Pacific Spirit 032 | DJ D.DEE & Unknown Mobile

short introduction by Apiento:
"The Pilotwings are Guillaume Lespinasse & Louis De La Gorce. They’ve been releasing music for around five years now and to me feel like they have a fun side to their super nice musical licks. Their tracks often twist and turn and embody a sense of playfulness sadly missing in lots of music. We highly recommend anything they put their name too. So here they are with a very very balearic DJ mix just in time for summer. Sit back and enjoy."

For the 7th installment of our mix series we have the pleasure to welcome the always smiling Benedek(@benedek_music) with his contribution named Zebrano Baby: Wilton's The Divide. Q&A (excerpt) here below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Nicky, how've you been lately?

NB: I’ve been great, enjoying the summer here in L.A.. Just working hard on music, had a few U.S. DJ gigs, some session work and a live show in L.A. that took up a lot of my time.

MFM: For readers that aren't familiar with Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show perhaps you could tell a bit about what you do and where you do it?

NB: Hahaha. I used to do quite a bit of session work and engineering. I’m good at setting up old gear and trouble shooting so I initially was getting hit up to wire up old synths and drum machines. I haven’t been doing that as much over the past few years, I’m mainly living off of my own music and DJing, which makes me happy. Now I just do gigs like that occasionally as they come up.

MFM: You seem like a musician who likes to try out new stuff and explore new sounds and directions. Do you consider that a plus or does it sometimes make things more complex too maybe?

NB: Definitely. I’m pretty honed in on what I like but at the same time there is definitely a breadth to my taste and what i want to achieve sonically. I often have to juggle multiple projects in different vibes going at once. It can take me looong time to finish tracks. More dance oriented stuff I can definitely knock out faster. I’m trying to get better at finishing things quickly and moving on to the next. I just kind of make what i want to make. It can be diverse but i think it all fits together in some way too via my harmonic, rhythmic and melodic sensibilities and the gear i use.

MFM: Could you visually talk us through your studio? 

NB: It’s on the fourth floor of an office building in Koreatown, Los Angeles. I’ve got a bunch of synths, samplers, drum machines and rack fx. Lately I use my SY99 and Prophet 600 all the time, Eventide H3500 and DSP4000, Yamaha SPX90, plus a lot of cheap Kawai gear. Vibe wise the studio is dark and cozy with two windows overlooking a busy intersection. I share the space with my good friend Alex Talan (Coolwater) who helped mix my Earlyman Dance record.

MFM: How would you describe the L.A. music scene, is it a nice place (for you) to be right now? Did it change compared to when you started?

NB: I think it’s pretty good here right now, lots of people are really into the music. What I love about the scene here is that it can kind of be whatever you make of it. There is a lot going on, every weekend there are multiple shows or parties put on by local crews. There are plenty of spaces to put stuff on, mostly all underground. It’s also easy to be in your own world and just work on music and enjoy the lifestyle here. It’s always been a place people move to fulfill their entertainment or artistic dreams, in the music or film industries or other fields, and I would say that applies now more than ever.

MFM: Thanks for your contribution to the mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

NB: I’m kind of putting this together as I go, but i guess its kind of an imaginary soundtrack for driving around LA in my Benz 190e, some kind of crime drama with some lighthearted comedic elements. I bought a lot of records while i was traveling this year but also reinvigorated my love for digging locally in LA, so it’ll be a mix of all of that.

MFM: What's up next, any exciting releases or things coming up?

NB: Up next is a 12” on L.I.E.S. with my buddy Delroy. We’ve been making tracks together for almost 10 years but this will be our second release, and first one under this moniker “Trackstars”. Earlier this summer I just put out a record with Tom Noble on his label Superior Elevation. Check it!

MFM Mix 007: Benedek

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Let’s lift dem spirits! let’s make being indoors fun again. A new ISO soundtrack to smash your head against the wall too, to reorganise your room too, to clean the fridge too, to pretend to work from home too, to do yoga in your cramped living room too. Actually fuck it, this is to have fun too. Fill up your cup and turn the volume up. 

the provider of the prozac is none other DJ Earl Grey, a real ‘leave the bag in’ type operator, Sydney’s own steezelord, A bitta Rimbombo royalty. A gentleman, a scholar and all round top notch human. 

