

I personally enjoy playing small dark spaces with a couple of probe lights and sweaty walls, at floor level. Not into the big DJ booth on top of the dancers because I should not be the focus, they are.

OOOOoookay big mix coming in. @wavesofhoney sent us a mix full of dense stompers and cyber bass grooves that makes us wanna get loose. Expect a ton of switch-ups and multigenre syncopated beats for the next hour. Highly recommended!

Radars of the Lost Sub is our bass-focused series. Hope you can tune in and enjoy!

 I have always wanted to venture into using more cdjs but there usually are only 2. Ideally there would be 4 cdjs (can't guarantee I will touch the 4th though), moody lights and plenty of room for my friends behind the booth. Smoking allowed also.

🔥 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.

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

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.

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

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