IA MIX 171 Burnt Friedman

Delusions

If you checked out our show on BBC Radio 1 last month you may have noticed something curious about the tracklist for Nina Kraviz's guest mix: eight of the 17 cuts she selected were by Bjarki. Kraviz used the mix to showcase the upcoming releases on her label Trip, and since it launched last year, Bjarki has emerged as its brightest talent. So far we've had just a taste of the Icelandic artist's style. His recent EP, Arthur And Intergalactic Whales, featured the wonderfully mindless "I Wanna Go Bang," which is shaping up to be one of the biggest techno tracks of 2015, and the more subtle but no less powerful "Orange Juice Man." His tracks for the Trip compilations De Niro Is Concerned and The Deviant Octopus were more functional, but "Revolution" and "Polygon Pink Toast" were both quietly unique. As strong as Bjarki's music has been so far though, it's his vast quantity of unreleased tracks that confirms just how bright his future could be. A brief biography on his Facebook page describes him as "a very low profile, stay-at-home audiophile," and below Bjarki says that it's a total necessity for him to bang tracks out quickly. This frees him to shoot off in many different directions while maintaining the rock-solid low-end that's become one of his trademarks. 

You'll see what we mean on RA.484. The mix is exclusively made up of unreleased Bjarki tracks, some of which will come out on Trip, some of which will never be released. The strikingly diverse hour takes in jacking, Chicago-influenced cuts, deadly serious deep techno, and a moment of hardcore revivalism that, like Bjarki himself, we're sure you'll be hearing more of. 


What have you been up to recently? 

We have been working on a music video for "I Wanna Go Bang." Very exited to see the final outcome. 

How and where was the mix recorded? 

In my basement in Copenhagen, where most of the tracks were made. 

Tell us about the idea behind the mix. 

It's a selection of tracks from earlier this year. All unreleased, some will be out on Trip and others might never see a release, who knows. I don't think all my music needs to be released. Sharing it with my Trip family members and see them playing it live is enough. 

The opening track in the mix is something that got me inspired after talking to a friend who is a ballet dancer. She told me about the serious steps ballerinas can go through. It sounded like a lot of pain and tears. I ended up writing a short fiction about a traumatised ballerina. She is in deep water, almost drowning, building up her strength and control as her movements are slow, struggling to dance her way up to the surface to breath. 

Do you tend to produce quickly? The volume of unreleased music in the mix would suggest so. 

Yeah I make music quite quickly. It's just like a photo, a moment of excitement that I capture and if I like it, it's done and I bounce it. Sometimes I make music right before a show and then just play it. Every time I spend too much time on it I end up getting really bored and lose the feeling. 

Tell us about the techno scene in Iceland. 

There has always been a lot of music coming from Iceland. There aren't many clubs in Reykjavik, mostly bars. There is one venue that has clubbing standards called Paloma, where we did our first Trip party. Maybe with the trip label we generated a buzz in the scene. Our cave party earlier this summer and my latest release caught a lot of attention.

What are you up to next? 

Learning more about composition, and working with real musicians. It's seems like a right moment for a deeper musical knowledge. I really need it to be able to create the music I want. So studying is definitely up next.

Newworldaquarium -  The Games That We Play

JD Walsh is an immensely talented multi-disciplinary artist based in Atlanta, Georgia. His excellent visual artwork, mostly sculpture and design, gives some added context to his musical compositions as Shy Layers, whose excellent self titled debut LP was without doubt one of last years finest releases. The product of decades of experimentation, exploring sound and quietly releasing tracks online, from the first note to the last ‘Shy Layers’ is a record of beautifully engaging and visually evocative compositions that could be broadly described as Balearic pop. There's a delicate balancing act taking place within his work that perhaps owes much to his career in visual arts. If you’ve not yet had a chance to experience this little sonic gem then I urge you to give it a spin.

Whilst the vocoded vocals on his debut LP are as much an ode to Daft-Punk and Kraftwerk, and their are many other notable influences throughout his solo work including elements of Ethio-Jazz, chill wave and 80s synth pop, one of the most obvious reference points for his excellent self titled debut is African music and specifically the guitar playing style of Highlife (see ''Too Far Out’’ and ‘’Bees and Bamboo’’ for fine examples). Highlife emerged as a direct descendent of West African Palm-Wine music whose earliest exponents, no doubt inspired by the native alcoholic beverages stimulating properties, gathered to play guitars thought to have arrived courtesy of Portuguese traders. Combining their local melodies with Caribbean Calypso the upbeat approach was very popular in the 50s and 60s before it’s more Jazz orientated sister genre known as Highlife took its place.

And it is this influence which Walsh has chosen to focus on with his delightful addition to the Métron Musik Mixtape series - a barnstorming adventure through some of his favourite African music, packed full of beautiful vocals, African guitars and some serious groove. Yet Walsh's melodic pop sensibilities are written all over this mixtape and it’s no surprise that his selections revolve around some of the most infectious pan-African melodies. Its a joyous experience, full of sunshine and positivity sure to put a broad smile on your face.

We were very excited to learn that there is a new record on it's way but if you’ve not yet heard his excellent debut head over to the consistently superb Hamburg based label Growing Bin Records to pick up a vinyl copy and support both artist and label. For the time being let Walsh guide you through some of Africa's most effervescent music.

Demdike Stare live in the Boiler Room

Artist: Smagghe & Cross 
Title: 1819
Label: Offen Music 
Release date: 27.01.2020 
Format: 12“ LP

This second Lp on Offen is an ajar window overlooking the phantasmagoric world of Smagghe & Cross, a remembrance of days that never were. The music is sparse, the past is forever : ghosts of industries are conjured through the English countryside, fading memories play static with an idea of romance, the sun breaks through the iron clouds. A record free of uncouth nostalgia but laced with ethereal melancholia.

Dane Close - "Christoph Cappuccino takes 12 inches in the Sameheads basement"

There was a sign which hung above the door in the waiting room as he sat patiently to be called for his appointment. The receptionist had been kind upon his entry and had offered him a cup of tea before he sat down. She'd wished him happiness, sent him down the corridor and along the hallway to wait for his turn. Anyway, back to the sign... It read rather condescendingly "hope you are well". It was a message used everyday all over the world, the reality of the phrase meant very little indeed, in fact it was about as insincere as could be yet here he was staring at the words once again. 

RIP Swirl is back on Public Possession with a new EP. Abstract glitchy electronics and hip hop inspired skits comprised what is an interesting mash up of sorts on a new 12" release forthcoming.

"When I received the invitation to participate as a resident of Radio TNP, it gave me the opportunity to share a little bit of what I like in music. I immediately imagined which paths to take to showcase artists I admire. Today, with great honor, I myself sign episode 5 of Seiva with a mix after thorough research, with serious and striking breaks and downtempo beats. It is my way of thanking TNP for the space they provided. Enjoy this trip with me." - Fruno, TNP resident
