Love this whole vibe. You really took your sound to new dimensions with this set.

THE MUSIC
This set is a whole new vibe for me. Most of my performances are specifically for the club, so fall into that 127-135 kind of tempo. I recorded this set over a year into lockdown, and was very disconnected from sound systems at the time, struggling with my relationship with club music and dancefloors. This set reflects that mindset, at a faster tempo than I've ever worked at before (158!), yet with more of an at-home listening vibe than a dancefloor feeling. While exploring this new tempo, I was thinking deeply about our interconnectedness and capacity for growth and change. We lost Andrew Smith two days before I performed this set, and his presence is felt throughout the recording. 

track listing:
1. Radiance (for Andrew)
2. Nucleation
3. Scattering
4. Reduced
5. Semblance *
6. Cracked
7. Precipice
8. Constellated

* Semblance is a live version of a remix of Headless Horseman
everything else is written by me


THE GEAR
My live show is usually given on a stage, away from my home, so I use a carefully chosen selection of equipment that fits into an airplane. Typically, I perform with a sequencer, drum machine, 4 synthesizers, and 2-3 effects pedals. Recording a live set in my studio made it possible to use as many instruments as I have inputs, so I brought as much variety as I could to this set. While some of this gear is used throughout the set (say, the 808 BD), some of it only appears in a single track (like the Deckard's Dream). Here's the complete list of what I used to make the set.

sequencer —
 - Genoqs Machines Octopus

drum machines —
 - Elektron Analog RYTM mk 1
 - Roland TR-606 with Quicksilver 606 mod
 - Roland TR-808

effects —
 - Empress Phaser
 - Eventide Space
 - Moog Moogerfooger MIDI MuRF
 - Strymon BlueSky

synthesizers —
 - Black Corporation Deckard's Dream
 - Dreadbox Typhon
 - Korg Mono/Poly
 - MODOR NF-1M
 - Moog Minitaur
 - Moog Mother-32
 - Moog Voyager RME
 - Roland SH-101
 - Sequential Circuits Pro-One
 - Waldorf Blofeld
 - Waldorf Pulse2

recorded and mixed through —
 - Ableton Live

Donato Dozzy at The Labyrinth 2014.

Venue: Naeba Greenland, Gunma, Japan.

-----

To celebrate 20 years of building Labyrinths, we have decided to release one set from each of the last ten years. I've chosen ten timeless moments that both document the history of the event and provide a historical snapshot of underground electronic music over the past ten years.

We have chosen a broad range--from closing techno sets, to morning ambient sets, to experimental sets to close the night. Each set represents a different side of the event. Taken together, they present a portrait of a decade of music.

The Labyrinthの20周年を記念して、過去10年間を振り返り、それぞれの年からひとつのミックスをピックアップすることにしました。イベントの歴史を記録すると同時に、過去10年間のアンダーグラウンドエレクトロニックミュージックの歴史的なスナップショットを提供します。今聞いても色褪せない、タイムレスな極上のミックスをお楽しみください。

テクノのクロージングセットから、朝のアンビエントセット、そして夜を締めくくるエクスペリメンタルセットまで幅広いセレクトですが、どのセットもThe Labyrinthの欠かせない側面を表しており、ここ10年におけるエレクトロニック ミュージックの全容とも言えるでしょう。

Erika Boiler Room x Moogfest Live Show

“Vivid” and “otherworldly” are words sometimes used to try and describe @erikadotnet’s singular sound. Combining a fresh, forward-thinking approach with a strong connection to her roots and the wider scene, Erika has become an influential presence in the years since she was first gifted a TR-606 by BMG and invited to join Ectomorph. 

As a producer, her work is grounded in techno and electro, but often goes much further afield, incorporating rough textures and abstract kaleidoscopic experimentation to great effect.
Alongside long-time collaborators BMG and Amber, she runs the highly-regarded label Interdimensional Transmissions (@ithqdetroit). This platform has allowed her to delve deep on a sonic level through a string of impactful solo and collaborative releases, while also overseeing and contributing to legendary Detroit events Samhain, No Way Back and Return to the Source.

The majesty in Erika’s Patterns of Perception 111 comes as much from its restraint as it does from its vibrancy. Layers of rhythm and percussion swirl and elevate, revealing intricate new patterns at every juncture. And while Erika’s expert pacing and evocative atmospheres offer a sense of low-slung sophistication, a subtle, raw energy builds, bristling just under the surface.

The Sungate crew is joined by Dutch duo Artefakt , whose artistic vision has always been a tremendous inspiration to the label. In 2018, they released their single “Anora” on Sungate, which was part of a V.A featuring Exos, Hiver, and Conforce. We are delighted to feature them on this new show.
Sungate co-founder Moy Santana then takes the reins for the second half of the show, premiering Markus Suckut remix of one of his new upcoming tracks “Dubbisima”, that will see the light on Friday May 26th.

Observatory 055 - Sungate [with Artefakt & Moy Santana]

This hybrid DJ / Live Set was recorded in a yurt structure at the Freerotation Festival in Wales. This time my idea for the set was to take us all much further out, much deeper inside than the set from last year. A more disembodied experience. 

As I had done last year, I sat on the floor in front of the speakers to perform instead of behind them as a DJ normally does. This greatly enhanced my feeling of experiencing the set with the audience, dissolving the usual performer / audience divide. 
Below is the list of tracks that I played in addition to live improvisation using a eurorack modular system.

Many thanks to Steevio, the whole Freerotation crew and everyone who experienced it there with me.

Surgeon (ambient set) at Freerotation 2014

This week's podcast is an hour of deep techno from Italian maestro Donato Dozzy.

RA.105 Donato Dozzy

A key Detroit live act live from the RA Underground Stage at Movement 2018. We're back in 2019 with LSD, Umfang, Ryan Elliott and more.

RA Live - 2018.05.26 - Ectomorph, Movement Detroit, USA

Mike Parker, you would assume, is a perfectionist. His techno is meticulous, his grooves as hypnotic as any. Over the course of two decades he has honed in on his vision with ever increasing accuracy. He manages to get huge amounts of detail into his tunes that elevates them above purely functional material and lands him on labels like Semantica, Prologue and Tresor in both EP and LP format. 

The American is just as deep and powerful as a DJ, even without the use of kick drums. And that’s the path he follows over the course of one absorbing hour here, laying out a cinematic journey into space that is propelled by ambient synths and sci-fi motifs that set real scenes and have a real sense of narrative. At times it is blissful, at others more unnerving, but rarely will you hear an ambient mix as coherent and compelling as this.

Dekmantel Podcast 223 - Mike Parker

@forest-drive-west is from London, and he’s found a home on adventurous, bass-inclined labels like Livity Sound and Hidden Hawaii over the last few years. His music — a half-dozen mutant techno releases so far — speaks for itself. Here he presents an hour long mix ahead of his appearance at The Bunker at Market Hotel on Saturday April 13.

New Nous'klaer Radio by dear friend @Mattikk! As one of the hidden gems of the Dutch techno scene, he knows how to build a hypnotic groove like no other. If it weren't for the lockdown he would have joined us on Nous'klaer label parties this time of the year, luckily we can now at least share this mix. He'll be curating a newly launched @DelsinRecords sublabel called Mantis (links below), lots of those forthcoming bits of that included in the mix. Big thanks to Thijs!
