Yakuzi KoDi Funkybuilder - Powerfull  Unity Connection

The man behind our next podcast is something of a dance music godfather. He has been instrumental in the development of the West Coast electro scene in The Netherlands, is the founder of the much loved community radio station Intergalactic FM and runs a clutch of labels including Viewlexx and Murdercapital. He pioneered the electro sound and kick started a disco revival with his own productions, is behind a number of seminal mix compilations and DJs around the world, playing everything from Italo to cosmic, synth wave to horror sound tracks. Recently he made a rare new record on his own Viewlexx label under the Panama Brown alias (which is I-F and Legowelt together) and now he has served us up a sizzling new mix. 

Lasting just over two hours, the mix is a slick and seamless ride through many different genres. Rather than following one predictable arc, the moods and grooves seamlessly change gear through uplifting stuff, jacking stuff and vocal stuff from across the ages of house, techno and electro. A truly kaleidoscopic selection that finds I-F digging typically deep, this is a hugely enjoyable window into his unique musical world.

It is to UK shores we head now, and to the assured bunker where Hessle Audio, Clone and Hemlock producer Randomer resides. For the best part of a decade now, the man born Rohan Walder has been turning out interesting and arresting electronic music that veers from acid to ghetto, bass heavy to beat driven. Always laying down groves with a jacking edge and roughen texture, he is a contemporary innovator who is just as unique a proposition in the DJ booth. 

This new podcast proves that and wastes no time in getting going. Right from the off it is a hurried and physical affair that never sits still for a second through the ensuing hour. The whole thing is tightly mixed with plenty of energy and proceeds at never less than 100 miles an hour. Every track is a fulsome, busy and brutal offering that cannot fail to get your attention on a Tuesday morning.

It is with great pleasure that we present to you our 100th podcast. Over the course of the series we like to think we have mixed up big names with the stars of tomorrow; have shined a light on lesser known DJs who deserve the limelight and given pride of place to people with their own distinctive sounds. One such artist is Helena Hauff, the DJ turned producer who cut her teeth at the legendary Golden Pudel in Hamburg. Though she is a DJ first and foremost, her recorded material on labels like Werk Discs and Handmade Birds has never been less than arresting thanks to its dystopian blend of electro and techno moods and grooves.

This mix she has done for us is just the same: it is ninety minutes of elastic electro, popping techno and slithering electronics that are shiny and metallic, crisp and futuristic. It will push and pull you in many different directions but is all tied together by an infectious sense of slick robo-funk. Right up there with electro greats like Drexcyia and I-F, Helena Hauff is a suitably singular artist to helm this landmark podcast.

Dekmantel Podcast 100 - Helena Hauff

Dexter is one of electro’s most important figures. The Dutchman has been a key part of the scene for nearly twenty years, both with his own solo works, but also in collaboration with the likes of Steffi.  Together the pair run their own Klakson label, a small but well formed outlet that constantly invigorates the genre. As a performer he is famously adroit in the live arena, but also does magical things with records across multiple decks. His roots as a breakdancer mean he is a slave to a powerful rhythm, and that shows in this new mix he has put together. 

Though it lasts only an hour, Dexter packs so much you feel you have been riding his grooves for much longer: there are plenty of slithering analogue lines and sci-fi melodies, but also much more raw and rugged drum patterns that encourage you to jerk your body as the tempo moves from 120 up to 135bpm at the hands of tracks from labels like Klakson, Viewlexx, Fragile and Apron. Never settling in one place for too long, you’ll find yourself lost in acid, then catching a breath in a more serene synth workout then ducking and diving below a volley of percussion before you can even say ‘hell yeah!’