This mix absolutely slaps. A contagious neck jerker, A Friday after work special, just some straight up feel good shit, which is exactly what we need right now. Be prepared to wear out the play button.

Good day / G’day / I hope this next mix finds you well / how about some precedented times for once! Interpret that as you please. Whatever your poison, it’s time for another dose and the doctor is in. It's with an absolutely full heart that I present to you the next chapter in the ‘stay the fuck home experience’. Our esteemed guest is none other than Mr. Naarm Deepcast himself, Myles Mac, aka a tall glass of water aka captain cloud aka Mt. Killa’dancefloor’o. Literally one of the OG immovable chess pieces of the Melbourne scene. Responsible for bringing Oz music up to date and into the future through the Melbourne Deepcast // TIP!! (for which I owe a lot to in many ways) and for bringing the world to us through a multitude of platforms and ideals thrown together across nearly every venue in Melbourne. For all his merits he’s still remained a very humble dude, he has all the time in the world for others and their harebrained schemes. Myles will gladly lend his ear to munted punter’s telling the same story for the third time, just a bloody good all-rounder, you could take him from kick-ons straight to meet the parents and they would best mates within the hour. I've had the pleasure of knowing Myles for about ten years now and seeing what he’s done and how he’s done it has been a pleasure to watch, he’s paved the way for many a DJ, myself included.

So, you’d think with all this experience in Dj’ing, running parties, and curating one of the better mix series in this audible world that he’d be able to produce a stunning mix that really highlights his knowledge of all of the above and the human psyche in response to those avenues, well, you’re correct. The mix is absolutely sublime. I couldn’t think of a better soundtrack for the introduction to hot weather, pool hangs, spritz’, warm nights, long drives down the beach (which we can now do), and whatever else you associate with summer. The mix itself is an audio-guided tour through a perfectly curated exhibition, gently carrying through from room to room, subtle nods in every direction but with subconscious overarching narrative tying everything together. This is achieved through the lost art of DJ’ing. Scientists say that these “disk jockey’s” would spend years searching for special types of recorded music for which they would then “blend” together on some “banging sound system” to the public to create moments of pure euphoria. This mix will end up in museums as a perfect example of that so people can really understand how their parents met. Anyway, the mix is laden with nostalgia, a 90’s head wet dream, continuously cementing a smile on your face and the overwhelming urge to nod your head. Pack some lunch for this trip, an extended hike through the mind of Myles Mac. This is your cue to stop reading and press play.

Just a quick tip’o’the’hat to Melbourne Deepcast, we, the people would like to thank you for the years of service. (Hopefully, I can finally submit something I’m happy with, in the next 100 years) 

Bless up. Stay as real as possible. Apply sunscreen to your mates back. 

Me: (in blue speech bubble) 

	You got any words you wanna say on the mix? No worries if not

	I've got plenty

Myles Mac: (in grey speech bubble) 

	Haha yeh you go for it 

	Basically wanted to make a 90s chillout mix 

	It’s almost all 90s records except maybe one or 2

	Inspired by old mixes by Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton (Global Communication), The Big Chill Festival, LTJ Bukem, and the likes 

Could also add to the list Dubtribe, The Primitive Painter, Andrew Weatherall 

Me:
	Done

Myles Mac:

	Sick 😇

Vol. 60 comes from a bigg favorite, Nina. She was based in New York for a while but recently relocated to Australia, and the themes that inspired this mix feel reflective of that transition: “memory, distance, the weather, writing and solitude”. As always from her, it's a thoughtful and heartfelt selection of songs, and is unique in the ground that it covers.

@khotin has served up a free flowing range of multi-genre experiments since announcing himself with a soft-hued acid album on 1080p back in 2014. Now involved with running Normals Welcome as well as releasing on DFA, Pacific Rhythm and Public Release, his music is united by a distinctive take on melody, post-club melancholy and love for downtempo sounds. He crafts blissful songs filled with nostalgic feelings and is exactly the sort of artist in whom we can all find some sort of solace.

