Which artist has influenced you the most?

- Too many to mention, I get loads of inspiration from a lot of people of different genres of music, be it electronic or rock/guitar music/classical. For electronic, I would ultimately say my biggest influence/inspiration would be Richard.D.James. He's just fearless and totally true to himself and his sound, immensely talented individual. His music has got me through so much in my life and I am eternally indebted. I think my music has alot of the spirit of what he's doing but hopefully it's not plagiarized or a ripoff, I think I've found my own sound over the years.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- I have a new album coming out late feb/march on Anil Lal's Altered Sense label, it's a double with alot of breakbeat and early 90s UK Hardcore spirit. There is also a split ep I have coming out with InkiPak (Jon) on Wavefunction which will be great to put out. Also a follow up ep on 030303 to my 'Polysynthesis' ep I had out with them. There may also be further material coming out on Furthur Electronix at some point, currently just archiving/stockpiling new material for that.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- Mainly the ones I've released on, kindred spirits and a huge influence on me. Different people on different labels, but they are all wonderful, cool people who are easy to get along with 030303, Furthur Electronix, Brokntoys, La Beauté Du Négatif, Withhold etc. All wicked labels with so much talent on them.
Special shout out and respect to Mateo, Anwar, Anil Lal, Steijn, Neil Fulcrum 4. The list is too long to write here.

What inspires you now to create music?

- Can be anything, art, music, film, literature, being alive and living in the current. Knowing that without my music I would have nothing. It's easy to stay motivated if music is all you have.

Those out there which listen to electro must have surely bassed their asses off to this man: with classics like "Overdrive", "I Am Illektro" & "Internal Software". We have been struck by this man's talent for years now, listening through his collection the depth is also really evident: everything from dark & gloomy to full-on bass in your face!
Anyway, we are huge fans of this man and that is why he represents number 70 in our podcast series: a live mix of his tracks, some you will recognize and some are bound to be added into all of your electro lists later this year.  
Go check out his new EP on brokntoys "Paranoid Android" as it is another banger but first:

Let his music do the talking.

DUSK AMSTERDAM PODCAST

DUSK070 By Illektrolab

This is the 50 minute set I put together for UpDigitals (https://soundcloud.com/up-digital-dj) Sedna Sessions Extra Time - streamed this past weekend. Apparently there was a few technical issues at the beginning, so thought I'd share here for anyone interested

All the tracks are pieced together in what turned out to be a mixture of a live set and almost a DJ set, combining the last couple of years electro based bits I have made

All music is unreleased and currently available - contact me if you are interested. Those who have already, let me know if you hear anything you like!

[AF029] JAMES SHINRA 'REVERIE EP' [2020]

Eris Drew is one of those artists who seemed to blow up over night, but who had actually been hard at work for decades. A long-time residency at Chicago's Smart Bar brought her to international attention, and her own Motherbeat parties at various places around Europe furthered that reputation. It is there that she manages to cook up pure, unadulterated dance floor love and euphoria with hi-energy selections and a unifying sense of oneness that is put together with her own so called “orchestration” mixing techniques. An inquisitive musician and innovative recording artist, she has also just put out her debut solo EP on Interdimensional Transmissions and runs T4T LUV NRG with partner Octo Octa. 

This week's mix is all of the above and more: a throbbing, impulsive and full bodied experience that serves up the most bumping house grooves but run through with the warm ambient glow of a post-rave comedown. The music feels at classic but also thoroughly contemporary: it will make you pump your fist in sheer joy, but also sends warm waves of euphoria through your body. This is the sound of the Motherbeat.

Eris on her mix:
"In a recent interview for DJ Mag I talk about my connection to the song “Secrets of Mediation” by Dutch producers Alex Dijksterhuis (Jamez) & Gaston Steenkist (Dobre). At Chicago raves in 1994 and 1995, this track revealed to me that modern dance music contains archaic ritual elements such as trance-inducing resonances, penetrating sacred drums, and language transformed into glossolalia. My DJ mix for Dekmantel is inspired by my formative dance experiences and by the intense extended sets I play at psychedelic raves such as Motherbeat and No Way Back. The mix includes bass music, progressive, breaks, house, techno, and minimal, all of which I collage, drop and scratch to put us into a tunneling trance."