And this mix is a perfect tonic for reluctant bodies with its slowly cascading rhythms and soft focus melodies serving as a gentle New Year wakener. It's laced with perfectly dreamy pads and ramshackle drums that are never too forceful but always compelling. While often invitingly sombre in mood, the clouds do break along the way to bring moments of real lightness and joy just when you need it.

Stefan Ringer was live with the second instalment of his show FWM Radio. He gave us two hours of soulful dancefloor cuts from the likes of Byron the Aquarius, Blackpocket & Steve Spaceck and Fred Owens & Robert Owens. Smoot broken beat and deep house from start to finish.

FWM Radio w/ Stefan Ringer - January 2021

Surely one of the best DJs in the game of House Music, Gene has not only presented killer mix after killer mix showcasting the immense depth of his collection, he also is a very good producer himself - constantly raising the bar on his very own "Limousine Dream" imprint. 

For 5918mins., Gene slows things down a couple of BPM and leads us through the downtempo side of things, with the same combination of thorough- and playfulness that has become a hallmark of his mixes. We're very happy to have him onboard and will patiently wait in line for track IDs. Enjoy!

2021's first mix in line comes all the way from sunny Australia by dear friend Lauren Hansom (@laurenhansom). Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Welcome on board Lauren. How was your start of the new year? It's summer where you are now right? That must be nice :)

LH: Hiii! Thanks for having me onboard :) The New Year has been great. Spent time surfing & soaking up sunshine in Australia.

MFM: You moved back to Australia last year. What has been keeping you busy there since? 

LH: I moved from Amsterdam to Berlin at the end of 2019 and went to Oz in February 2020 for a holiday. COVID hit, so I ended up staying. An easy decision with nature, beaches, food etc. Although, I’ve pretty much been living out of a suitcase as the majority of my stuff is in Berlin. I bought a Yamaha RM1X & a Poly800 last year to do some music and learnt The Mandalorian theme tune. I’ve also been learning more about quantum mechanics & biology plus space, which actually led me to find more cosmic sounds in genres from IDM to new wave for example. Imagining space with a multitude of soundscapes is pretty neat. 

MFM: While many DJs jumped on the streaming bandwagon it looks like you kept rather quiet over the last months. Is that for a reason? Did you maybe find other ways to creatively let go, or...?

LH: Thought you wouldn’t have noticed - was secretly trying to pull off a “Homer Simpson disappearing into the hedge”. Streaming is a great way for people to stay connected given the circumstances. For me, having a live crowd is always part of my process. No crowd, no party (or a one person party - not bad for these days, actually...). Also not having any gear here made it hard, especially with lockdown and social distancing.

MFM: Things were going really well for you as a DJ, your career seemed to be in a lift. What do you now hope for when touring becomes an option again? Has 2020 changed your perspective? 

LH: Thank you for saying so. I was pretty overwhelmed by how often I was playing and am grateful for it. It’s still very much a “pinch-my-arm” thought. I really would love to continue sharing tunes & creating musical experiences in some capacity. I’ve been thinking about Music Supervision within film & TV, so have been spending time on the side looking into that.

MFM: I've heard quite a few DJs saying they lost the urgency or need to listen to dance(floor) music. How is that for you? Have you been keeping track with new music lately at all? 

LH: I’m always listening to different styles, especially non-club music as it’s sort of where I started. Although I’ve enjoyed the holiday of not having to find a billion new tracks before every weekend, I’ve still been following new releases & it’s been interesting to hear how music has been shaped by the pandemic.

MFM: How would you describe that shape shifting? 

LH: I noticed more people collaborating from afar due to social distancing, restrictions and general lockdown. I think this allowed for some experimentation in a way and often that leads to something surprising and new. Sonically and stylistically, I think 2020 was really diverse as opposed to previous years where there was definitely a “Sound of Summer” so to say. There were also a great deal of compilations for new music to support artists affected by event cancellations and club closures.

MFM: About the mix, do you actually prefer a mix request to come with some kind of theme or direction to it, or do you value the freedom more? 

LH: Both. It’s nice having a brief as it gives you boundaries & pushes your creativity. Sometimes too much freedom can make it difficult. That said, I’m always imaging stories & daydreaming, so often the imagery in my mind’s eye gives me a good starting point. Once I have an idea, I create a selection of music & work out a way to make it all flow until there is some sense of an emotional ark & musical journey.
